Query. — Messrs. S. B. write: "We render our tallow and other slaughter house offal all together in the regular tanks, and we would like to inquire whether you have any- thing that will whiten it after it is rendered."
Ans. — You can treat the tallow and whiten and purify it after you have rendered it in the regular manner in your tank if you are willing to go to the additional labor of treating it in your open jacket kettle. The proper way to do is to fill your open jacket kettle or caldron, whichever you may use, about one-third full of hot water; dissolve in this a one-pound package of our, Lard and Tallow Purifier, then on top of this put the tallow after you have ren- dered it. It will make no difference whether the tallow is hot or whether it is cold. Get the water boiling hot; stir the water and the tallow frequently, about two minutes each time. This stirring should be at inter- vals of about five minutes for from fifteen to twenty minutes; then turn off the heat and permit the tal- low to settle; next skim off the tallow from the top. More tallow can be treated in the same ' solution in the same manner; in fact, you can use the same solu- tion in the jacket kettle two or three times. It should then be renewed with a fresh solution because the water will become impure, as the impurities of the tallow remain in the water and contaminate it; while in this condition the Tallow and Lard Purifier will exhaust its strength. Of course, more Lard and Tal- low Purifier could be added to the same solution, but it is advisable to change the water occasionally as it will p.id materially in purifying the tallow.
