AUs yAeiU6 SVOu now OF feA O0aDsy rich
MILF. The farmers ARE culling over thei,
same humber of COWS.
Ihird-Ihec creamery system allows the
farmer to Keep more stock as the home
labor is lightened; can take better care Of
them, bestow better treatment on them. A
patron OF a creamery finds u that kindness
to his COWS pays at the cream gauge.
Fourth-lt eGucates the patrons how and
where to set their milk to get the best re-
I suits.
Fifth-It furnishes the patrons with a
market at their own door aud pays him his
each, and all the hard labor Of making
butter is removed.
Sixth "A creamery assists dairymsn who
are not its patrons by moveing of their
market large quantities of butter which
would otherwise be in direct competition
with their business.
Seventh-lt euatlas the farmers to raise
his csives, swine and poultry in good con-
| dition.
Eighth-lt bril- .gs character, reputation
and wealth to thu community where they
are established. We Quote O!msted colnty
IN illustration. Mi.ne.ota is the best diary
state in the Union, and we need fear no
market competition for our creamery pro.
| ducts.
An interesting discussion was brought
out by this paper, regarding the practical
work OF gathering cream.
In regard to the handling of milk Mr.. b.
F. Holmes on this subject said:
FIrst--Select good COW. kind. yellow
skinred, quiet.
Sscond-Give good, warm stable.
Third-Giye her all she can eat and di-
sest. Put In staGl. uinme. and winter
tiike.
Fourth Milk quickly and strain at once;
n set apart from anything that can inn
| part bad odors. Set in deep cans; skim in
about twen:y.four hours, AID stir the whsle
every time you put cream into the cream
tank. He went on to show very wildly
the striking contrast between the carel SO.
Ignorant dsiry farmer without Plan or juds-
meEt, and the improved dairy farmer who
takes due care OF every poitn of his herd,
| u @:shls milk and cream. He said Ga to G6
deg. in winter. and So to SIS deg. in sum-
mel is the proper temperature for churning.
A paper was read by o. c. Gregg Of Mar
shall, How to Make!Farming IN Minnesota
Successful. He said:
Minnesota for the past ten years has not
proved it 8 paying business. Mortgages are
stacked zap i'll every county and great pros.
i peIity0 is not apparent. Successful farming
is not connected exclusively with grain rais-
ing. 1t must include stock raising. Wheat
raising. If successful, must in the future
mean to take cheap wheat to the worlds
market. Our experience in wheat raising
is not promising for this section. But Min
nesota is the very first as an oat state, second
as a rye state, third SIS a corn state, and in
the higheat place We must put the produc-
ton OF grasses. Blue grass, timothy end
clover ere perfectly adapted here. Acre for
ara we caulGl be beaten in these. We have
ocen $ irving 10 raise the most difficult crop,
a9d disreparoing those more natural and
most profitable.
Ol the arrangement of craameries G.. ~.
Venom OF Mankato, said:
Successful management, in orSer to Oh
tim the best results, involves the best
means and skill in the manufacture oi bat
.c1; good financ;ering, and retaining tbs
highest degree CT confidence and good will
among patrons.
II. a. Holmes ofChat6sll followed OH the
same subject:
First, must be cooperation OF the cream.
cry men with each other. Farmers arc
coming TO recognize the creameries as their
pest helpers. The difference in weather
and station makes q difference in the quar-
tity OF butler obtained. Forsy.eight TO SIS
deg. is the proper temperature for raising
cream. Ice should rot be used in raising
Cream.
The last point was disputed by Secretary
RICE, Mr.. Huston and Col. L!ttler.
MIR. A. P. McKinstry read a paper on the
best methods Of testing crsarn. He said,
two methods are known to me, which hsvs
the past year met with success: First, the
test-tu2e plan; second, the Schsch d BAlon-
der system. The t4be system gives only a
sold inch ofcreanl, without reference to its
value as q butter maker.
The S.aach q calender plan consists in
taking q half inch (sGaa cubic inciies) OF
each Patrons cream, chucning and weigh
ing the butter y itself, thus determining
the exact amount Of butter he should be
paid fer. TGe butter in the cream is in fact
what Is purchased. The tsst is, of course,
made at tbs creamery. Any one can
maze it at home by takin a two.quart
frait jar and putting in a quart of cream
and shaking it by hand until the butter
co ncs.
Rv. f. Miller, ID. D., pastor of the First
Methodist church of ST. Paul, gave an ed.

EeTT III water in later season before par.
turiiion. Frosted food, especially no Is.
impure water. Excessive muscular ex. rsion
q d excitement. Animals threatened with
abortion ahoLll be kept quiet. S.iatives
should be administered, such as tinc'ure o!
lau lannm or choral hydrate. and.kept in a
carefully ventilated room. If the mother
Is properly cared for, milking should be
stopped SIX months before tie Birth OF the

no surgical operations. After ca.ving,
mother kept in O comfortable place for u
few days. The calf as soon as born should
be attended to. Membranes removed from

Local treatment consists OF application of

Bo!pnder system of testing cream. A. p.
Mcktnsley and C. A. Houston advocated ii,
and believed that this would in time pre-.

and producer. A certain quantity ofcream
