Ill-flavored  Butter 
When  butter  is  a  few  days  old  it  tastes 
slightly  bitter.  The  cow  gets  two  mashes 
a  day,  night  and  morning.  I  make  a 
mash  of  mangels,  cornmeal  and  bran,  and 
we  feed  her  cornstalks ;  no  hay.  She  gets 
plenty  of  pure  water  that  has  been  tested. 
The  cow  is  in  good  health  and  milks  well ; 
Guernsey.  Sometimes  I  notice  she  eats 
her  bed ;  maybe  that  would  cause  the 
trouble.  We  keep  her  out  a  good  deal  in 
the  cowyard  for  exercise ;  the  horses  are 
there  sometimes.  Milk  is  kept  in  clean 
ice  box  by  itself.  All  vessels  are  steril¬ 
ized.  I  churn  the  cream  sweet.  I  have 
no  trouble  in  churning.  How  may  I  make 
sweet  butter?  m.  j.  c. 
The  bitter  flavor  which  develops  in 
your  butter  is  caused  by  the  action  of 
certain  bacteria  which  grow  best  at  low 
temperatures  and  without  the  presence  of 
the  ordinary  types  of  bacteria  which  sour 
milk.  This  condition  is  often  met  when 
one  wishes  to  make  sweet  butter. 
When  cream  is  soured  for  churning 
the  cream  is  held  at  a  higher  temperature 
and  the  bitter  flavor  bacteria  will  not  de¬ 
velop  well  because  of  the  milk-sourin"  or¬ 
ganisms  and  the  resultant  lactic  acid. 
Creameries  which  make  sweet  butter  con¬ 
trol  the  bacterial  growth  by  pasteurizing 
the  cream.  They  heat  the  cream  to 
142  deg.F.,  and  hold  it  at  that  temperature 
for  30  minutes,  after  which  time  the 
cream  is_  cooled  arid  kept  cold  for  churn¬ 
ing.  This  is  quite  impossible  to  do  under 
ordinary  conditions.  The  next  best  thing 
to  do  is  to  produce  clean  milk.  Have  the 
cow  s  udder  and  teats  clean  at  milking 
time,  and  use  a  small-top  pail.  These 
bacteria  get  into  the  milk  from  the  cow’s 
body,  and  are  carried  into  the  cream  and 
then  into  the  butter.  So  we  have  to  start 
with  the  production  of  the  milk  to  control 
the  flavor  of  the  butter. 
Sometimes  certain  strongly  flavored 
teeds  will  cause  bitter  flavors.  If  your 
cow  eats  her  bedding  regularly,  that  might 
cause  bitter  flavor.  The  chances  are, 
however,  these  bacteria  get  onto  the  cow’s 
flanks,  tail  and  udder  and  fall  into  the 
milk  pail  at  milking  time.  Try  to  pro- 
rn0?  c^e£,n  hold  your  cream  at  about 
oO  deg.  h  .,  and  churn  as  often  as  you  can. 
±ry  to  avoid  holding  the  sweet  cream  at 
too  low  a  temperature  for  a  long  period 
of  time.  jw.b. 
Uowpox 
I  would  like  to  kuow  how  to  get  rid 
ot  what  a  veterinary  calls  ‘'a  form  of 
ringworm  on  cows.  It  does  not  seem 
to  hurt  the  cows  in  any  way,  but  it  gets 
on  my  hands.  I  cannot  get  rid  of  it,  and 
mu1S.Jery  convenient,  as  it  itches  so. 
Irie  disease,  when  first  noticed,  is  simply 
an  eruption  of  the  skin.  In  a  day  or  so 
it  starts  to  itch  and  then  forms  a  very 
small  “pimple,”  which  is  filled  with  a 
white  or  colorless  fluid,  and  if  this  fluid 
is  put  on  any  other  place  it  seems  to 
torm  other  eruptions  and  keep  on  spread- 
F.  A  w. 
New  York. 
Your  description  leads  me  to  believe 
that  co, w pox  is  the  disease  present  rather 
than  a  form  of  ringworm.  The  only  form 
of  ringworm  I  know  of  is  that  caused  by 
the  vegetable  parasite  called  Tricophyton 
tonsurans.  The  bald  spots  it  causes  be¬ 
come  covered  with  thick  crusts.  Calves 
are  most  often  affected,  and  the  spots 
chiefly  appear  upon  the  face  and  neck. 
In  adult  cattle  ringworm  often  affects  the 
skin  about  ^he  root  of  the  tail  and  along 
the  backbone.  Iodine  tincture  or  strong 
iodine  ointment  is  an  effective  remedy  for 
ringworm.  A  cheaper  remedy  is  a  solu¬ 
tion  of  four  ounces  of  sulphate  of  copper 
( Milestone)  in  one  pint  of  hot  water,  to 
be  applied  at  intervals  of  six  or  seven 
days.  It  cannot  be  safely  applied,  how¬ 
ever,  when  the  spots  surround  the  eyes. 
For  those  it  is  better  to  bathe  with  a 
commercial  solution  of  hypochlorite  of 
soda,  repeating  the  applications  daily  un¬ 
til  healing  is  proceeding  rapidly,  at  which 
stage  the  medicine  may  be  applied  less 
often.  Cowpox  usually  causes  an  erup¬ 
tion  of  pustules  upon  the  teats,  but  not 
upon  the  udder  or  body.  Occasionally, 
however,  they  appear  on  the  udder  and 
also  on  the  muzzles  of  nursing  calves. 
The  milker’s  hands  readily  become  in¬ 
fected  and  the  attack  immunizes  him 
against  small  pox.  Cowpox  pustules  are 
peculiar  in  that  they  have  concave  or 
dented  tops  and  the  liquid  (lymph)  is 
eontained  in  several  compartments,  which 
may  be  determined  by  pricking  them  with 
a  needle.  The  disease  has  to  run  its 
course,  which  may  uot  exceed  20  days, 
when  the  sores  do  not  become  infected. 
New  crops  of  pustules  may,  however,  con¬ 
tinue  to  form  on  new  parts  of  the  skin. 
An  affected  cow  should  be  isolated  and 
milked  by  one  who  does  not  attend  to  the 
other  cows,  or  may  be  milked  last.  The 
chief  object  of  treatments  liould  be  to  pre¬ 
vent  infection  of  the  sores.  To  that  end 
they  should  be  painted  with  a  saturated 
solution  of  permanganate  of  potash  once 
or  twice  daily.  Strong  iodine  ointment 
may  be  applied  to  any  sore  that  is  obsti¬ 
nate  in  healing.  An  infected  stable  should 
also  be  cleansed,  disinfected  and  white¬ 
washed  under  direction  of  a  veterinarian. 
If  the  spots  in  the  case  in  question  form 
on  the  body  and  are  not  covered  with 
crusts  swab  them  with  a  5  per  cent  solu¬ 
tion  of  coal  tar  disinfectant  twice  daily 
for  two  days,  and  then  apply  compound 
sulphur  ointment  daily.  Lime-sulphur 
paste  solution  would  also  be  effective  as 
treatment.  A.  s.  A.
