NC Prrrop-Manv have supgestsd

N. G. PIERcE.-Many have suggested
in this time of low pressure farming
"what shall we do price Of labor is Sc
high" Ihave thought dairying woulC
be best, but l thought as l purchased q
broom recently, from the price, that
broom.corn might be raised profitably
Yet there is something else coming up
Tobacco. Well, we little back from
the river, will produce the butter and
cheese and let you have it and take your
Tobacco. No, we will not have it.
AS to the breed of cows, / would have
the Alderny and native for the price Of
the butter from the former is double. But
the IIolstein | deem far superior in the
flow Of milk and in the production Of
curd for cheese. | wish we might intro
duce them, | am favorable to the projec-
ton of cheese factory in Westminster.
Mrs. d. G, WRIGHr-Qn reply to in-
terogatories by the President) My
husband says | don't know one COW from
another, neither ours from the neighbors.
But the butter | make from our COWS
now is different from what We used to
make, it is more yellow and solid, of
finer flavor, much more from the same
quantity of milk. My neighbor said to
me tonight show do you make so much
butter from SO little milk" The article
read by request of my husband, written
by gentleman from ST. Lawrence Co.
N. T., recommending the use of watts for
milk, | never have heard anything about
before. | advocate them, think they
would be nice thing; l go in for watts
delighted with the idea, think we shall
have some. (Laughter.)
Mrs. S. FRENcH-I keep my cream
upon the ice until short time before
churning, then return the butter to the
ice house to remain. But / question
from what I have heard and not from
experience, whether, when that butter
comes to be kept in an ordinary atmos-
phere will retain its purity as we'll.
would therefore ask the question.
Mrs. WRIGHT-I have made butter
by the use of ice as suggested by Mrs.
French and after time removed it to a
common cellar and there it remained
until used and it kept perfectly pure and
sweet.
Mrs. G. MErcALF,-My experience is
that it will not keep as well.
Mrs. N. FIsHER.-My experience is
that the COW whose milk is over ex-
ira for butter will not excel for the
quantity of cheese. don't know but it
may be better, There is great differ
ence in cows.
Mrs. GEo. SABIN.-I prefer to make
butter if the weather is sufficiently cool.
| think a cheese factory would save us
ladies much labor.
Mrs. n. G. PIERcE--I think making
butter in cool weather and cheese in
warm is advisable. l never tried to see
which was the most profitable.
Mrs. ]. Clark.-I thing making but
ter more profitable than cheese for small
diaries. | had no trouble with my but
ter through the hot weather. / set my
milk in building distinct from any
other, upon milk rack, using cool well
water for butter.
Mrs. FARwELL.-I prefer making
butter forepart of the the season and
later cheese. If l had milk enough
would make cheese for profit.
Mrs. NJ. w. DAvIs.-Where labor is
scarce, think it advisable to make but
ter altogether. l keep my cream and
butter npon ice, never heard of any
complaint but what it kept we'll. There
is great difference in cows, and greatly
effected by the manner of keeping. l
would have my milk room distinct in its
use, above ground and we'll ventilated.
REV. f. j. FAIRBANKs-Called upon
but declined by saying "You wantfacts
rather than theories"
Geo. Metcalf in the chair.)!
II. A. WILLARD.-Better have facts
than thories, therefore might decline
as our worthy pastor,::but cheese manu-
featuring is branch of agricultural
pursuit. Cheese factories are institu-
tons and butter factories are coming in
to vogue for such want of good butter.
The aggregate of butter sent to market
is poor-there much of it is overhauled,
subjected to new process of mannipu-
lation and the best is selected; and it is
even said that of Vermont butter, only
one-tenth is at No. /, this commands
high price. This establishes the fact of
the necessity of butter factories. So
much poor butter is not for want of skill
in making as for want of proper conven
fences. Now if we will band together,
thereby securing all needed conveniences
as a DeODle the result will have ,,,oL 4.
