Dairy VS.. Creamery Butter.
By c. McCleIIand, Sunnyside, Wash.

Can dairy butter be made as good
as creamery? Certainly it can, and
of a right ought to be better, because
the dairvman has control of his but
ter from the time the milk is drawn
till it reaches the grocer's counter
And the creamery labors under the
disadvantage of having to rid the cream
so far as he can of the impurities
that careless handlers have allowed
to get in, and it stands to reason that
the dairyman who takes pride in put
ting out a good Grand of butter will
take better care of the milk and CT cam
than the average of those who furnish
cream to the creameries. 1t is less
labor to make good butter than poor.
because it is easier to keep ont, than
to get out, as far as one can the I'M
purities; and rightly handled the
butter will churn, quicker and work
easier than otherwise.
Does it not seem strange that so
many make butter and sell it at 70
and 30 cents a pound, when cream
brings 3SH cents per pound? as dur
ing the past winter. Either make an
article that will sell with creamery
or sell cream and save labor. There
is some gain In the quantity OF butter
over the creamery test but not enough
to make up for the loss of a in price,
so the labor is lost and money be-
sides. The writer's butter is in de-
mand and gives better satisfaction
than creamery at the retail price of
creamery butter, (4O cents). Put
your name on your butter and make
for it a name that will be in demand,
so you can sell at your own price,
and wien there is enough of first
class dairy butter we can crowd the

Don't rlpen your cream in a tin
vessel. The acid will corrode the tin
and make a bad taste, after long use.
Use either earthen or granite ware.
The butter scored above was made
by the use of separator and you will
notice the flavor was lowest in score.
l think | could have raised the flavor
score by gravity setting in running
water. The separator increases the
quantity of butter one-tifth or more
according as conditions are favorable
or unfavorable for gravity setting.

TO MAKE FIRST CLASS DAIRY
Blu TIER


Every one knows that it must be
kept clean all the way from the COW
to the grocer and kept away from bad
odors OF anything that will faint the
milk, cream or butter. Use separa-
tor, or deep setting in cold water if
you can have running water under so
degrees. The latter will make the
best flavor as know from experience.
The separator removes from the cream
a most delicate flavor. When l began
using the separator l was disappoint-
ed in the flavor but kept it to my
self until my customers that L had
furnished to II years, many of them
said to me, 1--WE do not like to
your butter as we'll as before you had
separator" When using the sepa
rator cool the new cream before mix
ing with the old and stir thoroughly
to mix we'll. Keep the cream as near
sweet as you can by setting in cold
running water or In cool cellar, un-
til the seventh milking; never longer
in warm weather. Then warm the
cream, if it is still sweet, to 80 degrees
in winter and place where it will
ripen in "a hours.
In summer no warming may be
needed; depending upon the weather
conditions. Experience will be re-
quired to teach the proper ripeness.
1t must be stirred often while warm
ing and kept from curdling in chunks
as it will if it is little sour. Churn
when it is thick and mild acid at
temperature of 70 to IA degrees Fab

mometer. 1t marks churning at 60
degrees and that is right fol most
feeds; but alfalfa butter is so hard
that it can not be worked we'll under 10
degrees. Use revolving barrel churn
from which all the top comes off
wien open. Draw the buttermilk off
and wash with water warmed to ~
degrees in cold weather unless churn-
ing is done by the fire. Wash quick
ly by moving the churn back and
forth and draw off the water before
the butter is too warm. Salt only
with Worcester dairy salt, handful
for every three pounds estimated
butter. Work in the churn allowing
the brine TO drain off at the outlet.
Be sure your churn has no fixtures
inside to destroy the grain and has
an opening large enough for conven-
fence in working. Work until evenly
sailed.
Use mold like biscuit cutter
that you can press down on the butter
as it lies in the churn, having first
pressed the butter smooth and firmly
on the bottom of the churn. The
mold should have follower to force
the butter out. Hold the butter in
the mold with the ladle while raising
it from the churn. Cut the butter
off even by showing the end of the ladle
over the open side of the of the mold.
Then press it out on the parchment
paper by pressing on the handle Of the
follower. You will find this kind OF
butter mold much better and easier
to use after time than those with
hinges, but you will seldom find them
in market.
My reason for writing this is to
show that the best dairy butter is
equally as good as creamery; and
now in proof, will offer my score

the dairy school of the University of

FEW ARRESTS ON
Wild WEST DAY
YESTERDAYS CROWD ESPECIAL
" WELL 5EHAVED-PoLIcE
HAVE LITTLE TROUBLE AND
ONLY TWO ARRESTS WERE
MADE DURING THE DAY.

Thursday was remarkable in the fact
that only two arrests were made the
whole day. Considering the fact that
it was wild west day and there were
many outsiders in the city. the police
feel that the day was most unusual
The usual following of pickpockets that
trail along with the big shows were
not in evidence and there were no re-
ports of dlsorderly conduct on the
streets nor at the circus grounds.
All Of the performers with the Buffa-
10 Bill shows were orderly and courte-
Gus, which was another noticeable fea-
ture. This fact has been remarked up
on by cafe proprietors in the city whose
places were patronized by the mem
bers of the company.
The two arrests that were made
were local men, and the man who was
run in for vagrancy was of the ordi-
nary type frequently seen in the city's
railroad yards during the summer
months.

Fargo Nurse Killed

was killed in the wreck of the Grand
Trunk road on Wednesday night, de-

Swinger.
Miss ouestad left this city last
Tuesday morning in response to tel

that a nurse be secured in this city

Colonel Cody is a national and a
historic character, so we'll identired
with public life that he is the gree t.

appear TO rest lightly on him and he
participates in the performance with
apparently the same zest he did a de-
cade or two ago.
His wild west show and the far east
show of Pawnee Bill make a great
combination. There were many in

face title only The crops are none to
good and it is important that the set
tiers set title to their land. as in many
instances they need to borrow some
money upon their land in order to help
themselves.
1.-THE matter as to whether there
is coal or not under the land can be
easily investigated at some time in the
future, and then if there is not found
evidence of coal in sufficient quantities
to warrant the government to continue
the reservation as to coal, the reserva-
ton can be released and an apparent
cloud upon the title of the settlers
land can be absolutely removed.
1T would seem as though an order
upon these lines would be of great help
to the settlers in the western part of
trD~< state and would at the same time
conserve and protect the government
in any coal deposits of value which
may be beneath the surface"
