n THERMOMETER,
why 1t Should Always Accompany the
Winter Dairy.

why IL should Always Accompany the
Winter Dairy.
There IS n thing very important in
the winter dairy, which, perhaps, I
should have placed first, and that is
the food of the cows; for, without
something else than hay, you will not
make very fine butter Milk feed and
cornmeal are about the best for Weld
and quality, although there are many
other articles of food which will be
useful and contribute to the appetite
and health Of the cattle. The process
for the winter dairy is similar to that
OF the summer, with the exception of
the regulation as to the temperature
Of room, etc, which is follows: Par.
ticuiar care should be taken not to let
the milk get cold before placing it in
the dairy room, says an authority, for
should it be completely chilled, the
cream will not rise well. Add about a
gill OF warm water to the sour milk
for each pan, before s~training into it,
which viii greatly facilitate the rising
OF the cream. Keep the temperature
OF the room as near tifty-eight degrees
t~ahrenheitas possible and guardagainst
the air being dry by having a small
vessel of water upon the stove, or else
dry coat will form upon the surface
OF the cream. The cream should be
kept in a colder place than the dairy
room until the night before churning,
when it might be placed in the warm
room, SO that its temperature shall be
about fifty-eight degrees. The churu
may be prepared by scalding it, and
then reduced to the same temperature
as the cream by cold water, using the
thermometer as a test, This regula.
ion OF temperature is of the greatest
Importance; for, should it be too low,
you will be a long time churning and
have poor, tasteless butter; if too high.
the butter will be soft and white

An Old Orchard hotel man, who is

We're repeated and the money was

come in way behind the others. and

won a dollar easily. Imagine his sur

remarked, as he pocketed the stakes.
