profits of the handlers.
"Will it not take a good deal O
lukewarm water to warm milk OF
eream?" Yes. Have the water al
llO0 and then it will not take sc
much. Stir the milk and cream
while the water is being poured in,
"Will cream rise quicker at any
time to thin the milk?n Yes, cream
will always rise quicker by thinning
the milk. The smaller the volume
of milk the sooner it will rise. This
fact teaches us not to have the milk
too deep in the pals or cans.
SHOULD sour buttermilk be put in.
to sweet cream?n Do not do that.
Ifyou do, you will be likely to inn
part a buttermilk taste to your
cream and iniure the flavor of the
butter.
"Will it pay to feed cows grain in
the fall at 500 per ton, with butter at
Is 5cents?" Yes, if the grain ration
is properly balanced. There will be
these gains: More milk and butter
at the time, more manure of fertil-
ity all the time, and the milk flow
will be kept up stronger and longer.
This may be called a prospective
gain.
"Will butter keep better under
brine than salt?n Butter should be
packed solid and the air excluded.
This can be done we'll with salt and
a cloth at the bottom and the top.
First salt, then cloth, then a layer
of salt paste on top of all. Some say
that to submerge with brine is best.
"If the tin is off from ware used
to store butter, will it injure the but
ter?" Certainly it will. The salt
will cause oxidization, and this will
and injure the butter. Bac-
terra and filth will adhere to the
rusty iron.
"Would it be policy for a man
with a small dairy to churn every
day ?" Yes, ifhe has cream enough.
cream after it is ready to
churn will injure the product.
1--WE churned half day yesterday
before we could get any butter.
What was the trouble?" What
was the temperature? Answer
$40. Were all the other conditions
right? "Yes, as far as we know"
Try $50. 1.-THE questioner reported
next day that he did so, and the
butter came in twenty minutes.
ave put our cream at GSo, and |
,hurned two hours this morning
with no signs Of butter" Where
did you churn? "In the cellar"
Was the cellar cold2 ayes, it was
early in the morning" Next time
raise the temperature up to 70o, or
put it at GO and churn in warmer
place. The cold air of the cellar
cooled the churn and cream rapidly,
md made it too cold for the butter
ylobules to adhere. When cream is
at such high temperature
he buttermlk should partially be
lrawn off, and the butter cooled
md washed with brine not above
i0o. When washed, the butter
hould be as cool as 590, and not
Ibove 600.
One churning at the school not

"Will butter keep better in earth

iany, however, prefer oaken tubs.
"Can the white specks be gotten

trainer will not remove them.
