The Dairy thermometer.

One of the most difficult things to
control in making butter on the farm
during the hot months is the tenn
perature, says Colman's Rural World.
Few farmers have ice and many no
facilities for cooling the milk and
cream with water. The woman's in
genuity is taxed and so the solution,
too many times, Is to hang the cream
pail in the we'll, which, in the majority
Of cases, is a tin one. and the expert
butter-makers never ripen cream in
a vessel made of tin. But pail of
other material is too heavy to trust
the cream in when hanging in the well
During the winter the farmers wife
can get the cream cold enough, and
she can easily warm the cream If she
knows Just how much to increase the
temperature. The one article needed
for this is a dairy thermometer. Do
not churn again without one. The cost
is only trile, but the saving OF worry
is immense. Before We learned its use
and value we were under constant
strain, lest we would have the butter
come n mass of white grease or wheth-
er we would be two hours churning.
Test with the thermometer the tenn
perature OF the cream, If too cold, set
the cream jar in vessel OF hot water
and stir the cream occasionally to have
that in the center of the jar of the
same temperature as that next q The
sides. II the room in which the churn-
ing is done is very warm then the
cream ought not to be too warm. II
your hardware merchant does not keep
dairy thermometers, he can easily or
der one for you. When once their
real value is known, churning will
never be done without the use Of one.
Don't call this new tangled" notion.
Get one. use 1t and then report as to
its value.

Hints as to the Care of Live Stock

Cos In Cheeac.


The Manhattan cheese factory has
been having trouble from gas and foul
odor in it's cheese curd, writes ID. II. o.
in Kansas Farmer. The gas would not
only push the curd out of the press,
but would leave it full Of holes. These
holes are caused by the presence OF
gas. which in turn is produced by the
action OF certain bacteria.
The Farm department of the Agri-
cultural College was asked to investi-
gate the trouble and il possible dis
cover its source. A small sample OF
each patrons milk was placed in
tumhler and subjected to the Wiscon-
sin curd test. This consists in heating
the milk up to SO degrees F., adding
about ten drops of rennet extract to
each sample, cutting up the curd with
knife to leave the whey out, and
then allowing the curd to ferment from
six to twelve hours. Examination OF
these small curds revealed the fact
that two patrons we're delivering milk
that contained these gas producing
germs in very considerable quantity.
Another curd contained but little gas
but had very foul odor; in fact, was
filthy. When the milk of these pat
rons was refused the gas ceased to be
produced in the cheese.
While testing the milk for gas, an
other test was made by heating a sam
pie of each patrons milk up to ll5 de-
grees F., to see the character OF the
odor given off. Two samples had
very rank smell, doubtless due to the
presence Of animal odor and from the
milk absorbing odors from filthy sur
roundings. One of these had gassy
curd in the previous test. Two other
samples had little peculiar odor that,
It was thought, might be due to the
cows eating some Objectionable plant
as Usage orange or rag-weed. Both
of the above tests show very clearly
the need of more care in handling OF
milk. Animal odor can be removed
by aerating the milk soon after milk
ing, while 1t is still warm. and hlthy
surroundings should not be tolerated
under any circumstances.
Gas-producing germs are rather
common, and 1t is sometimes difficult
to say just how they obtain entrance
to the milk. Two of the most common
sources OF infection are from the cows
drinking water from stagnant ponds
or creeks, and from fermenting matter
In the stable. The presence OF these
germs cannot be readily detected In
the milk. 1t often happens that they
are not noticed until the curd is ready
to go to press, or even after 1t is put to
press. Their presence is first observed
by the curd having an appearance as II
It had been flnely-punctured with
pin. II the fermentation goes on it
may cause the cheese to smell or
huff" and this fermentation may be
SO energetic as to cause the cheese to
crack, due to the pressure of the en-
closed gas. On account of the difficulty
of detection and OF the injurious effects
OF these germs, 1t should be the duty
of every patron to inspect his premises
and remove every source of infection,
whether 1t be the water, the feed, or
the surroundings.
