The churn should be revolved 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. II 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 quite important as the maximum
agitation is produced when the churn
is from one-third to one.half full. Az
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

the butter is very important. 1t Is

in the keeping quality Of the butter.

being careful not to destroy the
granular texture OF the butter: In
this condition the salt will 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 flaky nature and easily dis

dissolve and is quite noticeable in
the butter. The amount Of salt to
use depends upon the market; but In
general, / ounce Of salt to pound OF
butter, or 6 pounds OF salt 10 100
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

widely used, but the barrel churn is
perhaps most desirable. Neither Of
the above should have any internal
devices as these are said to injure
the body Of the butter. The churn
should be scalded out we'll before

water. The cream should always be
strained into the churn. This will
break up any chunks that may have

the cream at this time. In the spring

A committee from the Mitchell Com

proposition to locate at Mitchell fol-
the manufacture of a traction pillow

however, it is stated, decided to remain
at DeSmet. He believes his engine is
a good thing, and prefers to derive the
entire benefit from the invention rather
than divide up with a stock company

templated. The engine will operate
four plows, and is so arranged that it
can be used on plowed ground for the
transportation of other farm machinery

The announcement of the probability
of the Great Northern extending from
Sioux Falls to Wheeler, in Charles Mix
county, will without doubt awaken the
Omaha railroad to pr.tect territoi y
which has been among its possible
extensions for years. Some thirty
years ago, when the Omaha road built
i. to Mitchell from Sioux Falls, it was
the intention of the company to extend
to Wheeler. No less than three or
four surveys have been made the past
twelve years. Several years after the
Omaha came to Mitchell there was a
partial failure of CROPS and this had the
tendency to delay building. At various
times officials of the road have made
the trip overland between Mitchell and
Wheeler inspecting the crop possibili-
ties and the location of new towns. 1t
is known that it has been a long
cherished scheme on the pert of the
Omaha officials to build from Mitchell
to Wheeler as connecting link for
through line from Minneapolis and st.
Paul to Denver. .

years ago, amounting to 500, 500, but
by vote of the people is ready to
issue $50, 900 of new bonds for the
taking up the floating indebtedness.
