Butter Making Done
Mostly in Creameries

Orono, April 21-"The trend in
buttermaking for the last twenty
years has been from the farm to
the creamery until now there is twice
as much butter manufactured in
creameries as there is made on the
farms of the United States" accord
ing to l.. M. Dorsey, Associate Pro.
lessor of Animal Industry, Dairy
Division. U. of NJ. Zone result of
this change has been the gradual
education of the consumer to the
outstanding qualities of well made
creamery butter and establishing in
his mind certain standards which the
retail merchant must have present
In the product he offers for sale.
These qualities or standards for
butter are: 1. Desirable flavor;
2. Light to medium salt content;
3. Firm body tsometimes called
waxy); 4. Uniform color: S. Con-
venient and attractive package.
"The above are the elements of
competition which dairy butter must
meet in the retail market, and dairy
butter has become a retail product
entirely because 1t is no longer
handled by jobbers. 1t follows there
fore, that butter made on the farm
and offered to the retail market must
be well made in order to realize a
selling price at all near that of good
quality creamery butter. There is a
demand in the cities and towns of
Maine for dairy butter and that de-
mand could be greatly stimulated to
the benefit of farm buttermakers if
the general quality of such butter
was to he improved. This improve
ment Co be brought about in the
following manner.
Produce good quality cream test
ing $50 to 400 butterfat. Churn
it in sweet condition. Wash butter
twice. Salt lightly, 1aoz. salt to one
pound of butter or heavier if desired.
Employ a brick printer which will
deliver the standard brick print
which is 21ax2Ax45s inches in di-
mansions. Place print in carton after
it is wrapped in butter parchment.
instruction sheets dealing with
farm buttermaking may be obtained
from your county agent, or from the
Agricultural Extension Service,
