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 OH this subject said:

H. 4. Holmes of Chatfel j followed on the
same subject:
First, must be cooperation OF the cream
cry men with each other. Farmers are
Ginning TO recognize the creameries as their
oest helpers. The difference in weather
and station makes difference in the Quen'
tity OF butter obtained. Forty. eight TO IS
deg. is the proper temperature for raising
cream. Ice should not be used in raising
cream.
The last point was disputed by Secretary
Rice, Mr.. Huston and Col Littler.
Mr.. a. P. McKinstry read paper On the
best methods of testing cream. he said,
two methods are known to me-, which nave
the past year met with success: First, the
test tu oe plan; second, the Schsch d Baen-
der system. The tube system gives only
sold inch of cream, without reference to its
value as butter maker.
The S;aaoh d Balender plan consists in
taking half inch (561 cubic inches) OF
each patrons cream, chucning and weigh
ing the butter y ITSELF thus determining
the exac. amount OF butter he should be
paid for. The butter in the cream is in fact
what is purchased. The test is, of course,
made at the creamery. Any one can
MAKE it at home by takin tWo-quart

and shaking it by hand until the butter
comes.

An address was made by Col. h. NJ. Lit lie,

His subject was the Importance OF Our Dai'

There was discussion on the Schoch
Boiender system of testing cream. A. P
McKinsley and G. A. Houston advocated it
and believed that this would in time pre-
vail. This method is fair to both buye
and producer. A certain quantity of cream
does not represent a certain quantity OF but
