Experiments at the New Hampshire
experiment station thus far indicate:
lat. The gluten meal tends to produce
a much softer quality of butter thsn corn
neal or coton--eed meal and, other things
being equal. tends to lessen the churp-
ability of the butter fat.
~. That with the same cows the hard
ness IL butter depends much more upon
the character ~ the food than upon the
nutritivc ratio.
III. That epsllagc produces some
what softer butter than does good hay,
hut n Il also favorable Ia the flavor aud
texture ~ the butter product.
lth. That skim-mllk has q very favor
able effect upon the churnablllty aud
quality ~ the butter fat, and In n single
trial apparently reversed the general rule
that the ,olstil fatty acid decrease a. the
period of lo,atlon advances.
sth. That co,ion-s~cd meal tend. Ia
produce an unusually hard quality of
butter, aud that cotton-sc~d meal and
gluten meal might L. used together
with exccllcut results.
9Th. That contrary to general belief
the melting point of butter fat V not q
good index of the commercial hardness
of butter. That while Ia general .ofi
butter melt. at q lower temperature than
a hard butter there !. no definite relation
between melting poln, and actual hard
ness.
