Thi market ta (all of adulterated butter and
chemists are still at work on the problem of making
butter without tbe cow and tbe churn. 1 he adul
terated article, however, has come to stay, and the
question to bo comidered is how to
make the beet aud cheapest article
at tbe least expense to the manufacturer.
Tbe use of neutral lard Is probably the largest of
all sdullerants. It is tsetelen, easily colored, and
gives a good body to the butter, and
is inexpensive compared with cream*
Cotton seed oil Is also largely used. It has tbe nat
ural advantages of flavor and color and gives tbe
butter a good grain. O-eo oil. a fluid obtained
from tallow, figures largely in the manufacture of
butter. Pure cow butter is difficult to find in any
