EVERY WOMAN HER OWN BUTTER MAKER.

A Franklin Institute of Philadelphia iecently submitted to a committee for investigation a new process of buttermaking known as the Taylor process, and as a result of these investigations the Institute has decided to confer on Mr Taylor the John Scott medal and premium for the invention Under the new process the sweet cream is poured into shallow pans, the bottoms of which are covered with absorbent pads made of white blotting-paper, supported on Turkish towelling. The pads absorb nearly all the constituents of the cream except the fat, and after the cream has stood on the pads for a few hours it may be rolled off. In this condition the product contains rather too much water and milk proteids, and on account of this, as well as the absorption of salt, it would not keep well. If, however, the separated butter-fat is worked and salted in the same way as the ordinary churned butter, the result is a fine grade of butter. The new process is very cheap, for the pads can be used over and over again for a period of nearly six months. The labor of churning is saved, and on account of the use of fresh instead of ripened cream, the product keeps better than ordinary butter. The process has been patented in the United States, Canada Btitain, France, and Germany.
