address at the late Dairyman's Conven-
ton at Utica, N. "
1t is not true that the management of
a good butter dairy has been reduced to
science. We cannot too earnestly urge
the necessity of cooling the milk as soon
as it is drawn from the COW to about So
degrees, after which an increase of several
degrees may be permitted, with advantage
to both quantity and quality of the but
ter. To this end advise tanks, holding
say 80 gallons of water, in which the
newly filed pans may be placed. A sup
ply of running water would be most con-
venient for this purpose, but it is not in
dispensible. As general rule the
amount of water required for cooling
mess of milk in properly constructed
tank may be very readily supplied from
well without any very great expendi-
ture of force. l would not recommend
the use of ice in butter making, except in
extreme cases, and only in water for
cooling milk or cream.
With good cows, good feed, and proper
Accommodations for setting the milk, there
is little difficulty in making good butter
but it must be confessed, after all, that
it is, in sense, an occult science-there
is sort Of slight about it which, if it
does not come by nature, must be acquir-
ed by experience. We may lay down
positive rules for every operation, but
the circumstances in which different dair-
les are situated are so various that these
rules, founded upon the highest success
in one instance, might not prove just the
thing in the other.
In conclusion, | advise that skinned
milk be put into the swill-barrel and not
be made into cheese. When fed to pigs
supplied with waste material from which
to make the coarscr and absorbent portion
of the manure, it will pay better than in
any other way. One year with another
it is question if the pigs themselves will
not pay quite as we'll as the skinned
cheese, and the manure remain as net
profit.
