OREGON PAIRY COUNCIL
Dairy products, while being the
most carefully manufactured and in
spected of all foods reaching the kit
chen are among the most easily con
taminated by contact with other,
foods. 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.

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,

35 acres of this mixture last spring.

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

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. For these 12 states

The First
Butter Test
SALEM, Ore. (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,

ducts, U. S. department of agricul
ture; Professor O. H. Wlloter of Cor

the drought caused rather heavy
shipments from some states in Aug

below what it normally would have
been. 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

marketed beforo September 1. 1931,

Butter lias boon mi important item in the diet of
mankind for hundreds of years, but not until the pres

which make it so beneficial; and not until recent years
has science perfected the sanitary, efficient processes
which make butter available to everyone at such rea
sonable prices. When you want to be sure of the qual
