Make Good Butter.

Farmers who make butter Tor mar

facturers who are stirred by the &C
tivity of the Federal authorities in
making arrests for violations Of the
Federal law regulating the manufac-
ture and sale of adulterated butter
have been calling on H. E. Barnard,
State food and drug commissioner, in
considerable numbers recently for in.
formation as to how to avoid trouble
at the hands of the Federal inspect
ors. The answer invariably is, make
good butter"
Under the Federal law any butter
which contains sixteen per cent. or
more of water is adulterated butter.
A license tax of $500 is required for
it's manufacture; license for dealing
in the material at wholesale costs
$3.50, while a retailers license costs
s48. In addition a tax of ten cents a
pound is imposed on all such adulter-
ated butter manufactured.
sit is easy for the farmer and the
small butter maker to make butter
which will stand the Government
test" said Mr.. Barnard. "The chief
point is to remove all the buttermilk
contained in the butter when the
churning is complete. This can be
done by washing the product repeat.
eddy through clear, cool or cold water
until no traces of the buttermilk re-
main. Then the butter should be
worked, either by a machine worker
or by the old fashioned paddle such
as our grandmothers used to use. By
washing and working any batch OF
butter which a farmers wife may
make may be made as solid and firm
as creamery butter, and will easily
meet all the requirements of the Fed.

MANY farmers wives who have

fair grade of axle grease. Their but.
ter contains so much water that it
would not pass Federal inspection,
and under strict Interpretation of the
law, the maker would be subject to
fine If an attempt were made to sell it
as pure butter. Much of the butter
that comes from the farms to the In.
dianapolis and other markets is
washed through perhaps only one
water, nodded into patties and rushed
to market.
Under the most favorable condi-
lions it will not remain sweet more
| than a few days, because of the but

HANGED if properly treated. At the
same time the danger of the makers
being called to account by the Fed

Moreover, many farmers wives
makes the mistake of churning their
cream before it is ripe enough. The
cream should be permitted to stand
until fully ripened before the butter.

Heavier Farm Horse.

We are more than ever convinced
that many farm horses are entirely
too light for the work required of
them. On nearly rel farm we see
horses of different sizes, and while all
may be good for certain uses, for
heavy work and much of the work on
a farm properly titled, is heavy, the
stronger horses not only do the work
easier than the others, but they do it
more effectively. For instance, sup
pose a farmer wants to use his spring
tooth harrow. When horses are
strong enough to do this work prop
erly the teeth can be put down much
deeper, and consequently they do the
work just that much more effectively.
The same is true with reference to

The hide and flesh Of a young horse
are more tender than those of an old

is likely that they will be sore or ten

If the young horse passes through the
