Renovated or Process Butter. — Renovated butter is 

 made from bad butter which has been bought up by dealers. 

 There are certain factories which take the poor butter and 

 melt it, clarify it, aerate it, ripen it, and then churn it with 

 a starter of fresh milk, cream, or skim-milk. They also 

 remove the bad odors and color the butter attractively. 

 For a time much of this worked-over butter was sold as 

 creamery butter, a fraud, but now the law requires it to be 

 plainly labelled *' Renovated Butter,'* and also collects a tax 

 on it. This is done in order to encourage the making of good 

 butter.
