Butter With Poor Flavor 
Our milk and cream s(>em to be all 
right, but the butter I am making is not 
first class. The cows are in a woodland 
pasture and are having a combiuatioii 
feed, and I wonder if the salt acts on it 
in some way as I have tasted it without 
salt and thought it was rather better. 
There has been no difference in the churn¬ 
ing or the handling in any way that I 
can account for. . ir. T. w. 
CJeorgia. 
It is difficult to state what the trouble 
with your butter is without having an 
opportunity to sample it. Since your 
methods are the same as you have been 
using right along I should judge that it 
might be due to some weed that the cows 
get hold of in the pasture. This flavor 
would be more concentrated or stronger 
ill the butter than in the cream. I see 
no reason why the salt should have any¬ 
thing to do with it. In this climate the 
cows are just getting out on grass, and 
we are getting all sorts of foreign flavors 
in butter. n. f. j. 
Facing a Milk Crisis 
A Serious Situation 
Part III. 
Production axd Keproductiox.— 
During the past few years there has been 
a tendency to divorce production from re¬ 
production. Certain breeders have been 
contented with high records, yet they have 
not reproduced calves from the same 
agencies of production. The two func¬ 
tions should be maintained aud developed 
hand in hand if it is hoped to do construc¬ 
tive aud consistent work in the develop¬ 
ment of the industry. During these 
troublesome days when tuberculosis aud 
Bang’s disease are recognized as limiting 
factors ill animal breeiliug aud produc¬ 
tion it is' absolutely essential that steps 
be taken such as will make it possible to 
develop herds that are lesistaut to such 
diseases. The State or nation will never 
get anywhere by attempting to purchase 
diseased animals for the purpose of erad- 
knowu to be free from disease, that are 
known to have produced healthy calves 
within the year, and that are backed up 
by records of production authenticated by 
responsible agencies? 
Commox-Sexse Business. —Organiza¬ 
tion and the application of common .sense 
business tactics are responsible for our 
most successful business entej-prises at 
the present moment. The dairy industry 
of this country is bigger than the Stan¬ 
dard Oil Company, than our Public Ser¬ 
vice Corixiration. It is bigger than any 
single railroad or organization of rail¬ 
roads, yet its disorganization is largely 
responsible for its present predicament. 
While it is true that milk is a iierishable 
jiroduct and gasolene is not. nevertheless, 
there is no legitimate reason why the pro¬ 
ducers of this marketable product should 
not have at least a silent vote in estab¬ 
lishing the price of their commodity. 
Qi'ai.ity Needed. —If it becomes neces¬ 
sary to send dairy animals to the shambles 
surely the low producers should be sold 
or sacrificed, and not the purebred or 
grade cow that is almost making ends 
meet. If a calf is worth growing at all 
it is worth growing well, hence, the heifer 
calves should not be relegated to the back 
field to subsist on grass or forage alone 
even though grains are almost prohibi¬ 
tive in price. It is the greatest oppor¬ 
tunity in the dairyman’s history to cull 
his herd, owing to the high price of beef 
and the readiness of the butcher to buy 
his discards. The dairyman, however, 
who has a high average producing hen! 
would be short-sight('d, iufleed. if he sold 
his best cows at beef prices. 
IICOXOMY IX F’eeds. —Gluten, brewery 
grains, cottonseed meal and oil meal :ire 
clearly the most economical feeds to pur¬ 
chase at this time, and it is my judgment 
that it would be appropriate to assemble 
a liberal supply of these feeding stufl's as 
long as the present prices prevail. It is 
a time requiring counsel and judgment. 
The last thing that should be done is to 
dispose of useful breeding animals whose 
production clearly entitles them to a 
place in the hei'd, even though actual 
profits from the industry may be lacking. 
The slogan, “Enlist your cows in the 
cause of your country” is (piite aiipro- 
priate. Yet it is but fair to demand that 
the man who c:ires for cows in an effort 
to prciduce milk to feed humanity should 
be paid quite as much for his time ami 
energy as the one who makes bullets to 
kUl meu, f. c. mixkler. 
Cheese-making Questions 
How long does it take for cheeee to 
ripen? How can I color the cheese? Is 
there a ripener to hasten the ripening 
process? IIow is sage added to make 
sage cheese? j. i,. w. 
Clermont, N. Y. 
It takes Cheddar cheese four to six 
months to ripeu iii good shape. Cheese 
color is added to the milk before it 
curdles. Sage may be added to cheese in 
the extract form, it being added to the 
milk before it curdles, or the ground 
leaves may be mixed with the curd before 
it is put into the hoop. n. L, J.
