NOTIFIED BUTTER IN WINTER
Defect is One of Workmanship and
Can Be Overcome by Application
of Proper Methods.

| (From Weekly News Letter United States
| Department of Agriculture.)
Notified butter is frequently found
on the market at this time of the
year, and, even though it may be OF
very good flavor, it is strongly dis.
eliminated against by the purchaser.
AS this defect is one of workmanship,
1t can be overcome by the application
of proper methods on the part of the
buttermaker
Notifies are caused primarily by an
uneven distribution of salt in the but.
ter. This may be produced by INSULT
cient working of the butter or by
churning, washing and working it at
a very low temperature, or by washing
or working it at a temperature several
degrees higher or lower than the
churning temperature.
When the quantity of butter made in
one churning is much less than usual,
it is necessary to work it a greater
number of revolutions of the churn
than usual in order to produce the
same results on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures of
churning. washing and working should
be avoided, because they produce SO
firm a butter that it is only with great
difficulty that the salt can be worked
uniformly into it. High temperatures
of churning, washing and working
must be avoided to prevent an abnor-
NAL loss of fat in the buttermilk and
also the making of a greasy, leaky
butter.
Great variations in temperature dur
ing the manufacturing process should
always be avoided. Under normal con
ditions the temperature of the wash
water should be the same as, or with.
In two degrees OF, that of the butter
milk.
When the churn room is so cold that /
the butter becomes chilled before
working is completed, notified butter |
is frequently the result. To prevent |
this it is preferable to increase the |
amount of working rather than to raise |
the temperature of the wash water.
Notified butter, then. may be pre-
vented by using methods that will in

Fashions Set by Soldiers.

Alexander the Great is said to be re-

boards of his soldiers were found to
be a source of danger to themselves.
In hand to hand encounters with the
enemy the latter were found to pos
sess too great an advantage in being
able to grasp the beard. AS a matter
of military necessity Alexander or
dered all his fighting men to shave.
