The Milking Shorthorn 
There are a few people who still per¬ 
sist in arguing that it is impossible to 
get milk and beef at a profit from the 
same animal. But the dual-purpose 
Shorthorn has proven beyond a doubt 
that it can be done not in a few Iso¬ 
lated case.s, but in large numbers. The 
intelligent breeders have so bred their 
cattle along dual lines that they must 
make good; they simply cannot help it. 
Glenside Farm before the sale in May 
had five cow.s with official records aver¬ 
aging 15,157 pounds of milk, 573.1 of 
fat, equal to about GOS pounds of butter. 
Any one of the lot would easily feed up 
to 1,G00 pounds or better. One of these, 
Doris Clay, has a record of 17.241 pounds 
of milk, 653.3 pounds of biitterfat, equal 
to about 762 pounds of butter in one 
do this four times and still we don’t get 
all the butter. The buttermilk looks like 
cream. Our cream does not get a good 
sour taste, .vet if we leafe it longer it 
gets watery. Our pans and pail are well 
scalded and sunned. Our cow is on 
rather poor pasture hut has feed night 
and morning, salt in feed, and a salt 
brick in the stable. w. J. R. 
New Jersey. 
From the descriptiwn of your trouble 
it would seem that you were churning at 
too high a temperature. You should 
churn at least for a half hour, and the 
butter .should come in a granular form 
and not be too soft. Churning a very sweet 
cream, filling the churn too full, cream 
sticking to the sides of the churn, in¬ 
complete churning and using too h gh a 
temperature are the principal causes of 
high-testing buttermilk. If you cannot 
correct the trouble by changing methods

year. She has been Grand Champion at 
some of the leading fairs and will weigli 
around 1,600 in good working condition. 
Another one, Mamie’s Minnie, has a 
year’s record of 16,201 pounds of milk 
and an average of 15,160 for three Con¬ 
secutive years. 
The oldest herd bull at Glenside is 
General Clay, Sr., a massive fellow 
weighing better than 2,000 pounds in 
working condition. Hie has 28 daughters 
in the Register of Merit, 19 of them av¬ 
eraging 10,103 pounds of milk in one 
year. He sired these good daughters be¬ 
cause he was bred that way and could 
not help it. His sire Imp’d Duke But¬ 
tercup has 18 Register of Merit daugh- 
ters- and several producing sons. His 
dam Mamie Clay 2d has a record of 13,- 
233 pounds of milk in one year and is 
the dam of Mamie’s Minnie, record 16,- 
201 pounds. Mr. Davies of Iowa has a 
cow that weighs 1,850 pounds and has 
given 1,500 pounds of milk in 30 days. 
Rose of Blackwood, owned by Mr. 
Stoner, has a record of 17,564 pounds of 
milk, 569.7 pounds of biitterfat. The 
milking Shorthorn Year Book for 1916 
lists ISl cows and heifers in the Register 
of Merit, 24 of them with records better 
than 10,000 pounds. These were all rec¬ 
ords of one season’s lactation; no cows 
kept dry for a period of rest and then 
heavily fed for a 30-day sprint. 
Bright Eyes, a heifer of my own breed¬ 
ing dropped her first calf when nearly 
three years old and gave 9,000 pounds of 
milk in one year, failing to breed again 
she wms short fed and after being heavi¬ 
ly shrunken weighed 1,250 pounds and 
dressed 730 pounds of choice beef. With 
heavy feeding she could have been made 
to weigh around 1,500 pounds. Bed Bess 
owned by Frank Brace of Pennsylvania 
made in three consecutive years 31,576 
pounds of milk. 
It is only a few years that Shorthorn 
breeders have thought it worth while to 
keep milk records of their herds, and 
there is where their management has 
been weak, for nothing will help to build 
up the reputation of the Shorthorn as 
a milker as fast as authentic records of 
production. There have been no boom 
prices paid for milking Shorthorns for 
advertising purposes, hut there is some 
one ready to buy all the good record 
stock that is offered at very good prices.

pasteurize the cream by heating it to 
142 to 145 degrees and holding it there 
for 30 minutes. Then cool to the churn¬ 
ing temperature, hold for three or four 
hours and churn sweet, or add 10 to 
15% good sour milk starter, and allow 
cream to ripen at 70 degrees until it 
tastes sour, and then churn. Pasteur¬ 
ized sweet cream butter is the best but¬ 
ter to store, as it keeps better. The 
cream may be pasteurized by setting it 
on the stove in a tank of hot water. The 
cream should be stirred during the heat¬ 
ing process. n, f. j. 
Stringy Milk 
Will you tell me the cause of and rem¬ 
edy for stringy cream? The milk is 
stringy after standing for some time. 
The cow has been looked over by a veter¬ 
inary surgeon and is all right. 
New Jersey. • s, e. t. 
If the milk is not stringy when drawn 
but develops this character later the 
trouble is due to undesirable bacterial 
growth. The trouble will doubtless he 
remedied by boiling all utensils with 
■w'hich the milk comes in contact. 
n. F. J. 
Proportion of Butter to Cream 
How many pounds of butter are made 
out ot 10 gallons of 20% cream? Will 
feeding a higher protein feed increase the 
amount of cream in the milk? ii. c. F. 
Maine. 
Twenty per cent, cream weighs 8.4 
lbs. to the gallon. Ten gallons would 
weigh 84 lbs. 'Since 20% of the 84 lbs. is 
hutterfat, the 10 gallons of cream would 
contain 16.8 lbs. of hutterfat It is usu¬ 
ally figured that a pound of hutterfat 
makes 1 1-6 lbs. butter. Hence the 16.8 
lbs. of hutterfat wmuld make 19.6 lbs. 
of butter. This amount will, of course, 
vary slightly according to methods used. 
A high protein ration will not increase 
the per cent, of hutterfat in the milk.

Churning Troubles 
I am having churning troubles. We 
have a fine Jersey cow. lentil the very 
warm weather came we made butter all 
right. Now we churn and take off a 
few pounds of butter, and then we can 
churn the buttermilk a second time and 
get a pound or more of Ini’tter. We can 
Another Case of Stringy Milk 
We have a young cow, second calf, 
which gives a good quantity of rich milk, 
and seems in perfect health. At times 
the milk becomes stringy, after standing 
a short time. Her udder is soft no 
lumps. AYhat should we do? F. R. S. 
New York. 
If the milk ever strings when straining 
it just after it is drawn it is probable 
that the udder is infected with garget. 
If, however, it develops occasionally after 
standing it is probably due to bacterial 
contamination. In this case the utensils 
should be sterilized carefully by boiling 
water. Keep them in the water while it 
boils. While milk in this stringy condi¬ 
tion is not palatable to most people it is 
not harmful. .... . H, L. J, 
It’s Natural tor a 
Hog to Wallow 
Here’s a good thing to do: Provide 
a wallow close to the feeding 
grounds to which add Dr. Hess Dip 
and Disinfectant. As the hogs pass 
back and forth from the wallow to 
the feed trough, the DIP will kill 
the lice and cleanse the skin, while 
the DRIP will destroy the disease 
germs and the worms that pollute 
the ground. That will mean a clean, 
healthy skin, freedom from lice, a 
safeguard against disease and 
larger, better porkers.
