Trouble With Churning 
Coming Live Stock Sales 
My cow was fresh the first of March. 
I churn once a week. I tested my cream 
with thermometer. It stood 60. I 
churned two hours, but the butter would 
not gather. Thermometer then stood at 
70 in churn. If I cannot do better I 
shall want to sell the cow. J. E. T. 
Your difficulty in churning is a com¬ 
mon one at this time of the year. The 
following directions should aid you in 
checking up your methods. I should 
especially recommend your giving careful 
attention to temperatures. After the 
cream has been well ripened or soured, 
preparatory to churning, the cream should 
be cooled down to about 54 or 58 degrees 
and held at that temperature at least two 
hours before churning. It requires two 
hours for the fat to become adjusted to 
the cooler temperature. This will give a 
firmer butter. I should churn in the 
coolest place I could find, and would use 
a churning temperature for the cream be¬ 
low 60 degrees. You stated that the but¬ 
ter came within a reasonable time, but 
would not “gather.” This was due to 
the high temperature (70), which made 
the butter granules so soft that they 
would not adhere to one another. I 
think your difficulty can be readily over¬ 
come by using cooler temperatures. I 
should not sell the cow until I had tried 
out the directions a little more fully. 
Later, if your difficulty continues, I 
should be glad to hear from you further.

Trouble With Milk 
What ails our milk? It refuses to sour 
and clabber, and regardless of what tem¬ 
perature I keep it in it ferments. Is it 
harmful to use this milk? My cow, a 
Jersey, had her calf in March. She has 
been fed on grain and Alfalfa. Could a 
cow that has already been tested for tu¬ 
berculosis contract this disease? l. a. e. 
It is difficult to advise just what your 
trouble is since you do not state the con¬ 
ditions under which your milk is pro¬ 
duced. The fact that the milk ferments 
but does not sour indicates that undesir¬ 
able organisms get into the milk and 
crowd out the milk-souring bacteria. 
When one wants to sour milk it is usual¬ 
ly held at a temperature around 75 de¬ 
grees for 12 to 24 hours. This tempera¬ 
ture favors most the growth of souring 
bacteria. The drawing of the milk under 
clean conditions, into sterile utensils and 
the immediate cooling to a temperature 
of 50 degree or below, and keeping it 
cold, will aid materially in keeping out 
the undesirable organisms. When cows 
are on pasture their bodies are often 
cleaner than when in barns. The result 
is that the quality of the milk improves 
at this time of the year. 
The tuberculin test simply indicates 
the presence of tuberculosis. It does not 
prevent the contraction of the disease in 
any way. It is possible, therefore, for 
an animal to develop the disease after be¬ 
ing tested. Cases have been known 
where a cow will show a clean test and 
within six months be a reactor, showing 
either a dormant case at the first test, or 
a contraction of the disease shortly after 
the test. J. w. B.
