Eastern Breeders Organize 
The Eastern Breeders of Aberdeen-An- 
gus cattle held their first annual meeting 
at Cornell University. Ithaca, N. Y., on 
February 17 and organized the first East¬ 
ern association of the breed ever formed. 
Due to the increased cost of land and 
labor in the Central States and depletion 
of the range in the Far West, coupled 
with the low prices of grazing land in the 
Eastern States and their nearness to mar¬ 
ket, business has improved for the East 
ern beef producer. The fact that the cat¬ 
tle are solid black in color, naturally 
polled, and adapt themselves to any con¬ 
dition. not to mention the fact that they 
have won 57 championships at the Inter¬ 
national Live Stock Show in Chicago, as 
compared with 17 for all other breeds 
combined, has won them favor with the 
Eastern farmer. There were breeds pres¬ 
ent from the following States: New 
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connec¬ 
ticut, Maryland, Massachusetts and 
Maine, and one of the most enthusiastic 
meetings ever held in the East ensued. 
Among the many subjects discussed were 
various topics on breeding, advertising, 
publicity, boys’ and girls’ calf clubs, etc. 
Plans were laid for a futurity show of 
the breed at one of the Eastern State 
fairs this Fall and the executive commit¬ 
tee was authorized to take the matter in 
hand and make such arrangements as it 
saw fit. The following officers were elect¬ 
ed : President, C. W. Eckardt, New 
York, N. Y. ; Vice-President, A. W. Rey¬ 
nolds. Newtown, Conn.; Secretary-Treas¬ 
urer, F. W. Burnham. Greenfield. Mass.; 
Executive Committee, P. R. Park. Jef¬ 
ferson, Me.; E. S. P.ayard,'Pittsburgh, 
Pa.; J. S. Morse, Levanna, N. Y. 
Butter Making 
As a number of readers of The R. N.- 
Y. have had some trouble in butter-mak¬ 
ing. I will give my method. Skim the 
milk not later than three to four milk¬ 
ings old, whether it is sour or sweet. 
Churn the cream at about 65 degrees 
Fahrenheit. Churn every other day; all 
other work should be secondary to but¬ 
ter-making. Under all circumstances 
churn as often as twice weekly. Skim 
the milk on churning days nearer to the 
last milking than on other ski minings, 
and churn it all together; not necessary 
to go through any ripening process; qual¬ 
ity and quantity will both be better than 
to wait. The butter should come in from 
15 to 20 minutes. Then if a butter bowl 
is used for washing and salting the butter 
it and the ladle should be thoroughly 
scalded and afterwards cooled, so that the 
butter will not stick to either while being 
used. 
Wash the butter in three or four waters 
of about the same temperature as the 
buttermilk, colder or warmer as the case 
seems to need. Then salt the butter, 
using about eight oz. to 10 lbs. of butter, 
according to taste. Work the butter with 
ladle towards you and from you about six 
times each way, taking about *4 lb. of 
butter each pull. Drain off brine as 
often as it accumulates. If the butter is 
worked too much it will be salvy, if not 
enough, streaked. 
Usually the cream will need coloring, 
especially in Fall, Winter and Spring, 
using about one teaspoonful for three to 
four gallons of cream. Cream, if mid¬ 
dling free from milk, produces nearly 
one-half its bulk of butter, depending of 
course on the richness of the milk from 
which the cream is taken. We must al¬ 
ways bear in mind that milk kept too 
long before skimming, or cream before it 
is churned, will produce bitter, flaky, un¬ 
desirable butter. In packing in tubs or 
jars it should always be by pressing down 
with ladle, and never by trying to smooth 
by drawing, as that will injure the grain 
and appearance. A. r. j. 
LSTEIN CATTLE 
H.R. BOOMER, New Plymouth, Idaho, writes : 
“I engaged in breeding purebred Holsteins 
because this is a natural dairy country, and because 
Holsteins are the largest producers, according to 
the Advanced Registry records of the various breed 
associations. Long ago I noticed that whenever a cow did something worth 
publishing it was usually a Holstein cow.”
