Milk  and  Butter 
Storing  Butter  for  Winter 
Will  you  let  me  know  how  to  put  away 
butter  for  use  in  the  Winter,  and  when 
\  is  the  best  time  of  the  year  to  do  so? 
Angola,  N.  Y.  L.  B. 
The  very  best  way  to  keep  Summer  but¬ 
ter  for  Winter  use  is  to  make  it  the  best 
one  can,  and  put  it  into,  cold  storage,  and 
take  it  out  as  wanted.  The  times  have 
changed  so  in  regard  to  buttermaking, 
that  there  is  little  call  for  information 
along  this  line.  The  art  of  making  butter 
to  keep,  is  to  make  it  of  fairly  ripened 
cream,  the  cream  of  a  churning  to  be  as 
nearly  as  possible  of  one  age,  getting  the 
buttermilk  all  out  of  the  butter,  as  this  is 
what  spoils  it,  and  then  putting  the  finish¬ 
ed  product  in  a  very  cold  condition  with 
the  temperature  as  uniform  as  possible. 
The  inquirer  is,  we  suppose,  asking  this 
from  a  farm  standpoint,  with  the  average 
conditions  only  at  hand,  a  thing  more 
difficult  to  do  than  where  great  creamery 
conditions  with  perfect  cold  storage  exist. 
From  the  gathered  traditions  of  dairy¬ 
ing.  the  month  of  .Tune  was  considered  the 
best,  season  for  making  butter  to  “pack 
down,”  instead  of  "storage”  as  now.  The 
cream  for  a  churning  should  not  be 
“aged”  in  any  degree,  just  mildly  ripe,  and 
rather  thick  in  quality.  In  June,  churn 
the  thick  cream  down  below  60  degrees, 
preferably  in  a  revolving  churn.  As  soon 
as  the  butter  granules  appear  distinct  and 
in  the  father  smaller  than  wheat-kernel 
size,  add  a  pail  of  water  at  about  50  de¬ 
grees,  to  which  a  little  salt  has  been 
added  ;  revolve  the  churn  a  few  times,  and 
let  the  butter  float  on  the  surface  for  two 
minutes.  Then  draw  out  the  diluted  but¬ 
termilk.  Add  more  water,  not  too  cold, 
and  repeat  this  process  until  the  exuded 
water  is  fairly  clear.  It  is  the  buttermilk 
you  need  to  get  free  from  ;  it  is  that  which 
makes  the  butter  rancid  later  on.  The 
last  washing  I  would  have  the  rinsing 
water  pretty  salty  to  cut  out  the  remain¬ 
ing  buttermilk. 
Salt  in  the  churn,  working  in  the  salt 
by  revolving  the  churn.  Break  up  the 
lumps  as  they  form  with  a  little  wooden 
fork  and  churn  more.  A  butter-worker  is 
not  essential.  Churning  the  butter  does 
not  injure  the  “grain”  or  make  it  salvy. 
Work  down  dry  and  pack  at  once;  put 
small  amounts  of  butter  into  the  crock,  or 
tub.  at  a  time,  and  press  out  any  surplus 
moisture.  When  the  package  is  quite  full 
put  on  a  well  fitting  layer  of  paraffine  pa¬ 
per,  then  a  layer  of  fine  salt  put  ou  as 
nearly  as  possible  an  air-tight  cover,  and 
put  this  package  into  the  coolest  place 
possible  on  the  farm,  where  the  temper¬ 
ature  remains  as  uniform  as  possible.  A 
corner  of  the  ice-room  Of  the  ice-house  is 
a  good  place,  but  not  in  direct  contact 
with  the  ice.  Much  useful  information
