ANALYSIS 0f BUTTtE3.
Everyone knows that thereis a great dif
ference in the richness as well as flavor of
butter, but the why and wherefore is not so
etlsily found out. The chemists have taken
hold of this subject, and it is possible taht
we may through their aid have some light
thrown into the butyraceous abyss. The
following from the Agricultural Gazette is
one step in that direction :
A report has been made to the Board of
Inland Revenue by the Principal of the
Chemical Laboratory, Somerset House, on
experiments Copducted by him' for the anal
ysis of butter. One hundred and seventeen
shmples were tested, the resuit being that
while a few samples were found to be very
poor in quality, and a few others exception
ally rich, the great bulk examined were
found to possess considerable uniformity of
composition, the principal variations being
apparently due to a difference in the method
of manufacture, the different seasons of the
year when made, and the various modes of
feeding. As might be expectedi. dome of the
poorest butters were produced by an ob
tained from small farmers in Ireland, at a
time when there was very little grass and
food was scarce. it was also noticed that
the butter was relatively poorer in its es
sential constituents when the food was chief
ly cotton and oil-cake than was the case
when roots and grass formed the stable
food. A noticeable feature in the results
recorded is the great variation in the quan
-tity of water in the different butters, the
lowest being.4.15 per cent. and the highest
20.75 per cent. The Devon and Dorset but
ters, which usually stand so high in the
market, were found to contain in nearly all
cases a high percentage of water, and one
which was procured from the dairy of a pri
vate gentleman contained as much as 16.90
per cent., and a second sample, recently ob
tained from the same source, contained 15.70
per cent. Another'point of interest was in
some measure elucidated, and which has
refereneti.tha deti oration which -certain
butters underg.o when kept in small quanti
ties in glass or earthenware vessels. It' was
found that while some of the finest and best
prepared butters undergo little or no change,
there is Ir others a gradual disappearance of
the eharacterlstic.principles of butters,' and
a consequent assimilation to the constitutioni
of an ordinary animal fat. This change,
whldih'appears to be due to an ia cipient fer
metation, and is generally accompanied by
the development of fungi, is probably caused
either by the use of sour cream or by suf
flolent care in making butter.
