The Dairyman's Cateell;Sm.

While butter is being made all over
this land, all places are not adapted to
creameries, nor will they pay there.
However, where pastures are good and
COWS plentiful enough (the important
point) other obstacles can be overcome.
There are makers to be had who can
make good butter under most circum-
stances; knowing the cause of certain
troubles, they avoid them; so that a
dairyman's catechism like this is a good
idea:
Why is butter sour or cheesyp Why
is butter notified or streaked? Why is
butter soft and spongy? Why is butter
crumbly or short? Why is butter solid
and close grained? Why has butter
white specks through it?
Butter is sour or cheesy because OF
the milk or cream being kept at too
high temperature, or the butter, after
forming in the churn, was still churned
and gathered in the buttermilk which
should have been at once drawn of
and water or brine (Which is far better)
substituted to both gather and wash
Butter is notified because the salt
which raises the color has not touched
those spots showing light, while il
should be thoroughly and uniformly
mixed in. or a strong brine while the
butter is in granule form does it about
equally as well.
Soft butter has various causes, over
working the'chief one; in this case it
will get solid, cut and try smoothly ex.
posed to cold, but slight heat softens
readily. Again, churning at high tenn
perature mixes in the buttermilk form
ing soft mass and difficult to remove,
and readily turning rancid; chilling,
washing and pressing out the only
remedy.
Crisp, crumbly or short butter is
caused by too much water being worked
into it by design or accident, and oc.
ours chiefly in cool weather.
White specks are of two kinds, one
sort being cream in the act of forming
into butter, the other dry cream, either
from while sitting being disturbed, sep.
arated and drying on sides of vessel. OF
from dry, windy atmosphere. But.
ter in which these are found is usually
of good flavor. To finish, fine, solid
butter is the work of proper tempera-
ture throughout, also preventing or re.
moving liquids from its composition be.
fore the butter has set; after which dis.
turbing its formation, even at the hands
of an expert, may make it closer
grained, but not so solid or crisp, nor
will the butter so disturbed stand up
under heat and exposure SO well. II
is generally understood that when the
grain of butter, as it is termed, is
broken up by overworking, it can never
be recovered to any extent This ]
claim is a mistake. 1t may be subject
ed to particular temperature (after
being handled and mussed to any ex-
tenD and yet brought back almost to
its original solidity; it will, however,
soften more readily in heat afterwards.

THE DAIRY.

1t is . poor dog that does not know
when churning day comes and has al
'eady an engagement on the adjoining
iarm.
West Andover, Ashtabula County,
D., is said to have the largest creamery
IN the world. 1t works up the milk Of
800 cows daily.
"A quart of good milk should weigh
about 2. 15pounds. or nearly two pounds
;wo and One-half ounces. If milk is
weighed this rule will give the monthly
yield in quarts more exactly than meas
airing.
Here is good idea. 1.-The length
Of time that young heifer keeps in
milk after her first calf is likely to
measure her staying qualities for all
after life. For this reason young heif-
ers should have their first calf in the
TALL. By good care and ensilage an
abundant flow can more easily be kept
up the next summer. If heifers calve
in the spring they are very liable to go
dry early the next fall"
Now is the time to begin to think
about building you an ce-house, if you
are SO old-fogyish as to be without one.
1t is an imperative necessity on every
dairy farm, and there is no need of its
costing a mint of money, either. A
rough house is just as good as the most
ornate, and generally keeps the ice
better. The best plan probably is to
build it half under and half above
ground in side hill. This makes it
easy to fill and empty.-4merican Dali
rynlan.
"A Southern correspondent of the
New York World, who gains from one
cow all the milk that is required for a
family of eight, and makes 250 pounds
of butter per year besides, gives his
method of feeding. He says, "If you
desire to get large yield of rich milk.
give your cows every day water, slight
ly warmed and slightly sailed, in which
bran has been stirred at the rate of one
quart to two gallons of water. By this
daily practice the COW will give fifty
two per cent. more milk Immediately
under the effect of it, and she will be-
come so attached to the diet as to re-
fuse to drink clear water unless very
thirsty. The amount of this drink nec-
esSary is an ordinary pallful at a time
morning, noon and night"
An exchange suggests that a very
good way of keeping pound prints OF
butter is to pack them in brine, and
gives the following directions for doing
it: Make a saturated brine of the
purest salt you can get, using a pound
of saltpetre to about twenty pounds OF
salt. Scald the brine by bringing 1t to
a boiling heat, skim, and apply when
sufficiently cool. The casks should be
carefully prepared, as well as the brine.
The gum and sap in the wood may be
removed by thorough steaming with q
high pressure, or by soaking in brine
till the wood is saturated, and then
filling the cask with boiling brine and
letting it stand till cold. BY keeping
the cask in cool place, and the butter
under the brine. the butter will keer
safely.

