FRESHENING  time  Is  the  most  critical  period  in  ths  Jifo  of  a  cow  or  heifer.  No  injury 
cr  sieimcs  has  such  disastrous  rest:  ‘s  as  failure  fo  properly  clean.  Many  cows,

Instruction  for  Milk  Testing 
I  am  specially  interested  in  the  study 
of  cow  testiug  and  grading.  I  have  been 
graduated  from  high  school  and  have  had 
a  year’s  course  in  college,  general  chem¬ 
istry.  About  how  long  do  you  think  it 
would  require  for  me  to  tit  myself  as  a 
ytate  milk  inspector,  or  ns  n  tester  of 
cows  for  advanced  registry?  About  what 
salaries  do  su<  h  an  official  receive? 
Houghton,  N.  Y.  L.  s.  S. 
The  State  College  of  Agriculture  at 
Cornell  University,  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  offers 
12-week,  two-year  and  four-year  courses 
in  agriculture,  these  courses  including 
practical  work  in  milk  testing  and  allied 
subjects.  A  12-weeks’  course  would  fit 
you  for  official  testing  of  private  herds. 
The  men  who  obtain  employment  at  this 
work  now  receive  $2.50  per  day  and 
board  while  at  work.  Only  a  limited  num¬ 
ber  of  men  can,  of  course  be  employed  by 
the  supervisor  of  official  tests.  Commer¬ 
cial  milk  plants  also  employ  men  in  milk 
testing  and  similar  duties,  but,  in  large 
plants,  men  who  have  had  such  training 
in  bacteriology  as  is  given  in  the  four-

year  agricultural  courses  are  preferred. 
Milk  testing,  in  itself,  can  hardly  be  con¬ 
sidered  an  occupation.  It  is  a  part  of  the 
work  done  by  employees  in  commercial 
plants,  and  by  those  who  supervise  local 
cow  testing  associations.  A  young  man 
fitting  himself  for  expert  work  in  an3r  of 
the  various  branches  of  the  dairy  indus¬ 
try  would  naturally  expect  to  include 
this  in  his  training.  M.  B.  D. 
Farm  Butter  for  Storage 
Should  butter  he  rinsed  more  than 
once  or  does  it  spoil  the  grain  of  butter? 
Should  one  packing  for  Winter  use  work 
butter  more  than  twice,  once  when 
churned,  second  when  packed,  or  does  it 
require  more  working  I  ehuru  once  a 
week,  as  I  have  only  one  milking  a  day. 
Is  the  cream  too  old  for  packing  for 
Winter  butter?  mrs.  e.  l.  k. 
Butter  that  is  intended  for  Winter  use 
should  be  made  from  only  the  choicest 
cream.  I  would  hesitate  to  pack  butter 
if  churning  was  done  but  once  a  week, 
at  this  season  of  the  year.  In  order  to 
have  first  class  butter  in  Winter,  the 
cream  must  be  in  first-class  shape  when 
churned.  Whether  the  butter  should  re¬ 
ceive  more  than  two  washings  depends  on 
the  condition  of  the  cream  when  churned. 
If  the  weather  is  cool,  so  that  the  butter 
comes  in  good  shape,  one  washing  is  suffi¬ 
cient  ;  hut  if  warm,  so  the  butter  is  filled 
with  the  white  flakes  so  often  complained 
of,  the  washings  should  continue  until 
the  water  is  clear  and  free  from  flakes. 
Only  two  workings  need  be  given — one 
when  churning  is  done  and  one  when 
packed.  The  cause  of  the  white  specks 
so  often  complained  of  is  too  high  tem¬ 
perature  of  the  cream.  If  you  notice,  in 
the  Winter,  when  pasteurizing  of  our 
milk  is  practiced,  you  will  never  see  the 
white  specks.  It  is  only  in  hot  weather. 
Please  think  of  this  next  Winter  and  re¬ 
port  if  you  find  any  flakes.  I  have 
packed  butter  not  only  for  Winter  use, 
but  for  our  local  market,  and  always  re¬ 
ceived  more  per  pound  than  was  being 
pai  l  for  Winter-made  butter. 
Our  “modus  operand!”  is  this:  First, 
have  your  butter  in  perfect  condition,  for 
an  inferior  article  will  not  improve  any 
with  age.  I  use  one-gallon  jars  for  pack¬ 
ing,  for  the  reason  that  when  opened  it 
is  short-lived  and  like  eggs,  fruit  or  any 
other  storage  articles  will  not  keep  a 
great  length  of  time  after  being  exposed 
to  the  air.  Ic  is  best  to  have  new*  jars, 
bnt  if  old  ones  are  used,  they  should  be 
thoroughly  cleansed,  and  new  or  old,  let 
them  he  filled  with  strong  brine  and  stand 
over  night  and  pack  without  further 
cleansing.  Be*  particular  in  packing  to 
have  the  butter  pounded  down  good  ami 
solid,  until  within  an  inch  or  so  of  the 
top.  Cover  with  clean  muslin  and  fill  the 
remaining  space  with  salt.  Cover  with 
an  inverted  plate,  weight  with  a  clean 
stone  a ud  put  into  your  barrel  or  what¬ 
ever  receptacle  you  have  for  your  brine. 
When  through  packing  weight  down  with 
a  large,  clean  stone,  supported  on  a 
wooden  frame  placed  on  top  of  the  jars. 
They  have  to  be  well  weighted  or  they
