we can well study the condition. There 
is nothing done there that we do not do 
here, and that we do not know how to 
do ; they have no secrets. The chief 
lever of the Danes to insure quality is in 
the skill with which they use artificial 
cultures of ferments to ripen their but¬ 
ter. In cultures of lactic acid, they are 
certainly in advance of us. There are 
differences in the character of the butter 
there and here. Every judge of butter 
must have a standard of his own. If I 
say a certain butter is good, I mean it 
suits my taste, or the taste of the men 
for whom I make butter. Who shall 
decide what is a good flavor in butter ? 
That flavor is best for a market that 
best suits the consumers in that market. 
In comparing Danish and American 
butter, we must consider the market 
which is to be supplied, and there is 
quite a difference. We know what is 
demanded by our markets, a high flavor. 
The characteristic aromatic oils are pro¬ 
nounced ; we want the right flavor and 
much of it. The European does not want 
a high flavor, just a suspicion of it. This 
quality which the European likes is 
more certainly brought about if we make 
use of cultures of lactic acid than if we 
trust to chance. This is the main differ¬ 
ence between Danish and American 
butter. The grain is better in the Ameri¬ 
can product. We produce just as good 
texture in butter as any I saw in Den¬ 
mark. Color and salt can be controlled 
by any one. We must look to the use of 
the pure culture starters as the point in 
which the Danes have the start of us. 
The use of pure culture starters is gene¬ 
ral in Denmark, and with this goes the 
destruction of the native germs. Ninety- 
five per cent of the dairies in Denmark 
Pasteurize their milk and use these pure 
culture starters. 
Their factories are superior in their 
management. Their sterilizing receives 
great attention. They have two cultures 
constantly going, and select from the 
one which has the best flavor. The cul¬ 
tures are propagated from day to day, 
and if anything comes in from out¬ 
side, it will give a bad flavor. A Danish 
buttermaker would feel disgraced should 
his starter get a bitter flavor. They 
frequently start their own cultures, 
which improve with use and become ac¬ 
climated as it were. Where they can do 
this, they must exercise the most scrupu¬ 
lous care in the factory. If we use com¬ 
mercial starters with success, we shall 
have to exercise greater care than we do 
now. If we are to become successful 
exporters, this thing we must learn to 
do. They have a system of factory in¬ 
spection which has done much towards 
bringing up the quality of their goods. 
Judges are appointed who inspect the 
butter sent to them, and give a certifi¬ 
cate as to quality. All samples which 
fall below a certain grade are criticised, 
and the manager of the factory where 
such samples are made is given instruc¬ 
tion as to how the quality of his goods 
may be improved. By means of this 
judging system, many factories have 
been brought up from poor ones to good 
ones. There is no reason why this system 
cannot be adopted in America. 
In England, they have a great diver¬ 
sity of dairy products ; they manufacture 
not one kind of cheese, but many kinds, 
and in this way, appeal to the taste of 
the consumer. Each county has its 
special cheese, and the other counties 
do not presume to?enter into competi¬ 
tion. The butter which was sent over 
from this country to the London mar¬ 
ket by our Secretary of Agriculture was 
received at London in good shape, and 
was eaten there. The English have a 
prejudice against American goods, not 
only butter, but beef as well. One thing 
which has greatly injured our dairy 
products in the English market is the 
fact that we have sent them so much 
imitation butter, and now they are 
slow to believe that we make anything 
else. The grocer who handled a large 
part of the American shipment allowed 
88 shillings for it, while he was » paying 
at the same time 98 shillings for Austra¬ 
lian butter, 105 shillings for Danish but¬ 
ter, and sold them all for the same price 
as Somerset butter. 
The English dairy cows are a type of 
the Short-horn and the little black Kerry 
cow of Ireland. This little Kerry would 
greatly please the American breeder, 
and would be well adapted to a hilly 
country. l. a. clinton.

AILING ANIMALS. 
ANSWERS BY DR. F. L. KIX.BORNE. 
Enlarged Throat Glands in Pigs. 
Farmer, Maryland.— Two of our hogs make a 
noise when breathing, very much like a person 
snoring. It seems to be caused by some obstruc¬ 
tion in the throat. What is it? One of them 
was troubled that way when only a few months 
old, and did not thrive as well as the rest. Is it 
contagious, and would it cause the meat to be 
unfit for food ? Is there a remedy for it? 
The difficult breathing is, probably, 
caused by enlarged glands of the throat. 
If the enlargement was due either to 
tuberculosis or to swine plague, the 
affection might prove to be contagious, 
otherwise not. If the pigs fatten satis¬ 
factorily and, when slaughtered, are ap¬ 
parently healthy otherwise, the meat 
will be suitable for food. 
Cow With Caked Udder. 
W. S. E., Casey, 111. —I have a cow with a caked 
udder. Being a heavy milker, and on good pas¬ 
ture at calving time, her udder became enor¬ 
mously large, and she had some trouble with an 
obstructed teat. Her udder has been hard on 
one side nearly all summer, and considerable 
stiffness for over two months. I wish now to 
fatten her. What is the proper course of treat¬ 
ment? I have been using lard and coal oil mixed. 
Try iodine ointment, rubbing it well 
into the indurated gland with active 
kneading for several minutes. Repeat 
every other day until the skin is lightly 
blistered, after which apply only once a 
week. Improvement will, probably, be 
slow. The cow should not have been 
allowed to run so long without treat¬ 
ment. 
Lice on a Calf. 
G. E. I)., Vermont.— Hy calf has lice or ticks, 
» some brown and some gray. The largest are 
about one-eighth inch long. I first discovered 
them the latter part of September. I have used 
sulphur and lard, and have dusted Slugshot on 
them a number of times; it has killed some, but 
they keep hatching out, and now there are about 
as many as ever. Is there any danger of these 
lice or ticks getting on to horses ? What can I 
do for them ? 
Pour one gallon of boiling water over 
four ounces of tobacco leaves, stir, and 
allow it to stand until cool. Apply to 
the affected portions of the calf, being 
sure to wet all the lice. The calf should 
then be warmly blanketed until dry. 
Repeat the application in six to nine 
days, if any live lice remain. Cattle lice 
rarely attack horses. 
Pulmonary Consumption is a dread disease; but 
most of those who think they have it. really suffer 
from Bronchitis; and Bronchitis Jayne’s Expectorant 
will cure.— Aclv.
