COUNTRY BUTTER IS
IMPROPERLY WORKED
Most Common Faults Are Dirty
Milking and Handling Of Milk
Utensils Not Clean.

Country butter can and ought to be
better than creamery butter. in the
opinion of A. S. Neale, dairy specialist,
division of extension, Kansas State
Agricultural college. The farmer is
able to control the production Of the
cream while the creamery cannot do
this.
1.-THE most common faults in making
country butter" said Mr.. Neale, ''are
dirty milking and handling Of milk,
improper sterilization of separators
and other milk utensils, mixing Of
fresh warm cream with cold, partly
ripened cream, storing cream In IL
warm place. allowing the cream to
stand too long before ripening, i'm
proper ripening, churning at too high
a temperature, and inadequate wash
ing and working Of the butter after
churning.
"While saving cream in order to
get enough for a churnlng, store 1t at
q temperature at least as low as that
If cold well water. New cream when
added should always be cooled and
thoroughly mixed to insure evenness
OF ripening.
1.-THE cream should be kept cool until

Hog cholera killed enough animals
last year to have fed 100000 soldiers
q meat ration for 5h months. This
loss is unnecessary. for hog cholera
can be prevented to a large extent.
as has been demonstrated by county
agents working through the United
States department Of agriculture and
state agricultural colleges. in the
northern and western states.
hog cholera prevention and control
are possible through vaccination. dis
infection and the quarantine of infect
ed herds. The local conditions largely
determine the methods OF procedure
by the agents. They work with groups
of farmers, teaching them how to
vaccinate their hogs, confine and quar-
antine their herds, and dislnfect their
premises. The most effective cam
paigns, perhaps, have followed the
uniting of the farmers Into organiza-
tions by the county agents. Frequent
ly these are farm bureaus with COM
mitteemen under each community.
This Is pronounced an ideal Organiza-
ton to promote educational work rela-
tive to cholera. Cholera control clubs
are very effective when first organ
lied and at work, but when cholera
disappears from the county the Or
ganization tends to disintegrate. On
the other hand, the farm bureau Is
constantly engaged on other lines and
is ever ready to handle cholera when
1t appears.
Lend Instruments to Farmers.
The work of the county agents is
often supplemented by the services Of
specialists from agricultural colleges
and the United States department Of
agriculture. In q number of states
farm bureaus and cholera control
clubs have purchased instruments to
lend to the farmers and have stored
supplies of serum to have 1t immedi-
ately available when needed and to
lessen the cost of vaccination.
Reports to the department of agri-
culture show approximately 2.0o0.S22
hogs killed by cholera for the year
ending March 81. 1917. These hogs
would have made approximately 1885,
8S2, 200 pounds Of pork which would
have furnished a meat ration for an
army of a million men for 169 days.
Reports of the agents also show that
in counties and communities where
campaigns were undertaken and the
suggested program followed, the loss
from hog cholera was very materially
reduced. County agents in nine Of
the northern and western states report
saving of $92.547 in 1915. brought
about by the vaccination OF 1887
hogs. From reports Of 146 agents,
showing vaccination Of 21O,337 hogs,
1t is estimated that there was a saving

a few hours before churning. when
the temperature should be raised and
maintained at 20 to 75 degrees until
lust before churning. In maintain
ing this ripening temperature the prin-
ciple of the fireless cooker may be used
to advantage. Have an ordinary round
can large enough to hold the cream.
Get the timer to make a galvanized
iron jacket half an inch greater In
diameter and one inch higher than tne
storage can. Make a square box three
inches higher than the can and six
inches wider than the diameter Of the
can. Pack one and one-half inches
Of excelsior, prairie hay, or some 9TH
er good heat insulator, in the bottom
of the box, place 1t in the jacket and
pack 1t on all sides with the same ma
terial. A pad should be cut to fit
around the top of the Jacket and cover
the packing. Raise the cream to the
desired temperature and place 1t In
the can.
Every buttermaker should have
dairy thermometer. Two churnings
will pay for one through the increase
in the quality of the butter. The churn-
ing temperature is 60 degrees. The
higher the per cent Of fat in the
cream. the lower the temperature may
be. The temperature should be low
enough to require form 20 to % min
utes for churning. Churn until the
butter granules are little larger than
wheat kernels.

of $1,64S,862 as compared with tho
deaths that would have been prob
able without vaccination. This saw
ing does not include thousands Of hogs
that have escaped the disease by pre-
ventive measures adopted on the rec
concentrations of county agents.
Personal instruction Given.
In many counties the agents instruct
the farmers personally how to vac
cinate hogs. quarantine herds. and
clean up and dislnfect their premises.
For instance, in Scott county, Mis-
souri,. the agent loans the farm bu-
reau's instruments to individual farm
ers. He vaccinates several hogs for
the farmer and then has the farmer
vaccinate number under his direc-
ton. The farmer vaccinates the 9TH
er hogs himself and returns the In
struments to the farm bureau offlce.
Serum is sold by the bureau to the
farmers at cost. In this county S5 per
cent of the 1877 hogs vaccinated un-
der the direction of the agents were
saved. Before county agent work was
| undertaken there. hog vaccination for
cholera was practically unknown.
In Seward county, Nebraska. the
farm bureau also lends instruments
| for vaccination to farmers and sells
serum at cost. In Allen county. In
diana, thorough publicity is given the
presence of hog cholera In a neighbor-
hood in order to stimulate interest In
public meeting called Immediately
in the community. The county agent
gives an illustrated talk ON the ma
ture, prevention and eradication Of
| cholera, presenting 1t as q community
problem and perfecting an organiza-
ton which in every instance has pre-
vented spread from the first outbreak.
Spread Of Disease Prevented.
The special value of such organiza-
tions is that the disease Is caught In
the beginning and eliminated before 1t
| has had time to infect all hogs In
herd or spread to neighboring herds.
The agent in Kingsbury county, South
Dakota, reports that last year 10 diff
ferent outbreaks occurred. with a loss
of 154 head, whereas In 1915 1850 head
were lost from cholera. In this coun-
ty the community organization plan
was followed. In johnson county, In
diana, where community meetings were
held, the result has far exceeded the
country agents expectations, accord
ing to his report. Farmers co-operat-
ed heartily in preventing the spread
of the disease, farms were thoroughly
disinfected, hogs were vaccinated
early. neighbors were notified of out
breaks in order that they might pro-
tect their own herds, and in conse-
quence there have been less than 80
cases of cholera in the county this
year, and In no instance has the dis
ease gotten beyond control.
