The following rules for making butter
we copy from the Journal of Humanity.
Let experience prOve the best method for
making this valuable article -
If you have 4 or 5 cows, it is best to
churn every day; and by no means less
frequently than every other day; and by
40 means less frequently than every other
day. If you cannot churn every day,
throw into the cream, when gathered
handful Of nice salt. In very warm
weather, when milk sours soon, put
beaplng table spoonfuls of salt into every
pail Of milk, before straining. The guam
tity as we'll as the quality Of Butter is great
ly improved by this method. If you have
ice, put small piece into every pan oil
milk and also into the cream when you
churn. lfyou have no ice, put the cream
into pail and hang it in the well IL hours
before churning. In the warm season
/ cream should be skinned as soon as il
| is in the least sour, and in the coolest
weather milk should not stand more than
36 or 40 hours. The utmost care should
be taken TO keep every article used in
making utter, perfectly sweet, by frequent
and thorough scaldings."
