PRINTING BUTTER BEFORE PREPARING FOR MARKET
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
With the working complete, the op
erator remove the printer from the
bucket of cold wnter, grasps It with
'both hands and presses It repeatedly
on the mass of butter until It Is packed
full. The butter at the bottom of the
mold Is then cut off smooth with the
paddle and the print Is pushed out on
a sheet of parchment butter-wrapping
(i paper and neatly wrapped. The
square mold Is used because square
prints can be wrapped easily and neat
ly and because such print has become

standard on the market. Good square
molds can be purchased from local
hardware stores or dealers in dairy
supplies for from $1.25 to $5. Only
regular parchment paper made for the
purpose should bo used for wrapping
butter. It can be obtained from llrms
handling dairy supplies. The ordinary
waxed paper commonly used for wrap
ping lunches should not In; used for
wrapping butter, as it tears easily and
sticks to the butter.
The placing of the wrapped print
of butter In pasteboard boxes or car
tons protects the butter from finger
prints, dust, and dtrt. Parafllued Car
tons are preferable because they do
not absorb water and becume they
form u stronger and tighter package.
The trade-mark or butter-maker's
name on the carton serves as an ad
vertisement. Cartons bearing any de
hired deslgu or printing can he ob
tained at small cost from firms han
dling dairy supplies.
The appearance of the package of
butter determines Its selling price to
a considerable extent, and every effort
should be made to have it as neat, at
tractive, and convenient to handle as
possible. The square print neatly
wrapped shows at u glance its advan
tages over the semlround print which Is
exposed to files, dust, and other con
taminating things. Even If the semi
round print Is wrapped In parchment
paper It Is Impossible for it to make
an attractive appearance. Compare
such a print with u pound of butter
wrapped and placed in u carton. If
you were a purchaser, which would
you prefer?
Washing the Churn.
In washing the churn, it should first
be rinsed with lukewarm or cold wa
ter and then scrubbed with a fiber
bruBh, cleansing powder, and hot wa
ter, then scalded, nd set In a clean,
sunny place to drain and dry. In
washing the churning utensils a fiber
brush is much more effective than the
ordinary dlshrag. The brushes can bo
obtained at small cost from hardware
stores or from dealers in dairy sup
plies. Rome washing powder, such as
sal soda, is much better for cleansing
churns than soaps or soap powders.
WAASNAM
ALFALFA SEED SUPPLY
Turkestan Variety Imported to
Help Out Domestic Stock.
Not Well Adapted for General Use in
United 8tates and Particularly Un
desirable for Eastern Humid
Sections. '
From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
During the fiscal years ended June
80, 1013, 1014 and 1015, approximately
six million, five million, and seven mil
lion pounds, respectively, of alfalfa
seed were imported, while during the
fiscal year ended Juno 80, 1010, less
than three and one-fourth million
pounds were Imported.
For several years Russian Turkestan
has been the only country having a
large surplus of seed available for In
ternational trade, but the supply of
seed from this source has been prac
tically shut off since the beginning of
the European war, until the past win
ter, when shipments were begun by
the way of the trans-Siberian railway,
Vladivostok, and the Taclfic ocean. .Of
the Beed Imported Into the United
States since July 1, 1015, more thap
half has been from Russian Turkestan,
and no doubt moro of this seed will be
brought In as transportation can be
arranged.
The abort domestic supply of last
year, together with the decreased Im
ports, have resulted in a marked In
crease In the price of seed over that
of a year ago. Tho lack of alfalfa
seed in this country this year must be
made up by Importation, and this will
i necessarily be lurgely Turkestan seed.
It Is known that Turkestan seed Is not
well adapted for general use in the
United States and that It Is particu
larly undesirable for use In the eastern
humid sections. On the basis of Its
irclatlve crop-producing capacity, the
f trice of Turkestan seed should be low
Vr than that of domestic seed, and pur
chasers should know when they are
buying Turkestan seed. Conditions
may often be such that only Turkestan
seed can be obtained at the time and
place where seed is wanted, but In ev
ery instance tho purchaser should
know whether he is getting Turkestan
seed or not.
Turkestan seed can be distinguished
from other alfalfa seed by the pres
ence of certain characteristic weed
seeds. These seeds arc usually not
numerous, but no Importation of com
mercial Turkesran seed has been ex
amined by th need laboratory of the
department In which they were not
present. On account of these charac
teristic weed seeds not being plentiful,
It Is always necessary, In determining
the origin of the seed, to examluo a
bulk of seed, and not depend on the
examination of a small trade sample.
Anyone wishing to have alfalfa seed
examined, to determine Its posslblo
Turkestan origin, should send not les.i
than one-half pound of seed to the
seed laboratory, bureau of plant In
dustry, departmocit of agriculture,
Washington, D. O.
A discussion of th relative value of
commercial Turkcston alfalfa seed will
be found in department Bulletin No.

Seed."
