CAUSE AND CONTROL
OF STREAKS IN BUTTER

II tho following suggestions for
churning, sailing and working butter,
writes correspondent OF Hoard's
Dairyman, are carefully followed, there
will be no trouble with streaks:
Churn wen ripened cream at tenn
perature which win bring 1t to the
draining point In granules the size Of
wheat kernels. When that condition
Is reached draw OF the buttermilk and
rinse In plenty Of water at about the
same temperature. Agitate gently 30

perature a second time, again agitate,
preferably by revolving the churn a
few times, and drain thoroughly. Have
the salt sifted and weighed or meas
ured. The latter is more convenient
and quite accurate for all practical
purposes since an ordinary half pint
measuring cup holds approximately
one-half pound Sift half the salt
evenly over the surface OF the butter,
tip the churn 30 as TO expose the bot,
tom and sift the remainder over the
granules thus brought TO view. Now
put the cover on and revolve the churn
slowly for dozen times. Remove COY

these up with ladle or wooden pad

After few minutes Of this the butter
Is ready for the final pressing to elm
mate the excess brine. This may be
done In an ordinary wooden bowl with
an ordinary ladle or In butter work
err In either case very little more
work will be required and no sutse-
qucnt handling necessary whatever
Put the butter In its final form then
and there, whether prints. rolls or
packed In small Jars for family use.
To summarize, remember that
streaks are caused by uneven distri-
button Of salt Working will eliminate
them. but 1t Is best to prevent the for
nation by care In the first instance.
Should they show after trying the proc
ess outlined above, do not condemn II
as worthless but try again, giving the
butter more working either in the
churn or in the bowl
1t Is fine point in buttermaking to
know Just when 1t has been worked
enough. Overriding 1t spoils the grain.
insufficient working leaves too much
brine and possible streaks. A thin wa
fer Of perfectly worked butter should
not break when folded almost over
upon itself. and 1t should have dis
tinctly granular appearance when bit
Of it is broken apart. Artificial color
ing has nothing to do with streaked
butter

TEACHING a Calf to Drink.

A calf should be housed considera-
BILE distance from its dam when wean-
ed In order to reduce the worry Of both
to the minimum. Require the calf to
exist without milk for eighteen to
twenty-four hours after weaving, as a
hungry calf is much more teachable
than one more contented. The first
feed should consist of a small amount
Of the mothers milk. freshly drawn.
Force is of little avail in teaching a
calf to drink. and 1t may result unsat-
isfactorily for both calf and attendant.
Patience and kindness receive their re-
ward more quickly in calf feeding than
In any other division Of live stock feed
