MAKING FAMILY CHEESE


In making cheese by the dairymen at

with a heating arrangement under
meath, the milk can be heated in "A tin
heater set in a kettle, in which there is
a quantity of water. A dairy kettle is
the best, that is. a kettle and stove COM
bined. If you do not have this, you can
use a caldron kettle, set in an arch, if
there is draft enough so that it will not
smoke, rs the smoke would faint the
milk; then by filing the tin heater
with milk. and warming it up TO about
100 degrees Fair, and turning ii in the
vat and filing it up again ant heating

temperature of the milk in the vat is SO
degrees Fair, 1t could all be warmed.
Then add rennet extract, reduced with
one quart of cold water, at the rate of
three ounces TO 1000 pounds of milk.

evenly distributed through the whole
mass of milk, says George \. Smith.

When the curd is hard enough sc
that il will cleave from the side of the
vat when pressed away by laying the
back of the hand upon 1t, cut it, using
the perpendicular knife, and cut as even
as possible. Then stir it unit the whey
begins to separate quite freely. Then
dip off whey, and fill the tin heater. and
warm up to about 100 degrees Fair.
and turn in the vat. and continue to do
so, until the temperature is brought
to 9S degrees Fair, at which
point it should be kept until the curd
becomes firm, and when squeezed
up in the hand il will apart readily.
and by taking and squeezing the mois-
ture out of il, and touching il to n hot
iron ii will draw out fine threads about
one-half inch in length. Then draw on

BUTTER.
= Recent Export shipment sold Well
In England.

The secretary Of agriculture has re-
eeired complete reports from the third
experimental shipment Of butter to
London by his department. The ship
ment consisted of "A lot Of Minnesota
creamery butter in 5G-pound boxes ard
tubs. and a lot Of Massachusetts cream
cry butter in small tubs, family pack
ages, and fancy prints. The export was
made in June. 1t cost 2h cents "A pound
10 carry the butter from central Min
ncsota 10 London. by the single ton.
with the best refrigerator accommoda-
tions all the way. excepting short trans
fcrs. The transportation from western
Massachusetts cost rather more. be-
cause of the absence of a refrigerator
car line TO New York and the necessity
of paying eXpressage. This butter was
ali placed by the departments agent in
London in the hands Of retail dealers.
They paid from Is to 1917 cents per
pound for it, the same butter being then
worth Is cents in New York. The
wholesale price of Danish butter was
about 20 cents in London at that time.
IL was retailed to consumers at "a, 20
end 20 cents per pound-most of il AZ
20 cents. This vas the same as the re-
tail price of the best Danish. which
leads the London market for sailed but
ter. The retailers. upon being con
vinced of the high quality of the Ameri-
can butter, paid the same price for it
In tubs as in the favorite "Australian,"
or cubical box. Six different dealers
took the Minnesota butter. AT a uniform
price OF IS Is cents per pound. 1t cost
about 1G cents. delivered TO those Lon
den dealers. The Massachusetts but
ter was Of equal quality, and, although
some of it sold to dealers at 1917 cents.
The small packages were not liked by
the trade. This butter was worth 20
cents for local sale in the neighbour
hood where made. Thus. as in other
cases, the western creamery butter was
sold at "A fair profit, over two cents per
pound. while the New England creanl-
cry butter was sold in London al less
than il would have brought at home.
The London retailers margin for profit
-6h cents, and about seven cents on an
ayerage-was too great. The consumer
paid twice as much for the Minnesota
butter as the creamery in that state
received for it, and of what the butter
cost the consumer, the farmer who sup
piled the cream got less than two-fifths

MANAGING MILK COWS.
Treatment That Assures n stead,
Flow of Good Milk.

IlOW Oh SOOu MILK.
| wish to give you a few hints on
milking cows. The farm hand who
knows how to milk properly is more
valuable TO the careful dairyman than
any other help. To milk a COW requires
time and patience. The milk should
be drawn slowly and steadily. Some
COWS have very tender teats, and if
you want a good-disposed COW, be gen.
tie in your treatment toward her, as
she is s~.aturally impatient and does not
like rough handling. With constant
irritation she will fail in quantity of
milk. As the udder becomes filled
with milk she is anxious to he relieved
of its contents, and will seldom offer
resistance without a cause. When a
patient cow becomes fractions we can
always trace it to the milkmaid. Note
this: We should not allow them to
stand a long time waiting to be MIXED.
When COWS give n large quantity OF
milk it is very painful when the udders
have filled to the utmost, therefore
causing them 10 become very nervous
and restless. To delay milking at the
proper time will do more to cause a
COW TO go dry before her period than
anything else. She should also be
MIXED to the last drop, il possible, for
the last portion of milk is said to be
the richest. Still another point: There
are many ways of conducting a dairy.
Among them are: Wholesome food,
such as wheat bran, cottonseed meal.
Always be careful to keep the cows
well sailed, protected from bad
weather, kind handling. careful milk
ing. regular feeding. clean staoling,
good ventilation and plenty of pure
water. In some sections we have what
il called the bitter weed, which COWS
are fond Of, causing the milk 10 be-
come so much affected that it is hard
liz fit for use. | find that Dy giving the
COW about two ta~blespoonfuls OF sugar
ut each meal for two or three days en-
tirely relieves the milk of the bitter
taste.-G. b. Dillon, in Agricultural
Epitomist.

COMPLETE POTATO soRTEn,.

the dirt a chance to settle through be-
