ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. I.
Yesterday morning the second daily session
OF the Mississippi Valley Dairy and Cream r
Association was held. When called t. ordc
the Convention was addressed by Mr.. Doug
| mately connected with the history of butter
making in This ccuntry having dealt in it O
manufactured it all his long life. In 1857 hi
came to this city and engas ed in the sale O
| butter, bringing most OF his supply from New
4 York; some was obtained from the Wester!
| Reserve of Ohio. He began getting butter
| from Illinois near Gaiena and Elgin. The but
/ ter obtained from the latter STATE was sety
/ poor and he paid four cents pound for II
| he had printed some instructions for the
| more proptr handling of the product and dis
| tr1buted them largely in Illinois, which hat
| the eject of improving tie quality OF the but
| ter. In 1874 he began working his dairy farm
| and felt that his experience fitted him cs
pecially to counsei his Acknowledgements EIC
Iald esrecIaL stress upon the necessity of c. ii
stlu2ting the dairy houSe so that the temper,t
tqre Should be equal the year round. One
plan is hoWing streams OF water tn ough the
b4IIdlng. Another building has walls OF the
mouse in three sections, so that there VIC IL ID
be three air chambers, to be opened at night
and closed during the day. Prof. Wilknson's
plan OF building was 10 have the dairy-house
IN hillside and conducting the o 3ed or
warmed air through ducts in the hIiI w tt
Wind-mllls pumping the surplus water in tanks
to make artlncial streams where there
are none natural But he said that
while he thought his dairy was cutie
convenient, if he was starting anew
ne would Introduce into his establishment the
centrifugal separator which takes the milk as
~ comes from the COW and separates the cream
from the milk. The mix Is paced on d CON
cave disk and reVolved rapidly, which caused
me mix TO seek the outer edge, while the
cream flowed out of the center. He claimed
ten TO twelve per cent. more butter could be
made by this plan.
Prof. Sanborne said the Government had ey.
gDePimGuteQ with this Tn9phiyltl nd had found
Il a. by it more butter was gotten from c ar5ed
mix than by any other system.
Ihere was discussion after the address, all
who had read or heard anything about the
machine having been unable to find ANYTHING
not i'll Is favor.
State senator Morse, of jefferson County,
Mo-, S lid he came without invita- on and fir m
curiosity. He had heard that north of part
lels 81 and IS the butter of the world must he
made, but to his mind there should be no in
sarnhounta a obstacle to making butter as far
south as the Gulf OF Mexico. Artificial re-
frigerat1on, one OF the grand improvements
OF grand age, rendered this possible The
southern part OF Missouri, he said, is divided
from Inc northern portion, and in that latter
part all the improvement has been, but al
though it was not SO ConsiCered, he knew the
possibilities of the South were greater No
state IN 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 +. T. Hilder read an address on the
: South as Market Or Dairy Products.'
J. a. Piersol, of Monroe City, Mo-, started a
on the best methods of running
ereamel les. 1t was shown that the best
method was the collection of cream. as here
he skim-milk modes could not be utilized. BY
me ordinary modes OF collecting the farmers
cared they could manipulate their cream to
how Il larger percentage Of butter on the |
sange than there really was.
Mr.. Addy explained the Shock & Bolander |
est to obyiate this difficulty. 1t is in use at |
ne Darlington Creamery in Illinois. The col |
n n nF1 rNfFr, |
ne farmer in quart jar, seals it and puts |
lumber on it. The contents OF the jar are put |
n churning box made to hold half a gallon |
nd churned. 1t ought to make eight ounces
Il butter perhaps, but the result will vary
rom four to twelve ounces. BY this method |
ne exact butter producing quality of the |
ream is determined, and the farmer is paid
ccordingly.
This ended the morning session and the on
hange.
