BUTTLRMAK1NG IN WINTER. 
I WAS much interested in the article 
of Mrs. Voorhees, on page 46, but as 
our methods vary somewhat I will give 
her my “plan.” 1 practice what is called 
the Devonshire system; that is, pasteur¬ 
izing the milk in Winter. The milk is 
placed over a kettle of boiling w'ater as 
soon as brought in and strained, and al¬ 
lowed to stand until the cream is weil 
“crinkled.” but in no case let it come to 
a boil. A man from Devonshire tells us 
that he has vivid recollections of having 
to stand and watch the kettle for his 
mother, to see that the milk did not come 
to a boil. When taken from the range it 
is placed in a room where it can have the 
lowest possible temperature, without 
freezing. This sudden change from heat 
to cold seems to be what does the work. 
I differ from Mrs. Voorhees a little in 
that I do not ripen my cream. It is all 
churned sweet. This does away with 
having the extra cream tub around. I 
make no effort to keep the cream warm 
until churning day comes, when the churn 
is placed in warm water, when the butter 
“comes” without any trouble. I have re¬ 
ceived two and three cents more per 
pound for butter made from sweet cream 
than was being paid for butter from sour 
cream. It not only has better flavor, but 
also has better keeping qualities. I 
used to be afraid to recommend heating 
the milk in Winter until I happened to 
see the plan advocated in one of our best 
dairy papers, which made me a little bold¬ 
er. But one thing that is absolutely es¬ 
sential to good butter making is the sur¬ 
roundings of the milk and cream. The 
milk-room should be a milk-room, and 
nothing else, as milk and cream absorb 
foreign odors very readily. 
I remember reading not long since of a 
case where one of the first hotter facto¬ 
ries in one of our Western States had 
trouble with their butter, which could not 
be accounted for for some time. That 
something was wrong was evident. But 
what was it? There was the mystery. 
After careful search it was found that 
the cause of all their trouble came from 
a shed adjoining the warehouse in which 
the salt was stored. This shed was used 
by customers who came in with their 
teams, and although there was no door 
leading from the warehouse to the shed, 
the scent from the standing teams pene¬ 
trated the wall and affected the salt. We 
once lost pork that was packed with salt, 
where the salt barrel was kept in a gran¬ 
ary where nothing but the grain was 
stored, and it seemed, apparently, to he 
all right. What the trouble was we could 
not tell; but when we read about the salt 
in the warehouse we came to the con¬ 
clusion that it solved n mystery for us, 
as we thought at once of the basement 
stable underneath the granary. Although 
there was a double floor, the salt was af¬ 
fected, and we learned a lesson. Perhaps, 
after all these practical lessons do us 
good sometimes, for we are not apt to 
forget them. I believe the telling of such 
mishaps often does as much good as tell¬ 
ing of our success, as it puts others on 
their guard, so they may avoid the rock 
on which we stranded. J. M. WILLSON.

The Dairy Summer Vacation. 
R USH the cow when rush work is past. 
Spike that advice good and solid in 
the farm program. It will earn dol¬ 
lars and cents for the farmer who does it. 
Every man who reads this will not make 
the change this year or next year or in a 
dozen years. Nevertheless G. E. Wolcott, 
of the Maryland Extension Service, is 
preaching the Fall freshening doctrine to 
dairymen, and here are rewards he as¬ 
sures converts: 
More time for other farm labor. 
Higher prices, better milk, and better 
calves. 
A higher quality and more uniform 
production may be maintained. 
Mr. Wolcott says: “A cow that drops 
her calf in October is generally placed 
in the stable and fed regular Winter ra¬ 
tion until pastures are readjr the fol¬ 
lowing Summer. Fresh grasses will start 
her producing capacity working over¬ 
time. When haying, harvest and silo fill¬ 
ing are over, the cow again freshens. The 
farmer has time to feed and caress his 
cows, weigh milk and test the product. 
Dry pastures, hot days and millions of 
flies are gone, and Bossie can settle down 
to economical production if quarters are 
comfortable. If the flow falls off in the 
Summer it is hard to bring it back to nor¬ 
mal.” The advice is simple, do it, give 
the cow her vacation when it pays best, 
in the Summer.

A Permanent Silo 
Is Better Than 
Permanent Pasturage 
Yes, recent Experiment Station tests have proven that 
on medium or high-priced lands, silage-feeding pays 
better han pasturing on blue grass. But the silo must be 
durable—it must not entail expense for repairs, for paint- 
k ing and adjusting. Such is the Natco Imperishable Silo— 
it will defy storms, decay, fire and vermin. It will last for 
generations. Thousands of owners have found that the 
Natco Imperishable Silo 
“ The Silo That Lasts for Generations '* 
measures up to every requirement of the perfect silo. It Is 
durable, convenient, keeps ensilage sweet and succulent in 
all parts, is free from upkeep expenses, and is attractive. A 
list of Natco owners in your State will be sent on request. 
Learn from them that durability means economy, besides free¬ 
dom from worry and fear of actual collapse. The Natco 
is built of vitrified hollow clay tile which will endure for¬ 
ever, and being air, moisture and frost-proof, preserve 
the ensilage perfectly. Steel reinforcing bands, laid in 
the mortar between each tier of tile, resist all pressure 
from within or without. Write our nearest branch for
