From he Northern Farmer
Butter Making. aHr
ID. j. JERNIGAN.
Sandy Springs, Tenn, Sept, 1852.

lr would Icquire an article that would
till number ofthe Northern Farmer, to
give anything like full description Of
butter making therefor l shall only give
some practical hints upon the subject.
The oldest hint, historically, which l
have seen, was given by Herodotus-that
the Scythians used it. Hippocrates re-
commended it as medicine, externally.
Ono hundred parts of milk contains a.
bout four and a half parts of butter. Its
relish and flavor depend in a great degree
upon being good and sweet, but there is
such difference in cows, pastures, Gel
lars, and in dairy maids, that no fined and
invaluable rules can be given. ......
However much there may be depend
ing upon the feed, the condition ofthc cows
the management Of the milk, &C., &c,
which requires an article on each, must
hasten to give some hints for making good
butter, and pass the other interesting
parts of dairying for some ADLER pen.
Milk should be strained as soon as con-
venient after milking, and agitated as lit
tie as possible, so that, while cooling, it
may commence throwing up the cream
undisturbed. The cream should be skim
med off while the milk is sweet, and be
sure that the milk is not allowed to 90 in
with the cream, for it will sour and curde
which will be seen in the butter in white
streaks, that many cannot account for
Cream should be churned when sweet. and
while cool--the buttermlk drained of,
and cold water put into the churn and
churned lite, then drained off and some
strong brine put in and worked again
because the water will turn the butter
white, it allowed to remain. When it
oozes out it is better to work it in the
ehurn than to work it by hand, for it pre-
vents its being greasy, which hurts the
sale and flavor very much.
One or two spoonsfull Of salt to the gal.
Ion Of cream, will prevent its becoming
bitter in great degree.
A piece Of salcretus, the size of wal
nut to the gallon, when the cream is bitter,
or frothy when churning, will be of great
service. .. g#.
DO not put sugar into your butter, un-
less for immediate use
Salt according to the market which it
is designed for, but not very salt for any.
Put layer of salt in the bottom of the
tub, then cloth, fill within one inch, then
n cloth and salt-be sure that the cloth
does not co ne over the sides of the tub;
cover with good tight cover; keep it from
the ground, in cool place, from the cur
rent Of air. Follow these rules, and you
may expect that your butter will be sought
after, and from one to ten cents per pound
in advance of common article, will be
your reward. O. w. TRuE.
