Seasonable Suggestions Concerning I'll
Trcat ment of Cows.

Seasonabie Suggestions Concerning tho
Treatment of Cows.
After you have cream at proper tenn
perature for churning, it is expedicnt
that you chill the interior of the churn
by rinse of cold water. DO this i'm
mediately prior to placing the cream in
the churn. With the ordinary facilities
about the average farm it is quite fine
thing to always make the butter come
hard and firm during hot weather. The
observance of n small matter like the
one mentioned will aid most materially
in maintaining uniform gil,-cdyed
butterquallty.
Cows often produce badly tainted milk
caused by drinking stagnant water or
eating poisonous vegetation. 1t should
be seen to that during this dry time the
water facilities Of the pastures are kept
wholesome and adequate for the needs
of the stock. Running the cows from
pasture is the incentive for another
species of tactical faint which develops
principally after the milk has been
withdrawn from the udder. Anything
that is unnatural or inhuman about the
care and treatment of dairy cows is sure
to directly or indirectly damage the
milk yielded by them. Some claim that
salt is not necessary for the physical
welfare Of dairy stock, but our ex-
pcrience has always been the reverse.
Salt your cows regularly, or better yet,
keep salt by them and they will yield
more and better milk and your cream
will come" into butter freely and
quickly.
1t has been time and again demon
strated that washing the milk from
butter when in a granular state does
not injure its grain or detract from its
flavor. There is yet to be shown one
good reason for working the butter
milk from the butter with aladle. 1t is
like throwing eggs into q basket, as
you would potatoes. to send to marke:
In both cases an omelct is produced
Now is the time to test the quality OF
milk Of your individual cows, to estab-
lish the per cent OF the butter fat
yielded. If You feel that you can NO.
afford to buy tester for your own u,s
wholly, interest your dairy neighbors,
and club together for the purchase.
Your aim should be to work up to the
possession of dairy showing by prac.
teal tester five per ceat. Of butter fat
yielded. That is, the use of the tester
will open your eyes SO that you can
weed out from your dairy the three and
four per cent. cows, that keep the gen
cral average SO low.
No matter where you milk your cows
in hot weather, in the stable or barn
yard: but be sure that the surrounding
atmosphere is not tainted by any often
sive odor. The poison of bad air is
indelibly photographed upon the quality
of any milk within its reach.
In washing milk utensils in the dairy
the use of sal-sola should be considered
almost Indispensable. 1t will cleanse
the spores and bacteria from sea ms and
cracks. Its use should b. followed by
thorough after-scalding.- George L.
Newell, in Prairie Farmer.

Ready IfetOrtS.

Even ministers venture with the
ready retort. 1t is told of that distin-
guished English clergyman. Rev. Rob-
ert Hall, that, disguised with the ego
tism and self-complacency of a preacher
who challenged his admiration of a SER
mon he remarked:
Yes, there was one very fine passage
of your discourse, SIR"
II am rejoiced to hear you say so.
What was it,"
why, sir, it was the passage from
the pulpit to the vestry."
Another parson said to his doing
congregation:
'If you can't keep awake take pinch
of snuff when you feel drowsy."
II think" was the shrewd reply of
one. that the snuff should be put in
the sermon. detroit Free Press

Acids In Cream.

Milk contains sugar, which is able to
convert itself, without the aid of oxygen,
into Tactic acid. Mere contact with
cascin, or any animal membrane Ia
piece of bladder, or the lining membrane
of the milk ducts, for instance), serves
to produce this change, which is not
accompanied by the presence of air or
by the production of any gas. A high
temperature facilitates this change, as
does also the presence of any fermenta
tive germs Now, this Tactic acid is
convertible itself into butyric acid, and
this conversion often takes place in the
cream jar, from which at times there
escapes a very sensible odor of this acid.
Cream kept one week at a temperature
varying from seventy to seventy-fve
degrees, has had u distinctly rancid
odor and flavor, and the butter churned
from it was actually rancid. And when
cream is churncd in warm weather,
when acidity has advanced too far, bu-
lyric acid is formed in the churn by a
change of the Tactic acid, in which car
bonic acid and hydrogen gases are
evolved and some water is produced. The
casein is the active agent of this change,
and this substance is able to, and does,
exert this effect, as well as the produc-
ton of the Tactic acid from the sugar

The greatest trouble in the dairy in
the summer is the development in the
butter of Il strong repulsivc odor,
which, as it becomes more intense, is
accompanied by a sharp and disagree
able flavor. This flavor in time becomes
rancidity. What is the cause Of this Pc
culiarity in the butter? 1t is the very
evil spirit of the dairy, the one great
damage to product, for if it could be
prevented we should at once get rid of
the only trouble which distresses and
dismays the patient hard working dairy
man or dairywoman, who loses heart
when after all the greatest carefulness
the butter is found to have this unpar-
donabl0 fault. In u word, this peculiar
odor is due to the decomposition of a
portion of the fats of the butter. And
this odor is really the effect of the par
tial change of the fats to volatile acid
that is produced most frequently in no
other way than by the u.:tion, or re-
action, of the Tactic acid in the cream,
by the excessive acidity in fat: and this,
too, by an inherent quality OF the milk
and not by any action of Oxygen at all.
