The distinction is sometimes disregarded by the makers of dairy butter, but it is one they have no right to ignore. To make-good butter in winter it is essential that the cream should not stand -too long before being churned. The temperature of the cream when placed In the churn should not be lower than sixty degrees nor higher than sixty-two degrees.

Sixty degrees when the churn is warmed by hot water in the winter or cooled in the summer, is the proper temperature, and the result will be satisfactory. At the recent Agricultural Congress held at Washington, under the supervision of Dr. Loring, Commissioner of Agriculture, Prof. I. R.

The defects in butter-making, that by his experience he had sought to remedy, were uncleanliness in manufacture, too much acid in cream, too much caseine matter in a decomposed state left in the butter and too much friction in handling it- Odors from the animal should be carefully avoided and clean stables were a positive necessity.
