Dear Aunt Daisy, ‘I have had some farm butter sent me, and it is unfortunately a bit raneid. I wonder if you or any of our Daisy Chain could tell me what to do to sweeten it a bit. I was so thrilled go get it, and I don’t want to use it only for cooking, but would like it to help mv butter ration a bit on the tahle

Here is a method which hag been sent in by someone who found it worked well, Cut up a pound of butter into
about six parts; then cover with fresh milk, in a good-sized basin, and let it stand for a couple of hours. Now work the butter well, in the milk, and then take it out and wash it several times in clean, slightly salted water. Work it well in the clean water each time., Another Link in the Daisy Chain writes:-"I just washed the butter in slightly lukewarm water-I must have used about eighteen different waters, and then re-salted it. No one was any the wiser, and no complaints." "Another old-fashioned remedy is to melt the butter on the side of the stove, with a little boiling water and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Stir it up well, and put in a piece of well-browned toast, and leave it till next day. Take the toast out, and use the butter fairly soon,
