! KEEPING BUTTER. ;
I HOW IT MAY he DONE WITH !
OUT THE USE OF PRE- /.
. SERNATINES.

The strenuous measures adopted and
under consideration in many of the cit
les of Europe and America to prevent
the sale of milk in which p~rcservatives
have been used to keep it from souring
in transit have set the wits of British
inventors to work to devise some plan
to obviate the necessity of resorting 10
such means, and a newly patented milk
can is the result. With the cans con-
structed on the old principles it "a an
impossibility to fill these so completely
as to prevent the milk intended for
transit from churning owing to the os-
citation of the train or boat and which
has so detrimental an effect on the
milk, making it "buttery" or sour, ac-
cording TO the season of the year. To
obviate these grave disadvantages milk
dealers have resorted to chemicals or
representatives" which rob the fluid of
its natural flavor and nutritious quail
ties and are also detrimental to the
health Of the consumers AS n cOnse-
quonce such great dissatisfaction las
arisen that the sanitary authorities
have taken the matter UP, and prose-
BUTTONS have followed in many of the
large cities, and heavy penalties have
been imposed.
The main feature Of this new invon-
ton consists of an arrangement where
by after the can is full in the ordinary
sense an airproof lid is compressed by
means of q cross bar and thumbscreW,
which causes the milk to represent a

COWS to furnish milk and butter for
their own use only would find it very
convenient to be able to keep the sur
plus butter of June ana July till the
following January and February and

Il suppose it is unnecessary to men

harm in reminding butter makers that
it is about the most important thing
about the work. The very heart of the
secret of making butter that viii keep
a long time is the age of the cream
ana its temperature. Set in common
tin pans i'm an ordinary cool cellar, the
cream should be skinned SO hours
from the time it was set ana then kept
not longer than four days in cool
weather ana two in hot.
IF a pan of milk is missed and the
cream gets old, do not skim it for but

butter VIII spoil that also. When the
churnius is delayed, use the butter at

cheese inspectors, has arranged to put
a creamery butter Inspector in the field

was the expert butter maker at the
Worlds fair in Chicago and has since

Dairymen, stand up! What are you

your health or for fun, go ahead in the

boiler and bring the milk to - degrees.
For from five to seven gallons of milk
add about half a t~easpoouful Of Che
coloring fluid and half that quantity of
rennet previously mixed with a little
water. Stir thoroughly and leave it to
%coagulate at the am temperature.
When the curd will break off clean
from the bottom of your finger, it is
time to cut. \ long carving knife or
anything that will reach down to the
bottom of the pan Will do. Cut zach
way, leaving about an inch between
the cuts. The heat may now be raised
gradually about two degrees every five
minutes TO 0S. Begin in "A few minutes
by shaking the boiler to help the flying
off Of the whey, but gently. SO that the
fat does not escape. Presently stir and
repeat the stirring every two or three
minutes. In about half an hour the de
sired temperature ought to be reached.
The curd win soon be half its size, and
when pressed between the finger and
thumb the clots don't stick together.
1t is now time to take of half of the
whey. The approved vat has a tap. but
it is quite easy to take Oft part with a
clipper whom the curd has settled.
Leave it covered an inch or two that
it may develop more Tactic acid and
the curd mat together, after which re-
move it from the remaining whey.
At this point l take MP the inner
boiler and place the curl in the two
colauders, leaving it there to drip into
the large boilers. This, the cheddaring
process, goes on at 90 degrees. Occa-
s~ionally change the bottom Of the curd
to the top. When chedlarcd, instead
Of a tough, spongy mass, the curd is
the texture of cooked lean meat, elastic
and hbrous.
Curd mills are used for preparing the
curd for sailing, but in small quantities
it is quite quickly cut with one Of the
new choppers and chopping board. 1t
should not be cut fine, but Of as uni
form q size as possible, so as to receive
the salt evenly, and as near the temper
allure Of 80 degrees as possible. About
the same quantity Of salt is required
for cheese as for butter.
When the heat is lowered to rs de-
grees, it is ready for the press. At a
higher point the fat is liable to escape,
and if too cold the curd PARTICLES DO not
adhere. Baudages are easy to make of
cheesocloth. Sew a strip the circum-
ference and height OF your tin 60 a
round piece the required size. Another
round piece viii be needed to lay on the
top of the cheese before folding the

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.


Conflicting Reports rs to Conditions of
Crops in General for Past Week.
The weather of the week ending July
Q has varied greatly in temperature and
in the distribution of rainfall. The
average number of clear days, p; partly
cloudy, 1; cloudy, |. The first four days
of the week were quite cool, averaging
much below the normal. One correspond
ent from Vermont reports a minimum of
10 degrees on the Sd. The last three days
of the week constituted the warmest pc
Rod Of the season-the maximum being
reached on the 9th. The hot period
has been characterized by high humid
ties and severe thunderstorms.
In the northern states crops are a few
days late and suffering from dry
weather. In Maine some barley and
Hungarian grass is yet to be sown.
There has been a large amount of fodder
corr sown throughout the district.
Potato beetles and squash bugs are
doing considerable damage in Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. There
are few forest tent caterpillars this
season.
In Maine very little grass has been cut.
The rains of the week preceding in
creased the growth in northern fields
more han was anticipated. The crop
has been harvested thus far under favor
able conditions; the rains of the week
have been so light as to interfere but
little with the hal vesting. In Rhode
Island pastures are getting brown and
streams are low. In Maine pastures are
better than usual. Reports from other
states are conflicting, though Massachu-
sets and Connecticut are generally
favorable.
Early corr is looking well, but late
planted IS uneven and many fields are
deficient in stand. The crop in Maine.
though backward, is thrifty. Rye has
filled and is now ready to cut. Reports
on oats are conflicting. In northern
localities they now need rain. In some
southern fields the crop is reported
heavy. Much oats has been cut green
for fodder.
In dry districts apples are falling and
berries shrivelling. The strawberry
season has passed in Vermont and
New Hampshire. Reports conflict
as to the amount of the crop. Rasp-
berries are beginning to ripen in Rhode
island and Connecticut. IN favored
localities the prospects are now flattcr-
ing. one report from Vermont states
that summer apples are plentiful, but
that winter varieties are poor. One
correspondent from Rhode Island says
that insects are innumerable and destroy
iug fruit. Cranberry boys promise "a full
crop. Grapes and b%!ackberries are
abundant.
Potatoes are in full bloom in Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Perhaps more than any other vegetable,
they now need rain. Onions throughout
Massachusetts are in a favorable con-
dition. Stringbeans are being marketed.
Many gardens are now seriously affected
by the dry weather.
