Butter Facts Are Told
Here
state Experiment Station Expert
Gives Opinions Regarding Pre-
serving Butter, Amount
of Salt, Etc.
BY A STATE EXPERIMENT STA.
TION EXPERT

5FHE amount of salt necessary in but
ter depends largely upon the mar
ket requirements and varies from
three-fourths of an ounce to an ounce
and half per pound of butter, one
ounce per pound being the average.
The temperature at which cream
should be churned will vary accord
ing to the conditions from as low as
Do degrees in the summertime to SIS
degrees in the winter. We cannot set
a temperature at which you should
churn. The temperature will have to
be determined by experimenting and
should be such as will bring the butter
in small granules about 80 to 40 min
utes after starting to churn.
The best method of preserving but
ter, and the method that is used al
most exclusively is by chilling 1t to a
freezing point or below and keeping
1t until ready to use, in that condi-
ton. This is the way they store all
storage butter, but on the farm very
good results have been obtained by
keeping it in a strong salt brine solu-
ton. The butter is packed in stone
jars and the brine is poured over the
top and left in as cool a place as pos
sible until you are ready to use it.
You will find that great care must be
taken in the selection of the cream
and the care of the butter in this kind
of storage, but if proper methods are
used in handling, the butter can be
kept from four to six months in good
condition.
The record COW for butterfat is the
Holstein, and although the Holsteins
as a rule give a large flow of milk,
we find that the percentage of fat is
generally low. This does not mean.
however, that the Holstein COW is the
most economical producer of milk and
fat. While in some cases we know
that they will produce more econom-
ically than will the Jersey, we also
find many Jerseys that will produce
higher butterfat much more econom-
ically than the Holsteins. The type
of COW that one should need on the
farm will depend on various condi-
tions, and while the Holstein COW may
be the best in one case, the Jersey
will prove better in another. In mild
climates, where winters are not Sc
we're, the Jersey will do very well.
The Holstein is, of course, a much
larger COW and is able to withstand
severe winters.
We generally find that cows that
have had their calves running with
them as long as three weeks are very
hard to manage, so as to get maxi
mum amount of milk. If it is possible
it would be better to wean the calf
while it is only a few days old, and
then by careful manipulation of the
udder there should be no trouble in
having the COW let down her milk.

HOTELS PREPARING FOR
WELCOME TO NEW YEAR
Celebration Will Be Equal to Any in the Past Despite War
-Lucus M. Boomer Thinks 1915, With It's Bright
Promise, Should Get Cheerful Greeting.

The celebration Of the New Year at the

be as gay rs ever despite the great
war in the Old World The managers
OF the Knokerbocker, Aston. st. Regis.
Plaza. Blltmore, Waldorf. Claridge and
McAlpn are going ahead with arrange
ments as Of old. The hotels and res
taurants have sent out TO their patrons
thousands Of neatly engraved cards re-
questing that they reserve tables at an
early date. The responses have been ex-
ceedingly large. The decorations in most
OF the hotels and restaurants will be
very elaborate and there will be many
new textures OF course there will he
the old demonstrations OF gayety--the
footing OF tin horns. the throwing ot
confetti and the drinking OF wines. The
old year will be toasted and the only
sombre feature will perhaps be "a toast
to the dead in the present war"
