CREAM IS AID
Butter and Helps to Improve
Keeping Qualities.

The relation of pasteurized cream
to butter is now recognized as fol.
lows: 1t yields a more uniform pro.
duct, aids in producing a higher scor-
ing butter, improves its keeping quail
tiles; avoids undesirable fermenta-
ease germs; overcomes questionable
odors, increases value of skim milk
and creates steadier market. The
slight increase in cost of production,
per pound, when butter is made from
pasteurized cream, is more than over
come by the benefits derived from this
process.

The annual conference between rep

be extended as rapidly as possible.
The accredited-herd plan is to test

lowing prescribed sanitary measures,
repeat the test at prescribed intervals,
and list as tuberculosis-free accredited

tinction.
Very satisfactory progress has been
made during the first year of the
work, and prospects for the future are
bright. During the year 296 herds,
comprising 9,2S4 cattle, have been
fully accredited" as free from tuber-
culosis, and 1,462 herds, having 35,O52
cattle, passed one successful test in
preparation for certification. In addi-

been under supervision for the eradi-
cation of tuberculosis. Each month
additional herds are added to the list.
