HOME TOOLS FOR BUTTER MAKING
This Equipment Can Be Bought or Made Easily.
EASY TO PRODUCE
BUTTER AT HOME
Proper Equipment Is Great Aid to
Housekeeper—Cleanliness
Is Essential.
STERILIZER IS CONVENIENCE
Product Should Never Be Touched
With the Bare Hand*-—Sanitary and
Attractive Wrapping of Much
Assistance in Marketing.
There Is no secret In making good
batt*r With proper cure and atten
tion t• • details good butter can be made
la ant home. The quality of the but
ter is dej»endent upou the Intelligent
use of equipment rather than the kind,
although suitable equipment Is tlme
bbvIiu: and lubor-saving and can be
purchased or made at nominal coat.
Milk vessels should be of high-grade
tin with all joints and seams smoothly
soldered so that there will be no crev
ices :n which dirt may acmimulute.
A convenient milk can to use is the
three-gailou shotgun can. It shouhl
have a, smooth. heavily tinned Interior
to prevent rusting and difficulty In
cieanfhg. All butter-making equipment
should le thoroughly scrubbed with a
brush In hot water containing sal soda
or washing powders. Never use a dish
cloth or soap. Inexpensive stiff fiber
scrub brushes or vegetable brushes
can be purchased at any grocery or
hardware store. After equipment is
washed it should he scalded or
steamed. A homemade sterilizer will
be found most convenient and helpful.
Never Touch With Bare Hands.
A medium-siztsl dipper strainer with
a fine-meshed gauze lias been found
to be very satisfactory. It should be
smooth and free from seams. Mutter
should not be touched or handled with
the bare hands. It Injures the quality
of the butter and is very Insanitary.
Wooden ladles can be easily whittled
from maple, ash. or poplar, or bought
at small cost. A thermometer la ab
solutely essential to successful butter
making. Controlling temperatures Is
sccetnl only to keeping equipment
clean. A floating dairy thermometer
two be ordered from any dairy supply '
company.
In making butter the salt should be
uniformly distributed and the granules
pressed together into a doer grained
maaa and the surplus water worked
out. This can be most easily accom
plished by use of a V-shaped lever
hutterworker made of one-inch mate
rial. This worker Is made of maple,
ash, or poplar, the material of which
atl wooden butter equipment Is made.
Any woods from which odors or fla
vors might be absorbed by the butter
should not be used.
Butter Worker* Convenient.
For the amount of hotter made In
moat homes a butter worker 18 Inches
long, MS Inches at the wide end and 2H
inches at the narrow eud Is a conven
ient Mae. The aide* are cut % Inches
wide and are screwed to the bottom.
The corrugated roller having six or
eight aides Is 24 Inches long. One i
end of the roller Is shaped to fit a 1
small hole made in the piece across the 1
narrow end of the worker. This end i
piece Is of a width that leaves a slot i
Just above the bottom of the worker i
which allows the water to dratu off ]
Into a pan as the roller Is pressed firm- i
ly backward and forward over the but- <
ter. The worker rests on three knobs i
or supports. The two knobs st the i
wide end are RH inches high, while ]
the knob at the narrow end Is 2H I
inches, 1
The most popular, convenient and ]
attractive butter mold is the brick- i
shaped or squore-cornered mold. This ]
mold can be made of %-lneh material, i
The mold most commonly used is 4H j
by 2H by 2% Inches. An Inch hole <
la bored through the center of the top t
and through the center of a plunger l
which fits cloaely Into the mold, i
Through the hole In the top of the
mold Is inserted the round handle I
which screws Into the hole In the <
plunger. Most satisfactory molds of <
this type can be found on the market 1
When butter is to be sold, parch
ment paper 8 by 11 Inches should al
ways be used to wrap the pound print
Also neat and attractive paper butter
cartons should be used when butter is
put on the market. It will bring a
better price if packed well.
To make the butter-making equip
ment complete, a barrel churn should
be added. The barrel churn is gen
erally recognized as the most conveni
ent and efficient kind of churn In use.
When an extra large quantity of milk
is handled it pays to use a cream sep
arator. A separator insures more and
better butter.
QUERIES FOR UNCLE
SAM’S BOYS AND GIRLS
Are you canning and using
greens growing near your home,
such as dandelion, mustard, rad
ish, turnip, or beet tops?
Are you starting for your gar
den a compost pile of waste
straw, grass, leaves and sod?
Are you keeping a few bens
to be assured of an egg supply
next winter and the use of your
table waste?
Are you, lo the cities, keep
ing any rabbits to consume
waste? They do not cackle and
crow; they lay no eggs, but are
the cheapest game meat that
can be produced.
Are you drying, for soup later
on. your left-over onions before
they sprout and shrivel?
Are you plunulng now for a
community canning and drying
plant for this summer? The de
pnrtment of agriculture will
give you specific assistance.
Cheese Easily Digested.
Contrary to opinion held by many
people, Cheddar or “storcheese is
not unusually indigestible or constipat
ing. Extensive digestion experiments
conducted by the department of agri
culture have demonstrated that more
tbyi 95 per ccut of the protelu in
cheese is digested and that 90 per cent
of its energy is available.
One person who ate cheese as the
chief source of protein and energy, eat
ing an average of 9.27 ounces daily for
more than two years, did a fair
amount of muscular work and re
mained in good health.
Mora Milk at Laos Coat
If dairying is to provide either
nre or profit. United States department
of agriculture specialists point out. the
unprofitable cow must be disposed of.
