THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, TUESDAY, APRIL 2s 1874

effect 10 advertise extensively this new and
important movement Upon visiting the
Creamery of Mr.. Dake in search of facts con-
corning his inventions, We were shown
letters from the most distant quarters Of the
land, from the Atlantic Sea Board, to the
Pacific Coast, all seeking further information
concerning his patent process OF handling
butter, and the time and place OF the next
convention, as well as full and explicit d.
rections bearing upon the offer made by Mr..
Dake for the best essays on butter making.
While great interest is felt in the approach
ing convention in the United States IL seems
that at the same time, anxious inquiries
are being made in the adjacent Dominion
BIZ ALARsE ATTENDANCE
of our Canadian friends Is assured. Thi
event will mark new. era in the his
tory OF diary products in this country, and
the very liberal prices offered by the pro-
jector of the movement (Mr. Dske), while
they will have the effect to call out the best
talent in the country, at the same
time show that he is much in earnest in the
work. No standard work on butter max
ing, we believe, exists in the world to-day;
and if the prodigious enterprise undertaken
by the president of the association should
result Ia nothing save the production OF
standard work on the subject of making and
tablished, and the dairy interests greatly
improved. The need of work of this kind
has long been felt by the dairymen In this
country and Canada; and he or she VINO
shall place a book before the world that Is
practical, scientific and reliable, will secure
a fortune at once. From small beginning,
the enterprise, vigorously pushed by the
president, has developed into immense pro-
portions, having officers already In all the
principal dairy states of the union, and Is
destined to effect perfect revolution In the
mode of making and handling butter Inc
following from New York Price Current,
dated March q, 1874, indicates the unm,4-
taxable superiority of the western factoy-
or creamery butter in the eastern mark or
over that manufactured by the usual prois
cess: sin western butter the improvement
in quantity has been especially noticeable,
ana it is safe to say that, while the increase
in quantity has been very great, some OF II
has been equal in quality to fine state but
ter, and great deal of it superior to lower
grades. as This has re-
suited more than all else from what is
called the |" Factory" or " creamery ," plan,
by which the butter from a large number OF
diaries is collected directly from the cnurn,
unsalted, and taken to the factory, worked,
sailed and colored, in large quantities, using
patented machinery, making it uniform In
color and quality 1t has thus
far resulted in an improvement of three TO
five cents in prices at which butter Is SOLD
in the market. Thus it will be seen that a
blow has been struck, the effect OF which
the whole country will feel. Success to the
enterprise, say we. Yankee ingenuity,
backed by indomitable pluck and energy,
will accomplish wonders; and the fact that
what was but a feeble, individual effort, less
than three months ago, has now become
large and powerful organization, linking
state to state in great interests, proves con-
clusively the truth of our statement.
GREAT TIME.
A letter to Mr.. Robert Langsdale, of this
city, from VIM. d. Moffitt, of Beloit, Wis
