There was a discussion on the Schoch e.
BOiender system of testing cream. A. Z.
McKinsley and @. A. Houston advocated it,
and believed that this would in time pre-
vail. This method is fair to both buyer
and producer. A certain quantity ofcreans
does not represent q certain quantity OF but
ter. c. A. Houston then discussed the inn
Portauce of brand reputation:
Brands in connection Nth any other
good article are very valuable and impor-
tant. A certain brand of -four sells for
twenty five cents more in Cedar Rapids
thar any other. The same fact is true OF
the dairy. Elgin creamery butter establish
eli OR markel price. If any creamery will
produces uniform grade of ii rst-class pro
duct, its brand will add to the value, and es-
taolish and maintain a reputation.

Lawrence Disnam, Lansing, said that
Farmers did not receive a dollar a hun
dred for their milk by stlling to creame,ie7.
The cheese factory paws this. He gets his
calves vel started before cheese manufact-
ur;ng commences. There is too WIDE a diff
ference between the price paid for cream
and the market price of creamery butter.
President Marvin, who manufactures
about one half of the cheese produced in
Minnesota, said:
The average paid for cream in 0lmstead
county wa IL cents last summer. One hun

cream. Add the values of skim milk for
ca yes and pigs and saving loftlme. Butter
Is nece sity. Not one IN six eats cheese.
Butter mating is not liable I'd be overdone as
is c~aeesemskiIg. In thin l. SETTLED counties
butter is the most profitable. The over
production of cheese is easy n reduces
the market. The price SHOULD be fixed for
both cheese and butter when either pays
best.
@. A. Houston believed in cheese faeter-
les and in cresmeries, too. His factories
are fixed up TO make both hutter aud cheese.
In June and July they make butter, and
let the calves Rave the skim milk. The rest
of the season they turn TO cheese. A spirited
discussion followed. The general senli.
ment was that both were profitable in their
place.

commended a change to Minnesota butter
