Winter Butter.

IF your mich COWS are fed with roots, and
are provided with good warm stables. YOU
may make as good and almost as much butter
as in summer. Some, however, CONF lain that
it is almost impossible to churn cream into
butter in cold weather. Butt you warm the
cream to proper temperature, before at
tempting to churn it, you may convert it into
butter, almost or quite as easily in winter as
in summer. In order to prove this assertion,
We will give our readers an extract from
valuable article, written by the Rev. ". Allen
of North Andoyer, Mass, and published in
the New England Farmer, vol. xiii p. 2l0.
" Having thought much on this subject,
making butter in cold weather and cNpe-
riencing all the results of which others com
plain, | have been led to the conclusion,
which experiments have confirmed. that there
is certain degree Of heat, could it be ascer-
tanned, to which the cream might be raised,
which would ensure quick process in the
formation and separation Of the butter from
the whey or milk, ut the same time preserve
the quality Of the butter, and prevent the
frotliness and softncss, which is the never
failing result Of long continued churning.
Z" To ascertain the degree of heat necessary
to ensure short process, We heated the cream
on the hearth to about - or 13 degrees-tis,
with heat in the churn, which was sculdeI
with boiling water, gave to the cream about
- degrees heat. In six or seven trials. du-
ring the months Of November and December,
the longest process in churning was twenty
minutes. the shortest ten. The butter has
been uniformly sweet and hard, and in moth
ing inferior to that made in October, except
in color, The last churning was on the oOth
Of December last. | attended to the whole
process carefully. The cream, when first put
into the churn, was 80 degrees. waited till
the heat had fallen to IS. and Immediately
began the operation. The butter was formed,
and ready to take lut CT the churn in just ten
minutes"

- As some of our readers have forgotten

- As some of our readers have forgotten,
and others, not knowing how, have wasted,
in vain attempts to make good winter butter,
time enough to pay for dozen newsrapcra,
we re-publsh ,he following from the Vermont
Chronicle Of Jan. ID, 1896. Butter is made
this winter in the family of one of the editors
Of that paper, in this way, with results equal
to Mr.. Putnam's. The churning has somo-
times been done in five minutes but this i,
not desirable. In summer, we know, cream
should be churned at a much lower tempera-
ture but in winter it should be warmed to
10 or IS degrees, 1--WE find that 10 degrees does
well) and then the butter invariably comes
in less than twenty minutes, and is sweet and
Of good consistency. Use u thermometer, &c
us to be accurate.
