There has been "a big increase I'm the
amount of the output of oleomarga-
rine during the past fiscal year, which
ended June 30. The increase over the
previous year is over Is per cent. The
reason for this is not hard TO find.
First is the high price Of butter that
has prevailed during the year, being
from 3 TO cents higher than has been
known for several years. Then the
poor quality of much of IL has also
had it's influence.
A feature I'm the situation that would
make the report look better from the
dairyman's standpoint Is the large
amount that has been exported dur
Ing the year As long as the price OF
butter continues TO advance or hold
where it is there is no need for alarm
over this increase IN the output OF
oleomargarine. 1t emphasizes the fact
that dairymen must make more and
better butter Chicago Dairy.

MILK AND BUTTER.

That the natural tendency Of things
at this time of the year is TO incor-
porate too much water In The butter

ers given by Professor G. l.. Mckay
in Dairy Progress Repeated tests that
he has made demonstrate that butter
makers are quite liable to incorporate
too much water. lie thinks locality
and feed have an important bearing in
this matter Churnng with the churn
two-thirds or more full and at high
temperature with large granules has a
tendency to increase the percentage Of
moisture. Trying to approach the l6
per cent limit is dangerous operation
Carrying Forward the Starter.
When an exceptionally good starter
is secured il can he propagated from
day TO day by adding small portion
of II To a quantity of sweet skim milk,
enough milk being used to make the
necessary amount of starter for the
cream to he churncd. This controls
the souring Of the milk just the same
as the addition OF starter to the cream
controls the souring of the cream.
Where one is churning every day this
is very good method for carrying
forward the starter.-E III. Webster.
The Color Of Milk.
The ideal flavor Of milk might per
haps be regarded as a negative rather
than a positive flavor. 1t should be
slightly saline and sweet, with no aft
er taste whatever. The color of milk
plays more important part in getting

Exnort Cheese.

Four great principles laid down by
Secretary Barr Of the Ontario Dairy
mems association for the making OF
export cheese are sweet, clean, whole
some milk, cool curing, a clean man
and clean factory. High grade ex-
port cheese cannot be produced with
out these essentialities. Keeping rec
ords of operations is very necessary.
Acidometer must be used in determin-
ing acidity. The amount OF acid will
vary decidedly in different localities
and kind OF feed supplied the herd.
The wire curd knife Is preferable
The curd must be cooked according 10
acidity. The cooking should never ex-
ceed GO to 60 degrees. The aim in
producing export stock is to have a
cheese that IL meaty and smooth. pos
sesslng a silky fine texture.

Our good results in the exclusive

Through the proper mating with such

Is bull worth $4,000? It's not an
easy matter 10 show in dollars and
cents just how bull is worth $1,000
A great many men realize that II pays
TO have good sire at the head OF
their herd and are willing TO pay 500
to $3.50. A herd of COWS that produce
300 pounds OF butter fat year re-
quires good blood at it's head to keep
up that yield.
1t takes as much room 10 care for
200 pound COW as a 300 pound one and
costs about the same for feed and la
Dor. Roughly speaking, there is a diff
ference in proht of 100 pounds of fat
per year, which is worth from $40 TO
$50. If COW that will produce 200
pounds OF fat in a year is worth $50 a
COW that will produce 800 pounds il
worth 500.
If this statement be true, the qUes-
ton is, How much is n sire worth that
will produce such cows If a scrub that
will get 200 pound cows is worth S25?
A good sire ought to get on the average
twenty-five heifers year. Now. if
these heifers Will produce $50 TO $25
apiece more butter per year than those
from the scrub bull it means an in
creased income Of $500 TO S625 per
year, or the interest on $4,000.
The sire is getter OF a crop of
calves each year, and his blood is
handed down TO the coming genera
tons through his daughters and sons.
which of course makes it impossible
TO estimate exactly his value. 1t is an
open question whether the ordinary
breeder can afford TO pay $4,000 or
