Butter Making.

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 higher price, says a writer IN

Using the SEPARATOR.

In running 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
ature. He believes that probably the
most important point in running sep-
arator is the thickness Of the cream,
and says: Adjust your separator so
Inat 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 So degrees
than will cream containing 1S to 20 per
cent at 60 degrees. Th., secret of quick
churning at the very low temperature
81 to 90 degrees, which we know to be
the beSt-is to have your cream very
rich. This is an 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. The
second point of great Importance is to
cool the cream at once to a low tenn
&peratur at least 55 degrees and hold
it there for a 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 Withs different churnings, which
some OF us have, ] feel sure that chilli
ing the cream directly from the separa-
tor will help greatly. We shall get bet
ter grain, better flavor and more salts

ling of cream after it is separated is
the rock upon which many butter
makers split .2<

MIasx and Bn d Odors.

B 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, if 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 IN ex-
change that a pail Of buttermilk was

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 we'll had received thorough
cleaning and steam bath from jet.
Another mentions the patron Of a
creamery who had sold hogs IN order
to save time he loaded up the hogs in
the rear Of his wagon in crate and
set the milk cans that he was to de-
liver at the creamery in 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 OF its product at any stage.

to Have Had Good Mother. 5fS
y Noting the tendency Of mothers to
escape the care and responsibility Of
training their own chill dren, resoTting to
nurses, goyernesses, kindergartens, etc,
Edward w. Box, in the Ladies'
Home Journal, vigorously contends
that woman should consider her God
given duties to her children vastly
paramount to every claim that can
be made upon her time. 1T is one Of
the most Daleful tendencies of the
times" writes Mr. Box, that young
children are placed so much and so en-
tirely in the hands Of nurses, and so
far away from their mothers. II do not
think that women exactly realize what
the early teachings and Influences Of a
mother mean to man when he reaches
years of maturity. The time which a
boy. spends at his mothers knee is
never forgotten by the man. Our NOR
ality is learned there. Our characters
are formed there. We are most impress
sionable when we are in a stage of
absolute dependence upon others. What
sort of recollection is it for man to
look back to a line of nurses or gov
ernesses? What moral stimulus does
he receive from the recollection of a
mother inevitably reading some novel
and resting in a languid stupor with a
fan and smelling bottle? What moral
fibre is instifled into a child who sees
his mother only as she fits before him
between morning calls, luncheons,
meetings, teas, drives, dinners and the
ater parties? What does boy learn at
the knee of a nurse? Good? Perhaps.
But inst as often he learns that which
is not good. = Many a man has
stood at the forks Of the road in his
life, broken-hearted and perplexed, only
to have his mothers words, uttered to
him when child, come before him and
point him the way. It is then that he
realizes that the best thing in the
world for a man is to have had a good
mother, Watchful, tender and anxious,
as only mother can be where her
child is concerned. In those supreme
moments the lesson taught-not by the
nurse, not by a stranger, not at the

CLEANLY DAIRY1NG.

Appearances Count for Much In the
Dairy Business
While III town thu other day / saw q
sign on a milk wagon reading Clear
Greek Dairy" and visions of limpid
stream meandering through! sweet
pastures arose at once to my mind.
At the first opportunity paid a Wis
ut to the farm, and came near going by
1T for an abandoned place.. every
thing had such a run down appearance.
The beautiful stream of my magina-
tion might have been beautiful and
clear il the rubbish, including cast-off
boots and shoes, old sections of stove
pipe and general debris had been
cleared out of it. Clear Greek Dairy, 2
! indeed! What a 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 itSset me thinking how
often enticing names in the dairy are
misleading. Clear Creek Glover
Leaf and Sweet Meadow dairies
should be something like waht their
titles imply. I 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 pretty good
guide to quality i. &.
Have your dairy premises neat-look-
ing if you wish your milk and butter
) to be considered neat, ALSO Never
make stream of water on your farm
the receptacle for refuse. It is a filthy
custom that is objectionable. No one
4 can be a good dairyman unless he is
first a good farmer. The latter per
sonage makes the conditions possible
for profitable dairying.
I know of nothing more pernicious
than the habit Of dragging dead ami
mails out to distant parts Of the farm
and leaving them there unburled A
careless, Indifferent dairyman and
farmer almost invariably does this
way. It is often accountable for his
having tainted milk all summer.
In passing through COW pasture
]. recently counted three or four car
cases that two hours work would have
buried beyond sight and smell. 1t
seems willfnl neglect for dairymen in
this age of dairy intelligence, to toler-
ate such things, and think they mer-
it the most severe censure.
1t is very easy in summer. to keep
4 things sweet and clean about the dai-
ry, if one only has the will. 1t is sim
ply a matter Of choice, nothing more.

