and presses III one room. Use uppor-Bsory Tor
torod, will 30 needed for curing In spring and
fall, with means Of heating. The factory should
be located Oh high, dry ground with good drain
age; not iu slough Such factory can bo
pitt in running orttor for $500, Of Which $500

factory ayatem was to revolutionize tho butter
in selecting locatlons for tactorios. At his fac-
tory milk IL received once day. II 1t could bo
dono llo would profer having It delivered twice

Those arc aot in WITS Of running water.
The o1d-faahoned dash-clurr, rim by ateAH&
power, ia used. Tho butter is washed while
boing workod Halted 20 ounces to % nouatls, :;
atands 24 hours aud Is again worked: Tho milk
etanils before Ak1nnling from 12 to 48 hours, ac-
cording to tho demand for skim-lnilk clooao,

after skl1nluing. Believes more butter can be
made by letting tho croam bcc0n,e acid baforo

| torily uBod In making choose 900 pounds OF
