The different nations of Europe, as
well as the different colonies of Eng
land in Australasia. are paying more
attention than ever to the manufac-
ture Of butter. Reports of the worlds
supply of butter last year show that
nations that were not previously
counted among the producers of good
butter are now coming to the front
We mightecan attention even to ST.
IBERIA as an Asiatic country in which
the development of the dairy industry
has been described as almost mar
velous." Holland greatly increased
her production last year and the same
is true of the North of France. The
production in the Australasian coun-
tries was the heaviest ever known and
predictions are freely made that the
increase this year will be at least 20
per cent over that of last. Last year
more than s.. 1000 boxes of butter were
sent from New Zealand and Australia
to England.
The passage last week of the Grout
bill is encouraging news. 1t is GER
tain to operate to the interests of both
the producers of butter and the con-
sumers Of butter and oleomargarine.
The producers of butter will now be
able to sell their butter without hav-
ing a spurious article placed before it.
On the other hand. the consumers of
oleomargarine will be able to purchase
the article named at a fair price in
stead of at an exorbitant price The
manufacture of oleomargarine will not
be discontinued, but the consumers
will simply get used to 1t minus the
color The reduction of the tax per
pound on the uncolored article to one
fourth of a cent will doubtless stimu-
late the manufacture of the uncolored
article and we have reason to believe
the present manufacturers will ind
themselves again facing a brisk COM
petition. For cooking purposes there
Will certainly be demand for oleo. as
many city people now purchase it for
that purpose alone. The real reason
why the big manufacturers of oleo
fight SO fiercely for the color is not
that they are afraid that the industry
will perish. but because they know
they will not be any longer able to
gather the enormous profits that have
accrued to them in selling their prod
uct as something else other than what
It is.

Dairymen will be pleased to learn
that the Grout bill has passed the ma
tional house of representatives by
vote of 1913 to 80. This is certainly
big majority and shows that the sale
of oleomargarine for butter is not
countenanced by majority of the leg
islators- The friends of o1eomargarine
made hard fight to keep the bill from
passing and tried to switch it from the
track by introducing substitute. One
or the committee on agriculture of the
house is Representative Wadsworth
from New York. Being the chairman
OF the said committee he tried to use
his position as means of impeding
the progress of the bill. He introduced
substitute for the Grout bill and
claimed that it would do the work.
Some OF the trimmers favored the sub
stitute, but when it came to a vote on
the substitute it was defeated by
margin OF sixty-five votes, the vote
standing 17S against and 113 for the
substitute The bill as adopted pro-
V1des for tax of 10 cents per pound
on colored oleomargarine and reduces
the tax on the uncolored article from
cents per pound to n cent per pound.
An amendment was adopted to the eff
feet that the bill should go into effect
July 1, 1901. The debate on the bill
was sharp and the excitement attend
ing it great. The o1eomargarine inter
ests were present by their lobbyists
and exerting all the influence possible.
Mr.. Lorimer of Chicago was one of
the chief defenders of the interests of
the manufacturers of oleomargarine.
He claimed that depriving the manu-
facturers of the right to color their
product to initiate butter was equiva-
lent to wiping out great industry"
Mr. Grout (Vt.), the author of the
bill, declared the purpose of the bill
was to suppTe ss fraud in the sale of
food product by preventing the col
orAng of oleomargarine in imitation of
butter. Over 04,O00,O 900 pounds of
oleomargarine had been manufactured
and sold last year. That was about
one-ninth of the total butter consump-
ton of the United States.
DO you not think that the enact
ment of a substitute would prevent
fraud in the sale of oleomargarine?"
asked Mr.. Burke CTex.).
Il do not replied Mr.. Grout. "The
public would have no more protection
than it has now
Mr.. Grout produced figures to show
that oleOmargarine cost less than 9
cents a pound and was worked off on
the public by the retailer at from Is to
80 cents pound. He gave a practical
illustration of the manner in which
.oleomargarine is sold by having
brought into the house a boxful of
packages which looked like butter.
Each was wrapped in brown wrapping
paper. The packages were passed
around, and after they had been exam
'ined Mr.. Grout defied any one to tell
whether they contained butter or oleo-
margarine. Then he turned up cor
ner of the wrapping paper which had
been apparently carelessly folded
down and displayed the printed sign
"Oleomargarine."

