STREAkS IN BUTTER.

Improper Management Is to Blame for
Their Appearance. fyegy.
Two very prolific causes for streaky
cutter are found in improper manage
ment. If the butter comes soft, and is
collected into a mass, as it is very La
BILE to be land not in granular FORM if
the cream be churned at too high tenn
peratnre, the bnttermilk becomes in
corporated through the lump, aud it is
impossible to remove it by washing;
this will inevitably produce streaks
that no after working will remedy,
says Stuart's Agriculturist. Gaseous
and albuminous substances butter can
only be got rid of by thorough and
judicious washing. The time to do this
is when the granules are about the size
of grains Of wheat or less. When this
condition arrives the buttermill1 must
be drained off and washing of the but
ter should be continued until the water
comes off clear and uncolored by the
buttermilk. Twice is generally sutfi-
Gent. Again, streaky butter frequent
ly results from an irregular distribu-
ton of the salt and too hurried pack
ing after the salt is added. Butter
should lie ten or twelve hours after
slight working to distribute the salt
throughout the mass, then it shou Id be
reworked to expel the water produced
by the dissolving salt, and with this
will disappear the cause of the streaks
through butter. The process of work
ing, if by ladle, should be by pressure,
to squeeze out the water, and not by a
sliding action of the paddle, as this breaks
the grain" and damages the qnality. To
make good butter, the cream should be
carefully ripened and not IN ade too
sour Aslight acidity is the best. The
churning must be done at the right
temperature, and stopped as soon as
the butter forms into globules. Tenn
perature must be regulated according
to the season; in winter sixty-two to
sixty-five degrees is about right. while
in summer fifty eight to sixty-two is

Build One and You VIII Save Both Time
and Money.
Few farmers stop to consider the
loss in value of machinery, caused by
the implements being left out in the
big shed with leal1y roof, in which
most western farmers store their tools,
or the amount of time and expense re-
uuired each year to repair and put
them in order, to say nothing OF the
fret, worry and loss caused by the rot
ted and decayed portions giving out
lust when the machines are most need
ed: when their use is worth dollars an
hour and when the work ought not
stop minute. But it is just when this
strain is put upon them that they give
way. The only remedy is to so pro-
tect them that all parts will remain
strong, or to repair them in the sea-
son when they are not in use, Almost
everyone can recall the spending of
hours in 'tinkering" or repairing the
harvester, mower. hay rake, cultivator,
ETC., or taking them to have the neces.
sary repairs made. and waiting his
turn among others who have also neg
lected their TOOLS He can doubtless
remember in what haste he was to
have the repairing finished and to get
the machines to work again, for mot
only were the weeds growing or the
grain ripening, but the hands were idle
