C. Altrogce, a pr-minent Iowa dairyman. He had churning at a temperature of 56 degrees, and at this aturo his butter had a good-body. But on a recent morning after butter had come and hi.1 had opened the churn he was lioiTiiied to find a mass of yellow slop. After drawing off the buttermilk and washing twice with cold, spring water and working it very slowly he was hardly able to get it out of the churn.

Next morning he decided to churn cold enough. He tried 52 degrees. and it was two hours before butter came. There were somewhat better results, but not what he thought they ought to be. He began wondering what to do next.

Milk was coming in in fine shape, the weather being quite cool, making it necessary the milk before separating, but he d'etermined to try not heating, letting it go through just as it came in at a temperature of about 68 degrees, and used more starter to develop enough acid. At 4 o'clock he cp-oled it down to 52 degrees and butter came at, 56 degrees in fine shape. Soft Butter Contains Most Water. In experiments at the Iowa station the water content of butter as influenced by the size of the granules and the temperature of the butter during working was studied. In each of a number of comparative tests cream, was ripened, cooled "and divided into two equal lots, both of which were churned under uniform conditions and were otherwise treated alike, except that one lot washed with cold water and the other with comparatively warm water.

In three of the comparisons where the granules were of the same size an average difference about 25 degrees F. in the temperature of the water made a difference of about per cent in the water content of the butter. The softer butter resulting from the use of the Warmer water in washing contained in every case the most water. In one of the tests washing coarse granular butted with water at 45 degrees was com-r pared with washing fine granular butter with water at 80. degrees.

The percentage of water in the butter made in the two ways was respectively 14.07 and 17.50. Granulated Butter. The great secret in making granulated butter is when you begin to churn do not have the cream warmer than 62 degrees in cold weather and 60 degrees in warm weather. If the cream 4s cold, set it in a pail of hot water, but under no circumstances pour 'hot water into the cream. It will of coufrse take longer to churn granulated butter.

When you have finished churning, the butter will look just like shot then draw off your buttermilk and wash the butter in1 the churn with several waters, so as to get the buttermilk all out. If you-wish t6, keep the butter granulated, after washing it put it into ajar and cover it with a strong brine But if you want to get it ready for market, salt and work it over and let l'o vote.for a person mark in at the me name of the person for "desire to vote.

Dr. P. Welsh has at his stock farm near Orangeville, a cow that promises to become ohe Of the most valuable in the country.

Although only three years old, this cow, Mary Mashall No. 11,814, has already outdone the record of her mother, Mary Marshall, who won the Pan-American prize in the butter making contest of six months, The latter, eleven years old, made 'pounds, and after deducting cost of feed showed a net profit of $54.91. Mary Marshall V. gave pounds of milk (luring the month of May, an unprecedented record. A well known writer on dairy subjects says: Careful breeding and: inherited excellence may be set to naught by insufficient or unsuitable feed, even for a brief period.

The successful dairyman will carefully provide in advance for the feed supply during evpery month of the entire year. Too frequent provision is made only for the winter months. The severest test sometimes comes in midsummer rather than in midwinter, when the tendency to be to trust to chance and let the dairy cow take the season's feed, supply as it comes. The milk supply of the average creamery falls off more rapidly on pasture in "dog days" than in the midst of winter. Milk yield lost by the herd at any season of the year can never be fully regained.

The entire subsequent yield during any period of location mainly gov-' erned by the extent of the decline during an unfavorable period, The dairy hferd that makes the best yield must have no adverse periods at any time. It is the' evenly sustained yield rather than the sudden spurt that determines' the year's total. 1 Points In Favor of Dairying.At a recent meeting of the Georgia. State Dairy association ding in summing up the points 4n vor Of dairying said: "The: first-advantage of dairying it takes less fertility from the soil than- other branches of farming. A ton of wheat takes $7 out of the farm and.

sells for than $16." Young man, think of time you sell $)6 worth of wheat you charge up on the debit side- Of Nyour account $7 gone from, the value of your farm. Is it, then, any wonder that the wheat farmers the northwest impoverished their farms until they could not-make a living on them? President Redding next 'said. "A ton butter takes J0 cents' worth of plant food the farm and' sells for from $400 to $600." He says com Is needless. It was this fact that saved the whfeat farmers in the above instance, for they turned their attention to dairy -workand are -now among the most prosperous farmers in the (V-i SRUSH FOR' CATTLE, fhe'Cow WallaihliroaKh and f. the -v When cattle'are running at large in' the field, there is an.