The well-bred high producer that takes
her place must bo properly and eco
nomically fed and cared for. Oow
testing associations have demonstrated
that the feed of the dairy herd can be
selected and balanced In such a way
as to decrease feed costs one-third and
at the same time Increase milk pro
duction.
CULTIVATION IS GREAT NEED
It Keeps Weeds Dawn and Allows Air
to Rasa through Soil—Hava
Raka and Hoe Handy.
CPr*gu«t by t>* T'nMed State* Deport
ment of -vgrtculture.)
A well cultivated garden produces
the best crops, both quality and quan
tity considered. In fact garden crops
will not give good results unless the
soil Is kept cultivated. Cultivation Is
not intended primarily to kill weeds,
although this Is Important, but to
loosen the surface and let air Into the
soil so as to provide a more congenial
environment for the roots of the
plants. Plants In soil which Is too wet
tuns yellow and If not relieved by
proper cultivation and drainage, lan
guish and die. Too much water In
the soli dilutes the soil solution. Im-
pedes the formation of nitrate, de
stroys desirable soli organisms and
permits the development of undesir
able ones.
j 801 l which has been too wet. If allow
ed to dry and bake, offers an environ
ment as uncongenial for plant** as when
too wet. Either extreme, therefore,
should be guarded against.
If the home garden Is located near
the kitchen door, the hoe and rake
can be kept conveniently near so that
odd moments can be spent In cultivat
ing.
Give the Boys
a Fair Chance
By J. Frank Daws
of The Vigilantes.
Suppose you had a eon—a boy be
tween twenty-one and thirty-one
' years old. Perhaps you have.
And suppose a trustworthy doctor
' told you the boy was not in good
'health —that be was below par—that
he was irrevocably handicapped in
: his fight with life.
And suppose the doctor told you the
' illness might have been prevented if
you bad taken the right steps and
that he added- ‘‘lt is probably too
. late to cure this boy. but I can teil
you how* to prevent these younger
\ sons of yours from following in his
footsteps. You have it in your power
to see that your other boys have a
i far better chance for health, and the
; recipe is one that will not only give
‘them this chance but they will enjoy
the treatment, which will seem to
. them like a boyish game.”
What would you say and do?
Would you give those younger sons
their fair chance, or would you b«
optimistic and go on in the same old
way, trusting to Providence or luck?
Well, all this has happened, not to
your son. perhaps, but to our sons.
We have just been startled by the
discovery that one-quarter of our
! young men between the ages of twen
ty-one and thirty-one cannot pass the
not too strict tests of the National
army.
One-quarter of the t*oy.« drafted suf
fer from physical disability.
One-quarter of the young men
called by lot from all the young men
of those ages (which means a fair
average of the youth of the country',
of all classes-) physically unsound to
an extent that means not only inca
pacity to be a soldier but incapacity*
to be a healthy citizen.
One-quarter of all our youth handi
capped for the task of living a useful
and successful life.
At the same moment that we learn
this disturbing fact we also receive
an object lesson as to its remedy.
Immediately, if we are the shrewd,
hard-headed. clear-thinking people
that we like to rhink we are, we grasp
the remedy. Immediately we unite
to do the obvious thing that shall
make our younger boys stronger than
these older ones.
Do we?
We do not. At least, not all of us
do. Some of us even oppose the use
of the remedy, jnst as ignorant peo
ple. in time of plague, fight the sav
ing ministrations of the sanitary*
squads.
I sat opposite a youth of twenty
two. from a New England town, a few
evenings ago. and listened while he
talked about his work and play in the
big army camp that is located on the
border of the city where I live. He
touched upon the matter of health in
cidentally. hardly aware that he was
doing so.
At home he had always considered
himself in fairly good condition, he
said. True, he caught cold pretty
easily, and was subject. Tn the winter,
to sore throat. And quite a few
things to eat didn't agree with him—
imagine a boy of twenty-two with
even incipient dyspepsia! And he
had always been rather thin; His
mother hated to see him drafted, be
cause she feared he »»• not robust
enough to stand the strain.
He mentioned these th ngs as pass
ing comment in connectinn with the
information that he had outgrown his
uniform, having gained twenty-eight
pounds during the five u>« uihs he had
been in the army. Also be said he
could eat anything now. and be hadn't
had a cough, or a sore throat, or even
a slight cold, this past winter.
This youth's military service has al
ready given him perfect health. in ad
dition to training and discipline that
will be invaluable to him in the com
ing years. Also, he has t’aveled quite
widely, and is a broade* uiinded citi
ben at twenty-two than he would have
been at fifty if he had nev*r left home.
Where is our boasted American
common-sense that some of us do n->t
want to take the step tfcai will give
this boon of better hedUi . better dis
cipline to fit them for th* problems of
life, and greater breadth ot vxw, u
all our young men?
Universal training wr.uld do lt-~
phvsical and mental development th a
the school years and military traiuii <
for a year or so at the time when tl 3
boy has arrived at the proper age f» r
it to do him the most good
That such training will hlso pre
vent us from ever again being caug t
sham*'fully unprepared by a treac
erous enemy Is of vital important .
but if there should neve- again be i
war in all the w’orld and if. from no -
until Dooms-day, the United Stut %
cun happily remain at peace, it at t
won id be a fairly important thing *
have made stronger and better rat i
out of our boys.
And one-quarter of our youcg mi i
will not be physically unlit in lime *
peace, either,
