Butter With Cheese Flavor 
Butter I am making has a taste of 
cheese when finished. I take great pains 
in keeping everything very clean. Is it 
the food or is it the cow? j. w. r. 
New Jersey. 
Your difficulty is not due to the cow or 
her feed, but is undoubtedly due to the 
following causes. I am sure if you fol¬ 
low standard directions carefully you will 
have no difficulty with cheese flavors. 
Cheesy flavors may be caused by a high 
buttermilk content; ripening the cream 
until it is too sour or a combination of 
both factors. The high acidity of souring 
is found in farm cooling facilities. Cream 
as soon as separated should he 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 temperature 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 churning temperature 
(52° F. to 56° F.), and held at that 
temperature for at least two hours be¬ 
fore churning. This will give a butter 
which is firm and waxy and not salvy, 
as will be the case in churning cream im¬ 
mediately after it has been ripened and 
cooled to churning temperatures. A dairy 
thermometer is indispensable in churning 
work. 
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 the 
churning is continued until one large 
mass of butter has been gathered, the but¬ 
ter milk will have become incorporated 
into the butter and no amount of wash¬ 
ing will completely remove it. This point 
is important in churning, and is the more 
so if the butter is to be stored for any 
length of time. The bacteria that pro¬ 
duce off flavors act upon this incorporat¬ 
ed butter milk, hence the necessity of re¬ 
moving it. j. w . B. 
In regard to your customer who objects 
to dark colored yolks, you can easily as¬ 
certain if your eggs have very dark yolks 
by opening a few, and if you find that 
your customers criticism is unmerited it 
might be well to look for a more agreeable 
dealer. I see no reason for the yolks to 
be off color with your system of feeding. 
C. S. GREENE. 
Two colored men were standing on the 
corner discussing family trees. “Yes, 
suh, man,” said Ambrose, “I can trace 
my relations back to a family tree.” 
“Chase ’em back to a family tree,” said 
Mose. “Naw, man, trace ’em, trace ’em 
—get me?” “Well, they ain’t but two 
kinds of things dat live in trees. Birds 
and monkeys, and you sho’ ain’t got no 
feathers on you.”—Judge.

Cottage Cheese; Dark Yolks 
It is possible for me to get the curd 
from sour milk (pressed dry like cheese) 
for two cents per pound. Can you tell 
me how this cheese compares with beef 
scrap as to protein? Would 100 lbs. of 
cheese contain as much as 100 lbs. beef 
scrap, and is this a fair price for cheese? 
I have- been supplying a market with a 
Jewish trade, in New York City, with 
eggs, for a little over two years. They 
now complain that the yolks of the eggs 
are too dark in color. I am feeding the 
Cornell ration of mash and scratch feed, 
the oats boiled in place of green feed. I 
do not feed Alfalfa or clover, and more 
than a month ago I took the gluten from 
my mash, thinking that might make the 
yolks dark. We do not let our hens run 
out-of-doors. They, still complain. Can 
you make any suggestions? c. H. F. 
New York. 
■ Skim-milk curd or. cottage cheese as it 
is called, which has been properly made 
without letting the milk get too old and 
developing undesirable ferments, is an ex¬ 
cellent feed for poultry of all ages, and 
at two cents per pound,,it is the cheap- 
eat animal food .available. Its analysis 
depends almost entirely upon how much 
moisture is left it) during the process of 
manufacture. Figuring that this curd s 
made by removing 75 lbs. of water from 
100 lbs. of skim-milk the curd would 
analyze as follows: Ash, 2.8 per cent; 
protein, 14.4 per cent; carbohydrates, 
20.4 per cent and .fat, .8 per.cent. The 
value of milk products cannot be judged 
entirely by their protein content, as there 
are many other elements which add value 
to the milk and its products when mak¬ 
ing comparisons. Semi-solid buttermilk, 
according to the Massachusetts Agricul¬ 
tural College, contains 12.43 per cent of 
protein or less than one-quarter as much 
as good beef scrap contains, yet it sells 
for a higher price than beef scrap and 
usually produces comparatively good re¬ 
sults.
