The Guernsey, one of the favorite
dairy breeds of today, originated
from an admixture of the blood of
the cattle -from Normandy and
Hrlttan'y. They were developed on
the Island of Guernsey, and during
the eighteenth century when intro-
duced into this country thfeir merits
were immediately recognized by lov-
ers of dairy cattle. As a result
Guernseys were quickly introduced
Into private dairies for the produc-
tion of fanny milk and cream owing
to its high color and test. Tho bull
shown is a line specimen of tho
Guernsey breed.
kernels and flonts at a good height in
the buttermilk. If the butter is over-
churned it will contain too much mois-
ture and will not. be so good for use.
The butter should be washed twice in
pure water at the same temperature
of the buttermilk, then salted at the
rate of one ounce of salt to one pound
of butter. Work the butter thoroughly
to distribute the salt evenly.
It is of importance that the churn re-
ceives special care. After churning
rinse the churn with lukewarm water,
then scalding hot water. If the churn
is rinsed with freshly slacked lime aft-
er washing it can be kept In good
sweet condition. When ready for use
again put in some warm water, and
the lime will readily come off, and the
churn will be in much bettor shape to
receive the following churning.—W. A.
Barr, Kansas Agricultural College.
When to Dry Off a Cow.
Cows that go dry of their own ac-
cord are generally unprofitable for dai-
ry purposes. They should be dry six
or eight weeks before calving, but
they should be made to dry off. A
good cow should be giving at least six-
teen pounds of milk per day when the
drying process is begun.
Ten weeks before calving cut off nl!
cake and meal from the cow and If in
winter roots or silage. After reducing
the feed for a week milk her only
once a day for a week and the next
week every other day. Then stop, for
If milking is continued the cow is
bound to respond. Sometimes two or
three days after milking has been en-
tirely stopped it may happen that the
udder will cake a little. In this case
milk a little, but generally nothing of
this sort occurs. Six weeks previous
to calving the cow should be quite
dry. Farm and Fireside. .

With Car* a Fine Article Can Be Pro-
duced.
Tlie making of good butter begins
with tho milking of the cow. The
milking must nut be dune near a hog-
pen or where there are other undesir-
able odors, for mill: will absorb flavors
and odors quicker than any other sub-
stunce. The udder of the cow should
he wiped with a damp cloth before
milking, for this will keep loose hairs
nnd bacteria from falling into the pail.
Do not wipe the udder with a dry
hand, for this will set free hair and
bacteria that will settle in the pail
while milking. These bacteria nnd bat.
odors make the butter poor. By using
a little cure this source of danger can
be avoided.
The cream from which butter is to
be made must be properly ripened or
soured before it is churned. During
ripening the cream should be stirred
several limes to keep tbo flit and bac-
teria evenly distributed so uniform
souring will follow. When the cream
hns a mild but distinctly sour taste
and a glossy, brittle appearance it is
then ready to churn.
The chief difficulties in home butter-
making come from improper churning
temperatures, nnd more often the tem-
perature is too high rather than too
low.
The way to correct this mistake is to
get a floating dairy thermometer that
is correctly graduated. This can be
got for 25 cents from any creamery
SUDDlv house If nhnnM ho placed in
the cream. As soon as the cream has
reached the proper temperature—50 de-
vices— churning can begin. When the
temperature is too high the butter will
come in soft lumps and have a greasy
appearance and contain a good doul ol
buttermilk, which causes it to keep
very poorly and soon become strong.
Tho time to stop churning can be told
when the butter forms irregular shaped
granules a little larger than wheat
Values in San Jose
Lots are Certain to increase.
Now that the street car line between San Antonio and San Jose is in operation
every doubt is removed concerning the increase in the value of these lots. The cars
were in operation last Sunday for the first time am! over seven hundred people rode out
to San Jose to look the town over and consider these lots as an investment.
The Terrell Hot Weil is the most valuable mineral water that has ever been dis-
covered. It has actually cured people who have tried numbers of other mineral waters
and failed to find relief. With this well flowing twenty four hours a day it is impossible
for values in San Jose to stand still. There is only one conclusion ami that is that values
will increase—how much, no one can say.
