Butter  Spoils  Rapidly 
My  cow  calved  last  May,  and  is  due 
next  May.  Since  calving  the  milk  is  all 
right,  also  the  cream,  but  the  butter  spoils 
in  three  days  after  making.  This  is  not 
due  to  anything  in  utensils,  as  everything 
has  been  tried  in  cleanliness  and  different 
♦•burns  and  conditions.  I  have  spent  most 
of  my  life  caring  for  cows,  but  cannot 
find  any  remedy  for  this.  J.  H. 
Biddlefofd,  Me.  ;  ^  ; 
,  •.  >  ’  !  / 
It  is  not  necessary  for  cream  to  be  real 
sour  before  churning.  It-  -  is  ^desirable, 
however,  to  have  it  mildly  ripened  cr 
soured,  as  it  is  believed  to  churn  more 
readily  in  that  condition.  I  am  giving 
herewith  some  of  the  accepted  rules  for 
farm  butter-making. 
See  to  it  that  you  carefully  wash  the 
butter -free  of  buttermilk.  This  can  best 
be  done  by  stopping  the  churning  process 
when-  the  butter  granules  are  like  pop¬ 
corn.  Do  not  churn  until  -the-  butter  is  in 
•  me  large  mass,  as  the  butter  incorporates 
buttermilk,  and  it  will  be  difficult  to  wash 
and  work  out.  The  buttermilk  will  later 
give  the  butter  a  sour  taste.  J.  w.  b. 
Price  for  Cream 
Will  you  give  me  price  for  cream  per 
quart  to  equal  fluid  milk  testing  about 
four  per  cent  butterfaf?  K.  W. 
West  Coxsackie,  N.  Y.  - 
If  you  ignore  extra  time,  labor  and 
equipment  required  to  produce  cream,  the 
following  prices  for  light  or  heavy  cream 
made  from  four  per  cent  milk  will  be 
equal  to  the  cun-ent  price  paid  for  fluid 
milk  :  100  lbs.  of  four  per  cent  milk  will 
yield  4  lbs.  fat:- _10  lbs.  heavy  (40  per 
cent)  cream  will  contain  4  lbs.  fat;  20 
lbs.  light  (20  per  cent)  cream  will  con¬ 
tain  4  lbs.  fat ;  100  lbs.  four  per  eept 
milk  sells  for  $3.20  as  fluid  milk— $2.80 
(three  percent)  -f  .40  (one  per  cent)  = 
$3.20  (four  percent). 
Your  100  lbs.  heavy,  therefore,  must 
net  you  $3.20.  which  is  32c  per  pound,  of 
about  65c  a  quart,  to  be  equal  to  four 
per  cent  fluid  milk. 
If  you  separate  light  cream,  it  must 
sell  at  16c  a  pound,  or  about  33c  a  quart. 
This,  of  course,- does  not  allow  for  any 
loss  of  fat  in  the  skim-milk,  and  simply 
shows  you  t^e  arithmetic  of  the  problem. 
If  you  orodui-ed  either  grade  of  cream

Milk  with  Strong  Odor 
We  have  had  quite  a  strong  smell  in 
our  milk  for  the  last  two  or  three  weeks; 
in  fact,  every  Winter  at  about  this  time 
we  have  the  same  trouble.  Can  you  give 
md  any  reason  as  to  the  cause  of  same? 
Our  barns  are  kept  perfectly  clean;  when 
cows  are  near  calving  we  strip  them  out 
and  throw  the  milk  out.  Dairy  utensils 
are  well  sterilized,  etc.  We  feed  silage 
after  milking:  cows  also  have  roughage 
and  grain.  Would  there  be  any  cause 
from  the  cows  not  being  opt  during  the 
severe  weather  for  exercise?  S.  J. 
Waterford  Conn. 
Bad  odors  and  flavors  in  milk  usually 
occur  in  Winter  due  to  these  general 
causes:  First,  the  milk  thus  affected  is 
produced  by  cows  advanced  in  lactation 
period  beyond  the  seventh  month.  Sec¬ 
ondly,  it  is  invariably  found  in  milk  from 
cows  that  are  fat  and  receiving  more  feed 
than  necessary.  Reducing  the  grain  rat- 
tion  to  the  amount  needed  by  the  cow, 
and  giving  two  or  three  doses  of  Epsom 
salts,  1  to  1%  lbs.  at  a  dose,  at  intervals 
of  three  days  usually  removes  the  abnor¬ 
mal  condition.  The  lack  of  exercise  might 
well  be  associated  with  this  latter  con¬ 
dition  of  the  cows.  J.  w.  b. 
there  would  be  some  loss  of  fat  during 
separation.  On  the  other  hand,  the  vfilue 
of,  skim-milk  retained  on  the  farm  would 
mofe  than  offset  any  loss.  If  you"  figured 
the  Valfi'e  of  this  skim-milk  you  might  be 
able  to  cut  the  price  per  quart  of  cream. 
At.  any  fate,  this  will  give  you  some  idea 
of  the  problem.  j.  w.  b.'

Capacity! 
Every  man  who  milks  cows  for  a  living 
knows  that  Capacity  and  the  ability  to 
profitably  utilize  feed  mean  the  difference 
between  profit  and  loss. 
CAPACITY  ENABLES  HOLSTEINS  - 
to  subsist  very  largely  on  home-ferown  feeds; 
to  convert  most  economically  large  amounts  of 
cheap  roughage  into  mijk  and  butter-fat;  to 
respond  readily  to  additional  grain  feed  with 
increased  production.  In  short,  to  utilize  most 
profitably  all  feed  fit  for  a  cow.

acres  of  privately  owned  forest  laud  are 
wholly  unprocted  from  fire.  On  many 
other  areas  the  protection  is  incomplete

average,  the  annual  loss  of  property  from 
forest  fires -is  $16,424,000.  Yet  a  yearly
