AMOUNT OF BUTT1R II MILK.
With the view of learning the amount of
butter to be obtained from a given quantity
of milk, I have recently tried the follow
ing experiment at my creamery in Onon
dago County, N. Y., where I received
milk from three hundred cows.
The milk delivered at the factory on
Saturday evening, July, 30th, and Sun
day morning July 31st, amounting to
572!) pounds, as soon as received, was
run into deep cooler pails, and these were
set into the tank of spring water. The
temperature of this water is maintained at
a uniform temperature of 53 degrees by
the introduction of an Inch stream of
water from the the spring.
In this vat the pails remaned for about
thirty hours, when they were removed in
order that, by a free exposure to the at
mosphere, the milk might be soured. It
might produce a better result if the paiie
hi)u been allowed to remain Immersed in
the water until the milk became loppered,
but wo feared that so long an exposure of
the milk and cream to such a degree of
cold would cause a bitterness of flavor to
the cream and the butter made therefrom.
When about forty-eight hours old, the
milk having soured and thickened, the
cream was removed and kept until the
next day. On Wednesday churning was
done in large dash churns operated by
steam power. From this 5729 pounds of
milk there was produced 232 pounds of
butter. This shows an advantage of 24
09-100 pounds of milk being required for
a pound of butter, very closely meeting
the opinion generally held, that two and a
half times as much milk is used in making
a pound of butter as in producing a pound
of Cheese. At the season of the year
above named a yield of one pound of
curd cheese from ten pounds of milk is
very satisfactory. This would have pro
duced 573 pounds of cured cheese from the
milk used in this experiment, which gave
me 232 pounds of butter.
Cheese at that time was worth 14 cents
a pound. Hutter to pay as well as cheese
at this price, would need to sell at fully 35
cents a pound, allowing that the material
used in making and packing butter cost
one half cent per pound more than those
required for cheese.
From this loppemt milk, which in my
case, went to»the pigs, there is sometimes
made a kind of cheese used mainly by the
German Jews. The curd is heated to a
high temperature, is not salted, but is
placed in small bags holding about one
half a pound, and subjected to moderate
and long continued pressure. When re
moved from this pressure, the cheese is
cone shaped, two sides being flattened,
salt is rubbed upon tho outside and the
curing is done in a cool damp place, as is
the case with Limburg cheese. There is
small demand for this kind of cheese, and
if there was a large demand, the preju
dice of the Jews will allow them to eat
only that which Jewish hands have made.
—Gardner B. Weeks, Syracuse, if, Y. in
Western Rural.
A HEALTHY BREAD.
The most economical and best bread, es
pecially iu cold weather, when a hot fire is
constantly kept, is what is sometimes called
gems or unleaven biscuit. For this pur
pose a group of cast-iron pans or cups two
and one half by three one naif inches each,
all made in one casting, is used. These
pans arc set on the top of a hot stoVe and al
lowed to becoine.almost smoking hot when
buttered for use. Then with cold water
and milk, half-and-half, or with cold water
alone, and the colder the better, mix and
stir quickly with n stiff spoon as much
Graham or unbolu I wheat-meal as will
make a stiff batter or thinnish mush; and
when the pans are hot, fill them quickly
with the thin dough and let them stand a
minute on the stove before putting into a
very hot oven, where they should remain
twenty or twenty-live minutes, until done.
If the mixture be neither too thin nor too
stiff', and the pans and oven be hot, you
will have twelve as light and wholesome
biscuits as any epicure could wish to eat.
They can be eaten smoking warm from the
oven, as the contain no poisonous chemical
elements like yeast bread, which requires
cooling to be rid of. They are good cold,
or may warmed in a steam kettle. Any
body, however unskilled in cooking, can
learn to make these light and nice every
time. Nice, iresh wheat-meal, very cold
wetting, quickly done, with a very hot
place to bake them, will insure the best of
“luck” always. These, like all other
Graham bread, should be fresh every dav.
For growing children, and those people
who work or think, and especially students
and sedentary persons, there is no other
bread, and scnrcly any other single article
of food, that equals it. Let the poor who
cannot afford to lose 14 per cent, of the grain
in cast-off bran; let those whose bones and
muscles are small, tending to rickets and
spiual curvature ; let invalids and dyspejv
tics trv it and they will never go back to
superfine bread simply because it looks
white and nice, and, when dry, is more
pleasant to the mouth than the brown.—
