BUTTER WITH CHEESY TASTE
Trouble Usually Due to Decomposition
Of curd-DeveIops Frequently
Where Salt Is Low.

Cheese taste In butter Is usually due
to decomposition of curd. 1t is most
likely to appear in butter made from
cream which has become too sour or
1t may also be due to failure to wash
the buttermilk and curd from the but
ter after churning. 1t seems to de-
velop more frequently in butter which
Is low in salt.
If 1t has been the practice to allow
the cream to become quite sour be-
fore churning, churning before so much
acid has developed may help to rem
edy the trouble. When churning has
been completed, draw off all of the
buttermilk then add to the butter In
the churn an amount of water equal
to that of the buttermilk. The temper
allure Of the water should be about two
degrees less .han that of the butter
milk. Give the churn several revolu-
tons in order to rinse the butter thor
oughly and then draw off the water.
This removes the surplus buttermilk
and curd in the butter. 1t Is also a
good practice to strain the cream as 1t
is poured into the churn. Some curd
will be removed in this way.

Once we succeeded In discovering

Mccain really secured? 1 could never

him hidden. The narrow confines of

The knowledge he now possessed that
