GOOD BUTTER-MAKING RULES Best Churning Temperature Is 58 De grees on Ordinary Thermometer Care for Cream. (Clomson Collogu llullc(lii.) Cream Is made up of little fat glob ules floating In milk. In making but ter the fat globules are brought to gether Into n mass and the milk Is re moved ns buttermilk. These fat glob ules will stick better when they nro Just the right temperature than they will If either too warm or too cold. A good temperature for churning Is fi8 degrees on an ordinary thermometer. When the cream Is the right sourness it churns better than when sweet or too sour. The cream should be kept nt CO degrees or lower till the day be fore churning. Then warm It up to 70 degrees, or room bent, which will bring about tlie souring by thu next day. When the barrel Churn Is used, al low gas to escape every few minutes at first. When the butter begins to come keep a close watch and stop churning when the' butter granules :ire tho size of wheat kernels. Draw iff tho buttermilk and wash In the rhurn repeatedly with cold water till tho buttermilk Is nil removed. Then remove the butter from churn and work It with a paddle.

When the time comes for feeding sllngo the top layer, which will be found to be molded, should bo re aioved. The molded part usually ex tends for scverni Inches below the surface. At least tw Inches of silage should be fed each day In order to prevent tho formation of the mold. The top of the silage should bo kept level so as to expose the smallest sur face possible to the air. Only enough silage for one feeding should bo put out, as It soon dries out If not fed nt once. ROUGHAGE OF HIGH QUALITY Average New York Cow Credited With $66.09 Yearly Income Scrub Cows Responsible. Success In dairying Is based on tho production of high qunllty roughage. The truth of this basic principle of dnlry farm management finds support In estimates recently made by the New York State college of the average dulry cow's product In that state. The nver ogo New York cow Is credited with only $00.09 total Income yearly. The cost of maintaining her Is estimated at $01.85, not including tho cost of labor. The difference nmountlng to only $4.25 a cow, would give to the man who Splendid Type for Milk. cured for 20 cows n yearly wage of $85 which Is less than the lowest wage paid to ordinary farm labor. Scrub cows nre lurgely responsible, it Is said, for this poor showing In New York and the college ndvlscs that they bo weeded out If dairy herds are to be profitable to the farmer. These herds may be Improved greatly by better breeding methods and by eliminating the culls. Behind the cows lies the farm on which they nre kept. If tho form Is not properly mannged, the cows are laboring under a Bevero han dicap. FIRST FEED FOR YOUNG CALF Skim Milk Is Given Soon a Prac ticable and Continued Until Ani mal Is Six Months Old. At first the calf is fed whole milk, tho quantity being gradually Increased. Skim milk Is substituted as soon ns practicable and, If cheap, 4s continued until the cnlf is six months old. Or dinarily the maximum quantity of skim milk that can bo fed economically Is 20 pounds a day. When the calf is two weeks old, grain and bright, clean hay should be offered; the quantity fed should bo increased us tho calf's uppctlto demands. COMMON CAUSES OF SCOURS Overfeeding, Milk That la Cold or Sour, Dirty Palls, Troughs or Stalls Are Blamed. Indigestion Is the cause of common scours. This generally occurs when thq calf !h from two weeks to a month old. Prevention Is the best remedy. The common causes of indigestion arc overfeeding, feeding milk that Is cold or sour, feeding sweet milk one menl and spur tho next, dirty pulls, troughs or stalls.
