HINTS ON BUTTER MAKING.
The opinion of the Journal of Chemistry oil- the vexed question of butter making is ! worth knowing, and it says : —Do not work too much nor too fast. Work slowly until all is thoroughly and evenly absorbed, otherwise the butter will not. be of uniform', color. "Working it too fast will destroy the grain, and the butter becomes slavyand hard-dike in its'teefcure. --Bet it stand or put it away in the tray for twenty-four hours. Then work it en.ough to remove all the buttermilk or . surplus brine, so that the butter may become dry or like a piece of cheese. Mould into rolls, and set these away for twenty-four hours, Or until they beoome hard and firm. The cloth should now be put on, so as to cover one end, while the other -is left, open for tho stamp. The cloth should be cut in pieces of exact size aud dipped in brine, and the butter rolled when the cloth is dripping wet. Butter should never come iu contact with the naked, baud. When in bulk it can be easily handled with a ladle and a flat paddle.
