Butter making : an art--a high art
that requires skin and intelligent
management the same as any other
important accomplishment. 1t isn't
just anybody who can make good but
ter any more than good anything
else.
Notifies in butter may be produced
by overchurning. An uneven distri-
button of salt in butter will also pro-
duce mottles, and they may be caus-
ed by washing the butter with water
that is too cold
when working your butter don't let
the tool slip, or the texture of your
butter will be injured 1t may also
be injured by overworking over
churning and overheating.
\ bran feed makes butter hard So
does a feed of legumes or of cotton
seed meal The latter makes the but
ter light colored, while green clover
and other succulent summer feeds
give it rich golden color.
Specks in butter may be made by
overripe cream. Dried cream will al
so do it. and. of course, specks often
result from foreign matter getting in
to the butter.
| Soft butter comes from high tenn
| pera ture. This may be increased by
churning too fast. Gluten feeds like
wise produce soft butter. So does oil
meal.
| 1t costs as much to keep a poor
low grade COW as it does a good pure
bred. and there is a big difference in
favor of the pure bred between the
two. And don't forget it.
Cheap butter is a thing of the past
and dairying is now one of the best
paying lines of agriculture. Get into
the business.
The dairy COW along with the hog,
is mans best friend and will continue
to be as long as time lasts.
Milk distribution in large cities has
become an enormous business. The
number of delivery wagons operated
by one firm sometimes reaches into
the hundreds.-Fort Worth Citizen

Raising Poultry on the Farm.
The incubator and brooder have
worked a revolution IN the poultr!
business. and poultry raising is nov
on a higher plane than in the years
of the distant past.
For years it was thought that poul
try in large numbers could not b.
raised on the farm at a profit. Blu
the incubator and brooder have solv
ed the problem of producing the stool
and the separating OF the flock int
smaller colonies has reduced the loss
es and disease and increased the egl
production. Fowls are now bein:
kept by the thousands on farms AM
small poultry ranches. The farm i

learns can succeed. a Ior or neglect
ed fowls will seldom pay for the foo,
they consume.
Self Oiler Kills Lice.
In order to keep hogs rree from
lice one of their greatest enemies, /

This device is known as sci

that the hogs following their natura
