TO MAKE SUPERIOR BUTTER
Several Essential Suggestions for
Dairymen That Insure Success
in Quality and Flavor.
u}y BESSIE l.. PUTNAMD

Butter of the best quality is OBJ
tained only when the cream is churn.
ed twice week though product
of fair quality may be secured from
a weekly churning il extra care is
taken of the cream during the gath
ering process,
1t must be kept in well ventilated
cellar or room free from objection
able odor If vegetables are kept
in the same compartment see to it
that there are no decaying members
among them, Cabbage is especially
prone to affect the flavor of milk or
butter.
If you use ensilage never feed the
silage until after the milking is done
and the milk cared for. Milk read
lily absorbs odors and the butter will
be of inferior quality as a result
Always scald pals, strainers and
separators in fall and winter, with as
much care as in midsummer. Becatise
the milk does not quickly sour is no
reason why vigilance in this direction
should be relaxed The bitter odor is
bound to creep in unless this detail is
carefully attended to-
If the butter is hard to come keep
the cream in warm room 12
hours before churning This is much
more satisfactory than putting in hot
water to raise the temperature of the
cream
When packing butter away, scald
all the crooks nd pals thoroughly
One that has had rancid butter in
can seldom be cleansed sufficiently
to keep butter well afterward; though
If it is necessary to use such a crock
perhaps the best method of sweeten
ing it is to fill it with clay for short
time. This soil has the power to
draw out Objectionable iiavors as
nothing else can do.
When packing butter for the win
| ter months always use the best of salt
and cover with a cloth well sprinkled
with salt. Avoid coloring material
Strive to keep the cream at the
! proper temperature before and durinf
the process Of churning and artificia
! tints will not be required
More butter is spoiled by being
| over, rather than undeT-worked.
Don't churn when you are cooking
onions and then be surprised if the
butter is off" If the process is car
ried on in any part of the kitchen /
is necessary to have the air freeC
from other odors at the time
Custer County Republican., 1910-12-01
The Size of the SiIo.

The size Of the silo should, of
course, depend upon the number of
cattle to be kept. The diameter
should be such that layer of at least
one and one.half inches will be
taken off the top daily, in feeding, to
insure fresh slage, as It spoils if
left exposed to the air more than "a
hours.
A COW will eat about one cubic foot
or about 40 pounds, day, At this
rate, to feed cattle six months, the di.
ameter of 3Ofoot silo should be such
as to allow about five square feet of
surface for each COW. Two small 81
los are better than one large one, be-
cause the silage will always be in
better condiu \ as it is used off the
top faster.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many Cathartics Tend to
Cause Injury to the
Bowels

If you are subject to consti-
patton, you should avoid strong
drugs and cathartics. They
only give temporary relief and
their reaction is harmful and
sometimes more annoying than
constipation. They in no way
effect a cure and their tendency
is to weaken the already weak
organs with which they come
in contact.
We honestly believe that we
have the best constipation
treatment ever devised. Our
4 faith in it is so strong that we
sell it on the positive guarantee
that it shall not cost the user a
cent if it does not give entire
satisfaction and completely

preparation is called Rexall
