cold has been so severe that they could

penniless and suffering.

VALUABLE RECEIPT.

How to Treat the Cnrdling of Milk in the
Udder of Cow.
Exchange: The curdling of milk in a
cows udder indicates inflammation of that
organ, and this may be due to over
feeding. Give a pint of raw linseed Oil
and feed bran mash, and be careful to
get all the milk out of the udder If
there is difficulty in doing this, inject in
to the teats some solution of carbonate
of soda, and milk it out after fifteen
minutes The soda will dissolve the
curd and thus make its removal easy.

Ma king Butter on the Farm.

For making good butter on a farm
great deal more than is commonly
supposed depends on having COWS that
give rich milk. The difference between
rich and poor milk not only appears in
the quantity of cream raised but also
In the quality and appearance of the
butter. There are many good native
COWS and great many poor ones When
find that one Of our COWS gives poor,
thin milk, want her sold for beef, for
don't want to try to make butter from
such COWS. Cows with the Jersey blood
are the most profitable for butter, and
make butter of the best quality and col
or. They do not give as large a quaint
ity AS some Of the other Breeds but
they make up for it in a richer quality.
In setting the milk l use four-quart
pans and fill them about three quarters
full My milk-room is a clean, sweet,
dry celler, and I skim as soon as the
cream has all raised, mix the different
skimmings thoroughly and churn just
as the cream has become little sour.
1 use the Old-fashioned dash churn, fill
about half full and churn regularly and
not fast and then slow. The COWS are
given a little salt every other day, and
this 1 think quite important, for when
it is neglected for several days the but
ter will be slow in coming. I work the
butter slowly until l get out most Of
the buttermilk, then salt it and let it
stand over night, then work it over
again and pour off the milky brine. With
good cows and a clean, cool milk room,
there need be no difficulty in making
good butter On any farm by any one
who will attend to it properly.
