 The rrain in butter that k now de- mandcd by the best-paying consumer, is not a pecaliarity that can be fed into or bread into COW. It is simply skill on the part of the mal1c.' of the butter in so churning as to free the butter from the buttormilk :. ld incorporating the salt without bre 3lg the natural globules of fat. This is easily ac- complishcd by chilling the butter, just as the butterrnilk appears, by adding couple of gallons of water, cold enough to reduce the temperature of the con tents of the churn tifty-five degrees, OF little below. and so working of the after product that these globules are not broken or nattened. but simply pressed together sufficiently to expel the water and give the butter a solid texture. Then when the butter "sets" it is easily broken of, leaving a ragged rupture, and when oue succeeds in do- ing this. which is no great effort, the superiority of the granular butter will be accepted by the maker and often followed. Granular butter is simply just butter with twelve per cent. of moisture instead of twenty per cent. of an admixture of water, salt, cheese, sugar, albumen, etc. The cold water carries out these substances, with the excess of salt and tells why people like granular butter.
 Next to good COW is good place to manufacture her product, and es- peeially is this so in any of the appli- ances in associated dairying. When the factory is new and clean it is a source of pride, but neglect in sanitary precautions soon brings it under the pale of criticism. No reason exists why an "old" factory should not be kept clean and free from stench and rottenness. Cheap tiles and cheap cement make n perfect floor. Drain tiles make perfect conduit for all kinds of slop, and which can be car ried far beyond any damaging influence upon milk or cream. The day should be over for building creameries or fac tories upon stilts, so that the space be- meath the floors can become a deposi- tory for all kinds of rotten dairy ref use. Hot water and land plaster sprinkled about the presses, etc, after q cleanup will be d great promoter of afr pi, Y, last number of Hodrds Dairy- man says that ''the rotten slouchiness of patrons with cans, filthy cheese-makers and rotten rennet skins should go as an object lesson that the owners are becoming wide awake and progressive, and not fall with all their sins into the hands of-the sanitary when the dairy creameries and health boards of the State will, in the interest of pure, clean dairy produce, raid these old and untidy factories. aud then they will be legally cleaned up or out. This is why" this hint is thrown out. Of n truth all the conditions of the dairy ing can not be fully compiled with, but the steady purpose to realize them should never be abandoned. The dairy herd can be improved, for such things have been consistently sought by some and realized It is not greater thing to do than the improvement in sheep brought about by the breeders within the past few years. Dairy stock can not be improved if a mixing of all breeds is carelessly permitted to go on. It must be realized by the line breed ing, the matter of superior qualities, superior in the dairy line, not all the qualities of the different types of cat tie NdtioAdi Stockmd4.
