II u. Hoard of Montevideo, Mimi, in paper
on skim milk farming, compared wheat and
dairy farming. Showed the cost Of raising
wheat IN upper Mississippi valley, and stated
that In his county about 100000 bushels Of
wheat are raised annually, bringing in Chicago
about $500, COG. It costs s15O, 900 to send this
wheat eaass e to market leaving about $40 net
tho result would be much better il farmers
would turn their attention to dairying instead.
@. Dexter of Chicago followed with paper
on DETERMINATIONS for the Promotion Of Special
objects with special reference to organizations
Vice President P. A. McKinstry Of Winneba-
80 City, Mimi. read q paper entitled tsShortage
IN the Creamery Gathering System. sd
q BY the term Of shortage, as used by creamery
men, we mean that in buying certain quality
of cream, which has been supposed to make
gwen quantity OF butter, and it fails to do so,
we say we are short on butter; Or, in other
words, We bought cream enough to make SO
many pounds Of butter, according to the stand
ard rules, and it failed to make it
He 81 said s:t the shortage
reported in Iowa for the year 1889 was 4 per
cent on al tho butter manufactured BY the
cream-gather creameries running ON the
gauge, where have no;doubt that it was fully
as much for 1883 in Minnesota. What is the
remedy for the creamey mani / know of none
that can be adopted and deal justly with each
patron except the test churn plan he conclu--
ded BY saying that unless the manufacturing
shortage shall be done away, cream buying is
o failure in, Minnesota II - $50 4; Z
"a W. B. Strnight did not wish the idea to 20
abroad that the shrinkage was due to difference
in cream instead of the amount OF milk turned
into cream. Mr.. Johnson of Illinois asked for
instructions how to secure uniform Swimming.
Mr.. McKinstry answere - { y;
By having milk SKINNED daily by same per-
BON and at same hour Of day. He collected
cream for his creamery every second or third
day. Used a preseryative, which the gatherer
adds as he brochures the cream, which holds
ing cream thick ens as it grows sour; sweet
cream is thin. Butter from small Cummings
does not granulate as well or as rapidly as that
from larger churnings open my cream jars
and stir cream frequently and leave exposed to
air, for the reason that the cream takes up o1y-
President Hoard stated that: z 81 yts:
y. One of the secrets OF Cream shortage was
the effect of the churn on cream. Ii In the sea-
son of succulent food the churn receives it's
dra proportion Of butter. By feeding roots,
eusllage and succulent food the churn will do
hay to ripen too much and grow woody are de-
nying to the churn the proper returns it's should
receive. 80 M n {: =. sf3 n

by D. W. Carter, ut the Wisconsin Dairy men's
