CJouted cream IS made By heating
the milk To lSO'. and then setting 1t
in the usual way for cream to rise.
AS is well known, the cream comes up
very thick. This cream is very easily
churned by merely beating II III
bowl. when il makes a dellcately TIA
vored butter. which viii not keep Tor
more than few days. Few persons
who write upon dairy matters seem TO
have a right idea of the cause OF this
thickening of the cream, and the pc
culiar quality and character OF the
butter made from it. These depend
wholly upon the fact that the albumen
in the milk is coagulated by the heat
and rises to the top with the cream,
and so adds to its bulk as well as to its
solidity This albumen gives the pc
culiar flavor to the butter as well as
prevents it from keeping.
Hundreds of thousands of cattle,
horses. swine, ard sheep are sacrificed
yearly for want of competent medical
attendance. There is ample room III
this country for 10, 600 veterinary sur
geons. That would give an average
of /. 900 horses and 4, 600 cattle to each
one, not to speak of the swine, sheep,
and dogs which are always needing
medical care. To support these in
comfort would require about $50, 900,
600 annually, or about 81 for each
owner of farm or about 81 for each
nerson owning animals that require
occasional treatment. 1t would pay
we'll if the owners of animals should
each adopt a system common III
France of employing surgeon at a
small annual sum to visit and care
for his stock regularly, to advise IN
regard to their condition and treat
ment, and to suggest proper sanitary
precautions. This would prevent
nearly all the losses which now occur,
and which undoubtedly amount year
ly to $50, 600, 600, and would save at
least an equal amount in losses of
service by sickness of the animals.
There is. indeed great need of
veterinary surgeons, and young men
having a learning that way might do
we'll to follow it.
WHEN ONE remarks concerning
filthy stables and their unfayorable
effect upon the health and profitable
well being of the animals keep IN
them. the reader may not consider ii
worth particular notice. When, how
ever, the Sanitarian, a journal devot-
ed to sanitary science, says the same
thing, it may, perhaps attract more
notice; and this is what the Sanitarian
SAYS of this subject; There is pos
sibly no more repulsive sight than a
COW stable, and one IN which dirty
cattle are housed is especially often
sive. 1t has been demonstrated that
COWS neglectedin this respect fail to
yield a perfect flow of milk, and it is
reasonable to suppose that such is the
case. The richest of food may be
given to them, but if condition in the
stalls is neglected they will not thrive.
The food odor of filthy stable must
necessarily permeate not only the
animals hide, but it has been proved
that the meat of Stalled steers, fat
tened under circumstances is unwhole-
some; moreover, the milk, even dur
ing the period of milking, is liable to
absorb the filthy carnations from
such stables and to become absolutely
poisonous. 1t would seem, therefore,
reasonable that owners and deslers in
cattle and milk should appreciate the
importance of cleanliness and its rela
ton to health, even as source to pro
tit.
