For Foaming Cream.

Hoard's Dairyman recommends the
following remedies for cream that feams
and swells up and will not churn, a
trouble common at this time Of year; It
is necessary TO churn at a higher tenn
perature than is required in ummer.
We would suggest trying TO churn at 65
or even 20 degrees, at the same time
putting in q handful of salt with the
cream when commencing TO churn. This
will help, though it may not remove
the trouble; but il In addition the COWS
could be fed some succulent food, such
az 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 a
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 q temperature of 100 de-
grees, then cool it TO 20 degrees. put it
in a can with a faucet at the bottom
and after it has stood l2 hours draw off
the water and milk and leave the cream.
This will remove a great part of the
substance, whatever it is, that causes
the viscosity. The cream can o be
ripened by holding at that temperature
for a sufficient length of time or, what
would be much better, by putting in a
starter made from skimmilk from o
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.
