Cement  Floors  for  Cattle 
What  is  your  opinion  of  cement  floors 
for  cows  to  stand  on?  I  have  to  put  in 
new  platform,  and  can  do  it  cheaper  with 
cement  than  I  can  with  planks.  Would 
it  be  all  right  for  horses?  n.  G.  p. 
Moosup,  Conn. 
Concrete  platforms  for  cattle  are  in 
universal  use  and  are  satisfactory,  though 
there  may  be  some  question  as  to  whether 
they  are  as  comfortable  for  cows  to  lie 
upon  as  planks  or  some  of  the  prepared, 
but  more  expensive,  stable  floorings.  They 
are  easily  kept  clean,  are  permanent  and, 
when  properly  bedded,  sufficiently  warm 
and  healthful.  Few  modern  stables  have 
anything  else,  save,  as  above  noted,  those 
stables  that  are  built  to  give  the  utmost 
in  comfort,  with  little  regard  for  ex¬ 
pense. 
Concrete  is  not  as  popular  for  horse 
stables,  these  usually  having  at  least  a 
plank  covering  over  the  stone.  Horses 
are  iron  shod  and  more  likely  to  slip 
upon  concrete,  and  the  unyielding  sur¬ 
face  is  probably  not  as  conducive  to  the 
comfort  and  welfare  of  their  feet  as  is 
one  of  plank  or  tamped  clay.  It  is  of 
considerable  more  importance  that  the 
feet  of  a  horse  be  kept  in  the  best  pos¬ 
sible  condition  than  that  cattle  have  the 
same  attention.  m.  b.  d. 
White  Specks  in  Butter 
I  am  writing  to  help  M.  K.  T.  keep  the 
whitecaps  out  of  the  butter  (page  982). 
As  the  milk  is  set  in  pans  I  think  if  she 
skims  from  six  to  12  hours  earlier  than 
she  now  does  and  keeps  the  cream  thor¬ 
oughly  stirred  before  churning,  she  will 
find  that  the  trouble  may  be  avoided.  I 
keep  my  milk  in  pans  and  had  the  same 
trouble  until  an  older  dairywoman  than 
myself  told  me  this.  One  can  tell  by 
giving  the  pan  a  very  slight  turn  when 
these  whitecaps  are  forming  in  the  cream, 
and  thus  tell  how  long  the  cream  should 
be  allowed  to  stand  before  skimming.  It 
seems  to  me  this  is  easier  than  the  strain¬ 
ing  mentioned,  and  there  is  no  difference 
in  the  amount  of  cream  skimmed.  In 
fact,  there  is  more,  for  all  that  would 
make  the  whitecaps  will  make  butter.
