where conditions are favourable the butter 

 produced from this cream excels all other in 

 flavour, but the maximum yield of butter is 

 not obtained. 



BUTTER-MAKING 



In feeding for butter and cheese making 

 more care is required than when the milk is 

 sold. For this purpose the milk is best when 

 the cows are on grass. Very often in the 

 summer they receive, in addition, cotton-cake 

 or linseed-cake, poor in oil ; where the rich 

 cake is used the butter is sometimes affected. 



As butter is made all through the year, a 

 great part of the time the cows are on winter 

 rations. 



Either of the rations already given will 

 produce good milk. Swedes and mangels are 

 most valuable foods on the farm, but they 

 must be fed with great care, always imme- 

 diately before or just after milking or else 

 out of doors, to prevent taint in the milk, and 

 consequently in the butter also.
