QZSZNIZGISIMIZSb
'rROUDIX 111 CHURNING,
A coereepondent in a daisy lour -
nal asks the cause of milky brine in
butter, The (0151000 may be of in-
terest to 01.10 reaclerse--
The milky brine in butter is usu-
ally caused by churning the cream at
too high a temperature, and not al-
lowing the buttermilk to draM thor-
oughly fro113 granular butter after
churning. Tile experience described
inclicathe that the milky brie. is
caused by overripe cream and by fail-
ing to strain this cream into the
churn. The pieces of curd which are
the size of a ninhoad and quite hard,
evidently came front curd in. the
cream width NVOLS so sour that the
curd contracted into hard lumps and
then was not removed when the
buttermilk was drawn. If those Oco-
ee of curd are so small that they will
pass throiigh any strainer used
in straining the cream into the churn,
they may bo removed by washing the
granular butter in the churn in the
following way.
After the buttermilk has been
drawn off, 1111 the theme two-thirds
full of water. The granular butter
will all rise to the surface, because
butter is lighter than water; the
hard lumps of curd, however, being
heavier than water, will sink and
they may be drained off with the
wash water through the draM spout
at the bottom of the &urn. This
weighing and draining off of wash
water should be re.peated until by
inspecting it is shown that these
small temps of fine hard curd aro all
removed. In this way the granular
butter is cleaned from ctu.d, so that
it may be salted and worked ready
(or packing.
The letter does not state what
kind of main ts received at the fac-
tory. If it is from- milk which is
separated at the factory, there is no
excuse for having these hard pieces of
curd in the cream, because under
such circumstances the butter -maker
shotdcl coetrol the ripening of the
cream and drum before it sours to
such an extent that the curd coagu-
lates and separates from the fat of
the cream. If however, the factory
receives hand separator crecun from
farmers, the butter maker Is not en-
tirely responsible for this condition
of the cream. In such a 0080 it is
pl'obablc that some farmers send a
very sotir cream that is causing the
trouble with the butter.
The ordinctry milky brine which
butter sometimes lies without the
presence of these white specks of
curd, may be easily overcome by
churning the crea1(0 at a temperature
below 55 degrees. A rich cream
churned Ett this temperature ought
to give a very clear brine -in fact
W'1200 the buttermilk is drained off it
may be noticed that the last pertioe

GREAT SIMPLON TUNNEL
PROGRESS OF_THIS IMIVIENSE
Tunnel Will be Open ha Less 7120.0
Two Years For RailweLy
Traffic.
Aceording to the contract, the com-
plete perforation of the Simplon Tun-
nel was fixed for November 21,
1903, and the opening for traffic of
the first single track tunnel for May
13, 1004, thus leaving six months
for the constructioe of the perman-
ent way, says 23. G. Ascher in The
London Chronicle. Iloteever, the un-
forseen difficulties of the undertalcing
have upset the plans. The bore clam-
pcises two disLinet porallel tennele,

connected cower 1120 ytuels by trans-
verse lealleries. To commence with,
only the eastern tunnel will be used
by trains. When the increase of
truffle juseilies a doable lino the
western tunnel, now measuring 30
feet 111 width by 8 feet in height,
will be enlarged to the dimensions of
the onetern tunnel, namely 3.0 fent
by 18 feet. The Simplon Tuenel
will be the longest 111 tile world,
Measuring 32 miles 444 88 a
matter of fact, it is so already, for
on March 2nd lost the combined'
length of the porthole' and soutbern

Clothard-9 miles 564 yards. The lat-
est official return thews that on
August ist last the piercing had
reached a distance of 7,400 yarels on
the south or Italian side, and 10,-
738 yards on the north or Swiss side,
which left 3,426 yards still to be
cut. The advance galleries from tha
Swiss portal have /1030 patisee both
the summit of the tunnel and the
frontier line between
SWITZERLAND AND ITALY
and are on the descending radient to
meet the minors coming up the cor-
responding sisceneling gradient from
Valeta. As the drainage of the tun-
nel is effected by graviey, 1102(3 that
tile Swiss miners have passed, the
mum:lit they are compelled to ramm
the water back. The volume anneints
to about 7,000 gallons per minute,
elm idea was for the two advances
to meet 011 the summit, but the Itali-
an has been greatly retarded by
landslips anti floods.
Since August 1st the rate of pro -
grecs of both advancehes averaged
from, nine to ten metree, say, 20
feet a day. As:turning that the same
rate of progress is umintalued, the
miners ought to join hands ou or
about jely 18, 3.004. It should be
explained that 'work in the tunnel
goes on unceasingly; the miners them-
selves observe only 011e holiday in the
year, namely, December 4t11, the feast
of Santa Barbara, who is their pat-
ron saint. This is f\ great field day
for tbe Government engineers, who
utilize the breathing thee for verify-
ing the axle by means of theodolites
and powerful neetylene lamps. Tho

tunnel for traffic on July 1, 1905, or
