LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
The Stockyards Crossing Guard 
A large number of the subscribers of 
The Rural New-Yorker ought to be 
able to recognize the face shown in the 
accompanying picture. It is that of Andy 
Osborne, who for the last 28 years has 
held down one of the tricks in watching 
the main crossing of railroads in the 
Union Stockyards, Chicago. During that 
time Andy has been waving safe pas¬ 
sages to some of the most distinguished 
personages in this and many other coun¬ 
tries. Few visitors to Chicago go away 
without visiting the stockyards, and it’s 
Andy’s business to see that they get across 
this busy crossing with their lives. Gov¬ 
ernment officers, from President down, 
have rolled over the several tracks at the 
word from the faithful watchman. 
But it has been during the live stock 
shows that Andy takes care of the big- 
country crowds, for they come from half 
the States of the Union. They come 
bringing some of the best blooded beasts 
of two worlds. Whole rural families 
come and stay for a week, and not a few 
have had a word with the man who clears 
the tracks for them. 
Take a look at Andy’s shanty in the 
Andy Osborne, Railroad Crossing Guard 
at Chicago Stockyards 
picture; you’d think he could hardly 
stand straight up in it, but he does when 
he’s not out on the tracks telling people 
to get across, and be quick about it. 
Andy was born in Ireland 42 years ago.

Cheesy Butter 
My butter tastes cheesy. Wo only have 
two cows for our own use, one a Jersey 
and one Ayrshire, and nearly each time 
they are about dry together. I always 
plan to put down several 10-lb. crocks, 
ready to use when we have none. This 
time the butter is real strong; one would 
almost think it was cheese. I try to put 
it down when we have good grass, about 
July or August mostly, and of course the 
weather is very hot just then, but I usu¬ 
ally work it over or press it down again 
to let out water before I fasten it up to 
stay. It is very soft; maybe that is one 
reason. In other years it was better 
flavored, but I think I put it down in 
June, and I remember it was not quite so 
soft; maybe that has something to do 
with it. I put on top an inch of salt over 
a layer of cheesecloth, and this time it all 
lifted off real dry. MRS. J. M. 
East Bethany, N. Y. 
Cheesy flavors are characteristic of hot 
weather butter. It may be caused by a 
high buttermilk content; ripening the 
cream until it is too sour, or a combina¬ 
tion of both factors. The high acidity of 
souring is found in farm butter made in 
hot weather because of the lack of proper 
cooling facilities. Cream as soon as sepa¬ 
rated should be cooled the same as milk 
to a temperature below 50° F. if possible. 
When it is time to ripen the cream it 
should then be brought to a higher tem¬ 
perature until mildly sour. This usually 
requires about 12 hours in Summer, and 
the temperature should be about 72° F. 
The cream should be cooled to the churn¬ 
ing temperature (52° F. to 56° F.) and 
held at that temperature for at least two 
hours before churning. This will give a 
butter which is firm and waxy s(bd not 
salvy, as will be the case in churning 
cream immediately after it has been 
ripened and cooled to churning tempera¬ 
tures. A dairy thermometer is imlispen- 
sible in churning work. It is easy to see 
how Summer churning will be affected by 
the temperatures of the cream all along 
the line from the time of separation until 
churning. This is especially true when 
ice is not available, and when well or 
spring water is not always below 50° F. 
In reference to the incorporation of 
buttermilk which will later cause a cheesy 
flavor, especially after the butter is in 
storage, should state that the butter 
should be washed enough times to remove 
all buttermilk. The final wash water 
should be clear. Now this is readily done 
if churning is stopped when the butter 
granules are about wheat kernel size. It 
will appear like popcorn particles and 
will expose the greatest amount of sur¬ 
face area to the wash water. If tho 
churning is continued until one large 
mass of butter has been gathered, the 
buttermilk will have become incorporated 
into the butter, and no amount of washing 
will completely remove it. This point is 
important in all churning, and is the 
more so if the butter is to be stored for 
any length of time. The bacteria that 
produce off flavors act upon this incor¬ 
porated buttermilk, hence the necessity of 
removing it. This point can be further 
illustrated by picturing gravel stones 
(butter in kernel form) with a big piece 
of clay (one mass of butter) in the 
churn. Which can be washed the more 
readily, the gravel or the clay? 
I should advise the checking of these 
points and attempt the making of butter 
for storage in May or June, when you 
will have the benefit of cooler weather.

Destroying Warbles 
One of our readers, evidently a back-to- 
the lander, says he has a yearling steer, 
and he wants to butcher for fresh beef. 
He finds that this steer has grubs or war¬ 
bles on his back, and he is afraid that 
they will affect the meat so that it will 
not be good for beef. What can he do to 
get rid of them? 
The best way we know of is to squeeze 
these grubs out. Each one has a little 
puncture in the hide above it through 
which it evidently obtains air. By press¬ 
ing the fingers of both hands on the hide 
around these grubs and squeezing hard 
the insect will pop out through the hole. 
That is the most practical way to get rid 
of them. They would not affect the beef 
injuriously. Probably a very large pro¬ 
portion of the animals slaughtered for 
beef have more or less of these grubs, or, 
as they are called, warbles. 
The life history of the grub is about as 
follows: During the Summer the eggs-are 
laid, usually on the long hairs along the 
flanks of the cattle. These eggs hatch 
into a tiny grub which works in through 
the hairs under the skin and travels about 
the body. They finally locate just under 
the skin on the back of the animal. They 
make a hole for air and slowly develop 
into full size, when they crawl out 
through the hole, fall to the ground and 
go through their life process. Squeezing 
the out as early as they can be discovered 
is the best way to get rid of them.
