Milk and Rad doors.

Nearly every one who has ever had
anything to do with milk. and its manu-
facture, knows the readiness with
which at every stage it takes up odors,
and particularly disagreeable and in
furious ones. From the ragWeed and
wild onion in the pasture where the
milk begins TO be made, down to the
musty walls of an ice box that has
seen its best days, in which butter IS
sometimes put, odOrS ii they have an
opportunity, will enter and injure the
product. And yet a great many peo-
pie act as though they did not know
this. A creamery man writes in an eX-
change that a pail of buttermilk was
spilled in front of his dairy room. The
weather was warm, rains were ire
quent, and it was observed that from
the time the buttermilk was spilled
there was trouble With the butter. 1t
continued until the place where the
milk had been spilled and the dairy
room as well had received q thorough
cleaning and Il steam bath from 4 jet.
Another mentions the patron of q
creamery who had sold hogs. In order
! to save time he loaded up the hogs III
/ the rear Of his wagon i'll crate and
set the milk cans that he was to de-
liver at the creamery i'll the front OF
the wagon. There was some little de-
lay in receiving the hogs, and they and
/ the cans kept company in this way for
a couple of hours. When the milk
came to be delivered at the creamery
!? it was unfit to be received. Enough is
/ as good as a feast, and a few examples
ought to impress on every one the les
son that no hurtful odor should be per-
mitted the opportunity to enter the
milk or it's product at any stage.

About Cattle.

| The following from the North Ameri-
| literature, is of 50 much interest, we
give it a place here:
1T is easy to see that cattle are at
! home in a moist and wooded country.
The Feral cattle of Texas and Austria
| liza never from choice stray far away
| from the woods. Out on the Western
ranches there are, of course, few trees,
| and the beasts thrive fairly we'll: but,
/ for all that the conditions of their life
are artificial, and not such as they
would select if free to choose their own
! dwelling place. All cattle love to stand
/ knee-deep in water under the shadow
! of trees. Their heads are carried low,
/ even when they are startled, so that
! they can see under the Spreading
/ branches of the forest. Compare the
/ habitual position of the head OF cow
/ with that of the heads of the horse,
/ Drong-h horn or guanacO, which live in
| the open, and have to watch the hOri-
zon for the approach OF enemies. Then
the split hoofs of the cattle are wonder
| fully adapted for progress over soft
! ground In gallOping over Dogs or deep
! mud, an OK or buffalo will easily dis
/ lance a swift horse Their toes spread
wide, and so they do not sink 50 far
as the solid-hoofed animal. What is
/ even more important, the open cleft
/ between the toes allows the air to en-
i ter the hole in the mud as the foot is
withdrawn, whereas a horses hoof
/ sticks like sucker" owing to the par
/ tial vacuum below it and can only be
dragged out by Il great muscular ef-
/ fort. Mounted hunters have been over
1 taken and killed by buffalo-African
and Indian-owing to this fact

CLEARLY DAIRYING.
Appearances Count for Much in the
Dairy Business

Appearances Count for Much in the
Dairy Business
While III town the other day saw
sign on milk wagon reading Clear
Creek Dairy and visions of limpld
stream meanderiEg through. sweet
pastures arose at once to my mind.
At the first opportunity paid Wis
it to the farm, and came near going by
it for an abandoned place." every
thing had such a rundown appearance
The beautiful stream of my imagina-
ton might have been beautiful and
clear if the rubbish, including cast-off
boots and shoes, old sections of stove
pipe and general debris had been
cleared out of it. 'Clear Creek Dairy"
indeed! What misnomer! There
was the COW stable on the banks of
the stream, also, the drainage from
which polluted the water, besides car
rying away the fertility of the com
post.
This may be an extreme case, and l
hope it is but. it set me thinking how
often enticing names in the dairy are
misleading. Clear Creek Glover
Leaf and ''Sweet Meadow dairics
should be something like waht their
titles imply. | have noticed that
many of the dairieS with the most eu-
phoniOuS names furnished their GUS
toners with only second-class milk.
Appearances count for so much in the
dairy that to even the Inexperienced
eye they are generally a pretty good
guide to quality
Have your dairy premises neat-look-
ing if you wish your milk and butter
to be considered neat, also. Never
make a stream of water on your farm
the receptacle for refuse. 1t is a filthy
custom that is objectionable. No one
can be good dairyman unless he is
first a good farmer. The latter per-
Sonage makes the conditions possible
for profitable dairying.
| know of nothing more perniciouS
than the habit of dragging dead ami
mails out to distant parts of the farm
and leaving them there unburied A
careless, Indifferent dairyman and
farmer almost invariably does this
way. 1t is often accountable for his
having tainted milk all summer.
In passing through a COW pasture
recently, / counted three or four car
cases that two hours work would have
buried beyond sight and smell. 1t
seems Willful neglect for dairymen in
this age of dairy intelligence, to toler-
ate such things, and l think they mer-
it the most severe cenSure.
1t is very easy in summer to keep
things sweet and clean about the dali
ry, If one only has the will 1t is SIM
ply matter of choice, nothing more

usinu tine senarator.

