curing another industry to locate in
that town. A car load of machinery
arrived last week and has been install
ed, for the Swiss Cheese Co. Previ-
Gus to moving here the factory was To-
Gated at Marysville, but desired to get
closer to the Seattle market as their
business was increasing very fast and
they need quick transportation to get
their breakfast cheese to the market,
they are now considering putting an
automobile on to run between O'Brl-
en- and Seattle for that purpose. They
manufacture German, French and
Swiss cheese and now are using about
5000 pounds of milk daily which will
be largely increased in the future.

in the Northwest to help in improving
agricultural methods by educating the

coming into the states farther west.
The train will have five cars, equipped

Good Butter on the Farm.

added when the cream is ready to
ripen. This process may be carried
on by saving buttermilk from one
churning to the next. The buttermilk
should be kept very cold in the mean
time and should not be used If it de-
velops any bad fiavors.
The churning process is particular
one. A good churn is the first essen
tial and for the dairy farm no kind is
better than the common barrel churn.
BEFORE using it should be thoroughly
scalded and then cooled by rlnslng
with cold water The cream should
be brought to the churnlng tempera-
ture, a temperature such that the but
ter will come in from thirty to forty
five minutes, and then strained
through a fine meshed strainer. I'm
less carefully strained, dried PARTICLES
of cream will pass into the churn and
be Incorporated into the butter, and
as these PARTICLES are not colored by
the butter they will form white specks
in the finished product. The coloring
if any is used, should then be added
and the churning process begun.
The churn should be stopped when
the granules are about the size of
grains of wheat or slightly larger,
and the buttermilk should then be
drawn off. The butter is then wash
ed in two wash waters both about the
same temperature of the buttermilk.
When the second wash water is drawn
off the butter should still be in the
granular form and the salt may then
be added at the rate Of about one
ounce of salt to the pound of butter
fat Revolve the churn a few times
TIC thoroughly distribute the salt and
then allow to stand until the salt is
dissolved, ordinarily about onehalf
hour. The butter is then removed
from the cEurD to the worker, prefer
ably the common lever worker, and
worked until it has a good, compact
body so that when piece is broken
it will show "A grain like a piece of
broken steel. OverwoIking Injuries
the body of the butter and should be
carefully avoided.
The butter should be put in a neat
package and placed on the market on
its merits. Have a name for your
dairy, secure neatly printed wrapper
} bearing this name and if your butter
is tirst-class it will soon create de-
mandfor itself and you will have no
trouble in selling it for from two to
five cents a pound above the market
price.

The greater amount of butter man
ufactured at the present time is made
in the creameries, where the product
is handled on large scale. This is
especially true in sections where
dairying is the principal industry.
In many sections of the Inland En-
pire, however, dairving IS only
small item and many of the farmers
do not keep enough COWS to pay them
to make frequent trips to town to de-
liver their cream and the work or
making the butter falls on the busy
housewife. For this reason it would
seem that some information along the
lines of practical butter making would
be acceptable.
The first essential in the making OF
good butter is supply of good milk
and cream. The milk, as soon as
possible after it is drawn form the
udder OF the COW, should be SeparaC-
ed: the warm skim milk may then be
used for feeding calves and pigs, and
the cream, which should contain at
least 80 per cent of butterfat, should
he cooled to at least fifty degrees
Fahrenheit as soon as possible. DO
not add warm cream to that already
cooled but cool each lot by itself be-
fore adding to that previously separat-
ed. Cream handled in this way
should keep sweet until enough has
been saved for a churnmg, at least
three DAYS. Dc not add fresh cream
TO that intended for churning within
"a hours of the time that the cream is
TO be churned. Warm the cream to
about 70 degrees lido not guess at the
temperature. but use a thermOmeter)
and hold this temperature until 1t mas
a glossy, granular appearance, ana
has distinct sour taste. The cream
should again be cooled to fifty degrees
and held for at least two hours before
churning. If it is impC sslble to Sc
cure good favored butter from cream
handled in this way, take quart OF
milk from COW that has recently
freshened and set in a warm place
until sour. then add to the cream IN
proportion of one pint of sour milk to
one gallon of cream. This should be
