BUTTED, MAKING ON THE FARM.1 As a matter of course, everyone who keeps cows for the purpose of making butter, is desirous of making an arti- ale that will bring the best price poo- Bible, and of making the greatest am- ount of butter possible out of the milk produced, writes C. P. Gooder%h. When the milk is delivered to a creamery it is usually manufactured by those• who have been well instructed in the art of butter making, and the result is that, as a rule, a fairly good article is made. Besides this, the creamery is equipped with appliances which enable its butter maker to obtain very nearly all the butter containedin the milk ; and by his knowledge of what the gen- eral butter market demands, be is able to produce an article which is readily sold. But the case is different with those who make butter on farms, where by far the greater part of the butter in this country is made. While on some fans excellent work is done and a choice article is made which brings a fancy price, yet through ignorance of, correct methods of manufacture, and of the demands of the market, an& in many instances, through careless and ' slovenly babits, the great bulk of farm made butter fails to bring the price it should, entailing a loss an the fanners of the country which to enornlous U1 the aggregate. It is for the benefit of the latter class that this article is writ- ten, ritten, with the hope that some sugges- tions may be given, and some ideas ad- vanced, which will serve to improve the methods of the dairyman and increase his profits. Good Milk.—Tc make good butter one must have good milk, and this comes only from healthy cows, fed on good, sweet pasture, or on good, sweet grain, and other forage and which have pure water to drink and pure air to breathe. Certain obnoxious weeds --leeks, wild onions, rag -weed and others -give the milk and the butter made from it a de- cidedly had flavor; so alsoo doee. damag- ed, g - ed, rotten silage, moldy corn fodder or hay ,and musty, damaged grain. Im- pure water has its affect, both in the health of the animals and on the qual- ity of the milk. In many pastures are seen email pools In which the cows stand during the heat of the day to rid themselves of flies. The water in these becomes filthy and is kept stir- red up by the movements of the cattle, case, it is a often the a d vhere isf an r s the only water obtainable, the cows are compelled to drink it. This can be usu- ally avoided by fencing the pond and keeping the cattle out. If this water is needed for the cattle it can be drawn out by a pipe, laid on the lower side into a trough from which the cows can ventilated stable, where there is too drink. In a close, crowded, and illy little air space for each animal, the air becomes foul from exhalations, and this affect~ the milk as well as the health at the animals. The remedy in this case is to provide more room for the stock and better ventilation. The sta- ble should be kept as clean as possible and the cows well bedded and clean. The utmost cleanliness should be ob- served in milking. All dirt should be brushed from the cow before beginning to milk, and it is best to dampen the udder and flank of the cow, so as to prevent. the dust and fine dirt, from falling into the milk, The milk should be strained immediately after milking and not allowed to stand in the cow stable• any longer than is absolutely necessary. A good strainer is indis- pensable, and one of cloth is much bet - ipgauze. Milk ails t. Ulan one of wireu exg made oftin and the' should always be , ' seams should ibe soldered smooth, so that there will be no places for the dirt to lodge where it will be difficult to 'remove. They, as well as all other dairy utensils, should. be thoroughly scalded with boiling water or steam. They should then be dried in fresh air, and, if possible, in the sunlight: They 'will not need wiping after the scald- ing, as the heat frau the boiling water todryquickly. In will cause therm wi!

They should be cared, but it will not do to have them math exposed to the sun, as that will cause warping and cracking. Creaming the Milk.—When good clean milk has been secured, the next opera- tion is to separate the cream from the body of the milk. The old way, prae- tiLed by our mothers and our grand- mothers, was to set the milk in shallow pans with the milk not moire than two or three inches deep. The writer of this has been through all the successive • stages of dairy methods. First, we used to set our milk in common ten -quart tin pans on shelves ; then we had it ar- ranged so that in hot weather cold wa- ter flowed around the pans to keep the milk cool. After that, large shallow pans were used, each one large enough to Mold a single milking of the entire herd of twenty-five or thirty cows. Un- der these pans were water channels, through which in waren weather cold water was run, in cold weather warm water to regulate the temperature of the milk. Then the deep cold -setting. was used in both " shot -gun " cans and Cooley .cans, and finally, for the past five years. the farm separator has bean used. 15 is undoubtedly true that by the old method of shallow setting as good a quality of butter was made, and can yei, be made, as is produced by any other method, :but it has its drawbacks, Uniformly good results cannot be ob- tained, that tile milk #wined, for the reason, being spread out in a thin sheet, is ex- posed, to the asss, so that it is readily affected by atmospheric changes. What- even- may be the reason, very bad ef- fects often follow an electric storm or thunder