nation of the skin of dried cream. The
straining of the cream into the churn
is also a good measure for keeping
speclSs of thickened cream or curd from
finding their way into the butter.
Occasionally butter-makers find the
butter full of strealks. That condition
may come from the retention of por-
tions of the buttermilk in the mass OF
the butter. The addition of quart
Of water for every two gallons of cream,
after the granules of butter begin To
appear and before the churning is COM
pleted, will helpto bring about speedy
and full separation of the buttermiIk.
When the buttermilk has been removed
the granular butter should be washed
with cold water. In summer the tenn
perature OF the water should be about
IS degrees and in winter about 60 de
grces. For the washing the churIl
should be rcvolved a half faster than
for the churning. Care should he
taken to prevent the granular butter
from settling on any sediment OF curdy
substance which may be left on the
sides or bottom of the churn after the
buttcr-washing water has been with
drawn.
A streaky condition of the butter
sometimes results from an imperfect
mixture of the salt with the butter.
Reworking after the salt is dissolved
will correct that. Fine-grained salt
only should be used. The presence OF
salt should be perceptible to the taste
bat not to the sense of touch.--N. y.
