Butter-Mak

The chief requisites in buftermaking may be
said to be the utmost care to keep all the utensils
ut the dairy sweet and clean and dry; to keep
the milk room well ventilated, Of the right
temperature. and absolutely free from damp
ness and all unpleasant smells which moisture
is sure to generate to skim before the cream
has stood too long on the milk. from eighteen
to twenty hours being ample time if the
milk is 10 suitable place. All the cream thar
rises after that is positive injury to the butter
so far as delicacy of flavor is concerned. More
over the cream must be churned at the right
temperature, without hurry. The huttermilk
should be thoroughly worked ont, so "a to leave
but the least evidence of moisture viii NAV
appear in the form OF very slight dew, the
butter OF such frDness and consistency as to
slice down, scarcely dimming the polish of a
knife blade. All butter of good quality shou
bear these simple and palpable tests. but many
things must unite to produce snch a quality.
! Good cows are important. Some COWS give
milk that cannnt be made to yield the highest
quality of butter. but they are the exception -
Such COWS are not very common The fault Is
| far more frequently in the feed than in the
animal, and in the mode of making far more
| frequently than any other source Probably in
nine cases ont of ten, where poor butter is pro
duced the difficulty might be traced directly to
some defects in the treatment of the milk or in
| the process of manufacture
But the fact is. il is easier to teach man
how to make a watch than to make the first
| and incest quality of butter. 1t is so sensitive
to external influences that not one butrer maker
in a hundred appreciat s or can be make to ap-
preclate the extreme care required to attain the
end. And besides good deal must DEPEND
| upon the exercise of Judgment and observation.
both Of which are rare, and do not always come
| even with experience

price in the ma, ke', while poor article is al
ways drug. l. is important thar every effort
