Wiavor In Butter of First Import ADCO -- Firmness Also a Strong Point--How to Cure and Pack In Condition for Showing. tarie Department of ture, Toronto.) O show or not to show," that is the question many a woman thinks over as the time draws near for the holding of the annual fall fair, There are some who would not miss the event, and 'make entries in many classes; while others are rather timid about exhibiting, especially if they are doing it for the first time. Let us take the exhibiting of but- ter. Sometimes a woman goes home from the fair feeling rather hurt be- cause some neighbor took more and higher prizes than she did. She thought that her butter was good, but the other must have bedn con- sidered better by the one who was acting as jugge. There re times when a judge has to mark very closely te place the prizes. Scere cards are not used at all of our fairs, nor do all judges use the same score card, but the one proposed by the National Dairy Council reads as follows, as regards points sawarded: Texture Incorporation of moisture. Color . Salting ., PaCKIBE ..veeasieseinn Total .. The flavor important po to * should be clean and sweet without taint of any kind. An objectionable flavor, no matter how slight, would prevent one receiv- ing a full seord. Some defects in flavor are more serious than others, buf many of these could be avoided by taking a little more care. The care in the stable and in the ~ separator room is just as Important | as the churning or the holding of the butter afterwards. It a judge should find two lots of butter with the same total score he would give the higher place to the lot with the better flavor. The texture of the butter is an- other point that 4s taken into econ- | sideration. Butter should have good body--Arm and waxy. You have cut butter that looked good and remained firm on the plate, but you have also seen just the oppo- site to this--butter that had a greasy appearance, the drops of moisture large and milky, and it became soft when left in the plate for a short time. The judge comes across just as great contrasts when going through the exhibits and he scores accord- ingly. To seeure good texture it is neces- sary to make use of suitable temper- atures and to work the butter in the right way. Cool the crea immedi- ately after separating and churn it at a temperature that will bring the butter ia nice firm granules in 20 to 30 minutes. (Too high temperature | means soft butter and greater loss in the buttermilk). The temperature of the wash water should be such that it will not make the butter too hard or too soft for working. Work the butter by press- ing it carefully and evenly. A sliding or cutting motion will tend to make the butter greasy. Overworking should also be avoided. Butter is worked to make it compact and to distribute the salt and motsture even- Por nn on.. re [1y. When butter is cut the surface | should be close and the drops of moisture should be clear and very minute, | The colet of the butter should be { even and bright. If the butter is not | worked enough the color will be un- | even, although this is not noticeable | at the time of working. | If the butter is too soft, the salt should be mixed through it, and the butter placed where it will come to a proper firmness before working. By doing this it will score higher for both texture and color than it would | M worked in the soft state. The salt | in the butter should bé evenly distri- } buted and thoroughly dissolved. It | is better to have the .butter salted very lightly than to have it over- salted. . The popular butter at the present time has mild clean flavor, olose body and light salting. The finish or packing should also be considered. In fact, the judge will notice the appearance of the exhibit before he has had time to draw out & plug of butter on his trier. Let the | prints be well made ---- solid, even, | with clear-cut corners and the papers wrapped neatly, Butter tubs and boxes require a lining of parchment paper, and crocks thould be in good condition, free from cracks or breaks in fhe glazing. The top of a large package should be smoothly finished and covered neatly with parchment paper. Butter for ,exhibition should be made two days or more before the fair to give it time to become set. It should be kept in @ clean cool place | on the farm, and be brought to the fair in the best possible condition. Butter made and cared for In this way will score higher than it would if made the morning of the fair, as is sometimes the case, Do not feel discouraged if you do | not secure the prizes that you hoped | to win.

Hundreds of little children with bunches and wreaths of fragrant English flowers attended this year's | service and placed their tributes on | the graves. Local governing bodies, | elubs and associations were repre- | sented and sent floral tokens. The | ceremony opened with the singing of | "The Maple Leaf" by the children and afterwards addresses were given | by the mayors of Folkestone and | Hythe. Among the noted assembly | Were many people whom returnad men will remember for their hospital- ity to the C.E.F. They included: The | Mayor Wood of Folkeptone, Deputy Mayor Sir Stephen Penfold, Ald.
