Extreme care should be taken to see that butter, cheese, milk, cream and cottage cheese are given the same sanitary care In the home that Is given to the milk on the producing dairy and In the manufacturing and. distributing plants. Some people do not realize that only a slight contam ination from other food, through di rect contact or through odors, will often render dairy products unsavory, and even entirely unsatisfactory for human use. Butter Is perhaps the most suscep tible of all dairy products to 'foreign' odors and tastes. One onion may contaminate a pound of butter, giv ing It a decided 'wild onion' flavor. Often times complaints are made to creamerv-men that their butter is be ing churned from cream produced uy cattle which are eating wild onion tops In their forage. The fact that these complaints come In moot often when cattle are not on pasture but when onions are a common part of the winter diet, indicates where the onion flavor comes from, Watermelon and cantaloupe, ham, fish or any other highly flavorea foodjhcadi wnlch was about 2, 700.000 head nroduct will also affect the taste of butter. Milk is likewise suoject to off flavors if left in open vessels or with the cap left off the bottle. Cheese and cottage cheese also absorb various tastes if exposed to nigmy tainted atmospheres. Butter-makers recommend that only liberal allowance of butter for one meal be cut from a pound print and that the balance be returned to Its carton or placed In a covered dish in cool, preieraoiy icea, oox or cup board. Butter which has been ex-, posed to the air foe nny long period should be used in coosing or short- ening although only the hignest quai- , ity butter can impart tne aesirea true butter flavor. Milk bottles should be placed under a full stream from the cold water j faucet Immediately upon being ! brought into the kitchen and when) the milk is poured the cap should be returned to the bottle. By doing this, much of the chance for odor contam ination is removed. Cheese will keep longer and In much better condition ir wrapped In oiled paper with the paper pressed close against the freshly cut sides. If there is tendency to dry out rapidly a damp cloth may be wrapped about the cheese. Cottage cheese should be kept In a closely fitted covered dish In a cool place. An unusual and delicious combina tion for a salad is pineapple with fresh plums. It Is sure to please every member of the family. Pineapple and PI am Kalad 6 slices of pineapple, 8 plums. , 1 pkg. cream cheese. yA cup chopped nuts. 2 tbtspns. cream. 2 tblspns. mayonnaise. Halve plums and remove stones.

To Mother's Home Mrs. Marcla Phy Spencer, who un derwent an appendix operation at, Hot Lake a couple of weeks ago re turned to the home of her mothec Mrs. Edith Phy, at Union, Friday. She will spend a few days there before re turning, with her young daughter, to her home In Denver. - Her sister, Miss Margaret Phy, who has bIbo been visuiiiK at Union, has returned to her work on the campus at Eugene. Pastui This Is a subject to which authori ties have been giving a great deal of t nought and attention, ana many ex periments have been made. County agent, Harry u. Avery reports xnac orchard grass, meadow - fescue, tall meadow oat glass, alslke clover and Ladino clover make a very satisfac tory dairy pasture on 60 acres seeded by N. K. West in 1939. Last Bprlng he seeded an additional 60 acres to the same mixture. Using the same mixture as west but adding brome grass, yellow blos som sweet clover and Grimm alfalfa, Clyde McKenzloJ seeded a 30-acre field to pasture, a nursery pioc was oiso planted with a row of each grass seeded separately. Mr. McKenzie ex pects in this way to be ame to better observe the growth of .tne cuiierent grasses. Forty-fold wheat and sweet clover make a good pasture tne urst year, according to J. D. Dobbin, who seeded 35 acres of this mixture last spring. CHICAGO LIVESTOCK CHICAGO. AUg. 31 (P) Hogs 18. 000; moderately active. 5 4.. 10c higher; 180-220 lbs. 4.60t(4.00; top 4.65.

