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. EXTENSION SCHOOLS.

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? write to Mr, R. R .Cbllds, Division of Agronomy, Georgia State College of Agriculture, Athens, Ga.
