tudes are thus formed, so that sim
gle drop of the fluid will contain mil
lion bacteria. The butter maker is
expected to follow directions for use
of any particular culture. The meth
cd employed as a rule is to propagate
in a small quantity of sterilized milk
the bacteria. Then a certain per cent
of this milk, or starter" is added to
the cream. After the cream stands at
certain temperature for certain
length of time it contains enough OF
the Tactic acid to warrant churning.
In large creameries, where much de-
ponds on the flavor of the butter, the
starter becomes more necessary, for,
with a great variety of cream, there
are liable to be many communicating
and damaging bacteria planted. II
the cream be pasteurized, thus Killing
a great number of these inferior or OBJ
jectionable cultures, and a pure cul-
ture or favorable culture added, then
the new culture will quickly predomi-
nate and thus affect the entire body OF
cream.
In home dairies the cream is gen.
orally soured by simply allowing 1t
TO stand for a certain length of time
at a certain temperature. The sourlng
bacteria always found in normal milk
thus develop until they form enough
Tactic acid to turn the milk or cream
into a condition that we call sour"
This same acid coagulates the casein
and makes what we call "clabbered"
or sour cream. Where pure Tactic
ferments are produced, large num-
Der can be supplied to the cream at
once. thus fastening the souring pro-
cess, which process seems to AFFECT
the flavor of the butter as it imparts
to it those particular quick f1avors
which the public likes in butter. But
ter made from sweet cream lacks this
ton or quickness in flavor, so 1t is
that sweet cream butter has been I'M
popular in the markets of the world.
With the new process of making but
ter from fresh milk by the machine
known as butter accumulation, the
starter is added to the butter and
worked in much the same as salt In
this way flavor is added to the butter
made from sweet cream.

the churn a few more turns. The
butter is then lifted from the churn

it could be done in the old way. We
use the two and five-pound earthen
jars to pack it in as our butter is all

Makino Butter on the Farm.

Buttermaking on the farm suggests
very particular work, if the product is
to be frst-class and that is the only
kind of butter there is any pleasure
or profit in making. We don't say this
is how it ought to be done, but simply
refer to what we are doing. We keep
Jersey COWS and feed them grain and
milk them in the barn every day IN
the year. We do not depend on pas
ture, although they have about four
teen acres of new land to run on,
which is too stumpy to cultivate. we
raise oats and peas, sown together,
and sweet corn for summer and early
fall feed with clover hay, sllage ana
oat and pea hay for winter roughage
and some of the following grains:
Wheat bran, corn and cob meal, DUCK
wheat middlings and cotton seed meal,
all mixed together. We feed seven
pounds of grain for each pound OF but
ter the cow produces.
Taking the milk from fifteen COWS
we run it through a separator which
is run bv a gasoline engine; the cream
can is placed Immediately in a tub
of cold water, which, in winter cools

we put some ice in the water. When
enough cream is secured, which is
about eight gallons, we set the large
ripening can containing the cream
which has been thoroughly mixed, into
a tub about three or four inches larger
all around than the cream can. In the
tub we put hot water and with the
dairy thermometer in one hand ana
a paddle that reaches to the bottom
of the cream can stir the cream stead

the cream can quickly out Of the hot
water and stir few minutes longer
and add about two quarts OF butter
milk for a starter. We have a large
double board box into which l place
the cream can, which keeps 1T about
the right temperature for twelve or
fourteen hours, when it is of glossy
smooth appearance and has a pleasant
acid smell and taste.
We use a twenty-gallon barrel churn,
into which the cream is strained
through a wire strainer. A little color
is used all the year to keep the butter
always the same color, winter and
summer. When the butter is in grains
about the size of wheat the buttermilk
is drawn off. and when a couple or
handsful of salt has been added, is
poured onto the butter in the churn.
The cover is replaced and the churn
is given two or three revolutions and

THE DAIRY
Beware of Creamery Promoter.

Several times in past issues The
Ranch has mentioned the fact that
many creameries are established by
the creamery promoter, or better call
him the creamery shark" and you are
nearer correct. Almost every time a
community permits itself to be taken
in by these glib-tongued promoters"
they soon learn that they have bought
at lot of worthless antiquated mach1n-
cry and have had thrown into the bar

than it should and that was entirely
unsuited for the purpose, or else was
not properly arranged for creamery
The aim of these men who go about
the country and. work up coop
erative creamery" is first to sell lot
of creamery machinery that is out OF
date or so cheaply constructed as to
be worthless, and second to get their
money for the completed creamery
then make themselves scarce. We have
come across one community that re-
fused to be taken in by such a sharp
er, and we will let the paper In that
community detail the circumstances.
We refer to Riverside, up in Okanogan
county, and the Okanogan valley Ar
gus tells of the attempt a promoter
made to fOist on the people there d

have been valueless. Near RlVers1oe
