Churning the butter at too high q
temperature will make the butter too
soft and unpleasant to handle; it won't
print nicely, neither will it pack solid
". i
And if it is gathered in the churn
you will have hard work to get the
buttermilk out OF it..
When churned too cold the butter
may not only be long time coming
but may remain in very small grains
and refuse to gather; then you must
put some mot too hot) water in the
