Sweet and Sour Cream.

| sweet ana sour cream.
In letter from a correspondent he asks,
| first, does sour cream make more butter than
| sweet cream Does sour cream make better
| butter than sweet cream? In answer TO the
first question We would say thatIit is gener-
| ally supposed that sour cream makes the
most butter, but it wound puzzle anybody to
| tell why Certainly souring does not add to
| the richness Of tie cream. The answer to the
| second question depends upon the taste of the
consumer We like butter made from sour
cream the best, but others do not One of
| our best dairy writers rather favors sweet
cream butter. He says that it needs no
proof when it is said that acidity is one Of
the processes of decay, though decay is not
necessarily immediate, and that sOuring can
not create better favor than the natural
one, though the consumer by habit NAV have
come to acquire the preference for an arti
fetal flavor in butter, just as one often pre-
fers fruit picked to give it a smart, acrd
taste or flavor
The great difficulty in succeeding with
sweet cream butter will, as a rule, be found
in imperfect ChurnIEg, resulting from Churn-
ing at the same temperature used with sour
cream, u to make the one come on as
soon Us the other. This high temperature
curdleS the Caseime and causes it to adhere to
the butter, instead of being made independent
of 1t. The butter thus charged with CaScine
gives 1t light color, prevents soidity and
does not give sufficient time in churning to
bring the small butter glObules into adhesion
with the larger ones, and they 90 or in the
buttermjlk making a double loss. for the but
ter Is weighed down with undesirable c;lsene
and the buttermilk is rich in butter globulcs.
If churned at 50 degs. it would have taken IL
longer time, it is true, to bring the butter.
but natural adhesion would have united the
butter glObuleS. and the lower temperature
would have held the uniting of the cascine
and fats in check, and a perfect separation
without loss would have resulted
Another serious defect ia the usual course
pursued with sweet cream is to mingle creams
of different ages or skimmngs under the i'm
preston that they are all unchanged, but
when together each will have its own period of
granulatun. and to churn all alike oyerchurns

must result. When the amount of cream at
