USE FOUND FOR BUTTERMILK Utilization of Large Quantities of Hitherto Waste Product C"U6e8 Stir in Wisconsin. In a recent bulletin from the Wis ;onsin experiment station the making of cheese from buttermilk is pretty fully described, says Hoard's Dairy men. This caused somewhat of a stir in the dairy world, and since it re sults in the utilization of large quan tities of buttermilk wasted every year it is well worthy of consideration. It makes a very acceptable cheese sand wich, and the profit in the enterprise will depend entirely upon whether or not a steady market can be developed for it. Being a perishable product, very much like cottage cheese, it will keep only a few days. The fact of the matter is there is very little dif ference between buttermilk cheese and cottage cheese, except that the former has a buttermilk flavor. Packing and selling this cheese re quires special attention, since the pub lic is not familiar with the product, It may be shipped in butter tubs and retailed in paper pails or other small packages. It will keep for a week or ten dayB at a temperature of 60 to 60 degrees, but it can be kept longer if the temperature is lowered to 32 degrees or below. It has been sold at three to five cents a pound at the factory and retailed at 7 to 12^ cent?. If color is desired this may be se cured by adding cheese coloring, the same as used in cheddar cheese. The making of this buttermilk cheese ls inexpensive, as the drainage racks, syphons, etc., can be construct ed by almost anyone. When only a very small amount is desired the ordi nary utensils of a creamery can be utilized. MILK COOLER WITHOUT ICE Evaporation of Water From Pan Will Keep Place Cool-Not Hard to Put Together. To make a milk cooler like the one illustrated get four narrow pieces ol plank four feet long for legs, and set these at any distance apart you wish, writes Dovie Whatley of Sealey, Tex., in the Missouri Valley Farmer. Next get three boards to use for shelves. Let the bottom shelf be larger than the second and the second larger than the first. Set a pan of water on the top shelf and drive a nail in each An Iceless Milk Cooler. post on top. Put a thin cloth around the cooler BO the end dips down inte the water and fasten to the nails. Th? cloth will drink up the water from the pan and the evaporation will keer. the inner space cool. Set the cooler in a tub to catch water as it soaks through. A change of pasture is good for both cows and pasture. Early morning is the time to make the best job of churning in hot wea ther. Cows that are not kept in milk well up to calving time never attain theil best. The cow with a good appetite is s better producer than the one that if finicky." The only object of working ls tc distribute the salt evenly and compact the butter. Wheat bran and linseed meal make the best combinations to give a fresh ening cow. Harvest goes on the year around in the dairy business. Something tc sell every day. Cream should be churned at as lov, temperature as possible nnd have the butter come in thirty minutes. A large udder is not always to bc trusted as a sure sign of a good milker. Better see the milk in the pail. A good pasture lot near the barn where the cows may graze at night will keep up the milk flow during the hot months. If native pasture does not supply ough grass it will pay well to put a succession of soiling crops in these Io's or fields. Regular careful milking permanent improves the animal as a milk producer, aside from directly increas ing the milk flow. It is well to fight shy of the dairy cow that is offered for sale cheap these days. At best she is probably good only for beef. One way of keeping dirt, flies, etc., from dropping into the pail while milking is to cover the pail with clean cheesecloth and milk through it. The next time a cow gives blocfjr milk give her a dose of Epsom sal._-, bathe her udder in warm water and rub with camphorated lard. ThiB will tilca curt the troubla. DAIRY HOUSE IS CONVENIENT, Walls and Floor of Sanitary Building. Should Be of Reinforced Con crete-Cost ls Small. Every dairyman selling milk to av creamery or cheese factory or city trade, or making dalry butter on his farm, should have a. sanitary dairy house. This building should be separ rate from the stable and other build ings on the farm and should be well Sanitary Dalry House. supplied -with water. Milk for airy: purpose must be kept In a clean, well ventilated place. Solid concrete dalry houses, such as are found on the large dairy farms, are to be recommended. A building 12 by 14 feet is large enough for a. herd of twenty to twenty-five cows. The accompanying floor plan, from the Dairy Farmer, Illustrates a very convenient farmers' dairy house. The size of the rooms may be varied io suit the individual needs. ? A concrete tank near the pump makes cooling of the milk convenient. The separator should" be located jin the same room. A room provided wl?n a sink and rack can be located at unb end of the building. This roeta should, be used exclusively for washing and. drying cans and bottles. A room wl$h shelves suitable for storing .milk should be partitioned off from the op posite end of the building. The walls and floor of the. dairy house should be of solid reinforced concrete. The roof can be roofing paper or shingles. The cost cf such a building need not exceed $185, varying according" to the size ef the herd. NOVEL MILK BOTTLE-PITCHER Spout, Lid and Handle Attached in Ingenious Way and WIN Be Found Quite Convenient. Or call it a milk-pitcher-bottle, .if you like-this device of au Ohio man. Whatever you call it you must admit Its ingenuity. A spout and lid have a ser;'js of spring clips depending fr;iu the edge. These clips engage the neck of an ordinary milk bottle and fasten the spout upon it. 'A handle extends down the side. In the center of the lid is a rod which pointe at the bottom for engaging the paper stopper of the milk bottle. The spout attachment can be fastened to any Milk Bottle-Pitcher. milk bottle in a second. The little rod is thrust down into the stopper and given a twist to stick its tangs into the paper. The cover is 'then lifted off and, grasping the handle of the whole vessel, is -used as a pitcher until It is empty, when the attach ment can be removed ?and fastened to another bottle. Feeding Dalry Cows. Fill the producing cows up on clo ver hay or alfalfa hay if you can get it instead of fodder or other coarse stuff containing low food values. The scEsible dairyman does not ex pect something for nothing, and a cow cannot give a full flow of milk on feeds that do not contain sufficient milk ele ments. Oats, wheat, brpn, oil meal and shorts should supplement the clover hay. Feed some ground corn, but do not make it fhe sole concentrated ration. Raising Dairy Heifer. Raise the best heifer calves. Tho first six months or year's care of tho calf determines largely the future use fulness of the cow. Here we eau de velop th tendency to take on fat andi raia the jail Wog qualities. .
