HINTS ARE GIVEN
ON MAKING BUTTER
Quality Is Big Factor In De
termining Price
Most people who try to make but
ter find that it is a very hard job
to (Jo 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.
Re sure to scald and cool churn
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 churn 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 wash 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
prints and wrap it in butter paper 8
inches 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
en to the proper and scientific feed
ing of 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.
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 provide 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. Yaxia,
Georgia State College of Agriculture;
The stables should be well lighted.
At least four square feet of glass 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
beet at all times.
Pure and abundant w r ater 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 you will reap wonderful results.
Unnecessary noise, pushing cows,
roughly handling them, dogs and
clubs have absolutely no place in the
dairy stable if high production is the
goal.

MAY SECURE SEED OF
PEDIGREED WHEAT
For Free Distribution To Farm
ers Of Georgia
The Georgia State College of Agri
culture, in co-operation with the Of
fice of Cereal Investigation, United
States Department of Agriculture, has
been carrying on work with the ce
reals for some years. A number of
imported strains have been tried from
time to time and a few of these are
promising. A large number of them
would not stand the winters that have
occurred in this section the last few
years,
In addition to trying out imported
Strains a large number of selections
have been made. Among the selec
tions now grown is one of Georgia Red
and one of Fulcaster. Last year these
two selections yielded considerably
above the original strain. This year
they are. giving promise of an in
creased yield.
Small quantities of this seed are
being distributed in the state through
members of the Georgia Breeders’ As
sociation, it being assumed that the
people who took enough interest In
plant improvement to become mem
bers of the Georgia Breeders’ Asso
ciation would be the best persons to
handle this wheat, The basis of send
ing out this wheat is that the College
furnishes the seed wheat in the fall
and gets one-fourth of the crop the
following year, The seed so secured
will be distributed again on the same
basis so as to get these strains as
widely scattered over the state as pos
sible.
One imported wheat shows a great
deal of promise at this time and If
the yields when threshed are in pro
portion to Its promise at this time,
some of this wheat will probably also
be distributed. Anyone interested lh
growing this wheat another year
should consult their county agent oj?