WESTERN SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETINGS, FALL, 1932 , Combined shipments of sheep and lambs from 13 western sheep states, durlng the last four months of 1932 will be considerably smaller than dur ing the last four months of 1931, ac cording to the full marketing report of the department of agriculture. Bo cause of the financial situation con fronting the western sheep Industry, indications as to the volume of mar ketings this year are less certain than in moat recent years. It appears like ly, however, that the decrease In west, ern lamb marketings this fall will bej loan thoti -thn Hnoraacn l-n tha 1 0il I less than the decrease In the 1932 late lamb crop in the western states due to the prospective reduction in the proportion of ewe lambs to be re. talned for flock replacements. The 1932 lamb crop In the 13 west ern states was estimated at 18,065,000 or 13 per cent smaller than the 1931 crop. Excluding Texas, where the es timated lamb crop was a little larger this year than last, the decrease In the other 12 states amounted to about 15 per cent.

Their continued feeding may be positively harmful. "Compounds of calcium and phos phorus which are suitable for feed ing as mineral supplements, all of which are firmly ground, may be pur chased at one to three cents a pound. Complex mixtures usually sell at much higher prices than this. The complex products In many cases are worth leas than mixtures of calcium and phosphorus compounds, because the percentage of needed minerals Is lowered by Including worthless sub stances which only exert a diluting Influence, "Many stockmen are guilty of ovor- enthuslasm in recommending miner als for livestock, working on the the ory that If small quantities are help ful, large doses can do no harm.

(Special) The first official act of the 1033 Oregon State Fair was completed here ThurBday, full month before the gates open September 20. Butter was the cause of it. Expert butter Judges tasted and tastea smellcd, and otherwise examined the product of the most smiiea nutter makers. Few people realize how many flno points there are to the deter- ! ml nation of what Is good butter, and wimt learn, the good buttermaker will reap is not so gooa. wnen. muy the only reward he will get will be in noaven. The premiums for butter offered this year by the fair are for a double- Judging to determine not only the excellence of the butter but its keep ing quality. After their tasting spree the three judges select the first, sec ond, and third best samples, labelled them, and scaled the entire 35 en tries In a cold-storage room at tho Terminal Ice and cold storage plant here. The question Is, how will they score a month from now? A montn, according to Max aehlhar, director of agriculture, Is the average length of time that It takes to got buttor, exported from the state, from the buttermaker to the buttor user. Con eeauentlv Oregon's effort to Improve the quality of Its butter for sale In other stateB will be gauged to a con siderable extent by the result of the second scoring made when tho Oregon State Pair opens. In this contest Oregon buttormak era aro coming up against sovero competition from several other states. Tennessee, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Washington are after the premiums and the blue ribbon. Tho Judges for the double-scoring contest are J. E. Draper, of Portland, division of poultry and dairy pro ducts, U. S. department of agricul ture; Professor O. H. Wlloter of Cor vallls, Oregon State collego; and Oeorge Jacobscn of Portland, expert buttermaker. the extent to which the decrease In the lamb crop Is reflected in docroos- ed marketings will depend 'largely upon whether the number of owe h.nnHit, firw iD n inruor nr Rinniior percentage of the lamb crop than tho inga during tho balanco of the year number retained in 1031 was of the aro apt to bo large, but will be lnflu 1931 lamb crop.

An average yield of this orchard Is about 46 tons of fruit, though In 1023, It bore 70 tons and In 1024 H boro 50 tons. In thl orchard tho county agricul turist haa been experimenting with fertilizer: by applying the fertilizer to ono block of trees and then leav ing a similar blorli unfertilized.

This year there has been no such forced marketings in August, and there seems to have been some tendency to hold -lambs that normally would be marketed before September first. In Texas, however, a quite different situation prevails. With a lamb crop as large this year as lost and with a relatively largo proportion of the 1931 crop, both ewe and wether, retained in flocks, a large Increase in market ings over last year Is possible If the 1932 crop is largely marketed before the end of the year. While the num ber or 1932 lambs marketed before September first was considerably larg er than the number of 1931 lambs marketed beforo September 1. 1931, there remains a large number of 1933 lambs to bo disposed of.
