JERSEY BULLS ARE OFTEN
SUBJECT TO TRANSFORMS

Pacific Rural Press: Jersey bulls
have reputation Of being dangerous,
subject to "brainstorms." and likely
to "fly off the handle" at any time
after long period of good behavior.
Holsteins, shorthorns and other bulls
of more sluggish temperament seldom
give the trouble that Jerseys do, or
Guernseys which have almost equally
highly developed nervous systems.
Now this reputation is partly, but
not entirely, deserved, and with the
proper training and care Jersey bulls
would be almost as safe as good
COW, although always it would be wise
to watch out for them. The vicious
ness and tendency to sudden attacks
of madness are due fundamentally to
a good high spirit and something that
no good Jersey bull could afford TO
be without. 1t is quite safe to say
that inherent meanness is due mainly
to poor judgment in handling, and
that "brainst orms" of animals not ma
turally vicious are due to an unhealthy
physical condition. On the latter sub
ject an exact parallel is found with
human beings. Irritability and lack cf
self control is never found in normally
born, healthy, vigorous persons. Brain
storms in human beings are always
found in persons either abnormal by
heredity or illness, or in persons who
by dissipation and weakness are not
in good physical condition. Brain
storms are also found only in persons
of rather nervous temperament, who
would be all right if they were well
and in a good mental condition. Now
the Jerseys and Guernseys have the
high strung temperament, and, even
if not mean naturally, when by poor
care they get into poor physical con
dition their nerves get the better Of
them for very slight reasons, and a
sudden and unexpected attack upon
breeds with more sluggish dispositions
might be in poor condition without
being dangerous. The same thing is
true with horses, as a slow moving
draft stallion is much less likely to be
dangerous than high strung
thoroughbred

meanness This also is quite surely
tenn accompanied by poor handling
Shorthorns and Holsteins will often ac-
cept bossing by their owners that the
Jerseys do not recognize and which
makes them think of battle whenever
they receive it. That is no fault of
the Jerseys; it is a fault Of treating
them unwisely. This was shown clear
ly with certain dairyman in one Of
our main dairying sections very re-
Gently. He had through experience de-
veloped the proper system of handling
Jersey bulls, having been grading up
his herd for many years. One young
bull was as gentle as could be until
little while ago one of the milk kers
was trying to move him from one
pen to another, and when he was slow
about moving, hit him a light tap
just as one would slap a horse to
make him stand over, not enough to
hurt in the slightest, but only as
hint to get him to move.
The bull recognized the hint, that
it was not a pat of affection, but
y
He was quieted before he got excited
about it, but for week afterward
whenever he saw that mixer he would
paw the ground and talk politics
The difference between Jerseys and
common bulls was seen when grading
up was first started. The grade Dur
hams and Holstein first owned on
the dairy could be bossed around with
out trouble and thought nothing about
it. The first Jersey was started off in
the same way and showed such fight
that he was more or less quarrelsome
continually thereafter His successors
We're all handled with gloves and, be-
ing given plenty of exercise and good
care, never gave any trouble until the
occurrence just referred to.
The young bulls are all at first play
full. When they get so large that they
are likely to be troublesome they are
pastured with a few heifers and a
heavy chain of about thirty feet is at
tached to their nose ring. This gives
them no great bother, but keeps them
from getting too frolicsome and ena
bles their handlers to go up to them
at any time and get acquainted. Be
fore very long the bulls are accustom ed
to being petted and managed, and
thereafter give no trouble 1t is ne
cessary, however, to do nothing to irri-
tate them.
1t goes without saying that a bull

TEMPERATURE DETERMINES
MOISTURE IN BUTTER

Nearly all discussions of the mois-
ture content of butter have been in
relation to creamery operation. View
ing the subject from the point of view
of home or small dairy operation, Pro-
fessor Guthrie gives the Rural New
Yorker some suggestions which may
be interesting to some of our readers
who may be so old fashioned as to
make their own butter:
why Limit the Water.
We cannot be surprised that a reg
ulation has been made which fixes the
maximum moisture limit of butter
Most of our manufactured foodstuffs
must be limited within reasonable
bounds. Some people who question the
advisability of having a maximum
limit of 16 per cent water in the but
ter may be surprised to learn that in
the soap industry, by skill and prac-
uce, hard soap has been made which
contained 80 per cent water. Probably
no butter made could make good ta-
Bile butter with four-fifths water; new
butter containing 80 to 40 per cent
moisture. Nice, waxy butter may con-
tain from about IL to 14h or even
10 to 16 per cent water. OF course
some butter makers can incorporate
more moisture and still have waxy but
ter. II is usually best for the farmer
to plan on not more than IA per cent
water.
How to Get Water Into Butter
1t has been hinted that the incor-
poration of moisture in butter is an
art. 1t may be. However. carefulness
is the key to the problem.
l. Carefulness in maintaining uni
form temperature.
2. Carefulness in having very near
ly a uniform amount of cream in the
churn.
5. Carefulness in controlling the
richness of the cream so that it will
test very nearly the same per cent
butter fat churning after churning
4. Carefulness in working etc
Not long ago one of our classes in
butter making analyzed the butter i'm
mediately after the buttermilk had
been drawn off. It contained 225 per
cent water. Then it was washed in
the same amount of water that there
was buttermilk and afterward the
analysis showed rs per cent water
After sailing and working the butter
contained 15.5 per cent water. The
temperature of the cream was 81 degs
F. The temperature of the wash wa
ter was 55 degs. F. Now what might
have happened if the churning tenn
perature had been a few degrees high

er place by making him work himself
tired frequently, or by showing him
that his owner is really boss in some
way that won't hurt him, but that is
another thing from bringing up a bull

