Dead loss u 80
We set the whey over against the skim. milk
lor the swine, and put the labor Of putting an.
to pans over against the fact that churning is
done Monday, and that m"n must otherwise
work on Sunday in the factory. A loss Of 30
cents week would count up 10 $40 80 year
the possible loss TO a pious dairyman for
keeping the Sabbath.
But then milk can be kept over. Let me
quote a little from a discussion bad at the
Ohio Dairymens Association, held at yelling.
ton last January.
"Nr. Garter, Lake County had adopted the plan Of
receiving milk at his factories but once a day the
nights milk being set in the Of the farmers house
and cooled, the mornings milk added and then deliver
ed lie has had trouble from floating curd since he
adopted this plan lie has had good luck in making
up nights milk. The plans adopted among his patrens
10 cool milk various, using tubes, Others set
ting the milk in larger one tub and stirring
the milk occasionally. lie believed the mixture Of the
warm mornings milk improved the whole.
"Mr A. Bartlett Of Lake Co., had patron last sum.
mer who did not deliver his milk hut a day. and
on Monday mornings brought four mklngs aud be had
| no trouble with that milk.
| Mr. Baker Of Michigan, had good luck BY his pat
rons cooling their milk at home and deli yerng once
day. He had averaged during the past season at his
factory one pound Of cheese from every S7sIOO pounds
| of milk.
"Mr L. Bartlett Of Geauga Co., soid that when milk
Is cooled night and the fresh mornings milk put in
1t has tendency to improve the whole and is prohta
bic plan.
iMr A. Bartlett said that in Indiana, where the plan
of delivering day had been adopted has proven
a perfect He approved of it. as it saved night
work for both and beast and hands be employ
| ca cheaper.
"Mr johnson, of Ashtabula Co.. said that he approy.
ed OF the plan of cooling and delivery once day. The
plan adopted among his people is to insert tube six
inches in diameter in the can filled with cold water,
to set the can in large bucket His yield from milk
treated in this way has been pound of cheese from
1-6 pounds Of milk.
'Mr. II. NJ. Viets of Loran, read an essay Oh the
odors of milk and delivery once day which was in
perfect accordance with the views of Mr. Carter Hart
Bartlett and others.
"The question was asked, will not milk that has been
cooled by ice to a lower temperature than the
atmosphere sour by rising in degree Of heat.
"Mr Viets that II cooled it came from the
cow it would stand greater heat without souring than
under any other treatment let 1t be cooled low
temperature as II may.
'The following resolutions adopted:
"Resoired, That milk should not be up but
day, when the nights milk can be kept in good condi
tiOn.
"Reaoired, That, in the opinion of this convention
milk in all cases should be cooled home by the far
mers drawn from the cows and left to the
option to deliver or twice day"
So, after ALL the matter of loss is question
Now for the fair play that want. While one
mana good Christian man-has lot of COW:
that give milk on Sunday, here is another
good Christian man who has a saw-mil that
runs by waterpower. Sometimes in summer
the water runs low, and he can't work. Pat
rons are pressing on his attention their logs -
they want their lumber.
All at once comes freshet and there is q
good head of water. But it happens to b,
Sunday Yet God sent the head of water
sent it on Sunday! To let it go is a dead loss
TO work all day Sunday would be nice little
sum in the good mans pocket.
But if my Christian friend who owns the
saw-mill should regale your cars with the
chug chug, clug, of his MILL as you were go
ing to church, (after you had sent off you
milk to the factory, and three men were work
ing quietly away to make it up) you woul'
be the first one TO get up in church mectin!
I and ask for a committee to go and labor will
the saw ill-brother for breaking his cove
= mart VOWS.
I Suppose Fisk, Siliman Co. should run thei
hoppers all day every Sunday when there wa
head of water in the creek? How Ion!
would it be before there would be fuss j
town? Now here comes the fair play. Why
4 is it worse on the edge of one hill than on tn
Il edge of another across the creek Why ar
: trundlng milk wagons any more innocer
y than trundling grain wagons, or lumber-wae
ons?
, To be sure the mill would make more nOis
than the cheese-factory; but noise isn't til
: worst thing in the world. I'd rather have
trip-hammer going all the time, than til
smell we sometimes have in our neighbo
hood, and which is like the skeleton at an ol
Ie Egyptian feast-a reminder of dcatll-a deaf
T. long unburied.
'e The thing isis it breaking the Sabbath
III is it not If it is not then it is all right fl
ie the cheese-factory, but then it is all right fl
III Fisk, Silliman & Go. when they have head
ie water; and if it is right then, it is right
10 'oork on Sunday, so it is right for Mr.. Gull
ie and Johnson and Latin, and Mr.. Hitchcoc
he and Mr.. Snyder; and for that matter, it
e, right for Felix Conlin TO go out gardenin
III and all such things.
