Pure Bred 
Registered Jersey Cows 
For Sale 
We want to keep all the daughters 
of our herd Bull, Julie’s Majesty 
No. 89,717. 
But to do so we must sell some 
of their mothers. There are only 
so many acres in the farm and only 
so much room in the barn, and the 
young stock is coming on fast. 
We will sell almost any cow in 
the herd, although we would rather 
sell some than others. 
We have for sale five two-year 
old heifers, all due to freshen this 
year, three of them imported in dam. 
One by prize winning son of Noble 
of Oaklands, her dam by Gamboge’s 
Knight. Another by Hood Farm 
Golden Fern’s Lad 2nd, her dam 
one of the best cows in our herd. 
The cows are of various ages 
and periods of lactation. All are 
of good breeding and individuality. 
Many of them will be offered at 
bargain counter prices. The herd 
is regularly tuberculin tested by the 
State of New Jersey. You can 
see the milk sheet and fat tests of 
any cow we own. 
A bull calf by Julie’s Majesty, 
dam a daughter of Noble of Oak- 
lands, her dam Nesta Cannon. 
This youngster is such a picture 
that it is worth a journey to the 
farm just to see him. We will 
sell him at a bargain. 
If you are looking for cows or 
heifers, and incidentally a young bull 
of top notch breeding and individ¬ 
uality, we will do our part to make 
a bargain if you will come to the 
farm. 
Our railroad station it Brancliville, N. J. 
Customers will be furnished livery free to the 
farm on application to the Station Agent there.

Butter Profits 
You ought to get more butter 
profits. Jersey Cattle mean 
more butter profits, because 
they yield more butler fat at 
less net cost of keep than any 
other breed. 
THE JERSEY 
excels in beauty of dairy type. She is a 
persistent milker. Jerseys are easily accli¬ 
mated. They live long and keep healthy. 
They mean steady butter profits. Writo

BUTTER MAKING IN WINTER. 
As we are among the many people 
who make but little butter during a part 
of the Winter, it has been a study how 
to prevent the bitter taste so often pres¬ 
ent in Winter butter, also how to handle 
the cream so that there should be no 
trouble in getting the butter to come. 
In our case no amount of care in ster¬ 
ilizing milk utensils would prevent a 
slightly bitter taste in cream only 36 
hours from the cow. Even if the cream 
could be churned every day, which would 
hardly he practicable with so small an 
amount, I know of no way to ripen such 
cream without its acquiring that same 
bitter taste. After much experimenting 
we have now in use a plan which, to us 
at least, seems entirely satisfactory. 
During the Winter, while the milk sup¬ 
ply is small, we use the separator but 
once a day. The milk at night is 
strained in a pan and set in a cool place. 
In the morning, the thick part of the 
cream is skimmed from this milk, or 
it may be stirred into the milk, warmed 
and put with the morning’s milk through 
the separator. As soon as the cream 
is cool, it is scalded by placing the pail 
containing it in a dish of hot water on 
the stove. The cream is then put in 
the coolest place available which, in our 
case, is near an open pantry window. 
The cream should be stirred occasionally 
both while scalding and cooling. When 
cold it is stirred thoroughly into the 
accumulated cream of the day before, 
which is also kept in a cool place. This 
cream will keep sweet and contain no 
bitter taste for a week or more. 
The churning is done once a week. 
About 24 hours before cream is to be 
churned one pint of buttermilk is added 
to it. The temperature of the cream is 
then raised to 70 degrees and kept about 
there till the cream begins to thicken 
and sour a little. The ripening is com¬ 
pleted at a cooler temperature, say at 
from 55 to 65 degrees. When ready to 
be churned it is again warmed to a 
temperature of 70 degrees, or sometimes 
even to 75 degrees. The churning of it 
does not require more than half an 
hour. Care is taken to add a quart 
or so of cold water as soon as the 
butter begins to separate. While the 
butter is in small granules, the butter¬ 
milk is drawn off and the butter washed 
in two cold waters. If the butter is 
still a little soft it is allowed to stand 
a few minutes before salting. It is 
worked in the usual way. Butter of first 
quality with no trace of a bitter taste 
can be made in this way. 
When the old method of setting milk 
in pans is used the milk should be 
scalded as soon as strained. This will 
prevent the bitter butter. The cream 
seems to be more liable to swell and 
difficult to churn than with separator 
cream. However it is far less liable to 
give trouble than with unscalded milk. 
We never succeeded in making quite as 
satisfactory a quality of butter without 
the separator, and there were instances 
where the cream swelled even at a tem¬ 
perature of 75 edgrees, and the butter 
would not gather even after forming 
minute granules. mrs. jas. coward. 
Requirements for Registry. 
We have a nice Ayrshire heifer; her 
dam was at least three-fourths Ayrshire, 
sire purebred registered Ayrshire. She is 
bred back to sire. What will her calf be, 
a grade or full blood? Can we register it 
and how? s. p. m. 
Clinton ,Co„ N. Y. 
No—you could not have this calf regis¬ 
tered. It will lie a grade. You could only 
have it registered when both parents are 
recorded in the herd book, and as the an¬ 
cestors of this calf are grades with some 
blood other than Ayrshire it remains a 
grade, although for practical or utility 
purposes it may be superior. 
Breaking Oxen. 
I send a plan for breaking oxen, which 
we put iu practice successfully with four 
young steers that had never been handled. 
After about a week they were list'd to feed¬ 
ing and going together; we then hitched 
one yoke behind the other by' a chain. 
For two weeks we hooked them up this 
way, then put yokes on them and began 
light dragging. reader. 
Here is the way we do it in Virginia. 
Our colored man, Isaiah Smith, drives in 
the barn lot four three-year-old steers. We 
have ready two chains, with swivels iu 
the middle, and spring hooks on all four 
ends. lie puts two about the same size 
in a box pen, putting their heads even. 
He hooks the chain on each, leaving the 
swivel to work free between the necks, so 
they can turn and twist and get used to 
each other. He names them Mathew and 
Mark, opens the gate behind them and 
backs them out; drives in the next two, 
goes through the same process, names them 
Luke and John, backs them out. He says 
as they go in the field: “Jos’ look at 
my ’postles.” T. H. H.

HOLSTEIN CATTLE 
Bulletin 226 of the College of Agriculture, University 
of Wisconsin, says : "The average Wisconsin cow pro¬ 
duces 200 lbs. of butter per year, worth but little more 
than the feed she eats.” 
In a State famous for its high producing cows, this seems 
a poor average ami shows that a great number of the cows 
kept are only a source of expense to their owners. 
Do all your cows pay a reasonable return on the invest¬ 
ment of money and labor they represent? Any good Hol¬ 
stein pays 50£ profit on the cost of her feed.
