FARM BUTTERMAKIMG.
No Reason Why II Should Not Beat
Creamery Product In Price.

Butter made from a single herd or
COWS in n small dairy located on the
farm, says a Washington state bul-
letin. should command the highest
price of any butter on the market.
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 sep
arating, either by running it over =
cooler or by setting it in running cold
water and stirring. Cream should not
be stored with any substance having
an aroma. Sweet cream churns hard
and gives Il butter having fiat taste.
To sour or ripen the cream, first. heat it
to about 20 degrees +. fuse a Their
mometer) and let it stand until it has
a mild but distinctly acid taste, or.
second, add some sour milk or butter
milk (starterl to start the ripening at
the same time holding it at 20 degrees
The best cream for churning is that
which tests about so per cent fat after
starter has been added.
The temperature at which the cream
should he churned depends on the size
of fat globules, hardness of fat glob-
ules, age of the cream. percentage of
fat in the cream, kind of feed the COW
is getting. and this cannot be deter
mined except by trial. Thirty-fve de
grees may be proper on one farm and
60 degrees on the one adjoining \
good rule TO follow is to have the but
ter come about the size of wheat ker-
nels in about thirty or forty minutes
While the granules are about the
size of wheat the buttermlk should
be drained the granules washed and
the salt added. Then they are worked
together only enough to distribute the
salt evenly. When the churn is not
stopped until the granules become
large some of the buttermillz is incased.
and it makes butter of poor keeping
quality.
Notifies in the butter are caused by
an uneven distribution of salt in the
presence of buttermilk.

low room for milking operations. This
apparatus is left fastened on the left
hand side and thrown back across the
partition when not in use.
Just before milking the COW is fas-
tened in the stanchion, and this is
thrown across and fastened In the
ring on the right hand side. This is
especially good for the COW that is in
the habit of putting her foot in the
milk pail. She cannot raise her foot
without bowling her back somewhat,
which this prevents. And if she per-
sists in doing this trick tighten up the
rope on the right hand side. The OBJ
ject in fastening it to the floor is that
it gives her certain amount of free
dom, and if she moves backward and
forward it tightens After time the
COW gets accustomed to this, and if it
is simply laid across her back she will
not move a foot l have used this in
a number of bad cases and found it
works to perfection, says CORE
spondent of the American Agriculture
list.
