W. B. Cromwell Of Storm Lake, Iowa, read
paper, which was discussed at length, on
Mistakes Under the Cream Gathering SystemD
Mr.. Anderson, a prominent New York commits
sion man, stated that he found the Storm Lake
butter good grain, clean and free from inn
purities ON the trier. The fact that the trier
comes out greasy and not clean on the
back shows butter TO be oVarworked MI.
Cromwell did not think second orking neces-
sary on account of buttermilk, but to add solid
ity. Buttermilk can be gotten out on firsi
working. Think the majority of creameries
work but once.
"Butter, and Butterine'' is the title of a paper
read by Joseph Lampson of Storm Lake, Iowa
He said the imitation of creamery butter ia SO
very perfect that even experts are puzzled in
deciding as to what is butter and what is but
terine, when samples are placed before item
In my judgment three things ought to be done
by us with q view of meeting and
combating not only this evil, but
all others of q kindred nature.
First-Al who are interested in farming and
farm industries, whether directly engaged in
the dairy business or not ought to unite in de-
manding that a national law be enacted cover
ing food of authorizations, somewhat similar to
the laws of France and England on the same
subject
Second-The dairymen Of the west must
learn that nothing but the best creamery butter
viii be able to dislodge butterine, even were Il
sold on its merits and under its proper name
thy the retail grocers. The associated dairy
or creamery system must be fostered, enc0ur-
aged inc perpetuated Further than this we
must furnish this butter at a fair low price.
Third-The people must be taught what
good butter is by having plenty Of it offered to
them at q fair price. In addition 20 this .
great work of public education must be done
through the newspapers and Journals OF our
land, besring upon this bread and butter quea-
ton.
