CREAMERIEs ON THE FRONTIER.
Mr.. j. Sampson read a paper upon this
topic, in which he, while not claiming to
be thoroughly practical operator of
creameries, still gave some very interest
ing suggestions. He remarked that we
needed creameries on the frontier because
they bring in their train wealth, comfort
and happiness. Because they make the
farmer more independent of railways
and their heavy rates, as the products of
the creameries are less bulky than the crude
products of the soil. But few years ago
it was claimed that the frontier prairie
grasses would not make such quality of
butter as could be proftably sold in the
market. They had demonstrated the falls
ity of this idea by the practical results of
their creamery at Storm Lake. The sys-
tenn of gathering cream adopted by them
had been caught by those farmers who had
not sold their cream to the factory, and as
a result, instead of their bringing to mar
ket butter that was a drug at twelve cents
they very readily found market for their
homemade butter at twenty cents.
THE CARE OF DAIRY COWS.
The exercises were further continued by
the reading of a paper by S. Faville, of
Delavan, Wis, on the subject of ''The Care
and Feed of Dairy Cows" Mr.. Faville said
that the practical answering of the ques
tion propounded by his topic, was of the
most vital Importance, as by it was to
be determined the profit or loss of dairying.
One Kind of care and feed would be sure
to yield satisfactory results, while the op-
posite would be unsatisfactory. The Sc
lection of COWS for the dairy, however, is
of the first importance. The speaker
would not say what breed of
cows were the best. Each breeder or
stockgrower had his own ideas on that.
He would only say, of whatever breed you
buy, buy the best, or whatever breed you
raise, raise the best. Never keep a COW
for any length of time who does not pay
profit upon her care and keeping. If you
raise your herd, keep cow until she gets
her growth, and if she is not profitable
dairy animal, send her to the shambles;
and if you purchase your herd, weed out
the COWS that do not pay after one
years trial. The amount of
milk a cow must produce to be profitable
cannot be exactly stated, but it is safe to
say that COW that will not make $50
pounds of cheese or 200 pounds
of butter in the season had better be sent
to the butcher. Having secured a good
herd, treat them tenderly and feed them
generously. What constitutes tender
treatment, he would leave to the good
some of them would not appreciate it
rightly. One farmer might thing that
straw stack to run to
and an occasional feed of hay
was tender treatment, while different
stages of care by others still better would
fall short of what ought to be adopted.
The treatment necessary to success, which
the speaker denominated kindc, ontemplat-
ea warm shelter, so warm that freezing in
the coldest weather Of water within the
stable would be impossible, and a system
of generous feeding, so generous as to sat
isfy her animal nature. The COWS ought
to be kept in the stable nearly all the time
in cold weather, only being turned out for
water and exercise in the middle of
the day. They should not be run
in on trot by boy
mounted on horse supplied with fierce
dog. Mr.. White, of Kenosha, was most
successful dairyman, and said: "Treat
your COWS as kindly and politely as you
would lady" In regard to feeding gen
erously he would quote the old adage: He
that would put milk into the pail must
first put it into the mouth of the cow"
We must feed regularly and understand
inglY, as well as generously. He would
recommend early cut hay and corn fodder
as coarse feed, and liberal rations of corn
meal, ground oats, and wheat bran
in equal quantities by weight,
fed dry unless you can
cut your coarse feed and mix wet; but if
fed dry, always after the coarse feed had
been eaten, both morning and night. The
COW is only machine to convert the pro-
