DRESSING BUTTER.
Value of Careful Preparation on the
Market Price.

Value of Careful Preparation on the
Market Price.
An expert Texas butter maker tells
price on his butter. He says:
Working butter is an art not well
understood by the many. Butter
should be worked to get the milk and
water out and to get the salt in and
properly distributed. When these OBJ
jects have been secured the working
should cease. The working should al
ways be by pressure and never by
rubbing or scrapfng.
Print butter with the name of the
maker or some trademark on it and
wrap it up in parchment paper. We
use brick molds' with our name cut
in them, and every pound we send out
is an advertisement for the retailer
to whom we sell.
Country butter, good, bad and in
different, is only country butter" and
is at discount in all our markets.
There must be some distinguishing
mark about butter to distinguish it
from country butter" Thousands Of
pounds of country butter are bought
up by our country merchants. 1t is
never offered to their customers at
home, but shipped to the process but
ter" factories to be converted into
creamery CO butter. Our first ship
ment of pure, rich Jersey butter to
Galveston, dressed in country style,
netted US about cents. When we
next sent, we dressed it in city style,
and they sent it right up head, to s
cents ahead of Elgin, and there it stays.
There is not so much in the market
as in the customer. Hotels have never
bought our butter. They prefer cleo,
because it Is cheaper. Dress your but
ter so that it will be known on sight,
send to some enterprising, honest re-
taller sample shipment, and If your
butter has the merit you will have the
market.

have used ensiloed corn for the last
II years and prefer it to corn fodder
principally because the cows like it bet
ter, says A. II. Cooley in American Ag-
riculturist. 1t is more palatable and,
think. easier digested. 1t makes q
grand thing to mix the ground feed
with and is just damp enough to hold
the other feed, which causes the cows
to chew the whole mass, thus getting
. the saliva well mixed with the fine feed
as well as the coarse stuff, so that they
get more value from the ground feed,
which costs the most money.

NOTES ON MILKING.
Important Matters For the COnsid-
Grafton OF Dairymen.

Important IatterS rOr the COne1Qs
Grafton OF Dairymen.
We keep daily record of each cows
milk and find 1t pays in several ways,
writes correspondent of Rural New
Yorker. We think many are deferred
from this practice. because they think it
takes too much time. We have scale
with set pointer, so that the empty
pals, which all weigh alike, will hang
at zero. Then 1t is but seconds work
to weigh and set down the result For
keeping the record we have roll fas-
tened at both ends to roller similar to
rolling pins. The frame has glass
front and a narrow space just wide
enough to permit one milking. to be set
down at a time. The sheet is always
clean. as it Is not apt to be where
lot of surface is exposed.
With the scale and record we don't
guess so much. The COW with the
pail full, but only half solid milk,
gets credit only for what she really
gives. The cow that gives fair mess
and sticks right at it has show
then with the COW that gives a big
mess for month or two and then
drops out of sight. We are apt to
milk a little faster and cleaner, as
we want to keep up or. increase her
record. If several cows drop, we
know that there is something the mat
ter. We note how quickly they are
affected by early or late cut hay. or
how a cold storm will show decrease.
We find that the cow that can be quick
ly MIXED gives most satisfaction.
Men are more likely to dry up slow
milking cow and are not apt to milk
her quite so clean.
We have found that some men will
get much more milk out of certain
cows than others. Theoretically every
man shou' TX the same cows, but
If you ha me slow mixers better
let them have all the shippers, or else
let them milk hit or miss. More of a
dairyman's success depends on the
milking than one is likely to think.
Some men take good care of their
cows up to this the last vital point
and then miss. The cow should be at
ease, then MIXED gently, but just as
fast as possible. 1t is good, hard work
to milk COWS properly and to get the
most out of them. We find that when
very tired at nights milking we do
not get so much milk. Look out for
the man with finger nails. He will
irritate the cow just enough to make
her uncomfortable, and you'll have to
stand the loss. Noise of any kind or
anything out of the ordinary that ex-
cites the COW should be guarded
against at milking time.

pose cattle, but because they are not so
numerous. They are little smaller
than the Shorthorns and, in my judg-
ment, should be kept so. Hence their
best place will be found on farms un-
dulating and with fairly good produc-
ton.
The Brown Swiss are also good dual
purpose cattle, with leaning to milk.
They have ample growth for beef pro-
duction, but their strong bone develop
ment is somewhat against them for
producing the highest class of beef.
They are large cattle and are therefore
adapted to conditions in which milk
production is abundant. The little
Devons are good dual purpose cattle,
with leaning to beef. Their place is
on billy farms, with proportion of bot
tom land for growing winter food:
These animals, with their neat limbs
and smooth, ponylike frames, dress
well on the block and produce an ex-
cellent duality Of beef. Dual purpose
cows may also be obtained by taking
large dairy cows Of mixed breeding and
crossing upon them Shorthorn, Polled
Durham or Red Poll bulls from good
milking families. In two or three gen.
erations of careful breeding the dual
quality will assert itself.
How, then, shall the dual purpose
cow be bred? Select large, roomy bod
led cows. Secure bulls inclining to the
pronounced meat form to maintain
stamina for crossing upon the cows.
These bulls should be from dams in
the near ancestry of which were good
mixers. Feed the heifers in such q
way that their milking powers will
not be injured. Eliminate all milk pro-
ducers below the desired standard as
soon as the fact is known. Persistence
In such breeding will give the coun-
try such dual purpose cows as have
not been seen in the land.
Hoard's Dairyman recently printed
the picture Of the brown Swiss bull
McJOhn, with the following informa-
ton: In reply to our request for some
specific information as to the dairy
points and dairy heredity of this bull,
McJohn, Mr.. Inman writes us concern
ing the former that 'he has a wide
head between the horns and eyes, q
very dishing face between the eyes
and between the eyes and nose; Lots of
room between the ribs and from the
ribs to hip bones; long, slim tail
with heavy switch; four we'll devel-
oped rudimentaries; long udder
vein; loose, mellow skin; full. bright
eyes; good back, and a fine chest"
He is, however, unable to state any
thing about the dairy ability Of the
dam, most important particular for
correctly estimating his dairy potency,
but says the dam Of his sire gave TO-
966 pounds of milk in one year that
made $50 pounds Of butter. Her
weight was 1850 pounds. McJohn is
only years old and consequently none
Of his heifers is in milk and thus able
to contribute, her evidence as to his
merit or otherwise as dairy sire.

Feeding and Breeding.

The dairy bacteriologist Of the Mary
land experiment station states that the
dairy COW improved by feeding is bet
ter than the grade which has not been
systematically fed, but that the better
and surer way is to combine the two
methods, letting breeding and feeding
each have its influence. 1t must net
be forgotten that no substantial Inn
provement can be made In herd Of
cows without liberal and proper feed

may be used. s. ss4sg.,
