should be fed to cows of this production 
in an amount equal to 1 lb. of grain daily 
to each 3% lbs. of milk produced per day. 
I am mindful of the fact that feed 
prices are relatively high, but since they 
are on the up-grade it is advisable to 
feed a balanced ration in order that one 
might enable his milking herd to produce 
milk under the most favorable circum¬ 
stances. As the Winter season ap¬ 
proaches, it will be necessary to feed 
some Alfalfa hay and silage in conjunc¬ 
tion with this grain ration. In the ab¬ 
sence of silage during the Winter sea¬ 
son, moistened beet pulp can replace this 
constituent, although its use adds sub¬ 
stantially to the cost of a ration, f. c. m. 
Buckwheat for Cows 
In advising feed mixture for milk cows 
you recommend buckwheat middlings, but 
I am unable to secure them here. I can 
get what, is marked “Buckwheat Feed,” 
and is said to consist of about one-half 
middlings and one-half bran, including the 
hulls. Guaranteed protein, 11; fat, 2; 
fiber^ 30; $1.25 per cwt. Wheat bran, 
$1.85; chop (equal parts corn and oats), 
$1.95; hominy feed (10-60-5), $2; lin¬ 
seed meal (34 per cent), $2.50; gluten 
feed, $2; cottonseed meal (43 per cent), 
$2.80; middlings, $1.90. I have 'been 
feeding^ milk cows 20 lbs. chop, 10 lbs. 
bran, 5 lbs. of cottonseed meal, linseed 
meal and gluten feed; dry cows and 
heifers, 30 lbs. chop, 15 lbs. bran, 10 lbs. 
linseed meal. F. E. K. 
Ohio. 
There is quite as much difference be¬ 
tween buckwheat feed analyzing 11 per 
cent of protein and buckwheat middlings 
carrying 28 per cent of protein as there 
is between skim-milk and whole milk. By 
the same process of reasoning, if one 
drank enough skim-milk to equalize in 
nutritious value the given amount of the 
whole milk, he might meet the desired 
standards. But this one dislikes to do. 
Again, buckwheat middlings are low in 
fiber and buckwheat feed is high in fiber. 
Not only does the buckwheat middlings 
give you more protein, but they give you 
more carbohydrates as well, and the ratio 
of digestibility is much higher in the mid¬ 
dlings than in the feed. So if you have 
whole buckwheat in season, it will be dis¬ 
tinctly to your advantage to take this to 
the mill, let the miller take out the buck¬ 
wheat flour and give you the equivalent 
of the buckwheat middlings, and do what 
he wants to do with the so-called buck¬ 
wheat bran. 
A combination of cornmeal and gluten 
feed can be concocted that can be sub¬ 
stituted for buckwheat middlings. But 
where economy is the objective, we have 
insisted upon utilizing buckwheat mid¬ 
dlings, for under most conditions experi¬ 
enced during Winter months at least, 
there is scarcely any feed that is as eco¬ 
nomical and as desirable and as advan¬ 
tageous to supplement purchased concen¬ 
trates as this product. F. C. M. 
like popcorn particles and will expose 
the greatest amount of surface area to 
the wash water. If the churning is con¬ 
tinued 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 but¬ 
ter is to be stored for any length of 
time. The bacteria that produce off 
flavors, act upon this incorporated but¬ 
termilk hence the necessity of removing

Butter With Cheesy Flavor 
Why does sweet butter taste cheesy 
so soon? I churn every day, hand 
skimming, milk ©trained through a Dr. 
Clark strainer. I do not know how to 
pasteurize and doubt if I could as we 
have no steam. I cannot use a sepa¬ 
rator. We have good sale for cottage 
cheese, and they like my butter well, but 
say it does not keep. mrs. w. j. u. 
Connecticut. 
Cheesy flavors 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 because 
of the lack of proper cooling facilities. 
Cream as soon as separated should be 
cooled the same as milk to a temperature 
below 50 degrees Fahr. if possible. When 
it is time to ripen the cream it should 
(then be brought to a higher tempera¬ 
ture until mildly sour. This usually re¬ 
quires about 12 hours in Summer, and 
( the temperature should be about 72 de¬ 
grees Fahr. The cream should be cooled 
to the churning temperature (52 to 56 
degrees Fahr.) and held at that temper¬ 
ature for at least two hours before churn¬ 
ing. This will give a butter which is 
firm and waxy and not salvy, as will be 
the ease in churning cream immediately 
after it has been ripened and cooled to 
churning temperatures. A dairy ther¬ 
mometer 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 but¬ 
ter should be washed enough times to re¬ 
move all buttermilk. The final churning 
is stopped when the butter granules are 
about wheat kernel size. It will appear

above an umbrella stand which read: 
“The umbrellas in this stand belongs to 
the champion fighter of the world. He 
is coming back.” Ten minutes later the 
umbrella and sign had disappeared. In 
its place was placed a scrap of paper on 
which was written : “The umbrella is now
