Moreover, the salt is impure, as is shown by the arrow-head crystals, which are evidently sulphate of lime, a common impurity in a poor quality of salt, which gives a bitter taste to the butter, and causes white spots to appear in it. The bitterness is probably caused by the formation of sulphate of soda (Grlauber's. Fig. 54.—BUTTEB NOT PROPERLY SALTED. salt), and the white spots by chloride of calcium, both being produced by the reaction of the dissolved sulphate of lime, and the chloride of sodium (salt), in the butter. The white spots with a dark center are no doubt caused by the action of this chloride of calcium upon the butter; an evidence of this may be found by testing a little of the same with a small fragment of this substance. When the butter is freed from excess of moisture by this action of pressure above described (and this method is important to be observed), it is ready for packing and should be packed at once.
