DAIRY
KEEP BUTTER DURING WINTER
To Retain its Quality Temperature Of
Cellar Should Be Maintained as
Low as Possible.

A supply of butter that will keep
through the winter is much desired on
most farms, but many find 1t difficult
to produce 1t. There are two or three
secrets that must be observed. First,
If the cellar is musty, 1t must be care
fully scraped and cleaned and the side
walls and ceiling swept. Then 1t will
be well to whitewash 1t carefully with
a little formaldehyde in the lime. TO
spray 1t with a force pump is easy.
tumigation with at least a pound OF
sulphur is another way Of destroying
the must germs. The cellar should be
closed tightly for several hours while
the fumigation is in process.
What makes a cellar damp or
musty? Usually it is because some
thrifty person is anxious to keep II
sweet and let's in the warm air of the
day. Warm air contains a large
amount Of moisture. which is precipi'
tated upon the cold walls, and 1t nat
urally follows that the cellar is first
damp. then musty and, later, moldy'
Ventilate cellars only during cold
nights.
Now the butter. The cream should
be ripened only to a point of pleasant
acidity. Stop the churn when the
granules of butter have begun to come
and have massed to the size of kernels
of wheat. Draw off the buttermilk and
put in an equal amount of clear, cold
water. Revolve once or twice and
draw, repeating this washing until
the water runs out clear. Then salt
one ounce to the pound with best
dairy salt, mixing 1t in the fine grains
in the churn by revolving or stirring
Next mass it into balls and set 1t aside
to settle until the next morning.
Then work the butter second time,
and pack it hard into sound. sweet,
stone jars, and over its hard-pressed,
level top, spread disk of parchment
paper wet On this lay fine salt an
inch deep. Then tie tough paper over
the top to exclude dust, and place the
jar at once in the coolest, cleanest
part of the cellar. To make butter re-
tain its quality, the temperature of the
cellar should be maintained at as low
and even a temperature as is possible
Vegetables and other things that may
produce odors must be excluded.
Do not be persuaded that the add
ton of saltpeter or sugar or any Other
substance is necessary to the preser
walton of butter. Salt alone is needed
and one ounce to the pound is sufii
cient. Never use a cracked or musty
or "lardy" Jar. The old-fashionet
stone jar that is we'll glazed has never
been superseded by anything better
for holding butter. Where butter IL
to be consumed soon, of course, the
washing is not needed, and the flavor
will be higher If the buttermilk is moi
washed out.

TASK OF DEHORNING CATTLE
Operation Is Most Frequently Per-
formed to Prevent Animals From
Injuring Each Other.

Cattle have been dehorned since
about 1890. The operation sometimes
is performed to remove horns that are
broken or otherwise injured. but most
frequently it is to prevent horned ami
mails from injuring one another. Usu-
ally it is considered justifable on ac-
count of the benefits that are derived
from the operation.
The growth of horns on calves may
be prevented entirely by the liberal
use of a strong solution of ordinary
I've; or If the use of a solution is not
desirable ii can be purchased at drug
stores in the form of sticks known as
caustic potash. This should be APP
piled Immediately after birth to the
place where the horn makes its APP
pearance. Care should be exercised
when using this remedy because the
I've will eat away all the skin with
which 1t comes in contact.
Various kinds of instruments are
used for the removal of the horns OF
older animals. II an ordinary saw Is
used 1t should be sharp and fine, as
this lessons the danger of splintering
the bones Of the head during the oper-
alton. II a large number of animals
are dehorned, quicker and safer work
can be done with a "dehorning in
strument." This can be purchased
OF any veterinary supply company for
$3.50 to $40.
II is best not TO dehorn during the
fly season. Sometimes the horn is
cut close to the head and cavities are
opened which become filed with mag
gots II flies are prevalent. The ami
NAL suffers intensely, II this happens,
and there is a rapid loss In condition.
II cavities ere accidentally exposed
a small piece OF cotton, smeared with
tar. may be applied to the wound and
held in place by means OF bandage
around the head. This also Is OF great
value IL excessive bleeding follows the
operation. II maggots gain entrance

be washed out with n weak. watery
solution Of ordinary dip.

abundance of different feeds to make
up for this dry or inferior feed.
OF course the flow of milk cannot
be kept up to what they give during
the spring and summer when pastured,
but with plenty of first-class hay, such
as alfalfa and good clover, and fine
feed of bran and corn meal kept on
hand that it may be fed literally two
or three times a day as slops, there
will not be so much decrease in the
milk supply after all. That is, if it is
given to them literally and regularly
Do not think it is waste to feed
such feed when there isn't anything
but dry hay of some kind to feed on.
On the latter, the COW can barely
maintain her flesh, much less keep up
the milk supply.
When we have good clover hay and
alfalfa, not so much of the bran, fine
feed or meal is required, as both, wher
cured properly, are very strong feeds
and cattle thrive on them.
l am not going to attempt to give
the amount that should be fed, as
leave that for the dairyman to decide
for himself What | wish to impress
upon the readers mind is this: The
necessity of having on hand always a
liberal supply of bran, meal, fine feed
etc, to go with the dry hay or corn
fodder, which is generally of an in
ferior quality, fed at this season of the
year.
Without the above feed mentioned,
1t is impossible for the dairyman to
obtain good results during the season
when cattle are not pastured.

WINTER FEED FOR THE COWS
Important for Dairyman to Provide an
Abundance Of Different Feeds to
Keep Up Milk Flow.
CBy r. q. Neutrality-suspicious.

CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)
During the winter months it is gen.
orally found difficult to provide such
food as is necessary for the dairy COW
to keep up the regular flow of milk.
At this season of the year feed is
generally scarce-the proper kind for
the dairy cow-and that which we
have on hand is often of an inferior
quality.
After coming off the green fresh
grass they do not relish such dry feed
and being of an inferior quality one
will soon notice a great decrease in
the flow of milk.
For this reason it is very important
for the farmer to try to provide an

A Boston physician tells Of a Doctor
Reed who, IN his time. was mi OF the
prominent medicos OF the Hub. His
large practice included many patients
outside the city limits, and these he
visited In his buggy.
One day Doctor Reed bought a new
horse. with which he was much
pleased until he discovered that the
animal had an insurmountable objec
tion to bridges OF all kinds, and could
not be made to Cross one.
Inasmuch as at that period II was
necessary to cross certain bridges In
order to reach any one OF the sur
rounding towns, the doctor decided to
sell the horse. He did not think Il
necessary to mention the animals pc
culiarity, but was much too honest to
misrepresent him, and, after some
thought, produced the following ad-
