INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. How Successfal Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. Flavor in Butter, N this important subject H. Hay- ward of the Penn- sylvania Dairy school says: The annual production of butter in the United States is about 1,375,000,000 pounds. The larger part of this is put on the market and sold upon its merits, bringing from 10 to 75 cents per pound. The reason why butter varies so markedly in its market value is almost entirely owing to the difference in its favor. Flavor in butter is that quality which affects the taste, and it is the presence or absence of flavor that commends or condemns the butter to the consumer. Generally speaking, the principal sources of but- ter flavor are two, namely, the condi- tions under which the milk is secreted and drawn from the cow, and the con- ditions to which the milk is subjected after it is drawn and before it is man- ufactured into butter. It is generally conceded (although some experiments have proved otherwise) that as a cow advances in her period of lactation the flavor of the butter she produces dete- riorates. Why this is so the writer is not advised, but it is a fact, however, that as a cow approaches parturition the milk becomes more or less abnor- mal in that the milk serum becomes more viscous, the fat globules smaller, and the milk creams less exhaustively and churns with more difficulty. The flavor of the butter is not necessarily bad, but there is a decided lack of that fine, quick, aromatic odor which the best markets demand and are willing to pay for. The difference in flavor between fresh cows and strippers is so marked that some dairymen will not pay as much per 100 pounds for milk from a herd where most of the cows are well advanced in their period of lactation, even though it be richer in fat, as they will for milk from a herd the most of which are fresh cows. An- other condition which affects the flavor of butter before the milk is drawn is the kind and condition of the food the cow is fed upon. As important as this is, it is difficult, with our present knowledge, to state definitely what foods should or should not be fed. Such food as silage, potatoes, turnips, If sound, are safely fed with modera- tion, if care is taken not to feed them immediately before milking. Consid- erable fault has been found during the present year with the use of gluten and linseed meals, and if fed it should be with considerable care and watchful- ness. There is no question but that of the many byproducts on our mar- kets there are some that will affect the butter produced from them adversely. The period of lactation and the food of the cow do not play as important a part in butter flavor, generally speak- ing, as the conditions under which the milk is cared for after it is drawn from the cow. These, too, may be divided into two general heads. First, the con- ditions which surround the milk or cream before it is manufactured into butter, and, second, the kind of bac- teria favorable or unfavorable that ripens the cream. While milk or cream is cooling to the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere it is giving off its own odors, and dees not take up others, but when it has reached a con- stant temperature it begins to absorb any odors that may ke present from any source, and if these are unpleasant, as they are quite apt to be, the flavor of the butter will be affected accord- ngly. Hence the importance of keep- ing milk and cream in a separate, clean and well ventilated room and en- tirely away from anything like meats, cooking or decaying vegetables, the laundry, etc. One of the most inter- esting phases of butter making is the 2ffect of different bacteria upon the flavor. The study of bacteria in this sonnection has engaged, and is still engaging, the attention of leading in- vestigators in this and foreign coun- ‘ries. Although a favorable kind of bacteria is absolutely essential in the tipening of cream for the production of the finest flavored butter, so far ex- periments in this country have shown that a starter made from selected skim- milk will probably give as uniformly good results as the use of the expensive sommercial butter cultures that are advertised on the market as improving the flavor of butter. Standard Varieties of Chickens. Dominique Leghorns are not so gen- arally known. Their color is much ‘ike that of the American Dominique and Barred Plymouth Rock, and is what is known as “Cuckoo” by English oreeders. The body color is grayish white, each feather regularly crossed with parallel bars of blue black, pro- jucing the effect of a bluish-tinged plumage. The color is the same throughout. The ground color of each ‘eather is a clear, light, bluish gray. (he shanks and toes are bright yellow ind eyes bright red in color. Silver Duckwing Leghorns are not generally bred in this country, though they are trequently seen in showrooms. They are considered as profitable as any of the other Leghorn varieties, and in point of beauty they are very interest- img and fascinating. They take the aame “Duckwing” from the similarity of the steel-blue wing bar to that of the Mallard or Wild Duck, the name veing first given to a variety of games —the Silver Duckwing Game. The tackle and saddle feathers of a Silver 4 yp { Duckwing Leghorn cock are pure sil- | very white, without the slightest straw or creamy tinge, with a narrow black stripe along the center of the lower hackle feathers. Back, saddle, wing bow and wing bay pure white; breast, under parts, wing bar, and tail, dense lustrous black.- The Silver Duckwing Leghorn hen has a silvery gray hackle with a narrow black stripe through the center of each feather. The breast is light salmon, shading off to gray toward the sides; the body color when viewed at a short distance should ap- pear gray with a faint bluish tint all over. A tendency to ruddy gray, either in ground color or pencil, is ob- jectionable. The tail is black or dark brown, except the two upper feathers, which are light gray. The penciling or markings are irregular or wavy. ‘The White Leghorn, like the brown, is the more generally bred of the Leghorn varieties. It is, no doubt, the most advantageous variety to breed for pro- fit, and the easiest to raise on the farm. Being of one color in plumage, they are more successfully raised and cared for than the parti-colored varieties. Their plumage is pure white through- out, the feathers other than white will disqualify them. It has been a matter BUFF LEGHORN COCKEREL. of much speculation as to which varie- ty of Leghorns is most prolific in egg production. This is a difficult question to properly adjust to the satisfaction of the specialty breeders, Dut from a conservative standpoint it is generally considered that the whites have slight- ly the advantage over the others, Phe- nomenal individual egg records have been made by most all the varieties, but the above opinion is advanced from the general results obtained from vari- ous sources. There are sub-varieties in Brown and White Leghorns—the Rose-comb Brown and the Rose-comb White. The only distinguishing dif- ference between the last named and the other varieties is in the comb. The Rose-comb White and Rose-comb Brown Leghorns have a small rose comb square in front, firm and even upon the head, tapering evenly from front to rear, without inclining to one side, the top comparatively flat and covered with small points or corruga- tions, terminating in a well developed FEATHERS OF BROWN LEGHORNS. spike in the rear. There is no stand- ard weight given for Leghorns, Sheep as Sailors, Sheep make good sailors. Their hab- it of sticking close together probably enables them to acquire sea-legs soonel than other animals. They become quite tame after a short experience on boaré ship. Once in Genoa we were supplied with one of the most extraordinary- looking animals of the breed I have ever set my eyes on. His horns were twisted nearly twice round, and his nose was a real “Wellington.” He was at home on board in a few hours afte his arrival, and continued to enlarge the circle of his friends by making some three or four voyages with me tc India. In the matter of food he was by no means particular. Pea soup was his favorite dish. Hot potatoes or any vegetable he took a fancy to were eas- ily obtainable. He had but to watch the sailor who carried these things from the galley to the fo’c’sle, and by putting him until he rolled over o1 threw the contents of the dish to him he succeeded in getting the desired dainties. He beeame latterly the ter- ror of the sailors’ lives at meal hours, but his outrageous conduct having been the result of their own teaching, they never complained. His evil practices, however, became so great that I had though with some regret, to close his eareer as @ shipmate.—Captain Johz Bain. ‘Whenever sweet potatoes are bruised in the milk the milk will sour and the potato will rot.
