I Immediately got under the covers
and feigned sleep. The matron stood j
talking ln low tones to the night nurse ,
and I fell asleep.
When I awoke ln the monitng the 1
night sister, an American, was bending ,
over me. An awful sight met my eyes.
The coverlet on the bed and the sheets
were a mass of mud and green slime.
She was a good sport all right and
hustled to get clean clothes and sheets
so that no one would get wise, but "on
her own" she gave me a good tongue
lashing but did not report me. One of
the Canadians in the ward described
her as being "a Jake of a good fel

time explaining to my visitor why I
had not met her at the appointed time

the usual length of time; ln fact, the
churning is sometimes prolonged fori
several hours without obtaining but-
ter. The causes of the difficulty, to-1
gether with the remedies, are as fol
lows :
1. Churning temperature too low. It
may be, necessary, under exceptional
conditions, to raise It to between 66
and 70 degrees Fahrenheit
2, Cream too thin or too rich. It
should contain about 30 per cent but
terfat
Printing Butter.
3. Cream too sweet If ripened to a
moderate acidity It will churn more
easily.
4. Churn Joo fuIL In order to ob
tain the maximum concussion the
chum should not be more than one
third fuIL
5. Ropy fermentation of the cream
prevents concussion. This may be
orevented bv sterilizine all the uten-
alls and producing the milk ahd cream
timli-r the most sanitary conditions. If
additional measures are needed, the
pasteurisation of the crenm, with sub
sequent protection from contamination,
nnd ripening It with a good slarler
will be elTeetlva.
ft, Individuality of the cow, The
only remedy Is to obtain cream from
a cow recently fresh, or cream that
Is known to churn easily, and before
ripening mix It with the cream Hint Is
dlillcult to churn.
7. The cow being far advanced In
the period of lactation. The efforts
may be at least partially overcome by
adding, before ripening, some cream
from a cow that Is not far advanced
In the period of lactation.
8. Feeds that produce hard fat. Such
feeds are cottonseed incul and timo
thy hay. Unseed meal, gluten feed,
ami succulent feeds, such as silage
nnd roots tend to overcome the condition.