shower. The shallow pans make more work thin other metbods, the creaming is not so thorough as with the separator, and, therefore, the quan- tity of butter is less. As there are many persons who think they are so situated as to make any other method. impracticable, or who have such a deep - seat ed peejuciiee in favor of the old way that they cannot be inducers to 'change, it is thought advisable to give entree- tions as to the best manner of proceed- , THE 'EX ETER TIMES lug, as determined by the result of long 1.. �House. ' ears of practleaI experience, althoughAbout i1 he method itself is not recommended. Milk shout l bet p 'bl c es as soon as cess e after being drawn from the cow, wheth- er shallow or deep setting is used. With open setting it must be in a room ' where the air is pure. A pantry with a door opening into the kitchen is a ' bad place. The odor from cooking vegee tables and meat will surely injure the butter. Many make butter in a cellar because it is cool., but it is apt to im- part a musty, moldy smell to the but- ter. A cellar may be good and cool, and yet be so ventilated as to have pure air; then it is all right for butter streaking. To get the best results with shallow setting, the terapesrature of the milk should not go much above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. At that tempera- ture it can usually stand about thirty- six hogs. The time to skim is when the milk has soured just enough to be a little thick at the bottom of the pans and to thicken the cream. The cream cannot be skimmed off when it is thin and sweet without loss. No milk should be taken with the cream. Cream with milk in it sours much more rapidly than cream with no milk in it. This cream will be very rich and thick, and, al- though partially ripened when taken off, is kept at a temperature of CO de- hrees or below, it 'will be all right if eld tweed' three days before churning. Whenever a new skimming is put into the cream jar or can, the whole should be thoroughly stirred and mixed. In the wintea• effective creaming may be had when the room in which the milk Is set is very cool, even down near the freezing point. This is accomplished by beating the milk to, above 100 degrees Fahrenheit before setting, The cream will rise very rapidly while the tem perature is falling. The warming can kie retiei,ted after twelve hours, if the tank is i.n small pans, by setting over a kettle of boiling water, If large pans 1 axe used, such as have been described, I the heating is done by running hot Iva- ter through the water Channels be- neath the xriilk. This peat -tire of repeat- : ed beating and cooling makes very el - 1 feetive creaming, leaving but little but- ter -fat in the skim milk, and the cream is rhes and thick. SWEETNESS FROM FLOWERS. Development of a Process to battler It as tie Plant Grows. , It is now possible for us to have the genuine extract of the perfume of sny sortof , flower we desire. Nature and 'science are combined to bring about I this result. 'Tile idea is a simple one, g 'and allt 1 hinges on the old time methtid of condensation, a method which has given more to t;bie world than almost any other of science. Tthe plan devised to collect the odor of flowers is a product of the. brain of Captain Santee, The results are gabled by taking a glass funnel—any one wit 1 do—and over a spirit la mP letting the glass heat until it is possible to draw the stem of the funnel to a fine 4ioint—that is to pull it out,, to extend it until the proportion desired is gained. This accomplished, the funnel should be filled with ice and then placed upon a retort stand. It is absolutely nec- essary that the pointed end should then be placed in a small glass bottle, but at no time must the point be permitted to touch the bottle itself. Atter this has been done the stand and the fun- nel as arranged should be placed in a greenhouse right among the flowers whose odor it is desired to collect. Now coulees the scientific feature of the plan, the feature which brings sue- cess—coduieansattan. It is a well-known fact, that in every greenhouse a vapor rises from tthe flo'w'ers. If you happen to be in a, greenhouse and the portion you are in is occupied by flowers with strong perfunam, dust inhale the odor that conies from the glass through whicht he sun's rays pass. You will which this sun's nays pass. You will notice that upon the glass there is a mist just as is seen upon a windolw pane on a chilly morning when you breathe upon it. This vapor has about it an ordor, as distinct as the flowers thlemsclves. If there happens to be a. varlet of flowers, all i r 1 f we o Which exalt Y , erfumn i p e• tura comb natiom of odors is la) add one• .As a !matte&• of fact, thte idea for some of the most popular per- fumes of thte day has been gained in exactly this fashion. The apparatus deseribed is placed up- on the retort stared in the centre of a group of flowers wihose perfume it is desired to secure. Gradually the vap- or rises from the flowers, and. in meet- ing eeting the colder surfaoe of the funnel condenses n i ntodl •o• s upon o i n tih'e outside P of the funnel. cel From o mn theo'int of e condnsation it trickles down until it drops into the bottle. In a surpris- ingly short time a large amount of rf � is e cuts,, coil orad and analysise- pe ,ther at proves that ninety per cent. of the contents of the bottle is perfume. The nest is water. Strange to say, this essence of the flawless needs to be adulterated with spirits of wine. Otherwise it would be- come sour and useless. LARGEST or, LIBRARIES.
