Good Rutter in Winter.

A farmers wife writes the american
4oriculturist, as follows:
For the benefit of my lady friends,
will give my experience of twenty-five
years, in making nearly as good butter
in winter as III summer. In the first
place, we suppose the cows to have
been fed on good feed. After the milk
has been strained, put it on the stove
to heat, either in pans or in any other
way thought proper. Do not make 1t
too hot or the cream will not rise, 1t may
then be placed in clean cellar, free
from vegetables or any thing that Will
give the cream an unnatural taste, or
in cupbroad with canvass door, IN
moderately warm room: if in the latter
place, it should not be put in until the
steam has passed off, otherwise the
shelves will be liable to mould. The
milk should not stand longer in winter
than in summer, or the butter will be
bitter. In SO or 4S hours the milk
should be skinned, if in cool place,
sooner if in warm one. If the milk
is thought to be too rich to give to the
pigs, let it stand longer, and use the
cream that rises on it for shortening or
in some other way than for butter.
If the milk has been kept in warm
place, take the cream to warm room
day or two before churning. If you
wish the butter to look and taste like
grass butter, CRATE orange carrots, put
some hot water or milk to the pulp
strain and add it to the cream, which
should be little above 60 deg. when
you commence churning. A common
size teacupful will color six pounds of
butter. After churning, draw off the
butter-milk, put cold water in the
churn, and churn few minutes, and
if managed right you will never fail of
having good butter. Irejoice that the
prejudice against washing butter with
warm water, is slowly passing away.
Heating the milk, believe is an Eng
lish method, and ought to be more gen.
orally practiced, then there would not
be so much poor butter in the market.
