What do you know about baseball
scason that produced fifteen FASTENERS

II would seem that the National

CHURNING TEMPERATURES

In churning the butter should come
in half an hour. If it does not, it
usually means that the cream is too
warm or too cold. Professor Keith
ley of the North Dakota Agricultural
College has found that in the winter
about 60 degrees is the best churning
temperature and in the summer 50
to IS. There are several factors that
have to be considered. Cream from
a COW that has just been freshened
should be churned at lower tempera-
ture than cream from COW we'll along
in her milking period. Such feeds as
grass, alfalfa hay, oil meal and silage
produce cream that can be churned
at lower temperatures while timothy
and prairie hay, straw, corn fodder
and cotton seed meal produce cream
requiring higher churning tempera-
ture: "A dairy thermometer is ne
