Fig. 53.—BUTTER PROPERLY SALTED. shown a sample of well-salted butter, as it appears under a microscope. At figure 54 is shown a sample in which salt of a poor quality has been used, and this has not been evenly mixed in the butter. In the first sample, the salt has been entirely dissolved ; not a single crystal remains visible, although the magnifying power used w^as equal to five hundred diameters. The com- plete solutioil of the salt, w^ith thorough mixture of the brine in the butter, and the very perfect working of it, give to the butter a firm, dry and waxy consistence, and an even quality and flavor. The other sample shows a large quantity of salt un- dissolved; the peculiar form of the salt crystals is readily.
