liioheI, dllSI IL Has OSen kept o
several hours.
The. atmosphere to which cream
is exposed should be pure and
wholesome, and on no account
should cream be kept in the same
room with other kinds of food.
vegetables or fruit. Cream and
milk will absorb flavors very read
lily and therefore any article hav-
ing an oder or strong favor, will
quickly impart that odor or flavor
to the cream or milk.
Sometimes milk has what is call
ed a barn or cowy flavor, which it
will not lose unless it is freely ex-
posed to the air. This aeration
will rid the cream of this cowy
flavor and improve the quality Of
the butter made from such
cream. For this reason it is not
advisable to keep cream in a closed
vessel. After separation the YES
sci in which the cream is placed
should be covered over with thin
butter muslin o. cheese cloth. This
will allow any gases which are
formed during the ripening process
to escape. For the same reason
also it is necessary to stir cream
thoroughly at least twice or three
times a day. Some of the most in
furious organisms do not like air,
hence stirring retards their growth,
as it exposes various parts of the
cream in the vessel to fresh air.
1t is the oxygen in the air which
does not agree with their health.
The demand for the butter pro-
duced by any creamery wifi de-
pend upon the quality and the
price. but chiefly upon the quality,
and the future Of the dairy indus
try in South Carolina Will depend
upon how we'll the many patrons
Of creameries who ship their cream
to the latter appreciate these facts.
If the ideals of the patrons are
high and they start from the out
set to produce only the very best
cream, they will soon help to drive
off the market much Of the inferior
quality butter which is being ship
ped into this state from other
states, and they will even create a
demand for their butter in other
states than their own.
One way in which this object can
be achieved is to make a real hob
by of dairying, not to look upon
it a S a drudgery and a necessary
evil. Dairy products are the most
wholesome of foods, and bring
nor vitality, health and vigor to
mankind than any other food pro-
duct. The production then of this
elixir of life, this wonderfully con-
stituted product which a wise
Providence has given U.S., should be
looked upon as a profession to be
indeed proud Of. On the other
hand the neglect Of cleanliness
and care should be considered
nothing less than criminal.
Cleanliness, it has been said, is
next to godliness, and on every
dairy farm adequate means for
making hot water and possibly
steam. apart from the Kitchen,
should be supplied. Without
plenty of hot water utensils cam
not be kept clean and where fuel
is as plentiful as it is in South
Carolina there is no excuse for
utensils not being absolutely clean.
Where strict cleanliness is eXer-
cised dairying becomes a pleasure
and not a drudgery. Good cream.
and cleanliness go hand. in hand.

The Worlds Greatest Fish Story
Dear Mr.. PouloS:

oCol 4ni- OoiO0
AS l read your writings from
time to time l notice you always
want the very best that's going
even if its moonshine. With this
in mind l want to give YOU in my
words the best and greatest fish
story that you and the rest of the
world eve heard Of.
This fish was first Of all made to
order. He was up-to-date on that
point. Yet there was a queer
thing about that fish: he was not
fished for b ut did some good fish
ing. Why he actually caught a
grown man without bait at all.
Something unheard-of. Yet, this
same fish that was somewhat of a
fisherman fed a whole hungry city.
That was some city too. About
the size of Richmond, Va.
Now that sounds like-but its
true when you know the inside Of
this story-just get right on the
ground-where this fish story was
put over. You see after this man

the man went on to this great city
and by his Bread of Life" blessed
by the general that commissions
ed him to Hooverize that city
they were fed. indirectly of curse
by the fish-but none the less
true. They would have persisted
with spiritual hunger if that fish
had been as delinquent to his duty
as some of our Sumter fishermen.
Christ Jesus when he walked
about in Palestine put his Off
cial seal on this fish story, that has
made it authentic ever since. For
said He: The people Of Ninereh
repented at the preaching of Jo-
nah but a greater than Jonah is

COW TALK
BY c. W. sCHMoLRE
The Production and Care of
Cream For ~Buttermaking

The quality Of butter depends
upon the quality of the raw pro-
duct or the cream from which it is
made.
The quality Of cream is deter
mined by the flavor, ripeness and
physical condition, and not as is
the common belief. by the thick
ness, or by the percent Of butter
fat that such cream contains.
The flavor Of the cream is de-
termined by the Kind of food the
COWS eats, by the fermentation or
SQUIRTING which it u~ndergoes, by the
| cleanliness and the kind Of yes
sells in which it is kept and by the
amount Of aeration it is subjected
to-, During some seasons of the
| year cows will eat certain kinds
! OF herbs which viii impart to the
milk a distinctly herby flavor. and
which is usually very Objectionable.
This can be overcome to some eX-
tent by keeping cows off such pas
ture for at least four hours before
milking time. Butter made from
cream obtained from milk which
has this herby flavor has practical
~ no commercial value.
The degree of fermentation or
souring cream has undergone, will
further determine the quality Of
the butter made. If cream is kept
until it is stale or rancid, no skill
in the world can make good but
ter from it. During the ripening
or souring process, acid develops
in the cream, and if more than a
certain percentage of acidity is reg
istered by chemical tests, the but
ter made from such overripe
cream is Objectionable to the taste,
and does not possess good keeping
qualities: it will soon turn rancid.
This ripening Of the cream can
be retarded if cream is cooled i'm
mediately after separation. and
by this is meant not three or four
hours after but within twenty min
utes. The organisms which cause
cream and milk to sour are ever
present wherever milk or milk pro-
ducts are handled. but more so
where conditions are dirty. i. e.,
where COWS are MIXED in a dirty
lot or barn, where buckets. cans,
separator and other utensils are
not kept scrupulously clean. by
washing with hot water and steri-
lizing with boiling water or steam
where the latter is available.
This acid producing organism
lives best at a high temperature.
hence the reason why milk and
cream will turn sour SO much
sooner in summer than in winter.
1t will therefore be seer very readi-
lily that a low temperature will
tend to keep the cream sweet for
a longer period than a high one. If
cream is cooled thoroughly after
separation it will keep reasonably
sweet for butter-making purposes,
for about three days. The very
best butter however. cannot be
made from such cream. Sweet
cream is the best. and wherever
dairy farmers are sufficiently near
to a creamery or have the facili-
ties for shipping cream often, it
should be shipped at least once
every other day.
Different kinds of organisms
cause different 1avorS and effects
in cream, and where the utmost
care is not exercised in the cleans
ing Of the pals and other utensils
used for the milk, usually all
kinds of f1avors called bacterial
navors can be detected in the

have one-fourth unripe. Cook at
