Fresh Cows Needed.

The professional instructors in but
tarmaking have had a time of it in
explaining why a certain creamery is
troubled with the body of it's butter,
the commission firm saying that the
body is short and brittle and crumbles
badly in retailing. One says there is
too much water in it, one says it was
worked too cold, one questions If the
feed did not do the bad job. etc. It is
not easy for the creamery men to get to
the bottom facts in all cases, as they
do not know how the cows are handled.
A private dairyman finds that feed does
effect the hardness of the butter fats,
that warm water battle after washing
the butter will soften it so it will not
be 50 brittle, but the main reason for
hard fats and brittle body is the lack Of
fresh cows. When the shippers are
dried and fresh cows take their place
this trouble disappears. Stearine fats
predominant il Shippers milk as
truly as they do when cotton seed is
fed, and more warmth is required to
soften the hard fats in either case, but
the butter cannot be made quite so
good anyhow, as butter from fresh
cows milk.-Rural Life.
