Dairy Products.

The noticeable features of the butter
and cheese manufacture are the en-
HANGED cost of butter during the last
few years, the growth of the co-opera-
tive or creamery system, the increase of
production of both butter and cheese by
comparison with the number of cows,
and the increase in the manufacture of
substitutes for butter
The increased cost of butter is not due
to its scarcity, for the production has
increased if anything more rapidly than
our population. 1t is very largely due
to the growth among us of a taste for
the best butter, for which there is ALWAYS
demand at good prices, and as this
improved taste renders the inferior more
and more unstable, we doubtless find
here also cause for the wonderful in
crease in the manufacture ofcompounds
intended to take the place of butter, for
it is undeniable that most of these COM
pounds are more palatable than poorly
made butter. The growth of the cream
cry system must be hailed, for many
reasons, as a great stride forward in ag-
ricultural advancement. 1t is a vast
saving of labor to that already over
worked class, the farmers wives, and
inasmuch as. it employs persons whose
whole time is devoted to the work of
butter and cheese making and who con-
sequently attain the greatest proficiency
in the work, the result is a generally i'm
proved product. AS might be expected,
however, the great proportion of butter
is still made on the farm, while with
cheese it is quite the reverse. The
proportions for the census year Q879),
are rs follows: Butter made on the
farm, 1890 S7 pounds; made in
factories, 294, 421,784 pounds: cheese
made ON the farm, 1922, 4S9 pounds;
made in factories 1885, 1861 pounds
of which III, $50, 495 pounds was made
in factories exclusively devoted to
cheese making. According to the ce@
sus of 1870, the total butter product
was 5l4,092,6S3 pounds, almost all
made on the farm; the total cheese
product 1872, 927, 3S2 pounds, of which
SO per cent. only was made in factories,
over four times as much cheese being
hen made on the farm as now. In
conjunction with the growth of the but
terand cheese products, it is important
to note the increase in the number of
milch cows, which in 1850 numbered
$3.50, 094, and in 1880, 12,443, l20, and
for this increase in the source of the
raw material of less than 100 per cent,
we have an increase in the aggregate Of
the manufactured products of more than
100 per cent, being considerably over
Shat in butter, but less in cheese. In
other words, the steady improvement
IN our dairy stock makes the mich COW
of 1880 worth at least half as much
again as her predecessor of 1867

An old dairyman thinks Inc

An OLD Qalrymau lHlhho hAJ
vored, aromatic, sweet butter can only
be secured through the use OF a per
centape of new mich cows in the DAIRY
at all seasons. Darlington, the famous
PhHadelpbia butter-maker, milks h's
COWS for butter only three or four
months after calving. then diverts their
milk to cheese, OF to the supply OF the
city milk trade. Butter made from the
milk of farrow cows is inclined to crum-
BILE and taste cheesy.
For those who relish the peculiarly
fresh acid taste of little buttermllk IN
their new butter, unwashed butter Will
be preferred while it is new. AS soon'
however. as the buttermilk which adj
heres to it has had time to change
which it will do in about forty-eight
hours in warm weather-itS fresh taste
disappears and it begins at trst TO ne
stale, then strong, and finally rancid
and decidedly objectionable. Ii the
working is so thorough as to practlcally
remove all of the buttermilk, the IN
creased amount of violence breaks the
grain of the butter, and. this is about as
bad as buttermilk to injure its keeping,
so that worked butter is shorU-INed az
cording to the amount of working done
to it, or the quantity of buttermilk left
in it.-UticG Herald.
The AnaericdR Daiyyndn says:
"There are some things about the dairy
that all men should keep in mind. )ne
of them is that a pound of poor butter
costs Just as much in feed, laborand
general care as pound of good butter.
While they cost just the same one
often sells for double or thrice thesum
paid for the other. While one uilds
up, increases and ornaments the larry
mans reputation, the other, on the con-
trary, pulls it down, Injuries and de-
stroys it. While one heightels the
ambition and urges on to brighter sue
cess, the other breeds discomfort and
general misery. One educates, en-
lightens, elevates, while the other de-
presses, discourages, and causes you to
despise your business. For these rea-
sons, every one should make the best
possible product.
Various journals have lately pub
lished significant statistics illustrating
the disadvantage of holding for higher
prices, especially an article so perish
able as butter. Boston dairy dealers
and persons shipping to them are said
to be out of pocket to the extent Of
S500,000 to $4,000; a Northern New
Yorker has, or had, $4,000 seventy
pound tubs in store, on which his los;
is estimated at 100000 The Mont
pelier Argus calculates that Northern
Vermont holds 5000 frkins which
could have been sold last fall for thirty
to thirty-five cents per pound and nov
goes slow at ten cents, while each weel

value still more. The disastrous out
come of this futile attempt to force tn
market ought to have wholesome
