it is difficult TO get the buttermilk from
the butter. We would recommend
adding in winter about 10 per cent. of
water at churning temperature, when
the butter breaks, and the remaining
Is per cent. Of colder water after the
granules are full size. After this re-
vOlve Che churn few times to mix the
water with the milk, and then draw off
the buttermilk and water.
"As a result Of the seasons expert
ments on this point, we would recon-
mend little or no washing where the
butter is made into pound prints for
customers who like highly favored
butter, and who will consume 1t In
from eight to ten days after It is made.
While we have found the unwaahed
butter to keep fully as well as the
washed in some cases, yet the general
results indicate that the former has
not quite so good keeping quality as
the washed butter. For packing In
tubs butter may be washed once or
twice, but we feel satisfied that many
makers are spelling the flavor of their
butter by too much washing.
"Three prints of butter were exam

the dairy, and the prints Of unwashed
would score three or four points higher
in favor than the others which were

Extending Our Butter Trade.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson has
been inquiring into the subject of for
elgn markets for American products,
and one conclusion he reached is that
the butter trade should be extended.
In an interview he says the United
States last year made more good butter
than the home demand required,
Shipments abroad" he said, twill be
made In the future, and it Is necessary
to ascertain tor our people what the
worlds market wants, and when we
speak Of the worlds market we mean
the English market. The English
bought $65,OOO,0OO worth of butter last
year; the United States supplide per-
hsps per cent. of 1t, or a little over
100000 worth. Denmark supplied
over 1928, 100000 worth. The United
States furnishes the cow feed to the
Europeans who make the butter for
British consumption. To this end it
Is proposed that information be OBJ
tained for the American butter.makers
by purchasing FIRST class creamery bnt-
ter In different localities of the United
States, having the butter put up In diff
ferent kinds of packages, the Tegula-
tion sixty. pound tub, the Australian
foot. square box, sealed tin cans, etc.
The agents of the department will see
to the transfer from the refrigerator
cars to the refrigerator steamboats, In
New York, and ascertain whether
provision is made there for the proper
care OF the butter while crossing the
Atlantic. If not, the Department Of
Agriculture will have boxes made to
protect the butter In transit from bad
Od0rs that might come from meat,
fruit, etc. When the butter arrives In
Lon don it will be met Rt the wharf by
an agent Of the department and put
on the market. It will be ascertained
what package suits the British public
best; whether there is too much salt or
too little; whether there is too high
color or too low color; how our best
butter sells there in comparison with
the Danish butter. The whole history
of the transaction will be written up
from the maker to the consumer, and
this process will be repeated again and
agRin, and instructions given to our
makers until the butter wanted In the
British market can be regularly sup
piled here by the average creamery
man."
This information will be given to the
dRiEymen of the United States through
farmers bulletins, that will be sent 20
