THE DAIRY.

TIE DAIRY.
Tho proportions of solids IN the
milk depend largely on the breed, but
it must be developed by food.-FGsrn.

Let every butter tub and every
butterine tub stand upon its own bottom.
and there will be no deception and no
wrong done to any one.-Chicago Jour

The capital invested in the dairy
business Of the United States Is COM
puted to be over 500, 600, 900 and to
employ about zoo, 900 men and 1,000.-
600 horses. Dairy World.
THAT the dairy interests are being
destroyed through the fraudulent sale
of bogus butter Is very certain, and I'M
less the General Government takes
hold of the matter it will not be long
until pure butter is almost unknown

Some writer in an Eastern paper
says milk sold ut three cents a quart
pays about the same net as butter sold
at twenty eight cents q pound. This
is below the mark. 1t takes twelve
quarts of milk or twenty-five pounds
On the average in whole milk creameries
to make pound of butter. This would
be equal to butter at thirty-six cents q
pound. which would give net profit
aside from keep of cows of at least
;hirty-one cents . pound.-Hoard's
Dairy,nan.
ALI the fine, high-priced butter in
he market is made from ripened cream.
The highest flavor and aroma can be
brought out in no other way. Butter
made from sweet cream. other condi-
tons being favorable, may be palatable
for day or two. but it soon commences
10 change, and in few days shows
signs of rancidity. Butter made from
sweet cream. just skinned. lacks
character and is almost neutral in taste.
Too much washing in fresh water also
takes away the fine favor. Amoderate
washing in weak brine is adopted by
the best dairymen. Excessive washing,
even in sailed water, is Objectionable.

"A writer says that the natural and
standard color of butter is some one of
the different shades of yellow. and the
best protection the general public can
have to prevent bogus butter" from
being palmed off on them as the genuine
article, is to have an act of legislation
passed that no "bogus butter" shall be
colored With any of the yellow shades
in imitation of genuine butter. Let it
be cOlorcd crimson. blue or pink,
then it will be obliged to stand on its
own merits and then the farmer will
not fear its competition. and the con-
sumner will know what he is buying and
eating.-Western Rural.
One recommendation of the butter
factory system lies in the advantage to
be gained from q big concern being
able to tnrn out a large quantity of a
uniform article for which higher price
can be obtained than can be got by
any individual farmer who manufact-
ures a more limited quantity. The
main drawback is the difficulty of put
ting all the skim-milk to a use which
proves profitable. 1t certainly would
be preferable if the cream could be
separated either in the natural way or
by a separator before itleaves the farm.
and the skim-milk retained to feed
calves and pigs. especially the former.

The British Dairy Farmers Associa-
ton are endeavoring to procure the
passage of a law governing the manu-
facture and sale of butterine. etc.. as
follows: 81. That all establishments
in the United Kingdom for the manu-
facture of fats intended for human con-
sumption, such as margarine. butterine,
or compounds in which are ingredients
not extracted from milk, shall be regis
tered. 2. That all such compounds
manufactured, imported or sold in the
United Kingdom, in whatever con-
tanned. shall be branded with q distinc-
tive Government mark by the officers Of
excise at small charge. and that the
offering for sale of any package not so
branded shall be punishable with .
heavy penalty.
