How to Make the Butter Come 
A (lisouasioii of btitter-mnking in our 
local (irange brought out the surprising 
fact that hut little farm butter is now 
made in this locality. In .a poll of the 
(id member.s present at the meeting it 
was found tliat but six familio.s made 
butter on the farm. Although this is 
considered to be a dairy section, one in' 
which cows tire ki'pt on nearly every 
farm, dairy butter has fallen into had 
repute. “More money in selling milk,” 
“Too much work to make butter.” “Can’t 
get the butter to come,” were some of 
the reasons given why farmers no long¬ 
er make butter. 
Til a later meeting tlie chief obstacle 
in the manufacture of farm butter, 
namely, how to make the butter “come,’’ 
was taken uj). Tlie discussion brought 
out the following factors as affecting the 
churnability of cream. 
1. Iticliness of cream. 
2. Churning temperature. 
R. Acidity of cream. 
4. Fullness of churn. 
5. Speed of churn. 
(5. Size of fat globules. 
7. Composition of butter fat in 
cream. 
1. Since the fat exi.sts in cream in 
the form of minute globules, the richer 
the cream the more numerous are the 
Jalop, the Purebred Percheron Stallion at the Ames, Iowa, State College 
speed of the ciiurii is timed to so many 
revolutions jier minute; the same should 
he the case with the baud churn on the 
farm. 
G. The size of the fat globules in tlie 
cream plays an important part in the 
churnability of cream. Tyarge fat 
globules churn more cakily than small 
ones. The size of the fat globules varies 
with the breed of cows and also with 
the time in the iieriod of lactation. Large 
fat globules are the rule when cows are 
fresh, the size of the globules decreas¬ 
ing as the lactation period advances. 
7. For easy churning the cows from 
which tlie cream is obtained .should he 
fed. in part at least, a succulent feed 
sueh as silage or roots. When cows 
are on dry feed the composition of the 
fat globules is such that they do not 
coah'see easily. Although it is not pos¬ 
sible to change the percentage of fat 
in the cow’s milk for any length of time, 
it is pos.sihle to change the composition 
of the fat by means of feeding. So that 
it can be more easily churned. 
When one or more of the above con¬ 
ditions occurs at the same time, the 
farmer's wife has trouble in making the 
butter “come.” Since these conditions 
are prone to occur in the Winter time, 
the cases of difficult cburiiiiig are more 
fat globules. When the fat globules are 
miinerous and come into contact easily, 
conditions are favorable for churning. 
'I'he fri'Queiit .striking together of the fat 
globules during the process of eburuiug 
results in the formation of granules of 
butter fat and as soou as all fat par¬ 
ticles have coale.sced, the churning is 
complete. 
2. A temperature of GO degrees F. 
to G2 degrees F. is desirable for churn¬ 
ing. At this temperature the fat 
globules are neither loo hard nor too soft, 
hut are in a condition to unite ea.sily. 
At la lower temperature the butter 
granules are hard aud do not take up 
moisture easily, and at a higher tem- 
lierature the butter tends to be mushy 
when it is taken from the churn. 
3. When cream is sour its viscosity 
in increased, rendering it more easily 
churned. Besides making for easy 
churning, cream iiropi'rly soured or rip¬ 
ened will result in a well-flavored but¬ 
ter. ell-soured cream should he glo.s- 
sy in appearance, and should pour like 
molasses. 
4. Proper agitation of the cream is 
nece.ssary for butter to come quickly. 
The churn should be about one-third full 
for the best results. Overfilling fhe 
cliurn prevents the hard concussion which 
is necessary for churning. 
5. The ea.se of churning and the 
(luality of the resultant butter depends 
on the speed with which the churn is re¬ 
volved. When the agitation is too fast, 
the butter comes with no grain, if the 
agitation is too slow the concussion is 
not sufficient to drive the fat particles 
together. In the large creamery the 
frequent at this season* of the year. 
Since the advent of higher prices for 
both dairy and creamery butter, it is 
doubtful if many farmers can afford to 
buy a strictl.y first-class article, aud for 
this reason there will probably hejnore 
butter made on the farms. If the* con¬ 
ditions necessary to the manufacture of 
butter wore better known, there would 
need be no fear that the making of dairy 
butter would become a lost art.

Combination Silage Crop 
What do you think of sowing the fol¬ 
lowing combination to cut in silo green 
:il)out July for silage, peas, oats, barley, 
buckwheat and Soy beans? What 
amount of each per acre should I sow on 
clay land? M. W. 
Mannsville, N. Y. 
I doubt if such a combiu.ation of for¬ 
age crops as M. W. suggests would he 
advisable for use in the cold climate of 
Northern New York. Buckwheat and 
Soy beans should not be planted until 
June, while oats, barley and peas should 
be sown as early as the ground can be 
worked in the Spring. I would sug- 
ge.st a combination of a bushel and a 
half of oats, one-half bushel of barley 
and one bushel of Canada peas, in 
preference to the list given by M. W. 
These three crops <’an he sown together 
early in the Spring, and they .sliould 
be ready for the silo at about the same 
time which, in Jefferson C-ounty, will 
be the latter part of July. However, 
the experience of most dairy farmers in 
thi.s section has been that corn is the 
h.'st crop for the silo. 1 am of the
