Milk and Butter Notes

An excellent means Of keeping but
ter cool is practiced by an Iowa lady
who makes butter for the home trade.
She has a milk tank eight feet long,
three feet wide and ten inches deep.
This tank is usually kept about half
full Of water. She keeps the butter In
q jar that is about eighteen inches high
and which she sets in the water tank.
Out of duck or canvas she makes a
cap or cover that slips over the top of
the jar and down two or three inches
below the water like telescope. Cap
Hilary attraction keeps the canvas over
the top Of the jar always wet, and
evaporation keeps the interior of the
jar cool.
This plan should only be followed
where the water in the tank Is changed
twice a day and when the interior OF
the tank itself is kept perfectly clean.
There will then be no danger Of the
water taken up by the cloth cover be-
ing dirty.
Keep the Cream Clean.
Proper working of butter helps it
very much. You must get the milk
and water out or you cannot have good
butter But working is not everything.
The way Of treating the cream before
hand and also of churning is just as
important Much milk and cream are
ruined by being set where they ABSORB
odors. Nothing is more important TO
the buttermaker than to have clean,
sweet, dry place in which the cream
and milk are kept.
An DAT Straw Fallacy.
Some butterinakers have an idea that
eating oat straw by the cows causes
the butter to be long coming. There
seems to be no good reason for think
ing so. One man reports that he had
fed only oat straw to his Jersey COW
for four months, and in that time the
butter was long coming but once. The
cow had been giving milk, too, for four
teen months. He says the butter is
usually worked and churn washed in
forty-five minutes from beginning TO
churn.
Essentials to Good Butter.
Use plenty Of boiling water in scald-
ing out the pans and jars. Then let
them have a good airing before using.
Plenty Of hot water and pure air are
essentials in the production Of pure
butter. Another essential is a good,
clean, cool place to keep the milk and
cream. Good butter can never De
made from cream kept in a warm room
that smells of filth and is filled with
flies.
A Dairy Pointer.
To make good butter you must have
good cream. Figs are never gathered
from thistles; neither is sweet, clean
butter made from sour. tainted creana.
Wise PrecautiOn.
Keep cloth stretched over the wire
strainer. 1t will save you the embaE-
rassment of seeing the visitor pick .
hair or speck out Of the butter.

Leave Out the Milk.

Remember it takes cream and not

FoR FIFTEEN cnNT COTTON.
Movement to secure Pledges from the
 FnrsneYM

Columbia, S. C., Nov. t7.-Secretary Weston of the South Carolina division of the Southern Cotton Association in an interview today said:
 To-day am in receipt of instruc- tfons from headquarters in Atlanta to institute movement toward securing pledges from the farmers for the cot ton which they now have on hand for IS cents.
 We know that there Is a most ac- tive demand for dry goods and that the mills have not the cotton neces- sary to run them to fill these contracts The association considered II cents a fair but not unreasonable price for cotton, but in view of the very aggres- sive campaign that has been instituted against cotton in the last few days it would be absurd for the Southern Cot ton Association to stand by and see the producers of cotton throughout the South despoiled of millions of dollars.
 we must convince the spinners of the world that the price of cotton Is to be fixed by the producer and not by the speculator.
 we have the money on hand and propose to pay these canvassers for their work"
