believe that she does not know how a

whether 1t grows upon trees with a
shell like a walnut, or is domestic AMI

or perhaps we shodld say her ac-
fuantances-suprJsc that she was ne

the lover floor: and that she has no
more idea Of culinary operations than

Winter Buttcr.


If milch cows were fed with roots,
butter might be made during the win
ter. Some dairy women, however,
complain that it is almost impossible to
churn their cream into butter in cold
weather. Mr.. Van Emberg, [Scc n.
E. Farmer, vol. ii. p. l24, l25. directs
to keep the milk till it begins to change,
and then to churn it. He advises TO
mix the nights milk with that of the
next morning. and Gin summer this
change generally takes place about ten
O'Clock; in cold weather it requires TO
be kept longer for this purpose, say in
spring and autumn, the milk of the first
mess may be kept till the day following.
and then requires the addition of warm
water to the milk 10 bring it to the right
temperature for churnlng." Others adj
wise in cold weather TO pour as much
boiling water into the cream as will
bring it TO about the temperature of
milk Just from the COW. 1t is said that
cream managed in that way will re-
quirc but very little churning, and is
attended with no disadvantage, except
thai the butter will be white dav or
two.
II is said in Hunters Georgica Es-
says, that good butter may be made
from COWS led on turnips as follows:
Let the vessels which receive the
milk be kept constantly clean, and we'll
scaldcd with boiling wafer. When the
milk is brought from the dairy, with
every eight quarts mix one quart of
boiling water. and then put it up 10
stand for cream" This, it is asserted,
will destroy the taste of the turnip, and
perhaps may facilitate the process OF
churning.
DR.. Deanc's \. England Farmer
states that "a strong rancid flavor will
be given to the butter, if we churn So
near the fire as to heat the wood in the
winter season. In churning for butter

the air to have access 10 the cream

1t is recommended by some writers
to shorten the operation of churning b!
mixing little distilled vinegar with the
cream in the churn. \ tablespoon iul
or two to a gallon of cream is advised
and the acid may be carried of b!
washing the butter in two or thee chan

In Scotland dairy women give thc
butter a fine yellow color, by grating
some orange carrots, stralning the julc