It is the of O.

The shed has at its inner end a of brushes so arranged as to leave an oblong opening much smaller than the body in order that the flies may be brushed off as. the animals pass through to gain an entrance-to the interior. During the pa s- THE APPARATUS AND BRUSH. sage of the cow the only place from which light can enter the shed is through the overhead, chamber, to which the insects fly as they are brushed off.

The amouiit of milk produced by herd of milk "cows does always depend upon the grain Early cut hay, not too coarse, taken in without rain or too much drying, will produce a good flow of milk with much" less 'grain than which has ripened more? This we had a chance to test recently when changing from a mow of early cut. hay. There were a few loads of late cut on the second jnow, and this kind of hay, although sweet and nice in every respect, except that it- was cut late, caused a falling off of from 15 to 20 per cent in milk. The cows regained the loss a'fter we drew the late cut hay to the horse barn and commenced feeding cows on the early cut down a little in the mow.

It has been stated in reputable papers that the early cut hay contains more protein than that cut later in the season. I asked the speaker at the institute about that, and he said it was not true that the early cut hay is more palatable and the cows, eat more and do better, that is all. I presume he is right. We were feeding a fair amount of protein in the grain feed anyway. Palatability made a big difference, and the cows told us about it right H.

Lyon in Rural New Yorker. Silage or Hay. The fourteenth annual report of the Vermont experiment station, J. L. Hills director, contains much helpful information along feeding lines to dairymen and Among other problems the feeding of silage jin comparison with hay was undertaken.

A uniform, grain allowance was fed all the cows. Then some received silage and only. The conclusions are as follows: (1) Seven per cent less milk" anft butter were made when- silage was omitted from the ration than were inside when it was included. This statement is likewise true for the unit of dry matter eaten. (2) quality of milk remained unchanged.

without exception a change silage to hay was accompanied by shrinkage and a change from hay to silage by increase in the milkx flow. A gain of 1 2-3 cents 'day per cow as a ftssult of replacing1 one-tlm-d of the hay by silage is obtaiiied when silage is rated at $3 and liny at $10 per ton. Professor Hills eloses his as follows: "The question for the dairy farmer has from 'Can I afford to build a to 'Can 1 afford to' be withoiit.a. 4 Feeding? Calves.

It is true that it requires some littfij? time and labor to heat the milk, if it has been returned from the creamery, but this time and labor are generally profitable If care is the animal in other respects. The hadd separator ln this regard has many over the praotice of taking milk to. the creamery, having it skimmed thdre and returning it td be I fed to chives at convenience. IX WE Lands in For sale. "''1 DENMARK'S DAIRY QUEEN.

(he Woman Whp Has Made Danish Bntter Famoni In Europe. The high standard attained by Danish better is partly due to the energetic work of one woman, Prau Hanne Nielsen. Her name, is familiar, to all people of Scandinavian to those in any way interested in dairy work throughout all Europe, says M. Mostensen in Creiamery Journal. Hanne Nielsen's farm is loeated about eight miles north of Copenhagen.

She makes butter and cheese for the royal families of Denmark and HANNE NIELSEN. This has gained for her a great reputation, but it is mainly by her work as a teacher that she has.exerted the greatest influence in the butter making industry of her Country. Frau Nielsen was born Sept. 11, 1829, on a farm near the place where she now resides. When nineteen" years of age she was married to Hans Nielsen.

He bought his home, Havarthigaard, and there they have resided ever since. Mr. Nielsen was a very industrious man and up to date farmer. They had been milking several cows and selling their product. Dissatisfied with the profits of their dairy herd, Mrs.

Nielsen offered her husband a bigger price for his milk and made it into butter and cheese. Though successful from the very start, when her plans were her methods somewhat amateurish, she was dissatisfied with results. She realized that it was necessary for her to Educate herself in that particular line before she would be really successful. She was not satisfied with being able to make butter and chWse as good as that produced fey other farmers' wives in the neighborhood. In addition to extensive and deep reading on dairy subjects Mrs.

Nielsen visited Norway, Sweden, Switzerland. France and otherl countries in search of knowledge, ahd for years she has been the acknowledged dairy queen of Denmark. Up to the present time about 1,000 Danish butter makers have studied under Nielsen. It is worthy of note that she has partly trained all of the present state dairy instructors in (Denmark, W1U Convene In. Milwaukee, North Dakota 1 and Lots in Austin at bargain prices.
