Buttermaking on the Farm

gives the following advice:
Butter made from single herd of cows
| in small dairy located on the farm
should command the highest price of
any butter on the market. Where one
man has control of all the process
through which the milk goes from the
time it is MIXED until the time it is
printed as butter; the product should be
the best obtainable, if this one man
understands the principle and art of
buttermaking.
The first essential in making good
butter is good cream. To get this sim
ply means to take ordinary precautions
regarding clean cows and barn, clean
attendants and clean utensils; and then
cooling the cream at once after separ-
ating, either by running it over cooler,
or by setting in running cold water and
stirring. Cream should not be stored
with any substance having an aroma.
Sweet cream churns hard and gives a
butter having fiat taste. To sour or
ripen the cream, first heat it to about
70 degrees Fahrenheit (use thermom-
eter) and let it stand until it has mild
but distinctly acid taste; or, second,
add some sour milk or buttermilk
(starter) to start the ripening, at the
same time holding it at 70 degrees. The
best cream for churning is that which
tests about 80 per cent fat after the
starter has been added.
The temperature at which the cream
should be churned depends on size of
fat globules, hardness of fat globules,
age of cream, amount of cream, per-
centage of fat in cream, kind of feed
the COW is getting, and this cannot be
determined except by trial. Thirty-fve
degrees may be proper on one farm and
go degrees on the one adjoining A good
rule to follow is to have the butter come
about the size of wheat kernels in about
80 to 40 minutes. If it takes longer the
cream is either too sweet or at too low
temperature, or the churn is too full.
If it comes sooner than 80 minutes, the
temperature is too high.
While the granules are about the size
of wheat, the buttermilk should be
drained, the granules washed and the
salt added. Then they are worked to-
gether, only enough to distribute the
salt evenly. When the churn is not
stopped until the granules become large,
some of the buttermilk is encased and
it makes butter of poor keeping quality.
Notifies in butter are caused by an
uneven distribution of salt in the pres
ence of buttermilk.

time later was brought to Rosalia She

Good progress is being made with the
drive of logs out of the Priest river and
it's branches, and from present indica-
tions the Fidelity mill will be able to
continue operations without Interrupt
ton. Arrangements are being made to
start bringing logs up from the Calispel
river, as the Pend Oreille river is rising
sufficiently to permit navigation by the
tug boat.
