ton of one ounce OF salt per pound of
butter is giving the cow credit for .
greater yield than she deserves. When
butter is taken from the churn in q
granular state it is full Of water no mat
ter how we'll drained it may be. and II
then weighed and the Gov credited with
that weight as butter. it is dishonest;
the butter should be first worked ready
for market and then the correct weight
may be found. II the Lutter is to be
dry-salted before weighing, then il one
ounce of salt per pound OF butter is
evenly mixed through the granules. al

commercially dry, it will contain almost
exactly the same amount of salt per

A Canadian dairyman describes plan
by which he gives his calves fresh new
milk, and yet manages to have a good
supply of butter from his milk. The
idea is simple enough, and we'll worth
consideration. The plan adopted is as
follows: At milking time two large YES
soils are put outside the barn door, one
marked dairy" and the other calves"
One-half Of the milk given by each cow,
viz, that first drawn. Is put into the
vessel marked calves and the other
half. viz, that last drawn Is put into the
vessel marked dairy" This latter
half is found, on being tested. to con-
tain from two-thirds to three-fonrths OF
the cream. The calves nave the advan-
tage Of being fed with milk warm from
the COW; at the sans time they are
reared at moderate cost, as their AL
lowance of the milk does not contain
