BUTTER-MAKING.

'' A SKW I'KOCESS. Something entirely new in the way ol making butter Hint will keep is advo cited by a French chemist named Ehviiinuii. I'he process consists of blowiujj carbonic acid gas through the cream, or s washing the cream or butler with car- . Imitated water. In a pamphlet which M, Klirinann has issued, the following points in regard tu the prunes* are given: . -The quality of butter depends, first ot all, on the quality of the cream, and the cream, during the time it is stored waiting to lie manufactured into butter is subject to many alterations detrimental In the value of li;' butter produced and to its kce; ' ".ities. The effect of carbonic arV irevent such alterations. Wh ' 'rbonic acid is used, the butter |>vi-|„,i,-,! hv my process will retain its sv... . • , ■reshnees, and original Ilavour. The cream can be treated in two ways, either by the wet process or by the dry process. For the .small farmer, a small cylinder of eavbonie acid, with a reducing valve, will be a sulliciently convenient plant. According to the directions for using, the cream may be carbonated in the cans or in the vats by blowing Hie gas through cream, or the water used in the making of the butter may be carbonated, and this applied to the cream, butler, and utensils. The quantity of carbonated water to lie Mown into the i cream is about one-filth the quantity of the cream. More carbonated water is leqiiircd in summer, also when the cream has to be sent to a distant place or factory, or lints to be kept for a long time before being churned, or when the cream is over-ripe, if the butter has to be sent to a distant market, or to be kept for weeks, niiiiv carbonic acid is to be used for the cream. The cream can be churned directly after it has been carbonated, or some time afterwards, ami the btuter i* manufactured as u-:i,;h Carbonated cream keeps twwi burner than non-carbonated cream. It is never desirable to carbonate the milk, as a quantity of carbonic acid would have to be used much larger than is required Indie cream, aud would be. subsequeii'.lv lost iu the buttermilk,"
