MAKING GOOD BUTTER.
All Authorities Are Agreed That
Success Depends on Proper
Ripening of Cream.

The all-important question of the
day with creamery and dairymen is
how to obtain a uniform and fine fla
vored butter. Nearly all investiga-
tors agree that the secret lies in the
proper ripening of the cream; and
when we read of the tons of low-grade
butter brought into the markets daily,
all owing to the fact that the negli-
gence or ignorance as to the proper
treatment of the cream lies at the root
of this great fault, it appears to be
point worthy of consideration.
To state the subject of starters
plainly and intelligently, it is neces-
sary to take the fundamental princi-
pie of the ripening of cream into con-
sideration. The ripening of cream in
cludes two features upon which the
quality of the butter largely depends.
These are flavor and texture. The eff
fects of ripening with starters are far
more marked upon the flavor of but
ter than upon the texture, for it is
during this process that the character
istic fiavors are developed. Cream
ripening is merely a fermentation
process caused by bacterial growth.
This growth is controlled by tenn
perature by which a rise from 60
degrees Fahrenheit, and not to ex-
ceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, induces
growth and develops immense num-
bers of bacterial while lowering the
temperature retards growth. The ac-
tion of these germs in cream results in
the conversion of part of the milk
sugar into Tactic acid, and slight for
nation of carbonic acid gas and few
other volatile constituents not def
nitely known.-MidIand Farmer.

The Mixed Milk Ration

Roughage is nearly the same every
where, corn silage, cornstalks and hay.
The question is what to use for grain
ration to be fed with the above kinds
of roughage to produce the most milk.
Most farmers have corn and oats,
which they grind andfeed mixed with
a little bran; this does not furnish the
most desirable nor the cheapest ration
when production is considered. Leave
out the corn entirely, as worse than
useless, and substitute cottonseed
meal, even at $40 per ton. BY feeding
four pounds bran, four pounds oats
and two pounds cottonseed meal, with
silage, cornstalks and hay, or even
without the hay, you will get results
that will be surprising.-Troy IN. "

"This being a twin isn't what it is

young man who looks so much like his

friends are unable to tell them apart,
relates the Detroit Free Press. "Of

'My brother has a certain young
lady living in another part of the city

to call upon her the other evening,

the appointment, he prevailed upon
me to take his place, which was not a
very difficult matter, as the young
lady in question is very nice, and L
rather looked forward with pleasure
to spending an evening in her COM

say and how to act. Said he:

at the door. If she does you put your
arm around her and kiss her. Only

at me. She won't stand for any more,

A Strong Appeal From Nash to Keep up the
Temperance Fight.

To the Editor: In behalf Of the best

people of North Carolina an equal chance
of meeting the liquor question, which is
today an all absorbing question.

our representative men should do some-I

who by their presence, drive despair and
gloom from the earth. Are their prayers
to forever fall upon deaf ears?

tones; No! Let the true manhood of
North Carolina assert itself in behalf of
all that is sacred, noble and true, and let
there be an ever-increasing sentiment
against the whiskey traffic, which hangs
like a deep pail over the homes of those
