To Cleanse Dairying Utensils.

Mr.. A. w. Cheever, editor of the Neeo
England Farmer, and practical dairy
man, recommends that wooden milking
pals be discarded entirely, unless the
wood is completely filled with shellac
varnish, or some substance that will
make the surface about as hard and i'm
pervious as glass, Common paint is
Objectionable at any time, besides, it
soon wears oft, leaving the wood ex-
posed to the drying influence of the air.
Tin is probably the best material for
milking pals, and, while new and
bright, answers well for setting the
milk and holding the cream. After
the tin becomes worn off, so the iron is
exposed, sour cream is liable to be af-
fected unfavorably by remaining in con-
tact with it. With careful usage good
tin utensils will last in good condition
in the dairy for long time. But for
churns, butter-workers, trays, ladies,
and stamps there is nothing equal to
good, clean, hard wood, thoroughly
soaked before using; and this thorough
wetting is of more importance than
some may suppose.
Cold water is Just as good as hot, if
time enough is given it to penetrate the
wood, but hot water takes hold of the
wood much quicker and is therefore to
be preferred. His own methods he
gives as follows:
'Our rule would be to wet every
wooden utensil used in the dairy, first
in hot water, to save time in swelling
the wood, and then in cold, to bring it
down to a suitable temperature to use.
Care should also be taken to keep the
wood wet at the time it is in use. A
butter worker set away for a short
time, with the butter in it, will dry at
the edges, and unless again wet before
using, will be likely to absorb the but
ter when brought in contact with it.
Whenever butter "sticksn to wood, the
wood is not in fit condition to use, and
the chances are that it can never be
quite thoroughly cleaned again. Look
at any piece of dry wood through a
magnifying glass, and it will be found
full of deep cracks and holes. Now,
let grease once get well into these
crevices, and it is there to stay. Wash
ing cleans the wood to the surface, but
swells it at the same time, and thus
SIu1o Ill uHo GREASE WHlCH Is ueepeE ILL.,
Our practice for many years has been
to wash the churn and other wooden
dairy implements, wipe dry, and then
place where they will come to the air,
but not where they will become very
dry. A clean churn does not require
much drying. On no account whatever
should amy wooden butter utensil be set
in the sun to dry. The wood will be-
come warped, the joints start, and a
leaky, shrinking old churn' will take
the place of what might, with proper
care, have lasted and remained sweet a
score of years. Dairywomen often
complain because their butter stamps
and cups check or split after little
use, so as to become worthless. A but
ter stamp should be washed and scalded
after use, and then put away damp,
and where it will keep damp until
wanted again. Any wood used for
handling sailed butter will soon be
filled with brine, and there is no neces-
sity of drying it through and through.

THE DAIRY.

Wisconsin cheese factories report
an active season. There is a general
increase in amount of milk delivered.
-Weedy pastures make poor and
bitter butter. When pasture is in a
very foul condition it should be plowed
and planted with some hoed crop.
"A quart of good milk should weigh
about 2.15 pounds, or nearly two
pounds two and one-half ounces. If
milk is weighed, this rule will give the
monthly yield in quarts more exactly
than measuring. fEI
Every cheese factory should have
what every cheese factory has not got,
shed over the delivery door so that
the wagon is out of the rain. There
should be shed long enough to cover
several of the teams, and there should
also be rules requiring the teams to
come in line, and posts planted so as to
compel this order. 1t will save a great
deal of quarreling and crowding to get
in first, especially on a rainy day.
When you select your calves to
raise, first decide which ones you intend
to keep for the dairy, as they should not
be fed so high as those intended for
beef. A calf forced from the start will
never lose its tendency to convert all its
feed to fat, which is a highly objection
able characteristic of a mich COW. A
calf that is intended for the dairy when
grown, may without injury be fed with
coarse enough material to cause it to
become somewhat pot-bellied.-E1-

Butter-Making a Fine Art.

1 look upon .bqtteT-makipS as one Of
the fine arts. No mah-4or~woman can
make good sb6ttspwitAoat the sensitive
ness of good. taste to recognize what
constitutes the excellencies of butter.
AS butter comes to me, and / sell it
for twenty or twenty-five cents pound;
BIS sells'a little higher; C's higher still;
while DIS brings thirty cents regularly.
| have benin diaries where the flavor
and working of the butter was excel
lent; but it goes down into the cellar
and stands several weeks before it is
sent to market. There, is q hole in the
cellar wall where the air constantly
enters; the temperature is constantly
changing, ,aAdg the lJutterlchanges, too,
or getSdainted.a If farmers will make
their butter well, then put it where It
will keep, it will do much better in
the end. Perhaps the soil of aman' s
farm is low, springy and wet, then the
feed will be sour, and you cannot get
nice butter out of that, either dairy or
creamery. The flavor of the butter de-
ponds largely on the flavor of the feed.
In order to make fine butter in the win
tertime, the utmost cleanliness must be
observed; must wash the cows udder in
warm water and dry with cloth. If
the atmosphere is bad, your milk will
be tainted. 1t depends on circum-
stances whether it is safe to set your
milk down in an improperly cleaned or
an improperly ventilated stable. As
soon as the milk comes to the exact
temperature of the surrounding air, it
absorbes the impurities therein.-AuS-
tin Beltndp, President of the Boston
Butter, Cheese and Egg association.
