UP and down upon the butter to fat
ten 1t out, the butter then piled up
together and the process repeated,
Working the butter will distribute
the salt and expell any excess OF
moisture. Butter must not contain
more than 16 per cent of moisture to
be legal butter and II 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 a 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 IL under worked, 1t will
break of abruptly at the finger. Too
much working will give greasy,
salvey butter and 1t is important to
know when to stop working.
The butter is now ready to pre-
pare for the market. 1t is 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 1t
will not influence the temperature Of
the butter. If butter sticks to the
worker or paddles. it is a pretty good
sign that they have not been proper
ly washed and soaked.
Above are a few of the 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.
