FOR GOOD BUTTER MAKING.

Work the salt into the butter thor
oughly, but do no work it long enough
to break the grain and make the but
ter salvy.
An English authority on butter max
ing claims that adding one pound of
salt to every gallon of cream imme-
diately after it is taken off the milk
aids in ripening the cream and gives
from Is to 20 per cent more butter
than from cream that has no salt in it.
The buttermilk is, of course, useless,
as it cannot be fed to stock when
it contains so much salt, but its loss
is more than made up by the large
quantity and better quality of butter,
it is claimed. Has anybody tried it
over here?
To prevent the taste of turnips in
the butter from COWS fed on them, a
western creamery practices the fol
lowing method: Put the cream into a
vessel and place in hot water at 200
degrees. When the cream reaches a
temperature of 145 or $50 degrees, set
the cream dish in cold water to cool it.
Experiments seem to show that the
longer the interval between milking
the poorer the milk. The milk is i'm
poverished by the absorption of the
fats after it is secreted.
If milk which has been set for some
time and on which the cream has
partly raised is stirred the cream
never raises again fully, SO there is
a considerable loss of butter from it.

Ayrshire, Guernsey and Jersey. Each
of these breeds has certain charac-
teristics which make it adaptable to
certain conditions, and it shall be the
purpose of this article to enumerate
the qualities of each breed and then
let the reader judge for himself which
breed is best suited to his conditions.
The Jersey is the smallest, and least
adaptable for beef of any of the dairy
breeds. The Jersey gives the richest
milk and the smallest amount of any
at the age of IA months. Jerseys are
noted for the persistence of the dairy
breeds. The Jersey is the earliest
maturing of any; some heifers have
been known to calve before reaching
age at which they yield milk. Cases
are on record where cows have given
milk for years with only one calf.
One COW gave milk for five years
without refreshening but once. Jerseys
will make a greater amount of butter
fat out of the same amount of food
than will any other breed. There
are two things which make it pos
sible for the Jersey to lead in this
respect 1t has the least tendency of
any to convert the food into body fat
instead of butterfat; in the production
of a pound of butterfat it does not
have to produce at the same time
so much of the other constituents of
milk They are fairly good rustlers,
and stand heat better than any other
breed.
The Guernseys are similar to the
Jerseys in size, form and general
characteristics. They are larger,
little coarser and a little more beefy.
The milk is yellower, but not quite
so rich. To offset this, however, they
will give more milk, which makes the
total amount of butterfat practically
the same for the two breeds.
The Ayrshires are about the same
size as the uernseys-namely, 1000
1,10O pounds for mature cows. They
carry more natural flesh than the Jer
seys and Guernsey, which makes them
more suitable for beef, and also for
crossing with beef breeds. Ayrshires
give more but thinner milk than the
Jerseys and Guernseys. Their milk is
especially adapted for retail trade and
cheese making.
The Holsteins are the largest of any
of the dairy breeds. The calves are
large at birth and make good veal.
The Holsteins give by far the most
milk.

HINTS FROM TIE HIRED NAN
Good HustIing Farm Hand Tells OF
Qualities Necessary to Make Him
self Valuable.

An Illinois man taught ne how to
raise and cure sorghum He puts in
two bushels of seed to the acre with
wheat drill This gives a uniform
growth; the plant is small, and the
yield is about as heavy as from a
thinner seeding.
l never worked on farm until I
was Is years old, I had always worked
in beef-packing plant in a large city,
and l suppose that is where l formed
habit of hustling, which has stuck
to me ever since. When l commenced
farming used to listen for the sound
of the whistle at dinner time, but l
soon learned that in the busy seasons
man cannot put in too many hours.
Some of the boys in my neighbor-
hood told me it was a mistake to do
any more than l really had to to hold
my job, but l take notice that | am
now getting $25 per month and my
board and washing all the year round,
while the other fellows get about SIS
and are laid off during the winter.
Farm help is becoming scarcer ev-
cry year, but / think the farmer him
self is largely to blame. Too many
farmers regard the hired man as a
beast of burden, and give him about
the same treatment that they do their
mules. How can farmer expect to
keep a good man if he only pays him
500 per month, makes him sleep in a
hot loft in the house or in the hay
NOV, expects him to work Is hours a
day seven days in the week during
the summer and fires him in the fall ?
l notice that the farmer who keeps
his hired man all the year round and
treats him with the consideration
that is due him generally makes
money and seldom kicks about the
scarcity of labor.
The farmer who leads and does not
drive is the man who gets the most
work and the best service out of the
hired man.
The hired man who does not keep
himself neat and clean has no right to
expect to sit at the family table.
Soap is cheap and the we'll is usual
ly handy.

Holland Plan of Combination.

In some sections many of the best
dairymen are adapting the Holland
plan of combining and hiring men to
visit each herd one day in the month
and test the milk of each COW, thus
giving the owners an idea of which
cows are the ones that are paying for
their keep. This plan is very SEN
sible one and should be encouraged.
The cost is comparatively small, as
the tester boards with the family
while he is doing his work, and is car
ried to the next place the day he has
completed his work.

WHICH BREED IS THE BEST?
PuzzIing Question in Connection with
Dairy Business Unanswered as
All Have Good Qualities.

This question is probably asked
oftener than any other in connection
with the dairy business, and 1t is one
which cannot be answered in word.
There is no best breed for all locali-
ties and even in any particular To-
cality it is oftentimes difficult to say
which is the best breed. In general
it may be said that for dairy pur-
poses any of the dairy breeds are su-
perior to the beef or dualpurpose
breeds; this is true in any or all local
tiles. It cannot be said, however, with
the same degree of positiveness, which
of the dairy breeds is the best. By
dairy breeds are meant, Holstein,
