Farm Butter Making.

'ioScu OiehSi W SiHSie pun Soh-
dition, or perhaps several of them.
By carefully carrying out the fol
lowing conditions, tirst-class butter
should be produced:
Cream - Hand-separator cream
produces better butter than that
separated by any other method.
The deep can (shotgun cam, sur
rounded by cold water, is second
best: pans and crooks are third
best; and the water -dilution method
comes last.
The cream should be kept in as
nearly sweet condition as possible
until enough has been gathered for
a churning. This should then be
soured or ripened. To keep the
cream sweet, while gathering
enough for churning, keep the
can containing it surrounded with
cold water, or perhaps, better, hang
it in the well. To ripen, place
where it will become somewhat
warmer (at Il temperature of rs to
50 degrees), until it is sour enough; !;
then cool down to a temperature of
from 30 to 80 degrees, which is
right for churning. Let it stand
at this temperature for an hour or
SO before churning, if possible.
This will cause the butter to come
in better condition.
Cream that is being ripened
should be thoroughly stirred sew
eral times before it is ready for
churning.
1t is often advisable to save some
of the buttermilk of one churning
to be used as starter (the same
as yeast in bread making) for the
next batch of cream. Add small
amount of this old buttermilk to
the sweet cream which has been
gathered for the new churning,
thoroughly stir it, and it will ripen
very much more readily. Care
should be exercised to keep this
old buttermilk in as good condition
as possible. This method of cream
ripening will be found excellent
for the winter months.
One of the main causes for hav-
ing to churn from one to five hours
is either too warm or too cold tenn
perature of the cream. With ii
temperature of from 80 to 90 de-
grees, butter should be produced
i'll from 30 to 10 minutes, providing
the other conditions are right.
Use ii good dairy thermometer.
Churning Strain all cream into
the churn. This will remove all
clots and particles of curd. and
there will be no danger of white
specks in the butter.
Do not fill the churn over one
third to one-half full. Give the
cream room for agitation, which in
sures quick churning Turn the
churn just fast enough to give the
cream the greatest amount of agi-
tation.
Coloring-In order to make
uniformly colored butter for the
entire year, some color must neces-
sarily be used. Very little will be
required during the spring and
summer months when the COWS are
getting green feed. During the
fall and winter more color will be
required. No harm is done by
moderately coloring butter with
good commercial color. Colored
butter can be sold on the market
for IA very much better price than
that not colored. White butter is
not nearly so appetizing as that
which contains color. The color
should be added to the cream in
the churn before starting to churn.
When to Stop Churning
butter should be gathered until the
grains become about one-half the
size of a grain of wheat. Then
draw off the buttermilk through

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
Is before the painter applies It, The
man who puts up the money should,
not shirk the responsibility OF choos-
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker. the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting q bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
Job impossible. b
