FERMENTs AND FLAVOR IN EuT.
TED


The production of tactic acid causes
the sourness OF cream, and is largely
accountable for the desired flavor In
butter. 1t is the most important prod
uct formed, and serves as guide In
testing the ripeness OF cream. The
carbonic acid gas Is mostly given of,
out the volatile constituents play an
important part, IL the ripening be
properly carried on. I'm producing q
nne aroma, which Is not obtained
when foreign acids are added to sweet
cream In the attempt to secure the
same flavor without ripening. For this
reason sweet cream butter has very
little flavor, and It is only through the
ripening or souring Of cream that the
Havor OF butter Is obtained The ripen-
ing OF cream may develop good or bad
havors, depending upon the kinds of
bacteria which take part in the fer.
mentation. A particular kind of bac.

lions that give rise to a bad flavor are
Always due to some undesirable germs
that have gained access to the milk.
The source of these last named germs
in the milk is filth. due to careless and
dirty milking or to the use of unclean
utensils, or sometimes to the use of
milk from diseased COW. Filthiness
is the great source of trouble in the
art of buttermaking, so much stress
must be laid on cleanliness in every
phase of milk and butter production

ABOUT SEPARATING.

Unfavorable conditions for cream
separation are:
l. Speed below that which the ma
chine is calculated to run.
2. Feeding separator to its capacity
or over when speed is too low.
3. MILK below a temperature of "a
degrees when being separated.
4. Making very heavy cream by ad.
justment
5. Vibrating, swaying, or unsteady
running of the bowl.
Reversing these conditions, of
course, will cause the most favorable
conditions for thorough separation
Every buttermaker should see that
his separator runs smoothly and with
regular speed, and that as near as DOS.
slble to the speed intended for that
particular machine, which is usually
stamped on the bowl 1t Is not wise
to run any separator much faster, ow-
ing to the danger of injuring the bear.
ings or bursting the bowl. AS soon
as separation Is complete the separa-
tor should be thoroughly washed. get.
ting every particle out OF the crevices,
and then have it thoroughly blown out
with live steam, so that all parts com.
ing in contact with milk or cream
will be perfectly sterile. The heat
absorbed by the bowl will then cause
al dampness to vaporize, thus leaving
all parts dry and free from danger

GOVERNMENT DEMANDS PAS.
TEURIZATlON.

The movement for the pasteurization
of all milk and cream from which but
ter Is made, has received a new i'm.
pulse in the demand by the govern
ment for such butter for use In the
navy. A Kansas creamery company
controlling many creameries and skim.
ming stations has been awarded a
contract to manufacture several hun
dred thousand pounds, but 1t Is speci.
fed that this butter must be from
pasteurized milk or cream. This should
have considerable influence In reduc-
ing the amount OF sickness In the
navy. Disease germs live in butter as
well as in milk, and it is impossible to
estimate how many epidemics may
have occurred with infected butter as
a source. But there is another reason
for requiring pasteurization, and that
is that the percentage of spoiled but
ter may be reduced, and that the
keeping quality of the good butter pay
be increased. This must be large
matter in years butter supply Of the
navy. Some of the large creamery
companies that do not pasteurize, ex-
press their discomfort at the require
ment by the government and hint that
it was a dodge to throw the contract
in a certain direction. But few will
look at 1t In this light. If they cannot
keep up with the demand of the times
for good butter, they have only them.

FLAVOR OF BUTTER

It Is safe to say that the principal
defect in the quality Of Canadian but.
ter, as in the butter from any other
country, is in regard to the matter of
flavor, said J. A. Reddick in an ad.
dress. The causes which give rise to
this defect are many and not always
easily located, but the buttermaker
has a great advantage over the cheese.
maker, inasmuch as he has 1t within
his power to control the flavor of the
butter to very great extent by the
use of good favored fermentation
starters" and by proper attention to
the ripening Of the cream. His failure
to do this is one reason why the but.
ter is often inferior in flavor. Butter.
makers must study this question of
ripening cream and the use Of start.
ers." The trouble is that very often
the starter produces bad flavor
instead of good one. When the
farmer sows his seed he expects to
reap what he sows. II he sows wheat
he reaps a crop of wheat, but II the
grain he uses is full of mustard-seed |
need not point out what the result
will be. 1t is not possible to get fine
favored butter where bad starters are
used any more than it is to get crop
of wheat from the mustard seed. The
difficulty is that many buttermakers
do not know the difference
between what is a proper starter and
what is not.

Frinue Feathers.

Quite the latest thing for hat adorn-
ment is fringe feather which seems
to be composed of two ostrich feathers
a black one over white one. Near
the stem end the black one is simply
curled lightly over the white one. For
more than half the length, however,
the strands of the black plume are
knotted just as silk fringe is. This
hanging over the soft snowy white
plume gives a most noticeable effect
It is very pretty, though the black part
looks to be OF fringe until one exam

MIXED POULTRY RAISING.

There win always be some poultry
raisers that will find 1t to their ad
vantage to devote their efforts to the
production of one kind of poultry pro
duct and that too from one breed. But
there will always be more who will
take pleasure in raising variety OF
breeds and producing various things
to market. The specialist will turn
his intensive efforts into money, but
his plant will be idle large part OF
the year. Whether poultryman is to
be a specialist or follow some plan for
putting on the market a variety of
poultry products must depend on the
person, especially on his particular
bias of mind In this matter. The man
that follows mixed poultry raising has
some advantages over the specialist.
He can keep his labor employed all the
year around. This is no small ad-
vantage IL the plant Is large enough TO
require the labor OF one man. More.
over. he can place upon the market
some kim OF produce during every
month of the year. In the spring he
has broilers to sell; in the summer, fas
hens; In the fall, marketable cock.
erels; and the winter eggs. A con.
tinuous revenue will thus be assured.
1t is question how far mixed poultry
raising saould be carried. There are
some poultry men that boast of hav-
ing over 80 varieties OF land and waite:
fowls. and in addition several kinds OF
pigeons. II is no small task t.
educate oneself on the different all
ments to which so many breeds are
subject. In many cases mixed poultry
raising is advisable, but 1t should be
followed with moderation.
