Temperature for Churning 
IIow should I reduce cream to the 
right temperature when it is too high for 
churning? I have trouble with the butter 
gathering; sometimes churn for three or 
four hours, and again it will come in 40 
minutes. Can you advise me what to 
do when it is.'so long gathering? 
New Jersey. mbs. w. e. 
One of the best ways to cool cream to 
the desired churning temperature is to 
set the pail or can of cream in a larger 
receptacle of cold water or ice water, and 
stir the cream occasionally until the de¬ 
sired temperature has been obtained. 
Always remember that the cream should 
be held at the churning temperature a 
few hours before churning, so that the fat 
may harden and be in better condition 
to make good, firm mutter. This of course 
applies particular y where the cream has 
just been held at a higher temperature for 
ripening. Ice should never be added 
directly to cream for cooling, because 
much of it contains undesirable bacteria. 
When butter gathers slowly it may be 
due to any one or a combination of sev¬ 
eral factors; in your case I think it is 
probably due to a low churning tempera¬ 
ture where the fat is so hard it will not 
gather quickly, but will whip instead. 
The remedy is to use a higher churning 
temperature, or in the case of trouble 
with a batch simply remove some of the 
cream, warm it up a few degrees and re¬ 
turn to the churn. It is a poor practice 
to add warm water to the cream, because 
the fat is likely to become too soft and 
give butter lacking in firmness. Where 
thin cream is churned it is obviously im 
practical. Where butter is made from 
cream from cows advanced in lactation 
there is sometimes a little trouble because 
at that time the fat globules are small 
and do not gather easily. I do not know 
whether this applies to your case.

Use of Marsh Hay 
On page 459 B. S.. Michigan, asks 
what use can be made of marsh hay. 
If they would cut this hay and put it 
f. o. b. cars for about .$8 to $10 per ton 
they would find ready sale for it in the 
East. I formerly bought several cars of 
salt meadow hay every year for bedding. 
This hay would cost me $9 to $10 per 
ton delivered. The last few years it has 
advanced to $18 and $20 delivered. 
Dealers are buying up the entire output, 
and you cannot buy direct, as formerly. 
I am now using oat straw, which costs 
me in carload lots $14 to $15 delivered. 
Would much prefer marsh hay at $15 
delivered, and would buy several carloads 
myself every year. max p. aklt.

Genuine Merit is the 
Real Reason Why 
The claim of purebred Holsteins to the 
title of the “Most Profitable” is not based 
on individual tests, but on a great unifor¬ 
mity of high productiveness. 
Holstein cows produce more milk and 
more butter per year and per lifetime, and 
at a more economical figure, than cows of 
other breeds. 
Boards of Health throughout the land 
are endorsing Holstein cows’ milk. 
The United States Public Health Ser¬ 
vice advised the use of Holstein cows’ 
milk, 
Holsteins have solved the economic 
problems of the dairyman. 
And for these reasons and many others 
you should become a “Holsteiner.”
