hottest DAYS of August. 1t works the butter
milk out Of the butter in one minute. II cleans
itself in one minute.
Now, we do not claim that we can take the
poorest cream and make the incest butter, or
churn il n quick a good material; there are
many things that tel IN making good butter.
In the Iirst place there is great difference
in cows-some are natural butter cows. Others
not; then il makes a difference where a COW Is
paslured and what is fed to her. \ nice hillside
pasture facing the sun is better than low, wet
shady pasture; and when housed. few car
rots and some meal or what Is called ship
stud" increases the color and quantity of bu-
ter materially, while an acre of potatoes and
turnips would not make a pound.
And again, there i a time to skim cream
which is lust As the little white specs begin 10
come on it-not let IL remain until ii begins To
mould and grow Old, thinking that a little more
cream will rise. II it is not set in too deep
dishes IL will rise quick enough and when
skinned aud put in jar or can, stir it every
time you add 10 it, and not let it eliot and grow
bitter: If YOU do. you will be longer churning.
and have poor butter for your pains The tenn
perature of cream also makes difference
about the time. quality and quantity OF butter:
cream should be in fair state for churnng-
not too cold in winter nor too warm in sum
mer. Some people have an eXactness about it.
and keep their milk room at certain degree
of heat, summer and winter. Most dairy wom-
en- of experience can tell near enough by feel
ing. by common consent | believe 81 de-
greos Fahrenheit il is considered good state.
Now. these remarks are Just as applicable 10
this churn TO any churn but none OF them
affect the statements made in regard 10 its per-
formance-they Will vary the result, but por-
portionately it stands just as far ahead of 9TH
er churns in due relation 10 what it has to
work upon.
To produce churn that will churn quick is
one thing; and 10 produce churn that will
churn quick. make the incest butter. gather il
all. wash il free from buttermlk in one min
ute wash itself in the same length of time, and
be- cheap and durable. is another thing.
There is great difference of opinion among
dairymeu and women throughout the United
States in regard to working or washing the
buttermilk ont OF butter. some contend that
butter is not a good where you use water and
wash it out; that il will not keep sweet;
that it should pc worked out by tie hands;
others that it i better washed Perhaps rs
fair an illustration, by way of argument, was
published in an Eastern paper some wears ago
Two farmers were in dispute on the subject,
which ended in a wager being made. and each
good wife made a tub OF butter. Ouc washed,
the butt"rmlk out. the other worked IL out by
hand. The tubs We're put aboard whalcship
which made long voyage, and on it, return
the tubs were opened. and both pronounced
good. sweet butter.

whose hands are just suited 70 work butter
aud who understand it. They will make the
best butter; but take the whole twenty. per-
