Every  cow  in  your  herd  can  be  made  to  pro¬ 
duce  up  to  her  full  capacity 
— if  you  look  well  to  her  ration,  her  health, 
her  appetite  and  her  digestion. 
Balance  the  ration.  Feed  bran,  oats  and 
corn,  or  their  equivalent,  cottonseed  or  linseed 
meal,  clover  hay,  alfalfa,  silage — pasture  in 
season. 
Remember,  the  better  the  appetite  the 
greater  the  food  consumption,  the  greater  the 
milk  production.

Keeps  Cows  Healthy  Makes  Cows  Hungry 
It  conditions  cows  to  turn  their  ration  of 
grain,  hay  and  fodder  into  pails  of  milk. 
It  contains  Nux  Vomica,  greatest  of  all 
nerve  tonics.  Quassia  produces  appetite,  aids 
digestion.  Salts  of  Iron  keeps  the  blood  rich. 
There  are  Laxatives  for  the  bowels,  Diuretics 
for  the  kidneys,  to  help  throw  off  the  waste 
materials  which  so  often  clog  the  cow’s  system. 
Excellent  for  cows  at  calving.  Feed  it  be¬ 
fore  freshing.  Good  alike  for  all  cattle. 
Tell  your  dealer  how  many  cows  you  have.

Storing  Winter  Butter 
I  wish  to  keep  some  of  my  butter  this 
Winter,  to  use  when  cow  is  dry,  and  for 
Summer  boarders.  Can  it  be  preserved? 
If  so,  can  you  tell  me  how?  At  present 
I  am  pat-king  it  in  crocks,  with  plenty  of 
salt  in  its  making,  and  also  around  it, 
and  wrapped  in  cheesecloth.  m.  g.  b. 
New  Paltz,  N.  Y. 
It  is  interesting  to  note  that  your  case 
is  the  opposite  from  the  usual  cases  of. 
people  desiring  to  preserve  butter.  Most 
butter  is  preserved  during  the  Summer 
months  for  Winter  use.  You  have  the 
advantage  of  cold  weather  temperatures, 
which  should  make  it  easier  to  keep  but¬ 
ter  for  a  longer  period  of  time.  The  1 
following  extract  from  Dr.  Guthrie’s  “The 
Book  of  Butter,”  may  give  you  some  valu¬ 
able  points  in  this  regal'd  : 
“The  storage  of  butter  on  the  small 
scale  for  home  use  has  been  practised  for 
many  years.  The  important  considera¬ 
tion  is  the  obtaining  of  a  good  product 
made  from  sweet  cream.  This  butter 
may  be  packed  solidly  in  jars.  Prints 
may  be  used.  If  the  butter  is  to  be  put 
in  jars  in  a  mass,  the  containers  should 
first  be  thoroughly  scalded.  After  pack¬ 
ing.  the  butter  should  be  covered  with  a 
white  cloth  that  has  been  scalded  in  boil¬ 
ing  water.  Then  a  covering  of  salt  about 
1/32  in.  deep  should  be  put  over  the  cloth. 
The  purpose  of  this  cloth  is  to  aid  in 
removing  the  salt  when  the  butter  is 
taken  from  the  jar. 
“When  prints  are  used,  the  jars  should 
be  treated  by  scalding  as  in  the  above 
ease.  Next,  a  brine  should  be  made  suf¬ 
ficiently  strong  to  float  an  egg.  This 
will  require  about  one-fourth  as  much 
salt  as  water.  In  some  cases  it  is  wise 
to  boil  the  water  to  kill  the  micro-organ¬ 
isms  in  it,  before  the  salt  is  added.  Then 
a  white  cord  should  be  tied  around  each 
print,  for  the  wrapper  is  likely  to  float 
away  if  not  tied  to  it.  The  prints  are 
then  packed  in  the  jar.  and  a  follower, 
such  as  a  stone  plate  or  a  wooden  circle, 
placed  on  the  butter.  Occasionally  con¬ 
crete  followers  are  employed.  If  wood 
is  used  for  this  purpose,  care  must  he 
taken  in  choosing  a  wood  that  will  not 
impart  an  undesirable  flavor  to  the  but¬ 
ter.  The  next  step  is  to  place  a  stone  or 
a  brick  on  the  follower  to  keep  the  but¬ 
ter  submerged  in  the  brine.  These  fol¬ 
lowers  and  weights  must  be  carefully 
cleaned  and  scalded.  Finally  the  brine 
should  be  poured  over  the  butter.  It  may 
be  necessary  from  time  to  time  to  add 
brine  to  keep  the  butter  covered  with  the 
salt  solution. 
“The  print  is  more  convenient  to  take 
from  the  jar  than  solid  packed  butter. 
Fifty  1-lb.  prints  can  be  packed  in  a  10- 
gallon  jar.  Less  print  butter  can  be  I 
packed  in  smaller  jars,  to  the  gallon 
capacity.  This  should  be  kept  in  a  cool 
place.  When  covered  carefully  with 
brine  or  salt,  butter  may  be  held  in  the 
cold  room  where  vegetables  and  fruit  are 
kept.”  J.  w.  b. 
Pasteurizing  Milk 
What  is  the  best  and  cheapest  method 
to  pasteurize  240  quarts  of  milk  per  day? 
Milk  is  sold  in  40-quart  cans.  f.'e.  S. 
Southbury,  Conn. 
One  of  the  best  and  cheapest  methods 
for  pasteurizing  240  quarts  of  milk  per 
day  is  by  the  so-called  “vat”  method.  A 
jacketed  vat  of  75  gallons  capacity  (a 
100-gallon  vat  would  permit  future  ex¬ 
pansion  of  your  business)  can  be  bought 
from  any  dairy  supply  house.  In  the  vat 
method  the  milk  is  heated  to  142  to 
145°  F.  and  held  at  that  temperature  for 
30  minutes.  It  is  necessary,  and  is  an 
essential  part'  of-  any  pasteurizing  pro¬ 
cess.  that  the  milk  be  immediately  cooled 
to  50°  F.  or  below  as  quickly  as  possible 
after  pasteurization.  You  must,  there¬ 
fore,  figure  on  a  cooling  medium.  If  the 
above  mentioned  style  of  vat  is  used,  one 
can  arrange  to  heat  and  cool  in  the  same 
machine.  Or  perhaps  you  would  prefer 
to  pass  the  milk  over  some  type  of  cooler. 
At  any  rate,  I  believe  a  small  vat.  when 
properly  cleaned  and  handled,  will  give 
you  the  best  and  cheapest  way  to  pas¬ 
teurize  your  amount  of  milk.  VV  rite 
dairy  supply  houses  for  prices  and.  in¬ 
formation.  ‘Such  service  is  gladly  given 
free  of  charge  and  is  reliable.  The  ap¬ 
proximate  cost  of  a  vat  alone,  complete 
to  attach  to  your  source  of  steam,  will 
be  about  $250.  By  using  ice  in  the  cir¬ 
culating  tank  of  this  machine  for  cooling, 
this  figure  might  represent  your  only  ex¬ 
penditure  at  this  time  for  such  work,  if 
you  already  have  a  source  of  steam.
