lighter in color and some artificial or
ganic coloring matter. must be added
TO make the color uniform Butter
must now be of a deeper yellow tint
in order to distinguish it from oleo-
margarine on the market. Should the
coloring matter be forgotten until af-
ter the butter is churned. it can be
mixed with the salt and then worked
into the butter. The amount of col
oring to add depends upon the color
desired and the different coloring mat
tiers. Where the Babcock test is
available, the butter can be made
quite uniform in color by adding a
certain amount per pound butterfat.
The churn should be revoIved or
swung so that the cream will receive
the greatest amount of agitation.
Churning is nothing more than
breaking down the viscosity of the fat
globules and causing them to gather
together in the form of fat granules
and agitation is essential. If the
churn is moved too rapidly, the
cream will stick to the sides and will
not be agitated to any great extent.
The amount of cream in the churn
Is QulI6 important dS the
agitation is produced when the churn
is from one-third to one-half full. At
ter the first few revolutions, the
churn should be stopped and the gas
let out by removing the cork. When
the butter reaches the desired granu-
lar size the buttermilk is drawn off
by removing the cork and running
the buttermilk through the strainer to
recover any Of the fat granules that
could have been taken off in the but
termilk. After the buttermilk is
drawn off as much water should be
added to the butter as there was but
termilk, for washing the butter. This
water should be slightly lower IN tenn
perature than the buttermilk and
should leave the butter in a firm con-
dition for handling. After adding the
water the churn can be revolved sew
eraI times and then the water drawn
OF, being careful not to allow any
butterfat to escape. Here again the
strainer can be used. Washing of
the butter is very important 1t is
the buttermilk in butter that causes
the rancid taste and odor, and if this
can be removed it will aid greatly
in the keeping quality of the butter.
After being washed and the water
drained of, the butter should be re-
moved from the churn to the worker

Leap Year Originally Was Given -
Proposals by Women by
Royal Edict.

Although most women are well aware
of the great privilege which they may
enjoy during leap year, it is not to be
presumed that they are all equally con-
versant with the fact that their Ire
matrimonial right was originally Sc
cured to them by statute law OF Eng
land enacted in 1906 under James L.
f16O3-1625) which readeth thus: Abe
it it is now become part of the COM
mon laws, in regarde to the sociaI re-
laytions of life, that SO often as
eyerie besextile year doeth returne,
the ladyes have the sole privileges,
during the time continueth, of. max
ing love unto the men, which they may
doe, either by words or looks. as unto
them seemeth proper. moreover, no
man will be entitled to the benefit of
clergy who dothe refuse to accept the
offers of ladye, or who dothe in any
wise treat her proposals with slight
and contumely."

being careful not to destroy the
granular texture of the butter. In
this condition the salt viii come
in contact with the small gran
ules and become thoroughly distrib-
uted throughout the butter after be-
ing worked. The salt should be pure,
of a fine f1aky nature and easily dis
solved. Coarse cheap salt is hard to
dissolve and is quite noticeable in
the butter. The amount of salt to
use depends upon the market; but in
general, 1 ounce of salt to 1 pound of
butter, or 6 pounds of salt to 100
pounds butter is adequate. Here
again the Babcock test plays an i'm
portant part. BY knowing the
amount of butterfat, we can add salt
at a certain rate and always have
the salt content uniform.
In working the butter, a worker
should be used that will not permit
the butter TO come in contact with
the hands. a lever worker is very

WHAT MAKES The MILK SOUR

Don't blame the creamery or the
milk man if your milk soprs too soon.
It's very likely your own fault. Most
persons know how to take care Of
milk and cream. but often they are
careless and then accuse the milk
man.
Cream or milk, if properly handled
and kept at a temperature of so de-
grees, should keep sweet for three
days. But if you take the cream from
a cool place and let it stand in hot
kitchen for a while before returning
it, you'll find that it viii sour in a
short time.
Don't mix cream of different ages,
as the mixture is likely to sour in g
few hours. Above everything else,
keep your refrigerator and milk uten-
sis clean. And always keep the milk
and cream in a cool pIace-at least
so degrees.

REACHED LIMIT OF TORTURE
Real Reason Why Burglar Gave Even

10 to II the eldest son got his instruc-
ton on the violin. From IL to II the
younger boy got lessiOn on the flute
and piccoio. Then, at 1918, the fam
lily got together and practiced music
on all their instruments. They were
fixing up for a concert At 12:45 the
porch-climber staggered from behind
the screen. For heavens sake, send

satisfactory. The lever being worked
UP and down upon the butter to fiat
ten il out, the butter then piled up
together and the process repeated.
Working the butter will distribute
the salt and expen any excess of
moisture. Butter must not contain
more than 16 per cent of moisture to
be legal butter and it often happens
that farmers violate this law, espe-
cially in the summer months when
the butter comes rather soft. This
should be guarded against as the fine
imposed. is quite heavy. The only
way of determining the amount of
moisture present in butter is TO use
a moisture test. These tests are
quite simple and can be operated by
any average person.
The butter should be worked until
it has uniform waxy appearance.
Perhaps the best indication OF suffi-
cient working is after putting the
finger through the butter, the butter
will string out in fine threads after
it, while if under worked, it will
break off abruptly at the finger. Too
much working will give greasy,
salvey butter and it is important to
know when to stop working.
The butter is now ready to pre-
pare for the market. It is a fact that
the neatness of a package influences
the buyer, and l believe that every
person who markets butter from the
farm in large quantities, especially
ought to have a pound butter-printer
and parchment paper and even paper
cartons for protecting the butter. The
printer and worker as well as churn
must be scalded before and after
using and then cooled down so that it
will not influence the temperature of
the butter. If butter sticks to the
worker or paddles, it is pretty good
sign that they have not been proper
~ washed and soaked.
Above are a few of Che things to
be considered in making butter on
the farm. 1t should be noticed that
the most important factors are clean
illness in the care of the animal and
in the making of the product; care
full regulation of temperature in
ripening and churning cream, and
finally the preparation of the butter
for the market. If you have butter
of quality it will make a market for
itself and establish a reputation for
the maker.
