to  use  it  for  cooking  only  I  ebon  Id  advise 
melting  the  butter  and  mixing  it  with  hot 
water  at  rate  of  2  parts  water  to  1  of  oil. 
Ituii  this  through  a  separator  and  possibly 
repeat  operation  a  second  time.  You  will 
note  Hint  oil  will  come  Gilt  of  cream  spout 
and  water  out  of  skim-milk  spout.  Most 
of  had  flavor  will  come  off  with  the  water. 
You  can  set  fat  away  to-  harden  and  use 
as  wanted.  If  you  do  not  have  a  separ¬ 
ator  try  melting  the  butter  and  then  add 
1  part  hot  water  to  it.  The  pure  oil  will 
float  on  top  after  it  has  stood  for  some 
time.  It  can  then  be  poured  off,  hardened 
and  used  for  cooking.  H.  F.  J. 
Size  of  Cow  Stable 
I  intend  to  put  up  a  cow  stable  to  ac¬ 
commodate  about  five  cows.  Are  these 
dimensions  large  enough  for  the  law's  re¬ 
quirements?  Size  12x20  ft.  front;  7  ft. 
rear.  0  ft.  flat  roof,  paper  covering. 
Front  to  be  hoarded  2  ft.  from  bottom, 
balance  to  be  half  glass  and  muslin. 
Cows  to  be  fastened  by  either  stanchions 
or  chains.  Sleeping  part  to  be  raised 
about  10  inches  with  either  loam  or  board 
floor,  with  cement  back  part.  w.  K. 
New  York. 
There  are  no  State  laws  prescribing 
the  size  of  cow  stables,  though  your  local 
board  of  health  may  have  made  some 
regulations  with  regard  to  it.  The  official 
score  card  of  the  State  Department  of 
Health  gives  the  maximum  credit  for  500 
cubic  feet  of  air  space  per  cow,  and  no 
credit  if  less  than  200  cubic  feet  are  pro¬ 
vided.  Your  proposed  dimensions  allow 
only  about  the  minimum  space  of  200  ett, 
ft.  From  50  to  GO  square  feet  of  floor 
space  per  cow  are  usually  considered  nec¬ 
essary;  your  plan  provides  -18.  Four 
square  feet  of  window  glass  per  Cow  is 
given  the  maximum  score  on  the  official 
card  and  one  square  foot  is  allowed  credit, 
A  controllable  flue  system  of  .ventilation 
is  preferred,  though  windows  hinged  at 
the  bottom  or  arranged  to  slide  are  scored 
at  a  smaller  number  of  credits. 
It  is  not  a  rapid  road  to  wealth,  how¬ 
ever,  and  disappointment  will  be  avoided 
if  the  amateur’s  expectations  are  not  too 
rosy  at  the  start.  Guinea  pigs  of  the  age 
and  size  desired  by  tlie  laboratories, 
those  weighing  from  seven  to  12  ounces 
apiece,  ordinarily  bring  from  35  to  50 
cents  each.  They  may  he  brought  to  this 
size  in  about  six  weeks.  In  times  of  scar¬ 
city  prices  have  risen  to  $1  per  head,  but 
that  is  not  the  ruling  quotation.  Guinea 
pigs  are  subject  fo  various  diseases,  and, 
at  times,  an  epidemic  among  them  will 
make  the  supply  short.  At  these  times 
prices  rise,  fluctuating  with  the  supply 
and  demand.  As  in  other  lines  of  work, 
high  prices  stimulate  production,  while  a 
period  of  low  returns  drives  people  out 
of  the  business.  M.  b.  d. 
Dried  Sulphate  of  Iron 
t 
On  page  1273  A.  3.  A.  recommends 
“dried  sulphate  of  iron”  for  worms.  Does 
that  mean  sulphate  of  iron  crystals,  some¬ 
times  called  copperas?  C.  E.  C. 
Yes;  but  the  drying,  which  may  be 
done  on  a  stove  top,  removes  water  of 
crystallization  so  that  the  copperas  is 
readily  powdered  for  more  convenient  use.

