EXTENDING THE.
POUND OF BUTTER
BY BIDDY BYE.
With best table butter ranging In
price from 55 to 75 cents a pound
the housewife is often unable to
provide even, enough for table use
without slighting other items in the
weekly food budget.
. A way has been found to extend
the pound of butter by one-half, by
churning it with milk. Of course the
food value is not equal to a pound
and a half of solid butter, and usual
ly the family requires larger helpings
of the extended butter so that it
does not save quite halt a pound of
butter but it does save at least a
third of a pound. - .
The method is thlsr Mix' 1-2
teaspoonful of salt with 1 pint of
whole milk. Set the small churn
containing the milk in a pan of very
warm but not hot water. Add the
salt and put in the butter cut in very
thin slices. When the butter is very
soft but not melted take the churn
out jof the warm water and beat the
contents until the butter has absorbed
the milk.' Three minutes' beating
should be sufficient. Then set the
Charlotte's Most Modern
Movie Theatre.

pour off into Jars or molds.
When melted fats are strong In
