MISLEADING BUTTER ADVERTISEMENTS. 
Attention has been called to advertise¬ 
ments of butter which appear in Phila¬ 
delphia and nearby cities. Here is a 
sample of the statements made: 
Six per cent butter fat is essential in the 
milk from which our butterroakers churn 
G urn so butter. 
Ordinary butter made from milk, poor in 
butter fat, has not the richness nor de¬ 
licious flavor of Gurnse butter. 
Every quart of milk our buttermakers use 
is tested for its percentage of butter fat. 
Every quart must contain at least six 
per cent butter fat before we consider it 
right for Gurnse butter. 
That is one reason for the really excellent 
value of Gurnse butter—one reason only ; 
there are others. 
Read this carefully and you will see 
that it does not definitely state that the 
butter is made from six per cent milk, 
though the effort is to induce the reader 
to think so. The object of all this is to 
lead customers to believe that milk test¬ 
ing under six per cent will not make 
good butter, and thus hurt the business 
of competitors. 
Now the quantity of six per cent milk 
available for any city would not be suf¬ 
ficient to produce butter enough for 
even a moderate trade. We are in¬ 
formed that the concern responsible for 
this advertising is a commission house, 
bringing most of its butter from Minne¬ 
sota, where it is made from average milk. 
There is a section of Delaware County, 
N. Y., where some very fine herds of 
Jersey cattle are located, and where 
most farmers keep high-class Jersey 
grades. It might be possible to find a 
herd in this section where by selecting 
a dozen or so of the finest you might 
get a mixed milk of six per cent. Tak¬ 
ing all the herd together the average 
would not be much over five per cent. 
In this region there is a section con¬ 
taining some 200 square miles which 
probably contains a larger proportion of 
high-testing animals than any other 
equal-sized area in the country. Yet in 
this favored locality it is doubtful if the 
average butter fat would reach five per 
cent. This talk about six per cent milk 
being absolutely necessary to make fine 
butter is nonsense, and this insinuation 
against other dealers is the meanest 
sort of commercial spirit. 
churning in 12 or 15 hours. If this treat¬ 
ment does not prove satisfactory, you 
might try the following: Heat the cream 
to a temperature of 160 degrees, hold it 
there for 20 minutes, then cool down 
to 75 degrees, and add the starter— 
allowing time to ripen as before.

THE VALUE OF PURE-BRED STOCK. 
Too many of our farmers look upon 
the keeping of purebred stock as use¬ 
less, believing it to be a waste of time 
and money when they are not inclined 
to attend to business. Because a man 
seeks to improve his stock by the intro¬ 
duction of purebred stock, it does not 
follow that he must go into the business. 
Too many think that the raising and 
selling of purebred stock is the only 
source of profit. How many realize that 
a purebred animal has to fulfill certain 
requirements before it is eligible to regis¬ 
tration in the herd book of its particular 
breed? Few stop to think that the pure 
bred animal is the product of rigid se¬ 
lection in regard to utility, color, con¬ 
formation and vitality. Our experiment 
stations have demonstrated that the pure¬ 
bred is more economical than the scrub, 
whether the production is meat, milk, 
wool or work. No successful business 
man would hesitate about replacing a 
poor machine with one that would do 
better and quicker work at a lower cost 
of production. Yet many of our farm¬ 
ers keep in the rut and blindly refuse to 
try to improve the richness of tire milk, 
flavor of the mutton and pork, or qual¬ 
ity of the wool produced on their farms. 
In few cases is it advisable to secure 
an entirely new equipment at one time, 
but by securing the best sire possible, 
the first important step is taken, for 
“the sire is half the herd.” IYve or six 
crosses of purebred sires on successive 
generations of grade stock will produce 
offspring that are practically purebred, 
except that they are not eligible for 
registration. While this might be satis¬ 
factory in regard to utility, there are 
very, very few men who would be con¬ 
tent to stop there and ignore the greater 
opportunities in the raising of pure¬ 
bred Stock. L. R. DAVIES. 
SLOW TO CHURN. 
I have a Jersey cow six years old, fresh 
in milk, giving 10y 2 pounds every night 
and the same every morning. I purchased 
her that we might have milk and fresh 
butter for family use. We have the milk 
and a fair amount of cream, but alas for 
the butter! It only comes through much 
trouble and tribulation. Two or three 
hours’ time of vigorous churning is re¬ 
quired, and only when the cream is raised 
to a temperature of 70 or 75 degrees will 
the butter make an appearance. Strange to 
relate, but true, the butter is not soft, as 
would ordinarily be the case, but seems 
quite hard, and of good texture and flavor. 
At a temperature of 62 degrees it is too 
solid to be worked. The cow is fed on 
good clover hay, a half bushel of silage 
night and morning, on which is poured 
three pints of equal parts of oats, cornmeal 
and bran. Fresh water and occasional salt¬ 
ing make up the rations. The milk is set 
in open pans and the. cream pilo/perly 
ripened. E. a. f.

You do not say how long your cream 
is kept before churning. If you are in 
the habit of keeping it a week or more, 
try chjurning at shorter intervals—say, 
every four or five days. Keep the cream 
as cool as possible until the day before 
churning, then warm it up to a tempera¬ 
ture of 70 or 75 degrees (stirring thor¬ 
oughly) and add a starter. This starter 
may be a commercial culture, or you 
may use good sour milk or buttermilk 
of a pronounced acid flavor. A half-pint 
of starter will be sufficient for a gallon 
of cream, which should be ready for 
A JERSEY BREEDER MARKED. 
The American Jersey Cattle Club has 
had another case of papers that did not 
fit the cows. On November 2, 1909, an 
investigation of the case of G. G. Coun¬ 
cil, of Vandalia, Ill., was begun. It was 
claimed that crooked work in the de¬ 
livery and transfer of animals had been 
done by Mr. Council. On March 22, 
1910, the special committee of the A. J. 
C. C. reported among others the follow¬ 
ing resolution: 
Resolved, That the secretary be instructed 
hereafter to refuse for record any applica¬ 
tion for entry or transfer dependent upon 
the signature of G. G. Council; provided, 
however, that the secretary of this club is 
hereby authorized to accept applications 
for registrations covering the animals im¬ 
ported by said Council in January, 1910, 
which wear the identification locks and 
bear the hoof marks or numbers, the same 
having been identified by the club’s special 
agent, J. L. Hope, in quarantine at Athenia, 
N. J.; and provided further that registra¬ 
tion be granted to calves born to these and 
other animals now owned by said Council 
if their identity can be established to the 
satisfaction of the executive committee of 
the club. 
Mr. Council evidently did not have 
much of a political “pull,” and the club 
made short work of this matter.

the nicest men are married.” Mrs. 
Brown: “Well, dear, they weren’t al¬

DE LAVAL 
Cream Separators 
Have Been From the Very Beginning 
of Separators 32 Years Ago. 
Why bother with “copies”, 
“imitations”, “substitutes”, “just- 
as-good ” and other ‘near” sepa¬ 
rators, that merely utilize cheaply 
the expii-ed DE LAVAL patents 
and cast-off DE LAVAL types 
of construction of from ten to 
twenty and thirty years ago ? 
There is no other cream sepa- 
rator made that comes WITHIN 
TEN YEARS of the IMPROVED 
DE LAVAL of TODAY. 
SEE, COMPARE AND TRY 
a 1910 DE LAVAL for yourself 
beside any other separator made 
and you cannot help so decide. 
Any DE LAVAL agent will be 
glad to help you to do this. It 
will cost you nothing and may 
save you a great deal. You have 
but to ask for the nearest agent’s

know it. '
