Home Butter Making.

The reason why creamery butter
always brings a margin over the

Bad fiavors in butter come from
two general sources-absorption and
farm bacteria.
A good deal of bad tasting butter
comes from having the separator in
the barn where feed lot smells pre-

churn and becomes rotten. 1t con-

Milk left in unclean vessels in a
musty milk house. for the cream to

Butter churned too soft cannot be

the bu,termilk is left in it. Butter
milk contains what is called milk
sugar. The latter is used as food
by the ferments which are secreted
by the organisms. These ferments
DESTROY casein and albumens in the
buttermilk contained in the butter
