A “BUTTER-MAKING” FAKE. 
I send newspaper clipping on making 
two pounds of butter from one. Will you 
let us know what you think of it? 
Franklin, Pa. w. A. k. 
The clipping is headed, “Two Pounds 
of Butter from One—a Fact.” It tells 
how one G. G. Martin did the trick: 
A pint of milk, which weighs a pound, 
was poured into a quart tin bucket, and 
into this a teaspoonful of butter coloring 
(this docs not have to be used) was placed, 
together with several pinches of salt. Then 
a pound of creamery butter (any kind can 
be used) was sliced and dropped into the 
bucket. A lid was placed on this and it 
was then placed into a larger graniteware 
pail. Lukewarm water, intended only to 
melt the butter a little, was poured in the 
space between the sides of the two buckets 
and then the contents of the smaller pail 
was stirred by an arrangement similar to 
that used on an ice cream freezer. In a 
little more than a minute there were 
two pounds of butter in the bucket instead 
of one. It had blended perfectly. The de¬ 
vice by which the work is done is called a 
butter blender and is patented. 
Mr. Martin says that the two pounds 
which came out of the machine are just 
as good as the one pound that went in! 
I hey ought to be twice as good, so Mr. 
Martin's statement is no great compli¬ 
ment. He also claims that this milk 
butter “will not sour.” Then he says: 
Ten pounds of butter were made for the 
big banquet of the First Baptist Church 
last Monday night, and the Masonic lodge 
has also served the product at its banquets. 
A few private families in town have also 
been using it. 
V. henever eating church suppers we 
have always concluded they were made 
to sell. The Baptists should not object 
to extra water, though it is doubtful if 
they would substitute water for butter 
fat. That is just what Mr. Martin does 
in his famous process. A pound of legal 
butter contains 15 per cent or 2.4 ounces 
of water. A pound of milk contains at 
a liberal calculation 13.6 ounces of wa¬ 
ter. Thus when the pint of milk and the 
pound of butter are mixed together we 
have 16 ounces of water, or just half 
the weight. A pound of the mixture is 
not butter, but half water. Many a child 
has been obliged to do penance by living 
on “bread and water” for a time. A 
piece of this “butter” would make the 
punishment lighter! 
The thing is a fake and a fraud. Such 
“butter” may do to cheat the hired man 
or the guests at a cheap boarding house, 
but if anyone tried to sell it he would be 
liable to arrest under the Pure Food laws 
—and it would serve him right. The 
men who make this stuff and try to palm 
it off as butter are on a par with the 
grocer who sands the sugar or waters 
the milk. The law states that legal but¬ 
ter shall contain 82.5 per cent of fat. 
If the pound of butter was legal and the 
milk contained four per cent, the two 
pounds contained 13.84 ounces of fat, or 
43 per cent—and was a fraud! 
Sprouted Oats for Hens. 
Can you refer me to page and volume 
of The It. N.-Y. where I may find direc¬ 
tions for sprouting oats for Winter hen 
feed ? c. o. L. 
Romulus, N. Y. 
_ We have given the process several 
times. On page 464 last year a reader 
in Illinois gave these directions: 
“A furnace in cellar or other warm 
place is necessary for the operation in 
Winter; we expect to continue it this 
Summer out of doors. The oats are 
placed in a water-tight vessel and cov¬ 
ered with warm water, and allowed to 
stand 24 hours, when they are emptied 
in a box that will allow the water to 
drain off freely. Oats are left in this 
box and wetted twice a day with warm 
water until the oats have sprouts a 
quarter .of an inch long, when they are 
spread in boxes about one inch deep. 
The sprinkling is continued 'until the 
oats are as large as you desire. We 
usually use them when four or five 
inches high. The hens will eat the roots 
as well as the tops. With a tempera¬ 
ture of 60 degrees 10 days will bring 
this result, so after the first start this 
green feed can be provided for each 
day. Chicks will eat the oats when a 
week old, and leave all other feeds for 
them. As the fowls all prefer the oats 
to green clippings of fresh-cut lawn 
grass, I shall continue the feeding of 
sprouted oats all Summer.” 
Collier’s Weekly January 23rd, 1909, says that 
World’s Record of Milk and Rutter 
fat now belongs to a HOLSTEIN COW 
COLANTHA 4th’s JOHANNA 
owned by W. J. Gillette, Rosendale, Wisconsin. Milk 
yield 27 , 432.5 pounds, which produced 998.26 pounds 
butter fat equal to 1 , 247.83 pounds butter.” 
Mr. Gillette owns a United States Separator. 
Collier’s also says 
“Perhaps the most famous dairy cow test held in 
America was the 120 days’ contest at the St.Louis Exposi¬ 
tion in 1904 between a herd of 25 Jerseys, one of 15 Hol- 
steins, one of 5 Brown Swiss, and one of 25 Shorthorns. 
The champion cow in this test was the JERSEY CGW 
[LORETTA D No. 141,708 
owned and entered by F. PI. Scribner, Rosendale, Wis. 
In 120 days she produced 5 , 802.7 pounds of milk contain¬ 
ing 280.16 lbs. of butter fat equal to 330.03 lbs. butter.” 
Mr. Scribner has a United States Separator in his dairy. 
Perhaps the most famous herd of GUERNSEY COWS 
in the country is owned by Mr. Jas. L. Hill, Rosendale, 
Wisconsin. His herd won highest honors at St. Louis Ex¬ 
position and also at the International Dairy Show,Chicago. 
Mr. Hill uses a United States Separator in his dairy. 
In fact, the 
Most Progressive Dairymen Everywhere 
prefer the United States Separator! 
Do not forget the great test of Cream Separa¬ 
tors at the PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION 
when the milk from 10 different herds of cows was 
separated during a period of one month, that the 
United States Separator 
Excelled All Others and Was Awarded the 
WORLD’S RECORD 
Others may do well sometimes, but they have not 
the STAYING QUALITIES of the UNITED 
STATES. The improvements in 
THE 1909 MODEL 
Greatly Reduce the Di¬ 
ameter of the Bowls— 
makes them operate easier— 
and still retain their great milk 
capacity.
