ay of 
Milking 
Better than Hand Milking 
“We get more milk—consider¬ 
ably more—with the same cows on 
the same feed, and we believe this 
comes from the even and regular 
pulsations. Every cow is milked 
exactly alike every morning and 
night, and that is better than we 
can do by hand.” 
This is a statement from a 
De Laval Milker user which we 
have just received. There is noth¬ 
ing unusual about it, as we have hun¬ 
dreds of letters from De Laval users 
equally as good. North, South, 
East and West, De Laval Milker 
users are proving that it is “A Bet¬ 
ter way of Milking.” It produces 
more milk and saves time. It in¬ 
creases production and decreases 
the cost of production. It is the 
most useful, satisfactory and profit¬ 
able piece of equipment a dairyman 
can own.

A Jersey and Her Twentieth Calf 
Twenty calves at 21 years of age is the 
breeding record of Financial King’s In¬ 
terest, a Jersey cow owned by Greystone 
Farms. The last calf is a heifer, and is 
one of If) sisters, the other calf being a 
hull. At 20 years of age this cow made 
an official record of 7,302 lbs. milk and 
400 lbs. blitter fat. and she has a previous 
record that was still higher. She will he 
put on test again to test the limit of a 
cow at. advanced age and also as au 
object lesson of what can be made from 
a cow whose years are so prolific in dairy 
products and calves. 
Value of Sudan Grass 
Never having seen this forage plant 
growing, and wishing to learn as to its 
value as compared with oats or the mil¬ 
lets as an insurance of green feed for the 
dry months of July and August, L sent to 
a reliable seed house for a package of 
seed, and sowed it in a drill row in the 
.garden April 25. This received the regu¬ 
lar garden cultivation, and made remark- 
lable growth. June 15 1 cut a section of 
this row. and continued cutting this same 
I section every week or 10 days. By July 
the butter. The salt should be evenly 
distributed and the butter worked free of 
all water or buttermilk. 
The butter should be packed in one or 
two-pound crocks, which have been pre¬ 
viously scalded in boiling water. Pack 
the butter firmly in the crocks and leave 
no air spaces. Wrap each crock of but¬ 
ter with a piece of muslin which has been 
previously boiled. Place the crocks con¬ 
taining the butter in a larger crock which 
has been sterilized with boiling water and 
allowed to cool in a clean place. Over 
the crocks containing the butter pour 
brine of such strength that it floats an 
egg. To every three pounds of salt used 
one pound of sugar and one-fourth pound 
of powdered saltpeter should be added. 
The brine mixture should be boiled, 
skimmed and allowed to cool before using. 
When the crocks are not at hand the 
butter may be made in prints or rolls, 
which should be wrapped in butter-cloth 
or parchment paper and immersed in the 
above brine. 
Still another method which is some¬ 
times used in preserving butter is that of 
“salting it down.” 
Select a crock or stone jar suitable in 
size and thoroughly scald it and allow to 
cool. The butter is packed in the crock 
in layers of about 4 inches each. Be¬ 
tween each layer is placed a light cover¬ 
ing of the following mixture: One pound 
loaf sugar, 3 pounds salt and one-fourth 
pound pulverized saltpeter. A space of 
about 3 inches should be left on top and

11 it had been cm three times. It comes 
back green and thrifty after every cut¬ 
ting. Unlike the other substitutes for 
hay, it keeps green at the bottom all the 
time. There are no yellow or dried-up 
leaves at all, and this in the face of the 
fact that we have been and are still pass¬ 
ing through the longest dry spell that T 
can call to mind. While 1 had read that 
this grass was a.wonderful plant to with¬ 
stand drought I was surprised at its per¬ 
formance in this instance, and under ex¬ 
treme conditions. 
The remainder of the 100-foot row was 
cut and fed to the cows when in full head, 
and the way they got away with it looks 
as though it was good for them. The 
grass when cut was about up to my shoul¬ 
der. All considered, it appears to me to 
be a plant of great value, especially on 
small farms, where there is little or no 
pasture room for the stock. Under these 
conditions formerly 1 used to sow Hun¬ 
garian millet, but this does not stool or 
jsucker out as does the Sudan grass, and 
also the stems become dry and woody if 
left too long before cutting. It does not 
grow iii> again after cutting, as does the 
grass in question. I believe it will be 
tried out more extensively on this farm 
another season. I also saved some of the 
feterita seed, but do not consider it anv 
advantage over Fvergreen sweet corn for 
fodder purposes. n. K. cox.

Preserving Butter tor Home Use 
Could you furnish me some informa¬ 
tion regarding packing butter away in 
June for use in the Fall and Winter 
months? J - F - D. 
Pennsylvania. 
When proper attention is given to a 
few important details butter can be stored 
at home for future consumption. The 
butter should be made from cream which 
has not become overripe and which pos¬ 
sesses a clean acid flavor. Any off flavors 
present in the cream are very apt to be¬ 
come intensified in the butter. Extreme 
care should be exercised, too, in working 
kept covered with a strong solution of 
brine. 
Still another method that is being 
highly recommended, and which can best 
be used when the butter is put into tubs, 
may be outlined as follows: 
1. Use cream that is sweet. There is 
more of a tendency for off flavors to de¬ 
velop in butter made from sour cream. 
2. The sweet cream must be pasteur¬ 
ized. so as to make the churning less dif¬ 
ficult. Sweet, cream will cause difficult 
churning, because of its viscosity. Pas¬ 
teurizing or heating breaks this “sticki¬ 
ness.” 
3. Wooden tubs or earthenware crocks 
are used for storage containers. The 
container must be thoroughly scalded and 
cooled before the butter is packed in it. 
If the butter is packed solidly in the tub 
or jar the surface should be covered with 
a white cloth that has been boiled for 
several minutes. The elotl) should be a 
little larger than the diameter of the sur¬ 
face to be covered. The cloth is then 
covered with a layer of salt one-sixth to 
one-eighth of an inch in depth. This 
layer of salt will keep the surface of the 
butter from spoiling. 
If the butter is in print form the prints 
should be carefully packed in the jar or 
tub and weighted down with clean bricks 
or stones. The butter should then be 
covered with a saturated solution of 
brine. This brine is made in the pro¬ 
portions of 1 pound of salt to 4 pounds 
of water. 
It will be noted that this last method 
involves special change in the ordinary 
steps of butter-making. It does, how¬ 
ever. give good results. 
In every ease it is important that an 
extra supply of brine be kept on baud in 
sealed jars so as to replenish the brine 
supply from time to time. J. w. B. 
It was a sleepy village and its fire 
brigade was anything but up-to-date. One 
night a fire was announced by the violent 
ringing of the alarm bell, and the sleepy 
brigade arrived at the scene of action 
to find the burning building a mass of 
smoke. No flames were visible from the 
outside. The captain made a careful sur¬ 
vey. Then he lit his pipe and started to 
smoke. “We’d better leave it alone an’ 
let it bum up a bit.” lie said. “Then 
we’ll be able to see what we are doing.”
