On the management of creameries {. II.
Vernon OF MaBkato, said:
Successful management, in order to OBJ
ain the best results, involves the best
means and skill in the manufacture OF bat
ter; good fnanclering, and retaining the
highest degree of confidence and good Will
among patrons.
II. A. Holmes OF Chatfel1 followed on the
same subject
First, must be corporation OF the cream
cry men with each other. Farmers are
coming o recognize the creameries as their
best helpers. The difference in weather
and station makes difference in the guam
tity OF butter obtained. Forty eight 10 90
deg. is the proper temperature for raising
cream. Ice should not be used in raising
cream.
The last point was disputed by Secretary
njoe, 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 have
the past year met with success First the
test-tu5e plan; second, the Schsch & Balen-
der system. The tube system gives only
solid inch of cream, without reference to its
value as butter maker.
The Schach & BaIender plan consists in
taking half irch 1854 cubic inches) of
each patrons cream chu-ning and weigh
ing the butter Y itself, thus determining
the exact amount OF butter he should be
paid tor 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
frAit jar aud putting in quart of cream
and shaking it by hand until the butter
comes.

There was discussion on the Sohoch 81
Bolender system of testing cream. A. 2.
McKinsley and G. 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 otcre4m
does not represent q certain quantity OF but
ter. G. a. Houston then discussed the inn
pOrtance of brand reputation:
BRANDS in connection Y it'll any other
good article are very valuable and impor-
tant. A certain brand OF -four sells for
twenty five cents more in Cedar Rapids
than any other. The same fact is true OF
the dairy. Elgin creamery butter establish
Ell OR market price. II any creamery will
produce anitorm grade of rst-class pro-
duct, its brand will add TO the value, and es
tablish and maintain reputation.

Tense Z. d. Potter, Minneapolis dealer,
spoke OF the producer keeping the products
up to the brand. Never use your brand on
interior articles. a vigorous discussion
next following on butter or cheese, in which
Lawrence Dignam, Lansing, said that
Farmers did not receive a dollar hun
bred for their milk by selling to creameries.
The cheese factory pays this. He gets his
calves wei started before cheese manufsct-
uring commences. There is too wide diff
ference between the price paid for cream
and the market price of creamery butter.
President Marvin, who manufactures
aboEt one half of the cheese produced in
Minnesota, said:
The average paid for cream in 0lmstead
county Wa 18 cents last summer. One hun
bred pouods of milk makes four incaes of
cream. Add the values of skim milk for
ca YES and pigs. and saving loftme. Butter
is q nece. sity. Not one IN six eats cheese.
Batter making is not liable to be overdone IS
is caeesemakirg. In thirlg settled counties
butter is the most profitable. The over
production of cheese is easy and reduces
the market. The price saould be fixed tor
both cheese and butter when either pays
best.
G. A. Houston believed in cheese factor
les and in Cr9ameries, too. His factories
are fixed up to make both butter and cheese.
In June and July they make butter, and
let the calves lave the SKIM milk. The res.
OF the season they turn to cheese. A spirited
discussion followed. The general senti.
meDt was that both were profitable in their
place.
