PRIZE BUTTER AT SYRACUSE. 
We are printing short notes from the 
butter makers who won prizes at the 
New York State fair. Here is another: 
I think the most important thing about 
making good butter is to have good 
cream and a good commercial starter; 
in fact, I would not know how to ripen 
cream without a starter. In making 
the butter, which I sent to the State 
Fair, I had fairly good cream, two or 
three days old. I used about 50 per 
cent, of good starter, and ripened it at 
about 58° F.; that is, it was mixed with 
the starter at that temperature, and 
gradually cooled down to 50° F. in about 
20 hours, at which temperature it was 
churned. It took about 50 minutes to 
churn, the churn being stopped when 
the butter was in granules about the 
size of wheat kernels. The buttermilk 
was drawn off and the butter washed 
twice with water at a temperature of 
56° F. After the wash water had all 
drained off I sprinkled the salt on the 
butter as it lay in the churn, and added 
a little water and started the churn in 
the working gear, running eight or ten 
revolutions, then let stand about 45 min¬ 
utes for the salt to dissolve before com¬ 
pleting the working. The butter was 
then packed, placed in the cooler and 
shipped the following day. I used eight 
pounds salt to the hundred, and churned 
in a Victor Junior No. 2 churn.

How Prize Winning Butter Was Made. 
In the recent butter making contest 
held on the State Fair ground at Syra¬ 
cuse, N. Y., all cream used by the con¬ 
testants came from Ithaca, N. Y., from 
a mixed herd of dairy cattle. The 
cream was pasteurized, shipped to Syra¬ 
cuse, placed in a cooler and when re¬ 
ceived by the contestants, tested 42° F. 
by a good dairy thermometer. Barrel 
churns were used by all, the butter 
workers were of the different patterns, 
and bowls, such as every dairy uses; 
of the ordinary type. Churns, butter 
workers and bowls were furnished by the 
Agricultural College. I took my own 
spades, ladle and pound print with me. 
I received 23 pounds of cream at the 
above temperature. After thoroughly 
scalding my churn and rinsing it I 
heated my cream to 46° and churned 
18 minutes, when I found the cream 
changed to granules of butter a little 
larger than grains of wheat. I then 
carefully drew off some butter-milk and 
rinsed off the cover of the churn, and 
also rinsed down all granules of butter 
adhering to the sides of the churn. I j 
then drew off all the buttermilk and 
tested it and that was over 48° F., the 
difference being made in rinsing the 
churn with warm water the last time, 
before putting in the cream. I then put 
in a pail of water at 46° F. and turned 
the churn over a few times, not over 
four revolutions. I then drew off this 
water and put in another pail of water 
52° F.; this time I turned the churn 
over twice, rinsed down the sides of the 
churn and draw off the water. While 
the butter was draining the last time 
I scalded my butter bowl, ladle, spade 
and print, rinsed them with cold water 
and filled the bowl with cold water, and 
then cleaned the butter worker I intend¬ 
ed to use with salt and hot water, using 
a good fibre brush and plenty of hot 
water. When thoroughly cleansed I 
i insed it with ice water until cold. I 
then took my bowl and ladle and after 
weighing them, took the butter from 
the churn, weighed it and found I had 
over nine pounds of butter. The salt 
used was a very coarse quality, such as 
I never had used in my own dairy, but 
by sifting it and using three-fourths of 
an ounce of salt to a pound of butter, 
I satisfied myself as to the right degree 
of saltness. I worked the salt through 
the butter in the bowl and transferred 
it to the worker, covering it with a 
clean white cloth while I washed up 
my churn, bowl and ladle to gain time, 
while allowing the salt to become in¬ 
corporated with the butter. I then 
worked the butter with the worker until 
it showed by texture sufficient working, 
when I put it up in prints, having nine 
and one-half prints, using parchment 
paper to wrap the prints in. The butter 
now being finished I washed and scalded 
the rest of my utensils, cleaned my al- 
loted space and my work was done.

BREWERS’ GRAINS AND SILAGE. 
Is dry brewers' grains a good feed to use 
with silage? b. f. 
New Jersey. 
Dried brewers’ grains are valuable to 
feed with silage to milch cows or 
young growing stock, but cannot be 
recommended for fattening purposes. 
They should not be fed alone, but should 
be mixed with heavier and more con¬ 
centrated feeds like gluten and cotton¬ 
seed meal. Compared with dry distill¬ 
ers’ grains the brewers’ grains have a 
lower nutritive value, making them a 
comparatively more expensive feed to 
use at common prices. c. s. G. 
INOCULATING HOGS TO PREVENT 
CHOLERA. 
The United States Department of Ag¬ 
riculture reports an experiment with the 
new Government serum for preventing 
hog cholera. This experiment was con¬ 
ducted at the Union Stock Yards at 
South Omaha, Neb.: 
The stock yards company purchased 30 
pigs, weighing from 40 to 60 pounds each, 
from a farm which had been free from bog 
cholera for several years. These pigs 
were brought to the stock yards, and on 
July 23, 1‘JIO, four of them were injected 
with blood from hogs sick of hog cholera. 
These inoculated pigs were placed in a pen 
by themselves, and within five days they 
had become sick, at which time 18‘ of the 
remaining pigs were each given one dose 
of the serum, while the other eight pigs 
were not treated in any way. The 18 
serum-treated pigs and the eight untreated 
pigs were then placed in the same pen with 
the four pigs which had been made sick by 
inoculation. The four pigs which were first 
given hog cholera all died, and the eight 
untreated pigs all contracted the disease 
from them. The 18 pigs which were given 
serum, and which were confined in the 
same pen with the four original sick pigs 
and with the sick untreated pigs, remained 
perfectly well, and were finally turned over 
to the officials of the stock yards company 
upon the completion of the experiment, Sep¬ 
tember 17, 1910.
