STATEMENT OF DANIEL H. HALE. 



The following is a statement in regard to the sample of 

 butter entered by me, for premium : — 



It was made from the milk of grade Jersey Cows ; the milk 

 is strained in shallow pans, in a cool room, and allowed to 

 stand until the animal heat is gone, when it is removed to the 

 milkroom ; in 3G hours it is skimmed, the cream is kept until it 

 is a little changed, then churned in a Blanchard churn, until 

 it comes to the granulated state, when the butter-milk is drawn 

 off and cold water put in ; after churning briskly a few seconds 

 this water is drawn off, and more water put in and churned as 

 before ; the butter is then taken out and thoroughly worked 

 over, and salted, about 9 ozs. of salt to 10 lbs. of butter being 

 used ; it is then put compactly in earthen pans, and set on a 

 cool cellar bottom. After remaining 24 hours, it is again 

 worked over (much care being taken that all the butter-milk 

 is extracted), weighed, balled up, and again set on the cellar
