Making Good Dairy Butter 
(Continued from Page 1866) 
variations due to individuality are cov¬ 
ered up. 
6. Thickness of cream. Cream which 
tests 20 per cent or less churns with 
greater difficulty than a 30 to 35 per cent 
cream, simply because the butterfat par¬ 
ticles are nearer together in the 30 per 
cent cream. One should aim t'o make a 
30 per cent cream for butter-making. 
Without a separator this is, of course, 
impossible, and a man without a sepa¬ 
rator is more liable to experience difficulty 
in churning at various times. Too thick 
cream ,is not desirable, as it sticks to the 
churn and churns with difficulty. 
(2) Factors pertaining to the hand¬ 
ling of cream : 
1. Bacterial contamination. It some¬ 
times happens, although eases are rare, 
that cream becomes contaminated with 
certain ferments which cause it to froth 
and foam and makes churning an impos¬ 
sibility. 
2. Sourness of cream. Although sour 
cream looks thicker than sweet cream, it 
is less sticky and the fat globules come 
together into butter more easily from sour 
cream than from sweet cream. 
3. Churning temperature. In all prob¬ 
ability a large proportion of the cases of 
difficult churning are due to the fact that 
the butter-maker does not possess and use 
a good dairy thermometer. No definite 
churning temperature can be given to ap¬ 
ply to all cases. In general, on the farm, 
the churning temperatures should be 52 
degrees to 58 degrees Fahr. in Summer, 
and 5S degrees to 65 degrees Fahr. in 
Winter. 
(3) Factors pertaining to the churning 
process: 
1. Type of churn. The churn should be 
of the barrel or combined type and be so 
built as to give proper concussion. In 
case of the barrel churn the staves should 
be nearly straight or else cream will flow 
around in the churn rather than rise and 
fall. 
2. Fullness of the churn. To secure 
best results the churn should never be 
filled more than one-half full of cream. 
To get butter to come there must be con¬ 
cussion. There is no room for it in the 
churn that is too full. Neither will the 
butter come easily in a churn that has 
but little cream in it, due to the fact that 
cream simply coats and sticks on to the 
sides of the churn. 
3. The speed of the churn. The speed 
should be such that the cream can be 
heard to rise and fall with each revolution 
of the churn. Too slow speed means that 
the cream simply flows from one end of 
the churn to the other, while too fast 
speed means that the cream is held sta¬ 
tionary in one end of the churn. 
A Combination or Circumstances.— 
More often a combination of some of the 
factors above mentioned cause difficult 
churning. For example, a man with one 
cow, well advanced in lactation, in the 
Winter time, raising cream by gravity, 
feeding corn stover, Timothy bay,, gluten 
and bran, and churning in a churn that is 
large enough to accommodate the cream 
from five cows, certainly is in a bad pre¬ 
dicament, and lias reasons enough why his 
cream doesn’t “come.” The remedies can 
be read in the causes as they have been 
stated. Some have reported that scald¬ 
ing the milk before separating it over¬ 
comes the trouble. Either this or pas¬ 
teurizing the cream by heating it to 145 
degrees Fahr. and holding it for from 20 
to 40 minutes is sure to help, particularly 
if cream is to be churned in a sweet con¬ 
dition. 
Dividend From Cheese Making 
How would you strike a dividend from 
the money received for one month’s milk, 
where we must divide a certain amount 
of money among our patrons? This is on 
the basis of 3 per cent milk and 4 cents for 
each point in test over 3 per cent. The 
milk is made into cheese. M. c. B. 
Vermont. 
Cheese today is worth 32c a pound. 
Assuming that your milk averages 4 per 
cent fat, and produces the standard 10.0 
lbs. cheese to the ewt.. 100 lbs. of milk is 
worth $3.39, and the whey 22o.. or $3.61 
for 100 lbs. of milk. This will leave 28c 
per cwt. of milk for labor and dividend. 
With an average sized creamery it should 
pay a small dividend; but it requires close 
figuring, use of every ounce of material 
and no mishaps.
