No. 4.] MODERN DAIRYING. 117 



therefore I was correct in speaking of the modifying effect 

 of the sunlight. A Jersey gives milk which is much more 

 yellow than that of the Holstein, and in wintertime we arc 

 obliged to give even Jersey butter a certain amount of color, 

 in order to suit the market. We use scarcely any color in 

 June and July. 



Mr. Whitaker. The Dairy Bureau has had butter 

 brought to its attention for analysis from dealers in Boston. 

 They were under a little suspicion as to whether it was 

 process butter, or not. An analysis of it has shown that 

 it was honest butter. There was every indication that it 

 was the product of the udder of a cow. Can you tell us 

 about process butter? 



Ex-Governor Hoard. A man goes to work and buys all 

 the job dairy butter he can, and reduces it to butter oil. 

 He then clarities it by heat, skims off the impurities and 

 mixes it with milk, and by an infusing process incorporates 

 that butter fat with the milk. He runs that same milk and 

 butter fat through a separator, and forms the same as origi- 

 nal cream. He then ripens that cream and churns it, and 

 makes a process butter. I think that is the kind of butter 

 you alluded to. 



Question 1 . What is the average per cent of moisture in 

 butter? « 



Ex-Governor Hoard. We make butter with about 1G 

 per cent of moisture. If we were to put our butter into the 

 freezing process, we would add about 20. Be very careful 

 as to the character of the moisture. We have artesian 

 water in our creamery. Secure water that is free from 

 organic matter. We have about four thousand private 

 customers whom we furnish with butter. It is delivered at 

 their doors, and it must be buffer that will not shrink too 

 much in weight that will suit them. We cater }uM as 

 much as possible to what the taste and judgment of the 

 customers demand. 



Professor Brooks. I would like to inquire of the gov- 

 ernor if he would recommend de-horning cows. 



Ex-Governor Hoard. No more than I would de-tailing 

 them.
