MOISTURE IN BUTTER.
Maximum Of Water Content Fixed
BY the Government and Adopted
by Many Municipalities.

Some time ago the government made
. ruling on the water content allowed
in butter and put 16 per cent. as the
highest. Recently butter dealers in Chi
cago have had their attention called to
this matter by the government officials
having such matters in charge. Some
creamery butter was found in Chicago
having a water content Of "a per cent.
Some ladle butter and some whey butter
also came under the ban of the law. It
will be we'll for all makers of butter for
the general market to take heed to this
ruling, as they may otherwise subject
themselves to heavy fines. II butter is
made that has too much water in it, it
will be far better to keep it on the farm
and consume it there than send it to
market. Butter that is churned at from
50 to 65 degrees probably never has a
moisture content in excess OF that al
lowed by the law. 1t is far otherwise
with butter churned at say 80 degrees,
az the higher the churning point the
rreater the amount of water incorpor-
ated. In the past some butter makers
have taken advantage of this fact to
work into their butter an unusual
amount of water. Hence laws were
made establishing a maximum standard
for the moisture content.-Farmers Re-
view.

Parisian French.

The sound of the French language
possesses variations almost esoteric
IN the hidden nature of their being
and-according to the Parisian-these
are everlastingly beyond the possibil-
ity of imitation by the American. Pol
Plancon said once to an American
who has lived ten years in Paris and
speaks French to perfection, in the
American colony: your French
causes me unspeakable agony. The
matter of fact isA no American can
ever learn to speak French. 1t is
aeither in your soul nor in your vocal
organs. Penelope (the ten-year-old
daughter of the American, born in
Paris and living there uninterruptedly
all her life) is just barely tolerable in
French There is something in the
United States so antagonistic to the
utterance of perfect French that after
I am over there six months l come
back to Paris with my language
marred, and I make it a point to get
back as soon as I can in order not to
suffer permanent loss of utterance."-

FARM BUTTER MAKING.
Unless Temperature of Cream Is Prop.
erly Controlled a Good Article
Cannot He Made. IL:

The time Of the year is now here when
it requires the best skill and convent
ences for making high grade butter. Dur
ing the early spring and late fall the
climate in Illinois is almost perfect for
making butter. The early winter wealth
er is such that it is difficult to control
the temperature Of the cream and uD''
less 1t is properly controlled a fine and
uniform article cannot be made.
The time is past when it will pay for
the ordinary farmer to make butter uu-
less he has practically ALI of the conve-
niences found in an ordinary creamery.
Cream should not be held more than two
days, and better butter is made when
churned every day. The important
point during winter is to have the cream
properly ripened before churning, and
the ripening should not take more than
20 TO "a hours. No rule can be made as
to the temperature at which cream
should be held, but it can easily be deter
mined by experience. In my dairy room
in ordinary winter weather, if the cream
is warmed to so degrees one morning,
it will be all right to churn it the next
morning.
When separator is used, the cream
should be churned at lower tempera-
ture than cream from Cooley or shotgun
cans. Separator cream should be
churned at about So degrees, or even low
er if the churn and room are very warm.
Better have cream little too warm and
properly ripened when ready to churn
than not to have it cured or ripened, be-
cause it is an easy matter to Use ice and
cool it properly. 1t is very difficult
matter to warm half riperea cream
without injuring the grain and flavor of
the butter. 1t is also very difficult to
warm ripened cream (Which is always
sour) II It has fallen much below the
churning point.
Every buttermaker should have a
properly constructed cream va. to have
any uniformity in holding the tempera-
lures. OF course there are many other
things that are necessary In making fine
butter, but be sure and watch the temper
allure of your cream during cold wealth

HINTS FOR COWKEEPERS.

The COW, as we'll as any other farm
stock, will pay a better profit if treated
kindly.
A.cow is profitable just as long as she
gives a profitable return for the food
she consumes.
The best cream raising can only be
secured by keeping the milk sweet as
long as possible.
To very considerable extent the mat
ter of notable performances is wholly
an individual function.
Loss of flesh and shrinEage of milk fol-
lows neglect, and starvation follows ra-
tons of improper food.
A combination of bran, oil meal and
corn meal makes one Of the best rations
for dairy COWS in winter.
Garget most often sets in after calv-
ing, and this is nearly always due to a
failure to get the udder dry.
Milk regularly twice Gay. If a COW
does not give sufficient amount of milk
to warrant this, let her 60 cry.
The dairy COW is a Matchmaking me-
dunn and should be kept in the best
working condition, which Is one Of
quiet.
Many Of the cows kept on the farm
cannot, either by feed or care, be induced
to Weld profitable amount OF milk The
sooner this class is fattened and mar
keted, the better for the profits Of the
farm.
The best foods to make blood are the
best for milk production, and the COW to
make good milk needs good blood. That
can best and cheapest be made by gener-
Gus. comfortable treatment comfortable
quarters. pure air, pure water and whole
some, nutritious food.-Kimballs Dairy

spikes and nails, and the next day be-
gan to erect his silo, and in two more
days the silo was completed ready to
receive the silage corn, remarks
writer in Hoard's Dairyman.
We see no reason why this silo is
not perfect si1o in every particular,
and as good in every way as one cost
ing several hundreds Of dollars. and
which would take weeks to erect. When
a perfect silo can be built as cheaply
and as quickly as was this one, we see
no reason why anybody may not have
silage if he wills. This style OF silo is
the octagon shape, or eight-sided, and
ceiled perpendicular with two thick
nesses Of inch hemlock boards with felt
paper between. A silo, II feet in diam
eter and "a feet high, will not cost more
than $25, foundation included. Such
silo calls for 1000 feet of good hem
lock boards, 900 feet 2xI's, with felt
and nails. The expense Of roof and
foundation will be the same as for any
other style Of silo.
A low foundation Of stone and &C.
ment is first built, then the stills are
placed on and the corners nailed. Then
the boards are set up at the corners
and plumbed with level that works
vertically. One man holds the joist on
the outside where it belongs, placed
two feet apart and nailed from the in
side. The joists are spiked together
at the corners as the work progresses,
fer the first IL feet; then the upper sec
ton is continued in the same way. A
number of joists can be sawed with a
crosscut saw, by punching them to-
gether, thus ensuring even lengths. 1t
will be seen that the joists and boards
at the corners all have the same slant,
or angle of As degrees. This style of
silo saves latching with iron hoops, or
the tedious method of making wooden
hoops for the round silo. Each range
Of octagons forms the hoops, and tho
octagon avoids corners, and has every
advantage that the circle has.

A Maneer for Each Cow.

We much prefer separate manger for
zach COW. We have had opportunity to
observe number of stables where there
was one continuous manager and have
vet to see one of this kind where each
COW got all that was intended for her
and no more or less. The long-necked
COW. reaches over and helps herself at
the expense of her neighbor, and when
her. is gone calmly eats her own. 1t re-
minds as of the time years ago we saw
a herd of elephants feeding on hay at
Barrun's in Madison Square garden,
New Fork. Not single elephant save
the ore on the end was eating from his
own pile, but all feeding at tie expense
of their right-hand neighbor.-H. q.