One of Her Vanfties.

The autumn girl shows a decided
fondness for making one thing answer
the purpose of two, says the New York
World. But it is not for the sake of
economy that she is so inclined. It is
merely the novelty Of the idea that at
tracts her. .l#,: - =
The handle of her umbrella is called
upon to act in this double capacity.
To the casual observer there is moth
ing strikingly new about the handles
They are more elaborate than in other
years, but that is all. But the up-to-
date girl can prove to you in minute
that they are not quite so common
place as they seem. There is the ham
die of natural wood, for example, with
large round top of gold set with a
miniature. The autumn girl will allow
you to admire it, and if you are a spe-
cial friend of hers she: may surprise
Z you by touching a little spring just un-
der the miniature. If she does, the top
will fly up and there you will see a
bit Of mirror and a tiny powder puff
box sr. II
Or she may carry an umbrella with
long silver handle, which has pug
dog for its top. One naturally thinks
this surely can be no powder puff box.
But the pug, when he is stroked ac-
cording to directions, will suddenly di-
vide in half and astonish every one by
proving that he is just as much a bon
bon box as he is a pug.
Handles of gold, many of them set
with jewels, have the tops made for
holding change as well as bonbons OF
course, all the umbrella handles are
not these surprise affairs. Among the
prettiest of those which are umbrella
handles and nothing more is one which
is a combination of Dresden gilt and
leather. The handle is unusually long.
The lower part of it is green leather,
arranged to look like scales. Above;
IS the handle is Dresden china. 1T is
scattered with flowers, which appear
as It handpainted and ornamented with
gilt in a rocco design. NJ Mother-of-
pearl handles, inlaid with silver, and
also with gold, are much in favor All
the new handles this year on the best
umbrellas are consid derably longer than
last year.
Rather Let the New Woman Go:
When all has been said and done.
when the new woman has become an
blished parsonage among us, and
has advanced ii years as well as in
wisdom and honor, there will still be
one thing for the world to regret and
sigh for-We shall have no more fat
old ladies, bless 'en!

ed from her youth in the most ap98

About Cattle.

The following from the North Ameri-
can Review, while NOT strictl dairy
literature, is of so much interest, we
give it a place here: .8
E 1T is easy to see that cattle are at
home in moist and wooded country.
I,he 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
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 a COW
with that of the heads of the horse,
the open, and have to watch the hori-
zon for the approach Of enemies. Then
the split hoofs of the cattle arc wonder
fully adapted for progress over soft
ground. In galloping over bogs OF deep
uluo, ttu oA oI DuHdlO VIII easily ulS-
tance a swift horse. Their toes spread
wide, and SO, they do not sink SO far
as the solid -hoofed animal What is
even more important, the open cleft
between the toes allows the air to en-
ter the hole in the mud as the foot is
withdrawn, whereas horses hoof
sticks like a sucker. Z owing to the par
tial vacuum below it and can only be

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 he
ing .oyerfipe. The cheesy matter OF
the cream is retained in the butter.
Streaked butter is due largely to salt
not being evenly distributed through
rffe mass. To avoid this, have the
milk where the wind will not blow on
it Stop tile churning when the butter
is i'm a fine granular state, and float