In running a separator do not have
the milk needlessly warm. Mr.. Wag-
ener, instructor in butter making at
Cornell university, teaches that 80 de-
degrees is better than a higher temper
allure. He believes that probably the
most important point in running sep
aratOr is the thickness of the cream,
and says: Adjust your separator SO
tnat your cream will be as thick as you
can churn BY this | mean as thick as
can be and yet fall from end to end OF
a revolving churn and not stick to the
sides when churning. Such cream will
generally contain 35 to 45 per cent of
fat. / consider this a very important
point. Cream containing 40 per cent of
fat will churn more quickly and leave
less fat in the buttermilk at 80 degrees
than will cream containing Is to 20 per
cent at so degrees. Th. secret of quick
churning at the very low temperature
So to So degrees, which we know to be
the best-is to have your cream very
rich. This issan advantage you cannot
secure from cold settings, it being diff
cult to obtain cream of this class with
much over Is to 20 per cent of fat. Ihe
second point of great Importance is to
cool the cream at once to a low tenn
perature-at least 55 degrees and hold
it there for few hours before warm
ing up to ripen. Whenever, in sum-
mer time, we are troubled with cream
that coagulates before it gets much
acid. or with different churnings, which
some of us have, / feel sure that chill
ing the cream directly from the separa-
tor will help greatly. We shall get bet
ter grain better flavor and more salts
factory results in every way | be
fieve that this matter of careless hand
ling of cream after it is separated is
the rock upon which many butter
makers split.

white Caps on Butter

White caps in butter are caused,
first, if set in shallow pans, by the air
That blows on the milk; second by be-
ing ovel-ripe. The cheesy matter of
the cream is retained i'll the butter.
Streaked butter is due largely to salt
not being evenly distributed through
the mass To avoid this, have the
milk where the wind will not blow Oh
it. Stop the churning when the butter
is in a fine granular state, and float
the butter in brine. The crude specks
are heavier than the butter and will
sink to the bottom, where they are
drawn off in the brine: the butter will
float on top.-EX-Gov. W. d. Hoard,
Jefferson County, Wisconsin.

Dairy Notes.

Strain the milk as soon as it is
drawn.
When we reflect that large proper
ton of milk is made up of water. we
see the Importance of furnishing the
COWS pure water.
II. S. Matteson says: 81 90 not be
lieve that a cow milks any easier for
having her teats wet. any more than |
believe a man can lift more when he
spits on his hands"
What man has done man can do.
Many dairies have succeeded in get
ting their dairies up to an average of
300 pounds of butter per cow per year.
All should strive for it.
1t is said that the color on the inside
of the ear is an infallible guide to the
selection of a good butter COW. IL the
skin on the inside of the ear is OF 4
rich yellow color the cew is sure to
give good quantity q milk that is
rich in butter.

Rntter Milking.

Where butter making is followed,
winter dairying pays the best. The
farmer at that season has more leisure
time from other work, and can give his
whole attention to the dairy, and cows
coming fresh in the fall do better than
when giving milk through the hot
months of July and August. when they
are hot and worried with flies. Winter
butter is also more easily handled and
brings a higher price, says a writer IN
Practical Farmer. Perfect cleanliness
must be observed in all things relating
to the dairy and utensils, and every
(. thing cleaned, scalded and aired imme-
Idiately after using. In making butter,
deep-setting creamer or separator IS
needed. a butter worker and ther-
mometer. Milk should be set in a tenn
perature of 43 degrees. and will be
ready to skim in twelve hours. Keep
cream as cool as possible after It IS
drawn off, stirring to the bottom OF the
can every time fresh cream is added.
The River Falls times. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1894-1933, 1896-11-03

When sufficient cream has been saved
Tor churning, and has set in tempera-
ture Of from 60 degrees to 60
degrees, scald the churn with
boiling water, and cool down with
fresh water before putting in the
cream. and churn with steady, even
motion; not too fast, until the butter
comes in a graduated form, about the
size of wheat grains. These grains
should not be allowed to adhere until
the butter is we'll washed To do this,
after drawing off the butter milk, pour
enough ice-cold water over butter to
cover it, drawing off and adding more
until it runs off clear. The butter will
then be just right for working in this
state in the summer, but in winter,
add the water at 81 degrees, and let it
stand a few minutes before taking out
on butter worker. Use the best salt,
from half an ounce to one ounce per
pound, according to taste. Use the but
of being worked too much.