Censor.Ridden Authors.

If we do not now hear of arrests sim
liar to that of Turgeneff in 1852 for
publishing at Moscow biography of
Gogoi, that had been interdicted at St.
Petersburg, it is only because there is
scarcely any new writer of importance
to arrest. Turgeneff, as the Journal
de Petersburg says, was the ''last ves-
tige of whole literary period in Rus
STA, and those who gather round his
grave will do so with a feeling of pro-
found discouragementm mingled with ter
ror for the future of Russian literature.
One of the last letters written by Tur-
geneff to Russia was addressed to the
author of Peace and War, Count Leon
Tolstoy. exhorting him to further activ-
ity. The well-knOwn satirist Soltykoff,
who writes under the pseudonym of
..Stchedrin," has lately published a
series of light anecdotes of such an ex-
tremely stupid character that the critics
were completely puzzled to account for
the falling off in the productions of such
an able pen until it gradually dawned
upon their censor-ridden intellects that
the satire lay precisely in the intention
of the author to convey that nothing
better and worthier of perusal was pos
sible in the present state of affairs.
Perhaps no modern Russian writer has
felt the power of censors so much as
this one. The treatment of younger lit
erary aspirants, whose troubles seldom
transpire, appears II be worse. A case
in point Just occurs to me, for the
truth of which l can vouch. Several
months ago young man of some
promise published a volume of poems,
composed chiefly of selections gathered
from other published sources, and i'm
mediately on the appearance of the book,
which, by the way, 1 think had already
been permitted by the ordinary censors,
the author was hurried before the Min
ister of the Interior and threatened with
Imprisonment and exile. The books
were all burnt, search was suddenly
made in his lodgings, and he was placed
as a suspect" under the supervision of
the police.
The present state of the periodical
and daily press is deplorable. The con-
centration of the censor authorities, for
which we are mostly indebted to General
Ignatietf when Minister of the Interior,
forms watch on every channel of the
news and information; and the monop-
oily of telegraphic news vested in the
Northern Agency, which has swallowed
up all other Independent sources, is
equally detrimental to the true interests

Bran.

Bran as it is now made consists al.
most wholly of the husk of the grain,
and is rich in Oil and in phosphates.
But it is not so good feed as when the
inner husk of the grain is mixed with it.
This is sometimes called shorts and
sometimes coarse middlings. This
mixed with the bran makes an excellent
food. as it contains gluten and starch
For dairy cows it is the best of all feeds
fer producing milk, but for butter it is
better to mix third part of corn meal
Or cotton seed meal, or both, with the
bran and middlings. A moderate ra-
ton of this mixed feed is three pounds
daily; q full ration is six or eight
pounds. 1t will pay to use this even
for cows on pasture when rich milk is
desired, as it largely increases the guam
tity of cream in the milk. 1t may be
fed to the cows dry, or may be given
10 them with some short grass or clo-
yer. moistened little so that the meal
cannot be swallowed without adequate
mastication.-1he Dairy.
