Wheat Bran For Milk Makinu.


Men frequently misjudge the value
Of feeds by their density. Thus there
is strong opinion among farmers
that cornmeal IS better for milk max
ing than bran. 1t is heavy and has a
beautiful color and the COW owner as
sociates it with rich cream But the
fact is, bran is, in the main, more val
liable for milk making than is corn
meal, in spite Of the attractive ap-
pearance of cornmeal. The stomach
of the COW is better suited to take
care of bran than of cornmeal. be-
cause it is more bulky. The COW was
made for the purpose of using up Just
such waste products as bran would
be without farm animals to consume
it. And bran cannot be judged by it's
lightness. The question of using or
not using bran is one that must be
decided on it's price, compared with
the prices of other like feeds. At the
same price as corn it is far more
profitable to be used for the making
of milk. Its protein content is high,
but not so high that the digestive ap:
paratus of the animals will be injured
by it. American farmers should not
permit a pound of bran to go across
the waters, but should buy and feed
every pound of it, thus not only max.
ing the profit that may be made out of
it, but saving the fertility for their
land; for the fertilizing qualities of
bran are considerable.

Wanted to Be Convinced.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie receives each

for his autographs. The requests, as a
rule, are written in a dull and COM
monplace way, but now and then one
comes that causes Mr.. Carnegie to
smile. He was much amused at such
a one little while ago. 1t was from
schoolgirl of thirteen, and, after ask
ing for an autograph in the usual way,
she ended with these willy words:
If you think that this request is I'M
warranted on my part, please send
your refusal in your own handwriting
and with your own signature. so that I
may know it is authentic. "-Cassell's

Cream in the Pantry.

It is common in our farm houses to
set the cream in the pantry or in the
cellarway, where all kinds of food
are also kept. 1t is safe to say that
cream cannot be set in such places
and give good butter. Some people
may like butter that tastes of dough-
nuts, pies, cookies, limburger cheese,
onions, celery, cloves, cinnamon,
oranges, apples and the like, but most
people like to have the aroma that
belongs to butter rather than to the
pantry. Probably the one greatest OBJ
stacle to getting good flavor in farm
made butter is this one of the setting
Of milk to rise in the pantry. 1t is
such firmly settled custom that it
will be with difficulty broken up, in
spite of the fact that much such but
ter has to be sold to the poorest mar
ket and at not above ten cents per
pound. The nose of the housewife is
SO accustomed to the smells Of the
pantry that she never thinks of them
when she is putting her milk away to
undergo the process of cream raising.
Cream in the pantry should be abol-
ished, and in it's place should come
cream in the cream room, a place set
aside for this operation and sealed
against the entrance of all odors that
will give the butter a disagreeable
taste. The woman that does that is
very likely to get great reputation
as a maker of fine butter.

Temperature Of churning.s

III Temperature Of churning.y '=:I ".
. Many a farmers wife spells her
butter by churningN at too high q
temperature. The result is that the
product of her churn is greasy and
poor In quality and keeps for but a
short time. Some people also put hot
water into the. cream to make the but
ter come quicker. The result of this
rise in temperature is to destroy the
grain and at the s me time incorpo-
rate with the butter a great deal Of
casein, which is the part that goes
to make the body of cheese. This but
ter is increased in quantity also by
the incorporation of an unusual
amount of water. If the butter is
made when the temperature of. the
cream is at, say, 80 degrees, the kind
of butter will result that if it came
under the eyes of United States dairy
inspectors would be excluded from the
market and the sellers thereof fined
for selling butter with water con-
tent above the legal 16 per cent. The
woman that wants to make good but
ter must do her churning when the
cream is at temperature of not
above IS degrees. 1t would be better
to churn at as low as fifty degrees,
but this is rather hard for people
that have to churn by hand. The peo-
pie that try to work the so-called two
minute churns frequently have to
raise the temperature of the cream
to about 80 degrees before getting the
results that have been advertised.
That is, the time of churning is reg
ulated to some extent by the tempera'
ture. Every maker of butter should
have a thermometer. One can>be pur'
chased for twenty cents, and, this be-
ing the case, there is no reason why
every person should not have the adj
vantage of knowing the temperature
of their cream at churning time.

The Hand Separator to Stav.

There has been war between the
men that believe in hand separators
for farm use and the men that believe
that all milk should be hauled to the
creamery. The latter declare that as
good butter cannot be made from
gathered cream as from the cream
taken. from fresh milk brought in.
This may be so; but one thing should
not be lost sight of, and that is that
the hand separator has come to stay.
and the argument of whether it is a
good thing may as we'll be discon-
tinued. The time will be better spent
if put upon the questions that have
come with it. Every situation has it's
own problems and every new inven-
ton brings lot Of new problems. It
was only natural that the hand sen.
arator should have its new phases and
It's new questions. Some of these are
hard to settle. The hardest is the
one relating to the freshness of the
cream when, delivered to the butter
maker. This problem will be- settled
as have all other questions before it.
