GOOD BUTTER-MAKlNG RULES
Best churning Temperature Is SO De.
grees on Ordinary Thermometer
Care for Cream.
Clemson College Bulletin.)

Clemson College Bulletin.)
Cream is made up of little fat glob
ules floating in milk. In making but
ter the fat globules are brought to-
gether into mass and the milk is re-
moved as buttermilk. These fat glob-
ules will stick better when they are
just the right temperature than they
will If either too warm or too cold. A
good temperature for churning Is IS
degrees on an ordinary thermometer.
When the cream is the right sourness
1t churns better than when sweet or
too sour. The cream should be kept
at so degrees or lower till the day be-
fore churning. Then warm 1t up to 70
degrees, or room heat, which will bring
about the souring by the next day.
When the barrel churn is used, al
low gas to escape every few minutes
at first. When the butter begins to
come keep a close watch and stop
churning when the butter granules
are the size of wheat kernels. Draw
off the buttermilk and wash in the
churn repeatedly with cold water till
the butternilk is all removed. Then
remove the butter from churn and
work it with paddle. Add an ounce
Of salt per pound Of butter.

DAIRY
FACTS
FEEDING THE DAIRY CALVES
First Aim Is to Cut Down WhoIe-MiII,
period-Results Of Tests at North
Dakota Station.

In feeding the dairy calf, the aim is
to cut down the period of whole-milk
feeding. At the North Dakota expert
ment station, two lots Of four calves
each were fed as follows: Whole milk
first three weeks, both lots. From
then on lot A was fed one-half whole
milk and one-half skim milk till six
months old. Lot B, after three weeks
old, fed skim milk with flaxseed; just
enough flax was added to supply as
much fat as was given the calves in
lot A in their whole milk. Each calf
was given two gallons Of milk day.
The whole-milk calves made the best
gains the first three months, but dur
ing the next three months the skim
milk calves nearly caught up, the four
lacking but 10 pounds of weighing as
much as the whole-milk calves. Sew
eral expert cattlemen who examined
the two lots pronounced the calves
In lot b in as thrifty condition as
those in lot A. The saving in using
skim milk and fax in place of the
whole milk amounted to $40 per calf
for the six-month period. The grain
and hay cost the same for both lots.

UTILIZE ALL WASTES
Not Advisable to Make Hog Meat
Out Of Raw Materials.
Grain May Be Saved for Direct Use
~ Food for Man and for Top
ping on Beef-Dalry BY
Products Are Valuable,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
1t is q good plan to insist that so
far as possible hog meat shall be pro-
duced mainly with food wastes as the
raw materials. Grain may thus be
saved for direct use as food for man
and for feeding or topping off beef
cattle which cannot be raised on
waste.
Wastes on farms and in the towns
make good hog feed; by-products from
canneries, bakeries, fisheries, packing
plants and the like can be utilized as
hog feed and to better economic ad-
vantage than In any other way. Dairy
wastes are particularly valuable as
hog feed and promote rapid growth
with a good money return for every
gallon fed.
The farm orchard furnishes large
quantities Of windfallen or defective
fruit, which is relished by hogs. and
Is beneficial If fed in small quantities
frequently, and not all at one feed.
Garden wastes, tops of vegetables,
culls of all sorts. even weeds are
readily eaten. and such as may not be
eaten will be worked over, going into
the bedding and adding to the manure.
Kitchen wastes are an excellent
source Of food for hogs, but should be
kept at a minimum. because practical
1y all food prepared for mans use
should be eaten by him.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1917-11-16

Is SO strongly developed that they tend
to give a large quantity of milk right
up to calving time. TTfe proper way to
dry up most cows Is to cut of all grain
In the ration and milk only once day
for a few days. Then lengthen the
periods between milkings by milking
only once in two or three days until
the secretion Of milk is nearly stopped.
In very persistent cases the feed sup
ply may have to be cut down more
severely. However, there is little dam
ger of injuring the udder If reasonable
attention is given.

MANNER OF HANDLING SlLAGE
When Time for Feeding Top Layer,

Clemson College Bulletin.)
When the time comes for feeding
silage the top layer, which will be
found to be nodded, should be re-

should be fed each day in order to
prevent the formation of the mold.
The top of the silage should be kept
level so as to expose the smallest sur
face possible to the afr. Only enough
silage for one feeding should be put
out, as 1t soon dries out If not fed at
once.