Milking  Shorthorn  Sale 
The  sale  of  imported  milking  Shorthorn 
cattle  by  F.  8.  Peer  at  Cranford,  X.  .T., 
Nov.  28,  will  be  long  remembered  in 
Shorthorn  history  as  a  great  success. 
Seventy -three  animals  brought  under  the 
hammer  over  $781  per  head.  Buyers  were 
present  from  California,  <  )hin,  New  York, 
Pennsylvania,  and  even  little  New  Jersey 
will  hold  its  own  through  the  purchases  of 
Joseph  I.arocque,  of  Far  11  ills,  who  se¬ 
cured  some  of  the  tops.  Seventeen  head 
brought  over  $1,000  each,  topped  by 
Kebnscott  Viscount  19th,  a  showy  aud  ex- 
Ircmcly  well-bred  bull.  at.  $1,700,  going  to 
Dr.  C.  Way.  of  New  York.  H.  E.  Tener 
of  the  same  State,  also  secured  some  line 
animals.  The  blood  of  these  dual-pur¬ 
pose  attimals  will  be  well  diffused  through 
the  country  and  should  help  improve  the 
herds  into  which  they  go.  i.  j>.  M.

Renovating  Butter 
Is  there  any  way  of  renovating  butter? 
I  have  a  crock  of  butter  that  has  become 
very  rancid.  Can  you  tell  me  what  I  can 
do  with  it.  so  as  to  use  it  in  place  of  lard? 
New  York.  A.  G.  B. 
Butter  to  be  renovated  is  dumped  into 
vats  and  melted.  The  oil  is  then  strained 
and  run  into  large  tanks  where  it  is  held 
for  three  or  four  hours  at  a  high  temper¬ 
ature.  This  permit®  the  salt  and  curd  to 
settle  to  bottom  where  it  is  drawn  off 
through  a  valve  iu  bottom  of  tank.  The 
clear  oil  is  run  into-  a  second  set  of  tanks 
aud  kept  at  120  degrees  F,  lor  several 
hours.  During  this  time  pure  warm  air 
is  passed  through  the  fat  to  drive  off  ob¬ 
jectionable  flavors  and  odors.  The  oil  is 
then  mixed  with  clean,  slightly  sour  skim 
milk  iu  proportion  of  1  part  milk  to  1  % 
parts  oil.  The  mixture  is  made  by  pass¬ 
ing  air  through  it  or  passing  it  through  an 
emulsor.  The  emulsion  is  then  run  into  a 
tank  of  cold  water  and  the  fat  crystallizes 
out  on  top  and  is  scooped  off.  After  a  few 
hours  it  is  salted,  worked  and  packed. 
You  could  use  some  modification  of  this 
method  on  your  butter.  Since  you  wish 
Much  depends,  of  course,  upon  the  care 
given  a  cow  stable  aud  its  occupants.  A 
small  stab’  that  is  clean,  light  and  airy 
is  to  be  preferred  to  a  large  one  that  is 
dark  and  dirty,  but,  when  building,  it  is 
best  to  meet  the  maximum  rather  than 
the  minimum  requirements  of  the  health 
authorities.  When  milk  is  sold  for  ship¬ 
ment  to  New  York,  the  scoring  of  the 
stable  governs  to  some  extent  the  price 
received  for  the  milk.  M.  B.  D. 
Market  for  Guinea  Pigs 
Have  you  any  information  concerning 
profits  in  raising  guinea  pigs?  People 
tell  me  that  hospitals  are  very  anxious 
for  them  at  a  good  price.  R.  F.  ir. 
Pennsylvania. 
There  is  a  good  demand  for  guinea 
pigs  from  laboratories  where  they  are 
used  iu  experimental  medicine.  The  de¬ 
mand  is  constant  and  fair  prices  are  se¬ 
cured.  As  to  the  profit,  that  depends 
upon  many  circumstances.  Where  green 
food  can  be  secured  at  practically  no  cost 
and  the  time  involved  in  their  care  is  not 
an  important  factor,  one  should  get  some 
little  return  for  his  labor  and  investment.
