Yesterday morning the second Oily session
OF the Mississippi Valley barry ard Cream RI
Association was held. When ca led e. ORDER

mstely connected with the history or butter
making In his country, having dealt in it or
manufactured it all his long life. la 1851 he
came to this city and enga. ed In the safe of
buttec, bringing most or his supply from New
YORK: some WIS obtainoi from the western
Reserve of Ohio. He began getting butter
from Illinois near Galena aud Elgin The but
ter obtained from the latter state was Nery
poor and he paid four cents pound Tor ie
he had printed some Instructions for the
more prop handling of tne product and dis
tributed them largely in Illinois, watch Ind
the feet of improving tie quality of the but
ter. In 1874 he began workiag his dairy farm
and fit that his experience atted him cs-

the milk to seek the outer edge, while the

ten to twelve per cent. more butter could be
made by this plan.
Prof Sanborne said the Government had OK.

mix than by any other system.
There was discussion after the address, all
who had read or heard anything about the
machine having been unable TO lind anything
State senator Morse, OF Jefferson County,
Mo-. aid he came without invirat on and from
curiosity. He had heard that north of para
lcs 81 and 80 the butter OF the world must be
made, but to his mind there should be no in
surmountable obstacle 70 making butter as far
south as the Gulf of Mexico. Artificial re-
frigeration, one of the grand improvements
of grand age, RENDERED this possible. The
southern part of Missouri. he said. is divided
from the northern portion, and in that latter
part all the improvement has been, but III
though it was not 50 considered he knew the
possibilities of the South were greater. No
State i'll the Union has as much water-power
and there is no country in the world finer than
that range of counties including Franklin,
Washington and jefferson Counties.
Major +. F. Hlder read an address on the
"Soutn as Market iof Dairy Products.
j. A. PierSol, of Monroe City, Mo-, started q
| discussion the best methods of running
| creamelies. 1t was shown that the best
| the skim-milll modes could not be utilized. BY
| the ordinary modes of collecting the farmers
| learned they could manipulate their cream TO
| show a larger percentage of butter on the
| gauge than there really was.
| Mr. Addy explained the Shock Solander
| test to obvate this difficulty. 1t Is IN use ut
| the Darlington Creamery in Illinois. The col
| lector takes Il sample of the cream offered by
| tho farmer in quart jar, seals 1t and puts a
number on it. The contents of the jar are put
| in churning box made to hold half gallon
| and churned. 1t ought TO make eight ounces
| of butter perhaps, but the result will vary
| from four to twelve ounces by this method
the exact butterproducing quality of the
cream is determined, and the farmer is paid
| nccor lingly.
| e This ended the morning session and the en-.
! tire body then visited the Merchants Elk

When the Convention assembled in the aft
ernoon, Mr.: Campbell road an essay on EN-
| silage." His argument was favorable to the
| ensilage system,
There was short discussion on the sub ect
| which was led by Mr.. Sawyer of Illinois, and
| Prof. SanbOrne. Mr.. Sawyer had tried en-
sllage and had the fever badly, as he said. He
| thought the feed was better than anything but
| May and June grasses His COWS had given Al
| ing was ~. or % pounds a week while he WAS
| not feeding ensilage. The increase of mill
was nearly one-half when he began feeding
the stock of the slo, but the increase of but
ter was only three pounds, Prof. Sanborne
said the cost was too great for the result.

that he was not the advocate of any patent

70 getting seventy-hve cents a pound for hi
butter and he had 100 cows, all Jerseys. Mr.
Smith continued advising the packing of but

Mr.. ChaS. Cabanne, of ST. Louis. read pa
per on the BEST method of supplying cite
with milk" lie said nearly all the milk sole
| in st. Louis Is produced from COWS in this cit,
or within n mile OF its limits. The milk from
these COWS can be sold cheaper IN this cit!
than the milk produced upon ia, ms so ia
from the city that the milk has 10 he shippe,
in by rail. Every day there is shipped into 81
Louis 900 gallons, Chicago receives 900 gal
Ions and New York llJ,o0n. He showed tn
: difficulties of the delivery i'll the city and end
ed his paper by saying: We have analyze'
samples of milk sold by deliverers of milk her
as pure unskimmed milk that contained bu
, ten per cent. of solids, while It should hay
co tained not less than 1874 per cent am
might have contained l41 per cent. of solids
An average of 1874 per cent of solids can rea
I sonaby be demanded by the buyer in this MAJ
ket during this winter Now the moneys
difference between milk containing 10 pc

cent. In London, England, ii the percentay

dealer is prosecuted for adulteration.
. Prof. Sanborne said that the London stand
: ards were 100 high, as he mad seen analyses G
: milk from healthy COWS that showed nine pc
2 cent. of solids Pure milk varies in its solids
but the failure of milk in analysis to come u
to the proper standard doesn't prove 1t Ia
