Causes of Bitter Cream.

First--ragweed in the pasture. This is
a frequent cause just now, when cows are
fed in stubble or moving lands, The fla
vor given BY ragweed is a disagreeable.
intense bitter, quite different from that
caused by fermentation Of the milk.
Second-mildew, but especially the red
spotted mIldew, which forms upon the
cream in damp cellars. and appears in
spots about the size of split pea. This
is caused by the mpregnation of the eel
lar with spores of the mildew. and is verv
difficult to get rid of. The only way
have succeeded in doing it is by burning
sulphur in the cellar. which is kept tight
ly closed for considerable time, until the
walls are saturated with it, and after
wards by keeping the air dry by means of
a box of freshly-burned lime kept in it
until it is air-slsked.
Third-keeping the milk too long with
out Swimming until the whey separates
and the cream floats upon it.also by keep
ing the cream too long without churning.
Thirty-six hours is long enough for
either, which makes the cream three
DAYS old when it is churned.
Fourth-imperfect cleaning of the milk
pals or the churn, and leaving curd in the
seams or corners. Putrd caseine has a
bitter flavor, and very rapidly commune
Gates the same to milk and cream, appro-
priating nearly the whole of it.
Fifth-the tarrow condition of the COW,
and her advanced state of pregnancy. will
cause this trouble.
Sometimes the addition of as much pow
dered saltpeter as will lie upon silver
three-cent piece. or about five grains. to Il
siX-quart pan of milk, will prevent the
bitterness, and to give the cow dose of
two drains day for week will have the
same effect, have found two grains a
salicylate of soda to four of quarts of
milk will prevent mold even in mustv

this season the cause of it. nine times out
OF ten, is in the feed, especially if it is at
termath or stubble grass. In this case
the remedy is obvious-Cor. Country Gen.
