Churns ana Churning.

Chur1iing Is process that. almost moro
than any other IN butter making, depends
for being we'll done on the implement used
Points Of merit in cburn are; First.
The agitation should DO Of such u char
acter that tho cream Is churned by con
cussion rather than friction. Ono would
suppose that tho fat globule. protected
for the timo being in liquid, would stand
agitation OF any sort; but when we re-
member that one churn will bring tho
butter In fvo minutes. which would not
come In thirty minutes In another churn,
we can conceive Of II being possible TO
over agitate cream in churning. What
ever may be tho effect at the beginning Of
churning, II Is without question that when
cream begins to "break" and butter to
form" tho character Of tho agitation
may be such "a to lnjuro the grain of tho
butter. II Ii tho experience Of butter
makers that some churus destroy the grain
and mako tho butter greasy Another
question is settled. 1t Is not the slow
churns which injure the grain of butter,
| but tho quick churns. Tho slow churns
are the churns without inside fixtures;
tho quick churns arc the churns with
| dnshers
Second. a churn should givo It's con.
tents uniform agitation. The cream should
DO churned all alike and tho butter como
as near as possible mt the same time
This Is important for quantity as well rs
quality Of butter When all the cream is
agitated alike, moro of the cream is
churnod without some of it being over
churned. When butter all cones at tho
samo time there Ia less waste OF butter IN
buttormilk In draining or washing Tho
churn which meets this condition, Is, In
the opinion Of many, u churn without
dashers.
Ease OF working is worry important es
sential in a churn. was the hard work
Of churning that brought into favor the
quick churns that have spoiled so mucl
butter. The movable body churns nrC
