square or six-sided. They are a little harder 

 to run but have the advantage that the 

 butter may be nicely worked before removal. 

 Next comes the barrel churn which is capable 

 of good work but runs rather hard and 

 takes some time to open when watching 

 the progress of the operation. 



Stop churning when the fine granules 

 first begin to show, and if there is danger 

 of its coming too soft, a small lump of ice 

 or a small quantity of cold water should be 

 added and churning continued till the gran- 

 ules are about the size of wheat grains. 

 In this condition all traces of the buttermilk 

 can be readily washed out with abundant 

 cold water. The salt should be added at 

 the rate of about one ounce to the pound, 

 more or less, to suit individual tastes. My 

 customers are economical and demand ij 

 ounces to the pound when butter reaches 

 the present high limits. The least working 

 which will express the surplus moisture and 

 thoroughly incorporate the salt will be 

 found best. 



The white spots in butter are very detri- 

 mental and need constant attention to every 

 detail to avoid. Too thin cream is prob- 

 ably the principal cause. The thinner 

 the cream the more skim milk it contains, 

 therefore more casein which curdles 

 and gives white spots. Most makers 

 prefer a cream testing about 30 per cent, 

 butter fat and the leading separators are 

 set to skim that density. The cheap machine 

 will not skim so rich in cream. 



Do not flush the separator bowl with skim 

 milk to secure the separation of what whole 

 milk is left in it. Use warm water instead. 

 I had no end of trouble with white flecks 

 until it dawned on me that part of this skim 

 milk used for flushing was causing the 

 trouble. Since using warm water the 

 trouble has disappeared. Uneven salt- 

 ing may cause the same effect. Rancid 

 taste usually comes from the development 

 of undesirable bacteria in the cream. Hold- 

 ing it at the proper temperature, ripening 

 rapidly and churning immediately will pre- 

 vent their development.

Some Night-blooming Flowers 



THE night-blooming cereus (C. grandi- 

 florus, C. nycticalns and C. triangularis) 

 always create a great deal of interest when in 

 flower. Although the flowers open for only 

 one night, there are usually sufficient buds 

 on a large plant so that the total time of 

 bloom extends over several nights. The 

 flowers open just after sundown and remain 

 open until the sun strikes them the following 

 morning; should the day be cloudy they 

 remain open till noon. 



These night-blooming cereus make a long, 

 straggling growth. The stems are irregular, 

 the angles having at intervals bunches of 

 short spines. The largest of these species is 

 triangularis; the flowers are often one foot 

 long and as much across. Grandiflorus and 

 nycticalus are fragrant and six to eight 

 inches across and the flowers of all three 

 species are white.
