CARRY BUTTERMILK
IN SEPARATE CAN

-Sour. moldy, and Off-nav0r cream
can often be traced 20 the practice OF
carrying buttermllk IN cream cans
from the creamery to the home" says
Harold Macy Of the division Of dairy
husbandry, University OF Minnesota.
Cream cans he believes, should be used
only for the transportation Of cream.
Mr. Macy says:
With the facilities svaflable At the
average creamery. II IA a difficult task
at best 70 clean and steriIize the
cream cans properly. The process Is
much more difficult where the butter
milk Is transported In the cans
1T is exceedingly hard 10 keep the
buttermilk tank In such condition that
the product does not sour or decom-
pose, particularly In the flush OF the.
summer season. Such burfermilk has
a high bacterial and mOldy content Of
many undesirable types which con-
taminate the cream SO badly that one
cannot expect 10 get good product
from the patron who fails to wash or
sterilIze his cans after they are
emptied.
"On many farms the cream can never
receive the attention which II deserves.
Many times the buttermIlk is simply
poured into the barrel In the hog pen
and the can rinsed out In cold water.
IN this condition the can remains until |
Il Is stuck under the separator spout |
This sort Of thing goes on from day TO
day. so that one marvels that much OF
the cream is as good as It is.
"The best way TO solve the butter
milk problem is to contract with the in
dividual for the whole batch. This
takes II on the operators hands and
makes cream grading much easier. The
OF the sweet cream butter
milk is also another outlet and often
very profitable. II the farmers insist
upon having their buttermilk. It Is
we'll for the operator to influence his
board to require the use Of other cans
Tor the purpose.
"Eliminate this practice OF placing
,uttermilk IN cream cans and creamery
operators will be one more long step
nearer the standard which they wish
% reach--all frst-class cream

Improvement of Flavor
and Quality of Butter

Nj. Mortensen Of the Iowa expert
ment station made a comparison "of
the effect of the pasteurization tenn
perature and acidity OF sour cream on
the flavor and keeping quality Of but
ter made from cream; samples OF
cream were pasteurized at 145 degrees
Fahrenheit for 80 minutes and Mt ITO
degrees and $50 degrees for 20 min
utes. The butter was scored on ar
rival at the market and after from 2
to 0 months, storage at 0 degree.
The results Of II comparisons indi-
Gated that a pasteurization tempera-
ture Of 40 degrees produced a slight
" superior product 70 that resulting
when the cream was pasteurlzed at
l45 degrees; but butter pssteurized at
the higher temperature did not ap-
pear TO keep as well over nine
months storage period. Pusteurtza-
tlon at 1870 degrees did not give quite
as satisfactory results as at 40 de-
grees In nine experiments.
The naturalization Of sour cream was
also found to improve the quality and
reduce the amount of deterioration
occurring In the butter.

Calves Fed for Spring
Market Most Profitable

There Is less risk and greater profit
In feeding calves for the late spring
or early summer market than in feed
Ing any other class of live stock. &C.
cording to DIR. G. w. McCampbell Of
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
Tn feeding calves for the market, :
Doctor McCampbell points out, ut Is
Important to remember that a calf
should be prime to sell at a profit. No
other class OF cattle is Disseminated
against so severely as the half-fed
calf.
"A heavy feed Of grain is necessary
to put the calf in condition to sell at
advantage. We find that II requires
approximately $50 days as q minimum
feeding period and about 40 bushels OF
corn to put the calf In best market
condition.

Dr. Parker, who has spent eight
years at the laboratory in the Bitter

batting the dread spotted fever, was one

Parker vaccine, which is pre-
pared from infected ticks and which is

PrehlsMrIe Relic

The most remarkable gift yet pre-
scented TO the Fergus county high
school museum is a stone hammer Of
Indian make, which was found lmbed-
ded in a large lump Of Roundup coal
by Lewlstown family, the hammer
being revealed when the coal was
broken up.
There are stlll pieces OF coal adher-
ing to 1t. Although IT was made be-
fore the coal was formed. the fact that
Il was taken some distance below the
surface and In the coal is singular.
One theory Is that the hammer was
buried In the coal and that in time the
coal became sufficiently compact
around It to form a comparatively solid
covering.

STATE COUNSEL SAYS
SCHOOL TAX ILLEGAL
Measure Voted BY People IN 1920 re.
ported Unconstitutional BY Al
torney Generals office

In the opinion OF the attorney gen.
erals office, as expressed 10 the su.
preme court the measure which was
voted by the people In 1920 to provide
a min and a half tax fer operation OF
the University OF Montana, is uncon-
stltutional.
In his argument contrasting the appli-
cation for an injunction against the
state board Of examiners. the effect OF
which Will be to make all the proceeds
OF a mill and a half levy available only
for the four teaching units OF the uni-
verslty, A. II. Angstman, assistant at
tOrney general, raised several constltu-
tional questions.
He pointed out that on the present
valuation Of Montana the constitution
limits the levy TO mills BY an initia-
tive act, the people attempted to make
that levy 81 mills. whereas. he insist
ed, question OF constitutional amend
ment must originate IN the legislature.
Montana's state board OF examiners
has no more right to reduce legislation
appropriations than II has TO increase
them. Dean WhItlOck of the law school
Of the University Of Montana argues in
a brief supporting the contention that
all the proceeds Of the min and a half
levy should go to the four teaching
units and that extension service and
experiment stations should be apprO-
priated for separately.
