DAIRY DEPARTMENT..
A D DAIRY COW.

And now Orange county, New York takes
the credit of having afanous COW. Accord
ing to a correspondent of the Turf, Field
and Farm, one Samuel Marvin, living near
Oxford Depot, in said county, has in his
herd of IS one small cow, purchased out of
a western drove, that gave last year, from
Jan. 6, 1875, to Jan. 6, 1876, six tons eight
hundred and eighty-two pounds of milk.
Now, this makes 1852 pounds of milk,
which, if it had been converted into cheese
at the rate of ten pounds of milk to one of
cheese, would amount to 1888 pounds,
which, even at the low price Of ten cents
per pound, would come to SIPS so. But If
her milk had been made into butter at the
rate OF 20 pounds OF milk to one of butter.
we should have over SIS pounds, amounting.
at 80 cents per pound, to $154.5O, besides all
the skinned milk. Cows like this are evil
IDENTIFY intended for "hard times,'' when
dairy products fall toa low figure, as the
increased product more than makes up for
the depreciation in price. The writer says
the statement of the yield of milk is no guess
work. but is taken from Mr.. Ms farm book.
and can be verified by a6fdav;tD necessary.
AS to her feed, during the winter months
she got one scoopful of soaked wheat bran
and two and a half quarts of meal each
morning, and a scoopful of brewers grains
and two and a half quartz of meal each
evening, and all the hay she would eat.
When on grass she was fed two quarts Of
meal each day.
The following is stated as her record,
which is certainly a remarkable n e

about changes which if they do not lessen
the quantity of butter at least prevents a
complete separation of it from the milk.
Hence the advantage of reducing the tenn
perature of the milk and arresting their
growth.
Such is the theory suggested; but without
entering upon this branch of the subject, it
will suffice perhaps for the dairymen to
know the practical operations of this plan
and the results obtained by experiments.
When the quality Of milk is considered of
especial importance, the ice method, it would
seem, may be employed with great advan-
tage and the subject must be Of interest to
butter makers. We hope at no distant date
to give the result of Mr.. Freeman's expert
ments more in detail, and have no doubt
they will be of interest and utility.-Rmul
Nea0 Yorker.
How TO MILK CLEAN.-It is sometimes a
great mystery to farmers why their COWS
dry up prematurely. They are unable to
discover any cause for the fact. The follow
ing experience of 4 fellow-suterer may be
suggestive to them. It is our belief that
many poor COWS may be accounted for by a
similar cause. A market gardener near
Boston had a very fine COW that was MIXED
week and week by two hired men. He OBJ
served that the amount of butter he carried
to market weighed about a pound more on
each alternate week. He watched the men
and tried the cow after they had finished
milking, but always found that there was
no milk lett in the teats. He finally. asked
the Scotch girl who took care of the milk, if
she could account for the difference. "Why,
yes,' said she, "when Jim milks, he says
to the old cow, so, my pretty little muley,
so;' but when Sam milks, he hits her on the
hip with the edge of the pail, and says:
: Hist, you d+n brute.'n

TIE ICE METHOD IN BUTTER MARING.
MI. Fl. 0. Freeman is making extensive
and repeated experiments at his creameries
IN cooling milk for raising cream, as sug-
gested in our +" Practical Butter Book He
writes us under date of April 2Sth that he
has applied ice water to the style Of cooling
vat adopted at the Ridge Mills Creamery
with most satisfactory results, and he says:
- am confident the principle of cooling
with Ice water Is correct when all the cream
is wanted and the milk is to be kept sweet
for cheese. The point with me is, What plan
is best adapted for a creamery ?"
The effect of low temperature on milk set
for butter making is arresting attention, and
is likely to make some important changes in
our system Of butter making. The London
Lancet gives the result of M. Eug. Tisscr-
and's observations recently communicated
to the Academic des Sciences. He found
the nearer the temperature of the milk is to
the freezing point the more rapid is the col
lection Of cream, the greater is its bulk, the
more butter it produces, and the better is
the quality of the butter as well as the skim
med mix Tor cheese making. He expert
mented on milk fresh from the COW at vari-
Gus temperatures from 95o Fair. to that
near the freezing point, and the butter made
from milk which had been cooled down to n
low temperature was always Of a fine quail
ity, more delicate and OF a firm consistency.
altogether more unctious to the touch than
the butter from the cream of the milk that
had not been cooled or insufficiently so from
45o to 81 .. 1t had above all that property
required for culinary purposes-of keeping
fresh for the longest time.
These facts, lie thinks, may be explained
by Pastenr's observations on ferments and
their effects on the media IN which they live.
Refrigeration assists the growth OF the liv-
ing organisms which set up fermentation.
In the process of fermentation these organ
isms feed upon the solid constituents of the
milk-the butter and the misunderstanding

Dairymen who think they are getting fair
returns when a cow yields 400 pounds of
cheese or $50 pounds Of butter per year,
will do well to study the above and consider
what the possibilities are of a model dairy
