It needs care and skillfuI scientific
treatment. Lowering the t. smperature
as in the foregoing case is what il most
essential to cure. There rs also a
veterinary process, which the Doctor
proceeded to describe. Angular tuner

increase. Unless prevented, it will be,

Of stanchions. For this, and other
reasons he was opposed to STANG HONS.
Another evil was putting COWS

placenta often occurred. THIS should
be watched, and prevented by .uanipu

we'll aske if saltpeter would n Ut do
it. The Doctor replied no, not thai he
was aware of. Mr.. @. said he employ

Tho Doctor concluded by euloglzin1
prevention. Such means as breeding
from healthy animals, aud observing
rules Of good management, would
ward off disease.
MANUFACTURE OF BUTTER.
The subject of Butter, Methods of
Manufacture, including Care of Milk,
Churning, Saltihg, and Packing"
elected much discussion. One speaker
urged the use of Liverpool dairy salt,
or, next to that, Onondaga, and depre-
Gated the use of common salt. as It ia
too coarse and full of impurities, so
much SO that it will ruin butter, no
matter how we'll made in other partic.
ulars. Another complained that the
course pursued by country dealers was
very discouraging to good butter MAX
ers. They do not discriminate as to
quality, paying as high for The poorest
as for the best. Prof. Miles said he
was in the habit of making his own
butter, because he could get better in
that way than he could buy. He had as
yellow butter in winteras in summer, and
this was attributable to the use of
roots. He fed yellow rutabaga turnips,
and avoided disagreeable flavor by
feeding ut or just after milking, Fed
an hour or two before milking. turnips
would flavor the butter, but by feeding
them according to his practice the un-
pleasantness was avoided, the flavor
passing of and not affecting the butter.
John Porter of Mazomanie, described
his process of butter making, and
strongly condemned the practice advo
Gated by many of allowing the milk to
freeze in winter. Capt. John futile.
of Kenosha County, objected to the
washing of butter, and claimed that
that was the sure way of spelling it.
In working butter the human hand
should not touch it. If it did,imore or
less animal heat would be impaired,
and that was injurious.
CHEESE MANUFACTURE.
Chester HAHN, President of the Wis
consin Dairymen's Association. read q
paper on ''Cheese, methods of manu-
facture, especially as to the manage.
ment of tainted milk, and the best size
for and modes of curing cheese" He
said it was comparatively easy to make
good cheese from good milk. But thew
often had to deal with tainted milk. or
floating curd. His method of treating
it differed somewhat from that USUALLY
practised. He allowed fermentation to
take place before going through the
curd mill. Hehad succeeded in produo
ing fair article of cheese from very
bad milk. It took more milk per pound
of cheese when tho milk was poor. The
speaker detailed his whols process of
cheese-making with much minuteness.
He condemned the use of annatto as
needless and injurious fashion, which
ought to be rebelled against. Curing
cheese was of great Importance. The
curing-room should not rise higher
than seventy.ti five degrees. Great care
should be taken in the use of the aoi-
tator, or curd-rake, lest the milk
should in effect be skinned. Doctor
Wight, Of Oneida county, N. Y, has
stated that it did not require much
skill to run cheese factory, the BUSH
ness was SO systematized and the rules
so we'll understood. He differed from
the Doctor in this respect. Miss Wild.
ger, of De Kalb, ILL.,, stated her mode
Of treating tainted milk. She cuts the
curd very fine, scalds at 100 degrees,
runs off the whey as quickly as posi-
BILE, cooks the curd thoroughly, turns
on cold water, and let's the curd drain
perfectly before putting it into the
press.
G. H. Wilder, of Evansville, urged
the impolicy of extreme eagerness on
the part of the patrons of factories to
get whey. It led to scrambling, faint.
ing of cans, and injury to the reputa.
ton of the factory. He had expert.
mented largely in the feeding of whey,
and proved to his satisfaction that Il
was of but little value. He had fgur.
ed it down to twenty-one and hall
cents per ton. 1t didn't pay to team
it home even q short distance. H.
recommended milk routes along which
a full load could be collected. Fac
tories should not be built nearer Il
each other than will admit of sucl
routes in various directions. He urgei
the importance of both factorymen ant
patrons understanding the business
that it might be so carried on that til,
Northwest could successfully complet.
with other districts in the dairy market
! of the world.
