HINTS ARE GIVEN
ON MAKING BUTTER
Quality Is Big Factor In De
termining Price
■d „ ■
Most people who try to make but
ter find that it Is a very hard Job
to do right. When it is put on the
market they find oftentimes that it
does not bring the top price. The
reason for this is that it is lacking
in quality.
The following hints for making
good butter are given by Prof. Wil
liam H. Howell, Dairy Husbandman
of the Georgia State College of Agri
culture.
Use a floating dairy thermometer
and do not guess at temperatures.
Milk and cream should be ripened or
"turned" at 65 or 70 degrees Fahren
heit. Stir milk or cream occasionally
while it is "turning” or ripening. Reg
ulate the temperature of milk or
cream (before churning is begun) so
the butter will come in about thirty
minutes. NEVER pour warm or hot
water into the cream or milk.
Be sure to scald and cool chum
and other utensils before using.
Strain cream into church to remove
lumps of curd or clabber and add
enough color (a pure vegetable prod
uct) before starting the churn, to give
the butter a deep straw color. After
a few revolutions, open the chum to
allow the gas to escape. When the
butter particles have attained the
size of grains of wheat or small gar
den peas, stop churning.
Draw off buttermilk through a
coarse strainer to catch particles of
butter, which otherwise would be
lost. The butter should be washed
Until the water is clear. Salt
the butter In the granular condition,
using a heaping tablespoonful of salt
to each pound of butter. Work the
butter only enough to dissolve the
salt.
Mould the butter into brick-shaped
S rints and wrap it in butter paper 8
iches wide and 11 inches long. Prac
tice shows that all utensils should be
rinsed with cool or lukewarm water
to remove milk, and washed thor
oughly with brush, using hot water
in which washing soda has been dis
solved. Never use soap. Scald all
utensils with boiling water and let
them dry from the heat that is left
in them. NEVER use a dishcloth in
the dairy work for washing or drying
any utensil.
GIVE THE DAIRY COW
THE BEST OF CARE
- ■■ ■ /
Feed Her Kindness And Watch
Results
Perhaps In some sections of the
country more attention has been giv
«n to the proper and scientific feed
ing ol the dairy cow than in others.
The question of feeding a cow to get
a maximum production is by no
means a recent one. Farmers in new
dairy sections are constantly demand
ing the best ration to feed their cows. 1
The answer to this question is the ra
tion which has as its basis the idea of
greatest production at the least cost.
Oftentimes it may not be necessary to
consider the matter of cost. This, of
course, only occurs where milk Is con
sidered a by-product of the business
rather than the main source of reve
nue. A breeder must provido favor
able conditions for his herd aside
from furnishing the right amount and
kind of feed. These conditions are
as follows, says Prof. T. G. Yaxis,
Georgia State College of Agriouiture:
The stables should be well lighted.
At least four square feet of gluss space
should be provided for each cow.
Pure air is necessary. To obtain
this condition a proper system of ven
tilation should be installed. This is
very inexpensive and easy to install.
Every dairy should be provided with
the proper ventilation in order that
the health of the animals may be the
best at all times.
Pure and abundant water should be
readily available. Water not only as
sists in the proper digestion of the
different feeds that the cow con
sumes, but it is also necessary to fur
nish the large amount of water that
milk contains. Eighty-seven per cent
of milk is water. A cow needs as
much as ten to twelve gallons of wa
ter a day.
Salt should be fed regularly. At
least one ounce a day should be given
either alone or mixed with the grain.
Perhaps the most important of all
the points given under conditions is
kindness. Feed kindness to a cow,
and yon will reap wonderful results.
Unnecessary noise, pushing cows,
roughly handling them, dogs and
clubs have absolutely no place in th#
dairy stable if high production is the
goal.

