Carbonated Butter 
Will you give us some information 
about making butter by forcing air out 
with the use of carbon gas? E. D. B. 
Mayville, N. Y. 
The process of manufacturing car¬ 
bonated butter is covered by patents held 
by Prof. W. Heath. Therefore, we are 
unable to give you the details of the pro¬ 
cess. This method is based on the sup¬ 
position that if the air is forced out of 
the churn and replaced with a gas lacking 
free oxygen, bacterial and other chemical 
changes will be checked and the keeping 
quality of the butter improved. It is 
claimed that under ordinary conditions 
the oxygen which is in the incorporated 
air of the butter Unites with the nitrogen 
in the curd or casein of the butter. This 
process of progressive oxidization, as it is 
called, produces a catalase which causes 
butter to go rancid. j. w. B.

Difficult Churning 
I have a cow seven years old, and 
always had good luck with my butter. 
Now I can get no butter; for the last 
three weeks it foams and no butter comes. 
The cow is coming fresh iu March. 
New York. airs, b. 
The difficulty which you are exper¬ 
iencing in butter-making lies in the fact 
that your cow is almost dry. Many cows 
before calving will produce milk which 
contains such small fat globules that but¬ 
ter cannot bo churned from the cream 
except with difficulty. Cream from some 
cows’ milk at such times will not even 
churn at all. There is little I hat can he 
done to correct this fault. The milk and 
cream will be normal again as soon as 
the cow freshens. , j. w. b.

What is the trouble when the cream 
tastes bitter and takes some time—two 
to four hours—to churn? The blitter 
tastes hitter. The cream gets hitter while 
setting in the pan. I am very careful to 
have my pans clean, and put the pans 
every day in fresh air. also the churn. 
I have one cow; she will be fresh about 
June. w. A. F. 
New York. 
Bitter cream and butter may result 
from one of several causes. 1. Feed 
which contains certain weeds and highly 
flavored plants will impart had flavors 
and odors. 2. Some cows give hitter milk 
as they approach the end of their milking 
periods. K. Bitter flavor more commonly 
results from holding cream too long a time 
at low temperatures before churning. It 
may develop in the starter us"d for ripen¬ 
ing the cream. Tt also comes from the 
action of bacteria which are brushed 
from the cow’s udder at milking time. 
The following remedies are recommended : 
1. Cream should not be held at well- 
water temperature more than two days. 
2. Set the starter with a small amount 
of mother starter at 70 degrees Fahren¬ 
heit. rather than a large amount at fi5 
degrees. 
•'5. Milk clean cows into clean pails, in 
clean stables, by clean hands. j. w. B.

landling a Kicking Cow 
I am rather lute to help out the man 
who was having trouble with kicking 
cows, but it may help some of your 
readers to know our method of controlling 
them. Take a strap 6 ft. long and 1 in. 
wide, with a buckle at one end, the other 
end being inmchcd at intervals of T|4 iu. 
from the- end to a distance of about 2 ft. 
Put this clear around the lefr hind leg 
above the joint once, then crossing the 
ends pur the one that is punched around 
the right leg, malring a full turn, and 
slip it through the buckle, which, brought 
between the legs from the hack of the 
left leg. should just come around the 
flint of the right leg. and when the other 
cud i< slipped through and pulled tight 
it will draw towards the back of the 
right leg. By shoving her so that she 
steps over, the straps can he tightened. 
If the strap is tight enough the cow can¬ 
not get her foot in the pail. She will 
probably dance around when she first 
discovers her plight, but will soon settle 
down. 
If the cow is too fractious to allow the 
straps to be put on. tie a rope tightly 
around her stomach just in front of her 
udder and she cannot prevent it being 
put on, hut it is too binding to leave that 
way. This method does not hurt the cow, 
and certainly is much better than whip¬ 
ping, which will only frighten her and 
the rest of the cows, to say nothing of 
the effect upon tender-hearted children. 
The worst of ir is a man cannot usually 
punish an animal in a docent manner as 
if he thought it the best thing to do, hut 
must get off a big line of talk in a loud 
voice and make it. phi in to everyone that 
he is just working off Ins mftd—no refer¬ 
ence to the man previously mentioned, 
whom I do not know. 
When heifers get nsed to the milking 
process the straps may he left off. but 
should be put on at the first recurrence 
of kicking, so they will know just what 
to expect. I have found this helpful with 
an older cow that had spells of kicking, 
and after milking left it on a while, and 
she was careful not to repeat. Tti this 
inanuer I can treat bad cuts which would 
otherwise be impossible. E. U, BEMIS.
