Here are some Of the questions and an
swers given at a dairy institute held in
McDonough. y. y:
DO you allow tobacco smoking where
you are making butter: No; never.
How can we best sell our butter; Di-
rocuy to consumers. First sell to your
friends, and use them as aids to secure
other customers, In this way we may
save the commissions and profits of the
handlers.
VIII cream rise quicker at any time
by making the milk thinner? Yes;
cream will always rise quicker by thin
ming tho milk The smaller the volume
of milk the sooner the cream will rise.
This fact teaches us not to have the milk
too deep in the pals or cans
Should sour buttermilk be put into
sweet cream? No; do not do that, If
You do you will be likely to impart
bdtternllk taste to your cream and in
jure the flavor Of your butter.
VIII butter keep better under brine
than salt; Butter should b. packed solid
ana the air excluded. This can DO done
well with salt and a cloth at the bottom
and the top-trst salt, then Il cloth, then
a layer pl salt paste ON top of all. Some
say tAa0 TO stbmerge with brins, is best.
