Il at by 1t more butter was gotten from carried
mix than by any other system.
There was q discussion after the address, all
who had read or heard anything about the
machine having been unable to find anything
not in its favor.
Mo-. aid he came without Invita- on and from
curiosity. He had heard that north of paral
ieis 81 and 3s the butter or the world must be
made, but to his mind there should be no in
surnountable obstacle to making butter as far
south as the Gulf of Mexico. Artificial re-
frigeration, one of the grand improvements
of a grand age, rendered this possible. The
southern part of Missouri, he said, Is divided
from tue northern portion, ana III tnat latter
part all the improvement has been, but al.
though it was not so considered, he knew the
possibilities of the South were greater. No
State i'm the Union has as much waterpoweT,
and there is no country in the world finer than
that range of counties including Franklin,
Washington and jefferson Counties.
Ma,orF. F. Hilder tad an address on the
"South as Market ioc Dairy Products"
]. A. PiersOl, of Monroe City, Mo-, started a
discussion on the best methods of running
creameIies. Ii was shown that the best
method was the collection of cream, as here
the skim-milk modes could not be utilized BY
the ordinary modes of collecting the farmer
lear ned they cou d manipulate their cream to
show n larger percentage of butter on the
gauge than there really was.
Mr.. Addy explained the Shock & Bolancer
test to oDviate this difficulty. 1t is in use TT
tue Darlington Creamery in Illinois. The col
iector takes sample of the cream offered o.
the farmer in Il quart jar, seas 1t and puts
number on it. The contents of the jar are put
in "a churning box made to mold half gallon
and churned. 1t ought TO make eight ounces
of butter perhaps, but the result will VAR
from four to twelve ounces. By this method
the exact buttcrproducing quality of the
cream is determined, and the farmer Us palH
accordingly.
This ended the morning session and the en-.

silage-" His argument was favorable to the
ensilage system.
There was short discussion on the subject,
which was led by Mr.. Sawyer, of Illinois. and
Prof. Sanborne Mr.. Sawyer had tried en-.
silage and had the fever badly, as he said. He
thought the feed was better than anything but
May and June grasses. Mis- cows had given a.
pounds of milk a day, and the butter result
ing was 22l4 or % pounds a week whils he was
not feeding ensilage. The increase of milk
was nearly one-half when he began feeding
The stock of the silo, but the increase of but
ter was only three pounds. Prof Sanborne
said the cost was too great for the result

MIR. douglass. of Jef, rson County, spoke of
the manufacture of butter from sweet cream.
A correspondent of his ut Brookline, Mass,

Mr.. Chas Cabanne, Of St. Louis read a pa
per on the Best method of supplying cities
with milk" He said nearly all the nslk sold
in St. Louis is produced from cows in this city
Or within a mile of its limits. The milk from
these COWS can be sold cheaper IN this city
than the milk produced upon fans so far
from the city that the milk has to be shipped
n by rail. Every day there is shipped into St
Louis $50 gallons, Chicago receives 40 900 gai
ons and New York 1l0,0V0. He showed the
difficulties of the delivery in the city and end
ell his paper by saying: We have analysed
samples of milk sold by delverers of milk here
as pure unskimmed milk that contained but
zen per cent. of solids, while it should have
obtained not less than l2I. per cent. and
might have contained 14l2 per cent. OF solids
An average of 49, per cent. of solids can rsa-
sonably be demanded by the buyer in this mar:
ket during this winter. Now the noneyed
difference between milk containing 10 per
cent. and IL per cent. in solids is over 81 per
cent. In London, England, if the percentage
of solids is not up to lis and 2.5 of fat the
dealer is prosecuted for adulteration.
Prof. Sanborne said that the London stand.
'rds were too high as he had seen analyses of
milk from healthy cows that showed nine per
eat. of solds, Pure milk varies in its solids,
but The failure of milk in analysis to come up
