ANILINE AND ANATTO BUTTER
COLORS In BUTTER MAKING
Experiments
Wisconsin Agricultural College.

A uniform color is one of the de-
sired qualities of commercial butter.
The natural color of milk fat from
which butter is made varies consider
ably during different seasons OF the
year. Some of the causes of these.
variations are the feed. the breed, and
the period of lactatiOn of the cows, Civ,
ing the milk. Butter made when. COWS
are on full pasture feed is of a deeper
yellow color than when the COWS are
given dry feed in the stable. The milk
OF fresh cows often makes more
highly colored butter than that of
shippers and the characteristic yellow
color of the butter of Guernsey cows
is we'll known to most dairymen.
All these factors influence the nat
ural color of butter fat to such an ex-
tent that collection OF samples of
butter from different herds of cows
may show as many shades of yellow
as there are packages of butter. Some
markets prefer more highly -colored
butter than others, but all demand
that the particular standard preferred
shall be uniform color. These pc
culiarities of the markets and of the
COWS have led to nearly universal
custom of adding artificial coloring
matter to butter in order to satisfy
the demands of the trade.
The addition of coloring matter to
butter is therefore, not deception,

ABOUT RANGE
BRED HORSES
BY Prof. John A. Craig.

Some of the horses that seem to be
the most nervous and seem to retain
their fear the longest, when carefully
handled very often make the most
valuable animals. In breaking them
the chief point seems to be to handle
them so as to control them, and in
this way remove that fear which
seems to be inherent in every colt,
without reference to whether they are
range bred or native bred ones, un-
less they are accustomed when quite
young to the things that might cause
them fear later.
am satisfied that the best plan for
preparing the range colts for market
in the interest of the eastern farmer
is to secure them as weanlings, max
ing the selection personally, just as
any horseman would select native
colts. being sure to get those with
good heads and well-set underpinning.
When brought in as weanlings they
are just as susceptible to kindness
and careful management as the native
stock, and there is no reason why
they should not be as valuable on the
market, if not more so, than the ma
tive product l have advertently put
in that qualification. if not more so,
for as far as my observations go 1
have to say that the range horse has
better feet, better hone and more sat-
isfactory quality throughout than the
native horses, considering both in an
average way.
Another feature about the range
product is the bravery which it usual
ly possesses. Once overcome this fear

confidence is gained in the driver such

Because of this manner of selling

fort to meet this demand for vegetable
or anatto butter color.
The dairy department of the Wiscon.
sin Agricultural college has just COM
pleted experiments, under the direc.
ton of E. H. Harrington and Martin
Meyers, to determine the relative mer-
its of the two coloring materials. a
summary of the observations being as
follows:
First, some of the brands of vege-
table butter color now on the market
are weaker than the aniline butter
colors. Nearly twice as much vege-
table color was needed in some cases
to produce the same shade of color in
butter as was given by the aniline
color.
Second, when the change was made
from vegetable to aniline butter color,
some Is years ago, butter makers
were so accustomed to the weaker
anatto color that they added too much
Of the stronger aniline color. This
had tendency to gradually accus.
tom the~ consumer to a more highly
colored butter than formerly had been
made.
The natural color of June butter is a
sufficiently high color and when only
enough vegetable color Is added to
produce this shade there will be no
danger of using so much as to impart
a butter color flavor to the butter.

Sometimes it is necessary to build
a long narrow house in order to make
it fit the lot. You can't hang part
OF your house over your neighbor's
lot without making bad feelings be-
cause neighbors are touchy on this
point. Anyway I would rather build
a twenty foot house on a thirty five
foot lot and have plenty of light and
air, with room on one side of the
house for a good cement walk run
ming back to the kitchen and have
room on the other side for a good
lawn with border of flowers and
shrubbery.
The tendency with a great many
men is to save money by buying a
narrow lot. Property is sold in most
places according to the frontage and
is reckoned at so much per front foot,
so the width of the lot has a good
