Show UNIFORM COLOR IS DESIRED Coloring Should Be Added Just Before Churning Begins Overchurning Is Undesirable. A uniform color in the butter from one season to the other Is desirable, hence during the winter when the cows are getting dry feed a little coloring col-oring should be added. Too much coloring, col-oring, however. Is very undesirable. When coloring is used it should 'be added just before the churning begins. Stopping the churn at the proper time has much to do with the quality of the butter. It should be stopped when the butter is in the form of granules about the size of a kernel of wheat or a trifle larger. When the butter is churned to too small granules gran-ules many of them will go through the buttermilk strainer and will cause more or less loss. Overchurning is undesirable un-desirable because the butter will retain considerable buttermilk, which is difficult diffi-cult to remove ana which also tends to cause the butter to deteriorate faster. As soon as the churning has been completed, com-pleted, the buttermilk should be drawn off. |
