Hints on Butter Making.

Mr.. A. Baxter, Minnesota dairy
man, talks about churns, cream, and
butter-making thuslv:
Any churn, of whatever shape or
style with no inside fixtures, if it but
evenly agitates the cream is all right,
and churn of any other kind is all
wrong.
AS to the temperature of cream at
time OF churning-each dairyman must
experiment with his own cream and
thermometer. We have found that the
cheap ones vary from two to six de-
grees, hence can advise only in a gen.
eral way, as the weather, time of year,
length of time cows have been MIXED,
all create necessary changes in the
temperature. We would say churn the
cream at sixty degrees in summer, and
sixty-four degrees in winter. We
always aim to SO temper the cream
that it will require no more than
thirty minutes nor less than twen-
ty minutes to produce butter by a
steady, even motion of the churn, and
when the separation takes place, stop;
not another revolution. Draw off the
buttermilk, pour in the churn clear,
cold water, sufficient to float the but
ter (Which should be in small granules
one-half size of wheat grains, give the
churn gentle rocking motion by the
handle a moment, draw off water, re-
place by clear, cold water, continue
the process until the water runs clear.
Allow it to stand in churn and drain I'M
til dry, remove to butter bowl or lever
butter worker, weigh, and add for each
pound of butter one ounce of first grade
dairy salt Carefully work the salt in
with wooden spatula (no ladle, mind
you,) remove to bowl and let it stand
twelve hours; return it to the worker"
and with the lever, by rolling, crush
ing motion, press out all signs of but
termilk, and pack. If the package be
not filled, keep the butter covered with
brine until next churning be ready

A High Standard or a Low Price,

The writers upon dairy subjects in
this country have done their best to lift
the average farmer out of the rut that
compels him to sell his butter in warm
weather for ten cents pound. At the
same time they recognize the herculean
labor imposed upon them. With most
farmers the habits of lifetime must be
changed in order to improve the quality
of their butter. Their ideas of cleanli-
ness are not in accord with the century
they live in. Bad smells and cream
stained tins have no terrors for them.
They have seen them all their lives all d
familiarity has bred contempt. The
man who eats his meals in rooms that
retain a perennial smell of strong meats
and vegetables has lost if he ever had
any delicate sense of either sight or
smell. As some one says, cleanliness
is but relative term. What would be
affected sensitiveness in one person
would be the daily habit of another At
the same time there are absolute stand
lrds of cleanliness in cheese and butter
making, and unless the dairyman can
educate and will educate himself up to
them, there is no need for him to keep
n making dairy products. He must
sither reach the highest standard or b
content to accept low price. Amsri-

The Weight Of Milk and Cream.

At the London Health Exhibition they
call skinned milk separated milk.
To be sure this is anything but stale
milk. The cream begins to separate
before the new milk grows cold. 1t is
put into revolving machine that is
said to 60 round seven thousand times
in a minute, and by the application of
centrifugal force the cream, being
lighter, flies to the top, collects in a
kind of cup, which is poured off into a
separate pail. New milk, freed from
its cream while yet perfectly fresh, is a
very different article from the thin and
rapidly souring fluid that has ..stood"
in paEs for the cream to rise The
weight of milk is another point that
offers some neat tests for scrutiny. The
average weight of milk is set down as
from l,026 to 1,035 compared with the
same bulk of water at 1000. Watered
milk is therefore lighter. but milk that
is rich in cream is also light in compar-
ison, because cream is lighter than
milk. 1.-The specific gravity and the
cream" says a correspondent at the
Health Exhibition, shave to be taken
INTO account together. The proportion
of cream again is measured by very
fine tests. The cream should be from
6-100 to 1l-l00; it is generally about
BOO; in the milk of Attorney cows it
will reach 30-1O0 to 40-10O.''-M Y.

AnglO-SaxOn.

The time when Latin and Greek
formed the chief essentials of learning
is fast receding into the past, and these
languages are having place assigned
them more consistent with the necessi-
ties of the modern world, which is not
tolerant of the acquisition of a kind of
knowledge that in great part is archaic
and useless. Under the influence of
this change our own language is rising
into an Importance which it could never
attain so long as it was regarded SIM
ply as a vulgar tongue, and the historic
al study of English is becoming one of
the most popular as well as one of the
most useful pursuits of our philologists.
The great English dictionary Of the
Pathological Society is only one evil
dence of this; for individual scholars.
dnring the last twenty years, have done
not little to lay bare to us the inner
structure of our language, and the
changes and notifications to which il
has been subjected in the course of its
long descent
Anglo Saxon literature is the oldest
of the vernacular literatures of modern
Europe. The materials of this early
literature are found chiefly in written
books and documents; but they are found
also in such subsidiary sources as in
scriptions on churches and church
towers, sun-dials, crosses, and even ON
iewelry. One of the most remarkable
in this last category is what is known
as the Alfred Jewel. Itwas discovered
in Newton Park, near Athelney, in 1893,
and in 17lS had found its way to the
Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, where
it still is. 1t consists Of an enamelled
figure enshrined in golden frame, with
agolden back toit, and with thick piece
of rock-crystal in front, to serve asa
glass to the picture. Around the
sloping rim the following legend is
wrought in the fabric: Elfred mec heht
Gewyrcean (Alfred me command to
makel. The language of the legend
agrees perfectly with the age of King
Alfred, and it seems to be the unhcsi-
tating opinion of all those woo have

THE DAIRY.

Cows are chewing the cud OF CON-
Ientment on those farms where plenty
of corn fodder has been planted.
The Elgin Advocate very properly
calls the attention of farmers to the fact
that in order to get the full benefit of
feeding whey to hogs, calves, etc., it
must be fed when sweet. After the
sugar has turned to Tactic acid, whey is
more apt to do harm than good In
other words, it is worse than worth
less as food after it gets sour espe-
cially is this the case with feeding it to
calves. They cannot drink sour whey
with safety and should not be COM
PEELED to do so.
An English exchange tells us of .
novel competition that has lately entered
into that market. 1t is no less than
milk from America. In other words,
milk is put into a can on this side of
the water, and in eight or ten days de-
livered in London. This looks very
like joke, but SO many wonderful
things are done nowadays that one
hardly knows what to believe and what
to doubt. If kept at low temperature
it might retain its sweetness for that
length of time, but it certainly would
not possess very fresh taste. Who has
seen itp
There are three kinds of .cow"
butter marketed in this country, grading
as follows: Creamery" comes first,
and sells at the highest figure, for the
reason that it is the most uniform but
ter manufactured. OF course, there
are grades and qualities of this article;
but it is, taking it as whole, by far
the most evenly satisfactory butyraceous
product ever made. "Dairy" butter
comes next, and unquest:onably is
often equal to creamery in quality and
flavor, while an occasional specimen
excels anything else produced in the but
ter line. But it essentially lacks uni
formity, and it can not therefore be de-
pended upon. 1t consequently fails to
command the highest prices, although
the average figures realized for it in
the past few years have been excellent.
Neither of these products are materially
affected by the competition of artificial
compounds Common butter, though,
is always struggling for supremacy
with butterine, oleomargarine, sueine,
ETC., and is losing ground, as it should,
in the unequal fight. Common butter
is the product of carelessness and shift
lessness. Poughman.