A potato storage house holding from 2,500 to 3,000 bushels.
Build a sweet potato storage house
of wood, as it is drier than brick,
j stone or concrete. It is easier to op
-1 erate in regulating temperature. Never
use a “dug out,” as it is very expen
sive and cannot be kept dry. The
house should be placed 12 to 15 inches
above ground, so that the air will cir
culate freely beneath it. A 20x40 foot
house, 9 feet high at the eaves will
hold 2,600 to 3,000 bushels. These
potatoes may be placed in the house
In bins or in some other manner. A
plan that has proven very successful
in many storage houses has been to
use bushel boxes for storing the pota
toes. These boxes may be taken di
rectly to the field at harvesting, filled,
carried to the house and piled in
blocks of 500 bushels. Then, there
is no reason to rehandle the potatoes
until they are ready for market or the
market is ready for them.
A house 20x40 feet is built as fol
lows: Build three rows of pillars, two
under sides and one under center of
house. Let these pillars be at least
12 inches above .the ground. Use 6xß
or Bxß sill on top of pillars. On top
of sill place 2xß or 2xlo sleepers 24
inches apart. On the sleepers a floor
! of ship lap or matched boards Is laid,
1 then a layer building paper and 01
that matched flooring. The walls
are built by placing 2x4 studding 24
inches apart. On the outside put a
layer of ship lap, on it a layer of
building paper, and on the outside a
layer of weatberboardlng. On inside
put two layers of ship lap and between
them a layer of building paper. Al
low the inside wall to cover both stud
ding and rafters, thus running to top
of house. In south Georgia the weath
erbosrdlng will be sufficient for out
side wall. The side* should be well
tied together to prevent spreading.
Use 2x4 every four feet over bin par
titions for this purppse.

Samuel .1. Ki110w,7714 1 years old,
an ex Confederate soldier of Wal
nut Ridge, Ark., lias taken his lltn
bride. Wife No. 11 was Mrs. Agnes
O'Neal. Following are extracts
from the log of Mr. Killow’s voyage
on the turbulent matrimonial seas.:
On December 2G, 1868, he was mar
ried to Miss Mary Jane Patterson.
She died in 1873, leaving two chi!- \
then.
In IS7 * he married Lucretia San- j
tiers, who, as he expensed it, “soon !
i out loose from me.”
In 1882 he was married to Nancy.i
I Jane Ellison, who died in 1892.
In 1894 lie was married to Sarah
Ann Holcomb, who lived about four
years.
Some time later Mr. Killow mar-1
ried Elizabeth Hawes. Elizabeth left j
him "with the sack to hold,” as lie l
explains it.
Soon afterward lie married Mary
I Jane Robertson, who lived with him
1 a short time and then left for parts j
' unknown.
Mr. Killow then united with Mary j
I Acres, a widow with six children, but j
they soon disagreed and quit.
The next marriage was with Aman- j
I da McCritchen, who had five chldren. 1
j She died.
The ninth marriage was to Vinnie
Melton. Mr. Killow says they did not
live together long enough to get well j
acquainted.
Killow’s marital log hook makes no
mention of his tenth plunge into the !
matrimonial sea. but he admits that |
| something like that occurred.

Leave space between the walls open
for it keeps house dryer. The air
space is as good an insulator as saw
dust and keeps out moisture if the
plans given are followed.
Thorough ventilation is necessary.
Put a window every ten feet. In
house 20x40 feet put ventilator 8
inches square in each corner and on
each side of stove. Also 2 ventilators
are placed in top of building.
Doors should be tight fitting and
similar to an ice door. Windows
should be of the same kind and open
outward. Make doons and windows
so that they can be well padded. Ven
tilator in roof should extend above
ceiling to carry out warm air. All
ventilators should be provided with
tight-fitting covers. Provide cover for
venilators on top of house to keep
out rain.
The bins shown here are 4 feet
wide by 7 1/2 feet long. Sides and
bottoms made of Ix 4 slats. They are
placed 6 inches from inner wall and
4 inches above floor. This facilitates
circulation round and under bins.
Some store the potatoes in house in
crates thus eliminating the bins. But
when stored in crates the potatoes
must have the same ventlation as
when stored in bins.
In the middle of house a stove is
placed. A fire is started when the
workmen begin storing the potatoes
and the house is kept at a tempera
ture of 80 to 100 degrees until pota
toes are cured. This is about ten
days. Let hot moisture laden air out
through ventilators. After curing pe
riod is over, gradually lower the tem
perature to 65 degreeß during remain*
der of storing period.

materials for a potato storage house
