make the most from milk, and at the sauna
time produce an article of good quality.-
Putting pint of cold water during the sum
mer months into each pan of milk when
strained from the COW, will materially aid
these desirable objects. The milk will not
sour as quick, and the cream will rise more
perfectly. The reason why butter made in
summer becomes rancid so soon, is owing to
the imperfect manner IN which the milk, fire.
qnentiy soured before churning, is separated
from the butter. Retarding the sourng of
the mix by the application Of cold water,
obylates the difficulty Farmer.
