The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Hard Churning and Bitter Butter 
Can .ron toll me xvbat is the trouble 
with oiir milk? I am not able to bring 
the butter. The cream beat** up to a 
white foam, and if it does come, it tastes 
bitter. I have only one cow and feed 
her a mixture of bran, stock feed and 
eornmeal (moistened), with hay night and 
morning and cornstalks at noon. Would 
cornstalks cause the trouble? The but¬ 
ter came all right until I began using 
them. M. M. 
Connecticut. 
I should assume from your letter that 
your cow is nearly dry. As a cow ad¬ 
vances in her lactation period, the fat 
globules become smaller and cause dif¬ 
ficult. churning. In some cows this 
peculiarity becomes so pronounced that 
the cream will not churn at all. The. 
ration which you are feeding contains no 
feeds such as silage, roots or linseed oil- 
meal to make the butterfat soft. The 
bitterness of the butter is likewise due 
chiefly to the fat that the cow is well 
advanced in lactation. These peculiari¬ 
ties can be bettered somewhat by putting 
some of the other feed*; into the ration. 
This ration is suggested: Three parts 
eornmeal. two parts bran, two parts 
ground oats, two parts oilmeal. Feed 
1 lb. of grain to each 3 lbs. of milk pro¬ 
duced. together with 3 lbs. beet pulp 
daily. Soak (he beet pulp 12 hours be¬ 
fore feeding. j. w. b.
