Mottled Butter.
Question —Hon. O. B. Stevens, Com.
Agriculture: Dear Sir: I am trou
bled in my dairy business with waht
Is known as “Mottled Butter.” Please
give me the cause and remedy for it.
Answer —In reply to your inquiry we
beg to state that the answer to your
question is quite difficult, since the
opinions of dairymen differ widely on
this subject.
The peculiar spotted appearance
which we find in the uneven coloring
often seen in butter, is called “mot
tles” by dairymen. The chief char
acteristic of mottled butter is that some
portions of the same piece are much
lighter colored than others. This
condition is only noticeable when it
has stood a few hours after being
worked. The white specks that are
often seen in butter caused by small
pieces of dry curd, can hardly be
termed “mottled butter.” They can
be prevented by passing the milk
through a hair sieve strainer. Mot
tles occur more frequently in the
months of May, June and July, and are
oftener found in private dairies than
in the larger ones or in creameries,
because the proprietors of the small
dairies do not generaly have the best
machinery for handling butter.
The cause of mottles, however, is
yet in dispute. Our own opinion is
that uneven distribution of salt is the
chief cause.
Care should always he taken to salt
the butter when first taken from the
churn and none but the very finest
and cleanest salt should be used. It
should be thoroughly worked into the
butter while yet soft.
While it is true that butter may he
overworked, some of the best dairy
men suggest that, after it has been
worked, it should be set away in a re
frigerator and then be given a final
working. Some dairymen claim that
the.effect produced by two much cold
water and ice in handling milk and
butter is also a cause of mottles
Just why salt causes mottles has
-not been satisfactorily explained But
most dairymen now agree that the
salt drives out the buttermilk along
with excess of water in butter, and
the fact that unsalted portions appear
to have excess of buttermilk would
suggest this as a possible good expla
nation.

bring them out.

few days entertaining a new arri

Mr. J. P. Ellis, who formerly re
sided near McDonough, has moved
his family to the Waters place in
Tussahaw district, where he will
farm this year.
Blanton Welch is now devoting
the most of his time to the cotton
business.
Childs & Kimbell are putting in
a number of new telephones on
their line.
We regret that all the farmers
did not sell their cotton during the
recent high prices, but the great
majority of the poor people would
be greatly benefitted if the present
prices, or even lower, would prevail
until another crop can be made.
We are under obligations to Mrs.
M. C. Wyatt for a lot of’ fine beets
which she has kept during the win

The Post Office Department has
recently passed an order making
February 22nd a legal holiday, this

20,000 carriers in the service, all of

occasion.
We wish to repeat what we have
frequently said before, that Tymon
Mayo is the best road overseer in
the county.
Lemmie Dickson has applied for
a patent for his telephone attach-
ment. Manager Spinks will go

1 changes at New Hope church go
ing by the way of Morgans, Shaws,
Laneys and others, striking the
present route at Lilah school house.
Carrier No. 3, from Locust Grove,
who starts on this date, will serve
the patrons now served by No. 1

little confusion at first, they are
made with a view of serving more

generally.
Mysterious Circumstance.

compel good digestion and head off
constipation. Try them. Only 25?

for The Weekly
Tlie editor of the Dublin Courier-
Dispateh who has gone up against
those Christmas bills delivers him
self of the following witticism:
There may be more pleasure in giv
ing than in receiving, as some of
you realize during the late holidays,
but now you have, in Gastonian
parlance, the bill collector ‘‘after
you.”
An Early Kiser.
A strong, healthy, active consti
tution depends largely on the con
dition of the liver. The famous
little pills known as DeWitt’s Lit
tle Early Risers not only cleanse
the system but they strengthen the
action of the liver and rebuild the
tissues supporting that organ. Lit
tle Early Risers are easy to act, they
never gripe and yet they are abso
lutely certain to produce results
that are satisfactory in all cases.
