Problem In Cream.

The question is to ascertain the mon
ey value of cream when the weight,
test and price per pound of butter fat
are given. To those of us whose early
training made us familiar with prob
lens in percentage this is not difficult
matter, but there are not few men Of
more than average general information
who are quite apt to stumble when they
attempt to deal with decimals.
We will work out couple Of prob
lens below to show as best we can the
method of making the computation.
For instance, what will be the value Of
408 pounds of cream which tests 20. z
per cent fat at 20 cents per pound Of
butter fat?
When we say that cream tests 30. z
per cent fat or milk 4.6 per cent, the
words per cent mean that they are the
given number of pounds of fat in each
100 pounds Of the cream or milk, as the
case may be. Therefore to obtain the
total fat in the whole quantity we null
tiply the amount by the rate per cent
and divide by 100 or remove the deoi-
NAL point two places to the left. Thu

Quoted by an old negress, Michael Nog-
giles dramatically confessed 70 9 murder
committed six years ago. According to
Noggles' story, he,with two other men,
met peddler on a country road near
Fennimore, Grant county, Wis. They
attempted to rob the peddler, who re-
sisted and was murdered. The men
then carried the corpse to an old brew
cry, where the body of the unfortunate
peddler was hacked to pieces and when
night fell was buried in an adjoining
grove. The peddler's disappearance
was never noted and Noggles claims
not to know the victims name. Nog-
giles told the police the names of his ac-
completes. One, he said, is in the PEN
itentiary for another murder and t.
other is living somewhere in Iowa.

sw1ss-JERsEY CROSS.

Swiss depend for both meat and milk,
although it is precious little beef the
agriculturist Of Europe has to eat from
one years end to another.
The Swiss cows are perhaps the gen.
tlest and most intelligent in the world,
owing to the care and kindness with
which they are treated. They are nat
urally nearly as large as an Aberdeen
Angus. The Swiss-Jersey crossbred in
the picture weighs about 1900 pounds.
She gives an average Of 90 pounds of
milk day when in full flow, which is
equal to the Jersey record. The milk,
however, is not quite SO rich as that of
a first class pure bred Jersey. The ad-
vantage of the Swiss cross is that it
gives hardness to the alleged delicate
Jersey constitution.

For Foamine Cream.

Hoard's Dairyman recommends the
following remedies for cream that foams
and swells up and will not churn,
trouble common at this time of year: 1t
is necessary to churn at higher tenn
perature than is required in summer.
We would suggest trying to churn at 65
or even 10 degrees, at the same time
putting in handful of salt with the
cream when commencing to churn. This
will help, though it may not remove
the trouble; but if in addition the COWS
could be fed some succulent food, such
as roots or silage, we feel sure that after
a few days the trouble would cease. If
succulent food cannot be had, the feed
ing Of one or two pounds Of oilmeal
day to each COW would tend to have the
same effect
There is another thing that can be
done which we feel sure would bring
relief from the trouble, though the re-
form in feeding would be of advantage
to the COWS by keeping them in better
health and condition and also increase,
or at least better keep up, the flow Of
milk than their present feed.
Here is the thing to do: Skim off the
cream sweet or nearly SO. Then dilute
it with about three times it's own bulk
of water at temperature Of 100 de-
grees, then cool it to 70 degrees, put it
in can with faucet at the bottom
and after it has stood 10 hours draw off
the water and milk and leave the cream
This will remove great part of the
substance, whatever it is, that causes
the viscosity. The cream can now be
ripened by holding at that temperature
for sufficient length of time or, what
would be much better, by putting in q
starter made from skimmilk from .
fresh milking COW.
If a farm separator is used in cream
ing the milk, there would be no loss by
doing this way, but if cream is raised
BY gravity the diluting and second set
ting will cause some loss, but one will
be pretty sure to get some butter: which
ought to be of a fairly good quality.

Dairy and, Creamery.

Here is an excellent feed for dairy
COWS: Take of corn bran and wheat
bran equal parts by weight. Mix thor
oughly and to eight pounds of the mix
ture add two pounds of cottonseed meal.
This will make grain ration for one
day for an average sized COW. To this
should be added all the ensilage, hay or
fodder the COW will eat.
In feeding COWS for dairy tests three
mistakes are made, writes John Cox.
They are these: L. Giving too much
food and water Immediately after q
journey, when the animals are tired. 3.
Feeding too literally. 3. Giving too
much food at one time.
The little Irish Kerry COW makes 244
pounds of butter year. The milk
yields one pound of butter to every
eight quarts. In Ireland the Kerry is
the COW most valued for the dairy. She
is called the poor man 8 COW because she
makes such large return for the cost Of
her keep. There are few Kerry herds
in America-one in Massachusetts,, an
other in New York.
If a mild, rich, moist cheese-one
that stays so-could be invented at our
factories, every pound of it,would find
amarket at home. The trouble with the
average cheese is that it becomes hard,
bitter and tough in very short time,
and then a pig could scarce abide it.
George A. Smith says: The milk of
"a COWS sent to cheese factory aver
aged 7l.9 cents per 100 pounds, to a
butter factory averaged GIL cents per
100 pounds and to milk station av-
eraged 70. / cents per 100 pounds with
COWS fresh in the fall and giving per
cent milk. The milk sold for making
fancy cheese averaged 96.5 cents per
100 pounds, and where the first diaries
averaged about 1000 pounds the last
gave over 5000.

