The name of 81" is in Hebrew
jod or jot, hand, and the earliest
characters representative of the
sound closely resemble hand with
but three fingers. Little by little
one finger after another dropped off
until only the little finger was left,
and the letter became the smallest
in the alphabet, jot or tittle-that
is, the 81" and its dot being synon-
ymous Of the most insignificant
things that could be described.

At the two remaining corners put num-

As soon rs cream is received ut our
creamery sample is taken Of it fol-
testing and as soon as weighed the
bulk of the cream poured into the
cream vat, writes William SarenSen OF
Nebraska in American AgriculturiSt
The temperature of the room is be
tween 20 and 81 degrees, which, tOgeth
er with a starter. will nearly ripen
the cream in six or seven hours. l
then allow it to he cooled to % to &C
degrees by evening, and then ii riprns
fully during the night One hours
cooling IN the morning will usually
bring it TO churning temperature.
For cooling we use ice directly In
the cream. We crush it fine and keep
the cream stirred until the Ice is all
melted. Cream is stirred every half
hour for the first three or four hours.
In the evening before leaving for the
night | take the temperatures of the
cream and room and the acidity of the
cream and if necessary raise or lower
the temperature so as to have it right
for the next morning.
1t is hard to tell with printers ink
when cream is Just right to churn. 1t
should have Il clean, pleasant. acid
taste and smell and be of smooth con
sStency like sirup, so that it will run
from the stirring kettle with glossy
surface Just before churning we
rinse the cburn with hot and cold WA
ter and finally scald with boiling lime
water and then pour in pure boiling
water The cream Is strained before
it is put in the churn and the coloring
matter calculated, according to the but
ter expected.
Working the Butter.
When the granules of butter are
about the size of wheat grains we
draw off the buttermilk and replace
with the same amount of water at 30
to - degrees If the butter GRANTEES
seem soft we use water ut II degrees.
The chum is then turned few times
and the water removed Salt is added
ut the rate of seven pounds for 100
pounds of butter, and the churn is
again turned for seven or eight min
uteS. Then after a pause of few
minutes it is turned again. We watch
carefully not to overwork the butter
to destroy the grain.
In preparing tubs first wash them
thoroughly then place over steam
jet and scald until heated through.
This makes them water tight and re-
moves all odor and taste from the
wood. After this they are filled with
water and the covers are put on and
they are allowed to soak four or five
hours. These are prepared the pre-
viouS evening, 50 that they are ready
for use when the butter is churned.
Before putting in the butter the tubs
are lined with parchment paper, which |
keeps the butter cleaner and prevents !
the absorption of havors. We pack |
butter while it is pliable, taking four
or five pounds at y time, packing it in |
carefully. Where tubs hold sixty |
pounds the butter must he packed sol |
idly, so as to fill the tub and have 10
air spaces.
