Potting Butter. 
The successful potting or storing of 
use 
some months hence depends for its success 
on:— 3 : 
(a) Putting down only sound, fresh 
butter. 
_ (b) The method of storage adopted. 
Really, the prime essential is that the | 
butter should be of tip top quality. . 
It should be made on up-to-date lines — 
.-—ie., churned only into small grains 
about the size of rice, and in this state 
washed four or even five times with 
plenty of cold water, changing the water 
each time.. 
This will wash out the butter-milk and 
ensure that the butter is in a condition to 
- The next point of great importance 
(says C. W. Walker-Tisdale, in the 
_ ‘Parmer and Stockbreeder’) is to dry the 
butter thoroughly by working it even 
_to excess, and so spoiling the grain—get 
the butter thoroughly dry. Prior to 
working the butter, the salt, at the rate 
of 1 oz to'each pound, must have been 
added. ; 
The receptacles for storing the. butter 
in should be glazed earthernware crocks. 
Scald these out well, and then dry and 
_ coolthem. Sprinkle a little dry salt in 
the interior, and then pack in the butter,

large head of wood on a stick, should be 
used, and the butter rammed well home 
with it. 
The butter in the crock must be in one 
solid mass. with the air excluded. 
On the top of the butter place a layer of 
acouple of inches or so of dry salt, and then 
over the surface stretch bladder or parch- 
ment, and tie up. ;

The opinion generally he'd that poor 
milk is always watered is based on fallacy.

It has always been recognised that a . 
healthy, profitable cow must be at least a 
fairly good milker,

A sun bath is good for all the pans and 
other tools and receptacles used in butter 
making; it kills the bad bacteria.

~ Many herds of dairy cattle have given 
proof that milk, meat, and early maturity 
are combined in the shorthorn breed.

The United States Department fe 
Agriculture considers that a cow: to be 
profitable should produce 6,000lbs. (2 800: 
quarts) of milk yearly wi hout being 
forced. A cow ought to produce 300]b. 
of butter yearly. ; :

Lucerne hay is one of the best foods 
for the milking herd, because it contains 
all the elements of which ‘milk is com- 
posed. In combination with silage made 
from maize, it is as good a ration for the 
dairy herd as can be provided.
