THE DAIRY.
Washing Butter.


Butter was formerly gathered into d
soild mass in the the churn and then
taken out and worked with paddle un-
I'll all the buttermilk was supposed to be
expelled, after which it was immediately
sailed. But now the better practice is
TO stop the churning as soon as the
butter has reached its granular state,
that is, in small granules about the size
of grains of wheat. The buttermilk is
then drawn off, and after sprinkling the
butter we'll with salt, barely enough
cold water is added to float the butter
granules, when, after few oscillations
of the churn, the added .ter is also
drawn off and its place supplied with
other cold water to undergo similar
treatment. The reason for applying the
salt in the first instance is that salt
coagulates the albumen still clinging to
termilk, and thus renders it soluble in
water. and as the water is drawn off the
albumen, being dissolved, comes with it,
This kind of washing should be re-
peated until the water comes away as
clear as crystal. Some have argued
against washing butter at all on the
ground, as they contend, that it takes
away the flavor. But this is mistake.
1t is the retention of a portion of the
buttermilk that does the damage, caus-
ing decomposition, as it does and con-
sequently destruction of the flavor. It
stands to reason, therefore, that the
more effectually the buttermilk can be
removed the less danger of the loss of
flavor. Not only so, but there is not one
buttermaker in ten who can work out
the buttermilk etfctually without seri-
ously injuring the grain of the butter.
it is for this reason that the best butter
makers of the present dav aim to work
their butter as little as possible. They
want the grain of the butter preserved
in all its integrity, and this can only be
done by etfectual washing, To accom-
plish this, therefore, the churning
should stop the moment these little
segregated masses or granules make
their appearance, when the buttermilk
should be drawn off, and after the APP
plication of salt for the purpose of
coagulating whatever albumen may still
remain in the churn, cold water applied
as above directed. Butter treated i'll
this way will require but very little
working-barely enough to gather it in
form and distribute the necessary salt
evenly through the mass-and its keep
ing qualities be much improved.

been blessed with no children. nor have
fectly formed and lively. bright babies. but
two OF them died within a week. the other
two living respectively six and five months.
Had not the family been in destitute circum-
stances at the time. and had not the infants
thereby suffered from the lack Of immediate
attention and of subsequent care, they
would doubtless have lived. The parents
had but Just arrived in this country, and
had settled in remote spot. where aid did

the family, boy. was born whom Mrs.
Neher was flftyone years of age. The

THE STOCK-RANCH.
Wedding Out the Calf Crop.


The first four weeks of Calls life
will determine whether it can be grown
into profitable beef animal or not. If
the calf at the above age shows that it is
capable of making thrifty growth, with
we'll developed back and quarters, it is
very likely to maintain that tendency
through life and will make profitable
beef animal unless badly managed. On
the other hand if calf at four weeks
old does not show growth with we'll de-
veloped beef points no amount of food
and care are likely to make anything but
scrub animal out of it. In these days
of low prices no farmer can afford to de-
velop scrub steer. Every pound of
food they eat is so much wealth de-
stroyed, therefore as matter of econ
omy the calf crop ought to be weeded
out. This can be done probably by
turning the calf with its dam for a
couple of weeks. 1t will then make o
tolerable veal which will bring from
four to six dollars. That is nearer a
profit out of bad calf than can be got
ten any other way. If it is announcement
to turn the calf with the COW he can be
knocked in the head, bled, and the
hide, if properly taken of, will pay the
service fee of good bull which Is IN
surance against next year SCRUB.
Whatever method may be adopted Tor
disposing of the unthrifty calf be sure
to get rid of him in some way before ne
knocks the profit out Of the entire year

The English and Scotch practice of
smearing sheep in preparation for the
storms of winter, says the Times, has
some value which presents it for favor
American shepherds. The wool is
thoroughly saturated with cheap grease;
usually the ancient and odiferous but
ter which is rejected by the inspectors,
and is stirred by them with tarry stick
SO as to prevent its fraudulent sale for
ordinary consumption, is used for this
purpose. The effect is to cause the
fleece toshed rain as do ducks feathers,
which owe this property to their oili-
ness. The sheep is thus spared the in
furious effect Of soaking with ice
cold water, which chills the lions and
injuriously effects the nervous system,
cost is triaing and is more than repaid
by the better quality of the wool, and
there is abundance Of the greasy material
produced-sad to say-by the many
neglectful dairymen who make butter
that is fit for only this purpose.
