Difficult  Churning 
Could  you  advise  me  as  to  the  cause  of 
cream  being  long  to  churn  under  these 
conditions?  We  milk  three  cows,  one 
recently  fresh,  two  others  strippers.  I 
am  feeding  silage  and  clover  hay.  I  keep 
milk  in  fairly  well-ventilated  quarters; 
my  cream  until  two  days  before  churn¬ 
ing  in  room,  temperature  from  58  to  70. 
Before  churning  I  move  into  warmer 
room  and  stir  occasionally.  The  cream 
gets  foamy  and  light,  and  just  won’t 
separate  butterfat.  My  most  recent  ex¬

She  is  bound  to  reach  her  ear.  Very  likely  you  have  felt  much  the  same  desire,  with 
your  hands  full  of  tools  or  packages,  when  the  ears  began  to  itch.  The  aurist’s  advice 
is,  “Scratch  your  ears  with  your  elbows,”  which,  of  course,  means  keeping  pins  and 
toothpicks  and  sticks  out  of  them.  This  daughter  of  an  imported  Jersey  shows 
human  qualities  in  her  efforts  to  reach  the  center  of  the  itching. 
perience  was  eight  hours’  churning,  and 
no  butter  then.  Do  you  think  lack  of 
salt  or  feed  could  be  the  cause? 
Cumberland,  Md.  mrs.  s.  e. 
Difficult  churnings  may  result  when 
cows  are  well  advanced  in  the  period  of 
lactation.  Milk  from  strippers,  or  cows 
almost  dry  contains  a  large  prortion  of 
the  small  fat  globules.  Difficult  churning 
from  such  causes  can  usually  be  remedied 
by  ripening  the  cream  to  a  higher  degree 
of  acidity  and  churning  the  cream  at  a 
higher  temperature.  Difficult  churning 
sometimes  results  when  •  the  cream  be¬ 
comes  frothy  in  the  churn.  The  above 
remedy  will  not  always  help  this  trouble. 
It  is  usually  caused  by  an  abnormal  con¬ 
dition  in  the  cow  or  to  some  abnormal 
kind  of  fermentation.  The  following 
methods  will  cure  most  cases  of  difficult 
churning : 
1.  Determine  whether  cows  are  well 
advanced  or  not. 
2.  Determine  whether  trouble  is  due  to 
abnormal  conditions  of  the  cow  or  to 
fermentation.  Control  the  fermentation. 
Kestore  cows  to  normal  physicial  con¬ 
dition. 
3.  Ripen  the  cream  to  a  higher  degree 
of  acidity. 
4.  Skim  thicker  cream  and_  churn  at  a 
higher  temperature,  58  to  65  degrees  in 
Winter,  54  to  58  degrees  in  Summer. 
5.  When  cream  swells,  foams  or  froths 
sometimes  a  handful  of  salt  and  a  little 
water  at  70  to  SO  degrees  F.  will  over¬ 
come  the  difficulty. 
6.  Feeds  that  produce  hard  fats  and 
difficult  churning  are  cottonseed  meal, 
Timothy,  cornstalks  and  similar  .  dry 
feeds.  Linseed  meal,  gluten  feed,  succu¬ 
lents,  as  and  roots  (carrots  and 
beets)  tend  to  overcome  the  condition.

Ration  for  Heifers 
What  could  1  feed  my  heifers?  They 
are  all  Springers.  We  have  good  hay, 
but  what  kind  of  grains  would  be  best? 
Holmes,  N.  Y.  g.  r. 
For.  heifers  of  good  size  that  are  spring¬ 
ing  with  their  first  calves  I  should  use 
a  simple  grain  mixture  consisting  of  30 
lbs.  ground  oats,  30  lbs.  cornmeaL  20  lbs. 
wheat  bran,  20  lbs.  linseed  meal.  You 
can  multiply  these  factors  by  10,  which 
will  provide  a  1,000-lb.  batch  of  feed. 
This  combination  of  ingredients,  fed  in 
conjunction  with  legume  hay  and  a  re¬ 
stricted  amount  of  silage,  will  enable  the 
heifers  to  gain  in  flesh  and  be-  in  good 
condition  at  calving  time.  Do  not  stint 
the  amount  of  grain  fed,  but  if  the.  heifers 
weigh  1,000  lbs.,  then  I  should  feed  them 
7  or  8  lbs.  of  this  grain  mixture  per  day 
and  all  of  the  roughage  that  they,  would 
consume.  Any  unnatural  flfesh  that  may 
be  accumulated  during  this  period  will 
melt  off  when  the  heifers'  coiiie  in  ‘milk, 
and  they  will  be  all  the  better  for  the 
assemblage  of  this  added  flesh  anti  inten¬ 
sified  vigor.  F.  C.  M.