To Bring Cows to Their Milk.

l have known several instances Of
promising 2-year-old heifers that when
3 years old failed to come up to their
2-year-old record. They usually do bet
ter the next year. Why this failure the
second year Icannot say, unless it is be-
cause they were overworked the first
year. Beyond good care and feed there
is very little that can be done to in
crease the milk flow. Kneading the nd
der actively with the hands for several
minutes,after each milking may stimu-
late an increased flow. The COW may
come to her milk after the next calving.

In accordance with request this ration
is made up with maximum quantity
of ensilage and grain and minimum
OF hay If the ensilage is of good quail
ty and the COWS are hearty and vigor-
Gus, it will probably prove satisfac-
tory ration. The ensilage should be fed
IN two parts, night and morning, with
one-half the grain Oh each, and the hay
in the morning an hour or SO after the
ensilage is fed. The morning feed of
ensilage may well be somewhat smaller
than the evening. Country Gentleman.

The ac1dity of the engines remained

The ac1dity of the engines remained
unimpaired.
The flavor Of cheese is an entirely
independent problem, but SO far as the
conversion Of the hard. green curds
into soluble ripened cheese is concerned
there is no longer any doubt as to the
cause of this change.
The most important result Of these
Investigations is the satisfactory expla-
nation that can now be given for the
breaking down Of the green curd into
cheese, but in addition to this there are
one or two suggestions that might be
made that show the practical bearings
Of the subject.
1t has long been known that filled
cheese does not ripen in normal man
ner; that the type of fermentation is far
from that which usually occurs in a
normally cured cheese. In the light of
this new theory how can this be ex-
planned?
Filled cheese is usually made from
separator skimmilk to which neutral
fats have been added In removing the
butter fat and centrifuge slime very
considerable proportion of the inherent
milk engines are taken out of the
milk, and as the cheaper oils added to
replace the butter fat do not contain
these the cheese is deficient in these
ferments, and therefore may undergo
an entirely different curing process.
The same may be said to be true in
part concerning the retarded ripening Of
skim cheese.
Then again it is possible that the
better keeping quality of separator
cream butter compared with the gravi-
ty product may be due in part to the
fact that it contains less of these fer
ments to act on the heterogeneous ele-
ments Of the cream (albumen, casein,
etc.,, and therefore the production Of
off favors (proteid decomposition prod
ucts) is retarded in the separator prod
uct compared with ordinary dairy but
ter.
Experiments are now under way to
determine whether the elimination of
the slime from milk intended for cheese
is detrimental or not. We have hereto
fore recommended the use of separa-
tor as a means of purifying the milk,
as it takes out innumerable bacteria,
dirt and all foreign matter It is un-
questionably desirable to have these re-
moved, but it is possible that the elimi-
nation of the milk engines may affect
the character of the curing changes.

About washing Butter.

Too much washing of the butter will
certainly deprive it of the very finest
delicate but fugitive aroma. We most
assuredly condemn leaving the butter
granules to soak for hours in water as
we have seen many makers do, but
quick rinsing of the butter while in
granular form will not destroy the aro-
ma.
We fail to see the connection of:wash-
ing and butter worker, as the latter may
be used for either washed or unwashed
butter, and surely no one would claim,a
superior flavor on account of using
ladle instead of butter worker?
II you drain the buttermilk and then
replace it with good water preferably
deep we'll water) and give few turns
to the churn and drain the water at
once, you need not fear being docked at
any butter show on account of having
washed the butter.
We may add that the Danes, who
used to advocate and practice no wash
ing, now rinse their butter as recon-
mended by us, or have tub of cold
water near the churn, take out a sieve
full Of granules and just immerse it in
the tub for moment.
In washing butter it is well to re-
member that the water must neither be
too warm nor too cold. Depending on the
temperature of the buttermill1, we have
found that from 80 to 5S degrees is
about the range.
Only yesterday we had churning
with the buttermilk drawing at 80 de-
grees, and we used wash water at 81 de-
grees with good result.-Country Gen

French Canadian Cows.

These COWS are small and very kind
tempered, are free from tuberculosis,
and in color are black or dark. They
are the best mixers in Canada for the
average farmer. They do not give the
great yield of Holsteins or some Ayr
shires, but the milk yield continues
from calf to calf, and the annual pro-
duction is usually greater than even the
Holstein or Ayrshire. A French Cana
dian COW that does not give 5000
pounds of milk in a year is not good
COW. The average percentage of fat by
the Babcock test is from 4 y to so per
cent They are endowed with a strong
constitution and never have tuberculo-
sis unless they get it from some other
breed. This breed has until recently
been neglected, but now in Canada they
are coming to realize that the French
Canadian COW is not excelled by any Of
the imported breeds. The Canadian COM