butter rat that are held In suspension

of these globules could be removed

We doubt the assertion very much
The color of the butter fat doubtless
exerts a great influence on the color of
the milk, but we do not believe that it
does on the opacity.
The dehorning of dairy cows is COM
ing into practice more and more.
When possible they should be treated
in calfhood so that no horns will
grow, but when this has not been done
it is better to dehorn them than to
permit the horns to remain. AS to
time of dehorning some dairymen ex-
press a preference for winter. as at
that time flies are not troublesome.
The cow should never be subjected
dehorning at any critical period or
near it. Parturition is one of those
periods. The dehorning should not
take place within six weeks of the
time when the COW is due to calve nor
should it be done after calving till
at least six weeks have elapsed.
AS to the morals of dehorning we
think there is no question. Probably
the COW that is dehorned suffers no
more than the man that has a couple
of teeth pulled. If the horns are not
removed other animals and even hu-
mans have frequently to suffer.

Rules for Churninr.

Rules for Churning.
These, compiled at the Texas Ex-
pertinent station, have some local and
climatic features, but in the main have
general application.
1. Rinse out the churn with cold wa
ter.
2. Scald thoroughly with hot water.
3. Wash out with ice water to cool.
(The observance of rules 1, 5, 3, will
prevent the sticking of the cream or
butter to the walls of the churn.)
4. 1t is necessary to weigh the
cream, so that the proper amount OF
salt and coloring matter may be de-
termined.
5. Strain the cream into the churn.
This will prevent white specks in the
butter. If the butter contains white
specks it is due to:
a. Failure to strain the cream.
b. Failure to stop the churn when
the butter is in the granular form.
c. Improper washing of the granular
butter.
d. An attempt to churn mixed lots"
of cream of different degrees of ripe
ness.
6. Churn at from 40 to go dogs. F.,
the food.
a. In our climate too low a temper
allure cannot be secured during the
summer season. Better results will be
secured at this season if twenty to
forty pounds of ice is broken up and
put in the churn, to aid in maintaining
low temperature.
b. When the cream foams it is too
cold.
C. If the butter is crumbly the
churning temperature is too low.
d. Cream should be warmed by plac-
ing the can containing it in a vessel of
water (the water and cream should
have the same leveD heating gently
and stirring constantly to insure even
heating and prevent cooking on the
sides of the can. Never apply steam
or hot water directly to the cream.
z. Properly ripened, cream contains
from five to six-tenths of one per cent
of acid by Farrington's acidity test
a. If more or less acid is present in
the cream the loss of fat will be very
considerably increased
b. Mixed patches Of cream should
not be churned, and all cream should
be mixed at least twelve hours previ-
GUS to the time of churning, and fire.
quentfy stirred to insure even ripen-
ing. and hence exhaustive churning
C. Sweet cream does not churn as
exhaustively as acid cream and the re-
sulting butter is not so palatabIe nor
salable.
s. Start the churn slowly, thirty to
forty revolutions per minute. Remove
the air plug every few revolutions for
the first five minutes and allow the gas
to escape. Gradually increase the speed
of the churn to forty to sixty revolu-
tons per minute.
8. Just when the butter breaks add a
gallon of ice water in warm weather,
and at temperature of so to so degs
F. in cold weather, to the churn, and
continue until the granules are the size
of wheat grains.
a. Whenever the lid of the church is
removed, it should be rinsed OFF with
dipperful of cold water, to prevent the
waste of cream and for the sake of
cleanliness
b. Do not allow any of the particles
of butter to be lost. They are worth
money and correspond to profit and
loss.
