Explained By
Extension Agent
For best quality sweet cream
butter, cream should test about
30 per cent butterfat. This means
it is rich enough for one gallon
to yield aproximately three pounds
of butter, explains Gladys Martin,
home dairy specialist for the A.
and M. College Extension Service.
While some people prefer the
more pronounced flavor of butter
made from slightly sour cream,
most seem to prefer sweet cream
butter, she observes. At this time
of year the cream should be cool

Thermometers Hit
High Marks Monday
According to J. E. Roberts, the
thermometers of the Main Station
Agronomy Farm at College, -hit
103 degrees on both Monday and
Tuesday. This sets a high mark
for the year.
The thermometer reached its
highest mark last year when in
July it soared to 106 degrees. Of
all recorded years the highest for
this area was 111 which also came
during the month of July.
ed and kept at 50 degrees M. or
below, the specialist says.
Op' many farms/ homemakers
churn only two or three times a
week and use sour cream. When
this is the practice each day the
cream should be placed in one con
tainer and thoroughly mixed, then
warmed slowly to a temperature
of from 65 to 75 degrees F. Miss
Martin explains that this allows
the cream to ripen uniformly. The
cream should stand at this ripen
ing temperature until it thickens,
assumes a glossy appearance, and
is mildly sour. Then it should be
cooled quickly to churning temper
ature for at least two hours be
fore churning is begun.
In summer proper churning tem
perature varies between 50 and 60
degrees F. while in the winter be
tween 55 and 65 degrees usually
is satisfactory. At the proper tem
perature only about 25 to 30 min
utes of churning are required for
the butter granules to be firm
without becoming hard. A dairy
thermometer, which is inexpen
sive, offers the only sure way of
checking the cream temperature.
Miss Martin says the churfr
should be filled only one-third to
one-half full of cream. Churning
should continue until the granules
are the size of a grain of corn.
Then the buttermilk should be
removed from the churn. The
butter should be washed with the
same amount of water as there
was buttermilk. It should be at
about the same temperature the
cream was in the beginning. Usual
ly three washings are required.
Buttermilk should never be “work
ed” out.
Cattle Course To
Finish Tomorrow
Saturday the six-week training
course given by the Animal Hus
bandry Department under the sup
ervision of Dr. J. C. Miller will
end.
Dealing with beef cattle prob
lems for a number of vocational
agriculture teachers, classes in
classroom and laboratory work
have been held for eight hours
each Saturday.
Scheduled subjects have been
breeds and breeding, selection of
breeding stock, wintering problems,
fattening catle for market, para
sites and diseases.
The course is equivalent to one
given regular college students with
three hours a week over a college
semester. Those enrolled in the
course have taken it as partial
fulfillment of requirements toward
their master’s degrees in agricul
tural education.