out the can and stir the water, and
take the temperature with a thermom-
eter and not with the finger, for chance
methods must not be used. In cooling
with cold water it is well to pass
ii into the barrel at the bottom and
let ii overflow at the top.
BY using normal temperatures there
is little danger of too much moisture
being incorporated. But If high tenn
peratures are used. look out for Uncle
Sam. A great deal of farm made but
ter does not contain as much moisture
as it, should, largely because it is
washed at a temperature that is too
low, and the water is easily expressed
from the resulting hard butter. Also
much of our dairy butter has the wa
ter expressed by overworking. All
creameries should have a moisture tes,
for butter, and many dairymen could
well afford to have one, not only to
keep them for paying an adulteration
tax. but to help them improve their
methods of manufacture, If there is
not enough water in their butter On
many farms it would easily be possible
to increase the moisture content of
the butter 2 per cent and still be
within the law.
What Extra Water Is Worth
Let us calculate what an increase or
per cent moisture would amount to
i'll one year in 10-cow dairy The
2 per cent moisture is approximately 2
per cent increase in overrun We will
say that the cows average 200 pounds
of butter fat annually. The herd OF
10 cows would yield 1000 pounds of but
ter fat. An increase of per cent over
run would be an increase of 40 pounds.
at 25 Gents per pound, or $40. A
moisture test may be obtained for SO.
On many farms the moisture test would
be paid for in one year by the in
crease in overrun. and besides the
farmer would have the satisfaction Of
Knowing exactly how he stands in re-
lation to the law. The operation of
the moisture test is as easy to learn
as the Babcock test.

er? Probably the churning process
would have taken so much less time
that the butter would have been over
churned, and instead of it being in a
nice popcorn condition, it would have
been in large Jumps, and therefore
more moisture enclosed.
Working I'm Wash Water
What if the washing temperature had
been higher? Most likely it would
have made the butter soft, and con-
sequently less moisture would have
been expressed in the working process.
On the other hand, if the temperature
had been lower the butter would have
been harder and more moisture eS-
pressed in working.
A few winters ago the writer in e
structed his class to use a churning
temperature of Sc degs. F. One squad
made a mistake and used &c degs +.
II was our policy to regulate our tenn
peratures so that the churning process
would require from 80 to As minutes,
AS result of the high temperature
the butter comes in 10 minutes in
big Jumps. After washing and work
ing it contained 33 per cent moisture.
The butter was 50 soft that practically
no water was expressed in the work
ing process. The only thing for us
to do was to chill the butter and then
work out the water the next day. On
the following day we computed the
number of pounds of water that should
be worked out. When we had drawn
off that weight of water we tested
the butter and found that it contained
AS per cent water. OF course, the
body of the butter was injured by
the excessive working, but that was
better than to sell an adulterated prod
uct.
Temperature the CuIprit
1t is apparent that the temperature
is the most important factor in the
conrol of moisture in butter. Our best
creameries regulate the temperatures
very carefully, and they try to have
the various factors affecting the in
corporation Of moisture in butter as
uniform from day to day as possible.
One or two degrees is often enough
to make the difference between nor
NAL and adulterated butter.
In some way the farmer making but

would be a great help. A more sani-

DESERT OCEAN IN AFRICA
Sahara to Be Covered With Ships and
Surrounded by Fertile Fields
and Forests.

The project Of converting the des-
ert of Sahara into vast inland sea,
one-half the size of the Mediterran.
can. is again being agitated. chiefly
by Prof. Gotchegoven, distinguished
scientist He believes he has worked
out a satisfactory plan for the engi-
neering work necessary, and is now
urging that France add this to its 9TH
er Northern Africa enterprises.
About one-fourth Of the great desert
is below the sea level and by his plan
of cutting canal some so miles long
to the north coast Of Africa, the whole
region would be covered with a sea
from 10 to 60 fathoms deep and navi-
gable by steamers, thus producing a
fourishing traffic between French
West Africa.
1t Is also argued that all the arid
section surrounding the desert would
be rendered as fertile as Europe, and
that millions Of people, now leading
precarious existence, could support
themselves in comfort.
Two objections are raised by other
scientists One Is the possible dam.
age which might be done to Europe
by an alteration of climatic conditions
on a large scale, and another the
imagined possibility that the equlli-
brium of the earth would be affected
by the displacement of so many bill
lions Of tons Of water Most savants,
however, consider that such objec-
tions are exaggerated.

TO MAKE CAMEMBERT CHEESE
Experiments Conducted by AsricuA
tural Department In Attempt to
Produce Equivalent.

For several years there have been
conducted, under suggestions afforded
by the department of agriculture, va
rious experiments In this country,
with view to the manufacturing OF
an equivalent of the famous Camem-
bert cheese
In the production OF this cheese
much depends on two species OF MI
croscopic fungi or molds known to
science as Pendulum camemberti
and Oidium lactis. Both species have
been artiflcially propagated and fur
nlshed to the experiment stations.
The manufacture Of the cheese be-
gins with fresh whole milk heated to
85 degrees Fahrenheit. Later on the
cheeses are inoculated with cultures
of these molds.
The cheeses are shaped In galvan.
lied iron hoops, and afterward treated
with salt rubbed on the outside. They
are then transferred to the first ripen-
Ing room, the air of which must be
quite saturated with moisture, and
maintained at a temperature Of from
60 to So degrees. From this time on
they are treated daily. During the
second week they are wrepped in tin
foil or parchment paper, after which
they are sent to the second ripening
room, the temperature Of which Is
slightly lower than that Of the first
room. In the second room the cheeses
remain one or two weeks, when they
reach the best condition for consump-
tion,--Harper's Weekly.
