PEANUT BUTTEE. 13 that the ghiss jars used be clear and white,in order that they may pre- sent an attractive appearance when placed upon the market. The use of jars that are composed of glass of a greenish tint will give the best peanut butter an inferior appearance. Bulk goods are generally handled by dealers who sell large quantities, and a pail or tub is quickly emptied. The principal objection to the sale of bulk goods is the fact that the pails or tubs are frequently left uncovered in the stores and the contents exposed to dust. Manufacturers of bulk goods should provide suitable tight-fitting covers having a knob or handhold upon the top of (he cover. The type of tin can with an inside-fitting cover shoAvn in figure 7 is especially adapted for the handling of peanut butter in bulk. Dealers who handle peanut butter in tubs or pails should also bear in mind that the oil in the butter has a tendency to rise to the top and the heavier par- ticles to settle to the bottom. In order that the product may be uniform throughout, it is desirable to use a wooden paddle and to stir it frequently from the bottom of the pail or tub. Dealers and consumers fre- quently complain of the oil that rises to the top of peanut but- ter in the small jars. If this happens it is onl}^ necessary, upon opening the jar, to mix the oil thoroughly with the remainder of the contents in order to restore it to the original consistency. SUMMARY. Peanut butter is rapidly growing in popularity as a wholesome and nuti'itious food. While large and well-equipped factories are being used for the manufacture of this butter, a clean and wholesome product can also be made on a small scale, provided good materials are employed and the Avork is conducted in a sanitary manner. A peanut-butter factory should not be conducted in conjunction with a peanut-cleaning establishment because of the dust resulting from the cleaning process. [Cir. 98]. Fig. 7. -A
