It is now ready for the combined churn and worker. Before filling, the churns are thoroughly rinsed with cold water, to prevent the cream from adhering to the sides. The churn after being filled is started and is in continual motion until the butâ€" ter is in granular form the size of a kernel of wheat. The churn is then stopped and the buttermilk re- moved. The butter is then sprayed with water of the same temperature at which the churning was done. Afâ€" ter the water has been drained, salt should be sprinkled over the butter (about five pounds salt to 1,000 pounds butter), after which enough water is added to allow the butter to float. The churn is then revolved several times on slow gear, after which the water is drained oil and THE SALTING COMMENCFJS. I use threefourths ounce salt to one pound butter. Three hours is consumed in working the butter, this time being necessary to allow salt to properly dissolve. During ‘lowed to drain frequently. In pack- ‘ing. the tubs should be washed thor- oughly, steamed and soaked in brine.

The cream is run from the pasteurizer into the cream vats, where is added 10 per cent. of starter, made from a. reliable butter culture. The cream is set to ripen at a temperature of 72 degrees, and held at this temperature until the proper amount of lactic acid is de- veloped. It is then cooled to a. temâ€" perature of 54 degrees by placing ice water beneath the vat. At the creamery, as strict care must be taken. Employees should wear clean White suits. The Weigh- ing can should be thoroughly cleanâ€" ed, as should also the receiving vat, etc. We use a, separator; the milk being heated to a. temperature of 78 degrees‘ The cream is run from the separator into a. pasteurizer. at a. temperature of 150 degrees. The skimmed milk is pumped upstairs inâ€" BEFORE MILKING. 'Cans should not be allowed to stand in the stable to take on the odors arising, but in the open air. As soon as a can is filled it should be placed in the milk house, especi- ally in summer. The milk house should be located far enough from the barns so it cannot be contaminâ€" ated by the foul odors from the yards. The condition of the cam; is an important factor in good milk. They should be thoroughly scalded and kept clean and bright. Morning and night's milk should never be mixed unless nearly of the same temâ€" perature; as it giVCs a bad flavor and causes the lactic acid germ to develop rapidly. Milk should be taken to the cream- ei‘y in a clean spring Wagon, and not one used for hauling manure and like matter on the farm. In sum- mer the cans should be covered with a good canvas or blanket, and in Winter, to protect tha fluid from the frost, it should be likewise covered. TEMPERATURE AND SALTING . A moss, or one feed, constitutes about four quarts bran, meal and cottonseed meal, and about oneâ€"half bushel silage per cow. This is the morning;r ration. The cows procure water from buckets, supplied with [pure running spring water. The stock is groomed daily, receiving careful but thorough carding. Milk- ers preparing for duty should dress 1in clean clothing, and above all else ‘Work thoroughly. They should have a. clean cloth or soft brush with which to give the udder a thorough cleaning FILLING THE ICEHOUSE The cows from which we derive our milk supply are composed mostly of the Jersey breed, writes 13. J. Young. They are not on a Whole registered stock, but grades. In the morning the stock is fed upon grain, wheat bran and cottonseed meal, This is fed before milking. It is better to feed silage after milking. This gives an opportunity for the odor which silage creates to pass away before milking time. It has also been Hound preferable to food the silage at night, as it; contains a great deal of water. If silage is fed in the morning the cows will not drink as much Water as when fed on’ dry ru- tions; at night it does not make so much difference.
