salt ~ u PreaervAtIva.

There are certain writer's who tell us
that the way to keep cream from be-
coming sour and making butter that
has too strong an aroma is to put salt
in the cream and thus prevent its fer
mentation. We have never tried this
sailing process. but think it looks like
reason, in that salt stops decay. or
rather arrests it, and that is only au-
other name for sourinS cream in the
opinion of some writer's. The cos: of
salt, at least the ounce to the gallon of
cream necessary to keep it sweet, is not
expensive, and probably would be re-
paid in the price of the butter received
far beyond this salt cost In other
words anything that will preserve
freshness and sweetness in the cream
in order to preserve the same quality in
the butter is the object to have in view
if profit is desired. If you have ice to
keep the cream cold and fresh, that il
good enough, but aside from that, then
you must use the next best thing YOU
have. and that is salt, in preference to
any other kind Of preservative article.

HIGH-PRICEO FEED.

Hcmo Grown cations the Best for Profit.
The high price of COW feed has been a
serious drawback to the dairy interest
Those who had no soiling crops to feed
during the late drouth and had to buy
mill-feed, have not made much money,
because dairy products have not been as
high in proportion as feed. The lesson
to be learned is, to grow all of our COW
feed, or as near all as our circumstances
will admit of. know that the scien-
lists tell us that our COW rations must
be ''balanced." and l also know very
well that too much balancing of rations,
by buying high-priced feed, will de-
cidedly unbalance the profits of dairy
ing. The long and short of scientific
feeding is just this: If you have home
grown feed that is out of balance and
bought feed will cost more than what
you have, and the gain in feeding the
bought feed will not make mp the diff
ference in prices, then feed what you
have, and you will be feeding "scien-
tific' ration, for science means knowl-
edge, and if you can make more money
by feeding your homegrown rations
than you Can by buying stuff to balance
it, then you are feeding scientifically,
for you are feeding in the line of the
best profit Farm and Fireside.
Bitter Cream.
On the cause and cure of bitterness in
cream and butter the New York State
dairy commissioner has the following
! to say in the report for 1890: When
milk and cream are held too long, al
though it may be in a cold temperature
in which the ordinary aeidity may not
be- developed, bitter taste is often de-
veloped which is impaired to butter
and destroys its value 1t is the opinion
of our experts that this bitterness is
another form of putrefactive ferment,
which is peculiar to cold temperature,
not active or marked as the acidulous
ferment, but more insidious and sure
to manifest itself more or less rankly
according to the conditions. The rem
edy is never to hold the milk for the
cream to rise not longer than twenty
four hours. Under specially favorable
conditions and surroundings the time
may, possibly, be extended. 1t is not,
however, a safe rule to insure sweet
and good" butter; the earlier churnin2
and skimming are recommended If the
conditions for butter-making will not
admit of these rules being applied, the
conditions should be made to conform
to them. No dairyman can afford to
deliberately make poor butter:-Cole-
