of a grand age, rendered this possible. The

IA Picrsol, of Monroe City. Mo-. started o
discussion on the best, methods OF running
creamelies. 1t 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 farmers
! lear ned they could manipulate their cream &c
show a larger percentage Of butter on the
gauge than there really was.
Mr.. Addy explained the Shock & Bolandei
test to obviate This difficulty. 1t is in use al
the Darlington Creamery in Illinois. The col
lector takes a sample of the cream offered by
the farmer in quart jar, seas it and puts
number On it. The contents of the jar are put
in a churning box made to hold half a gallon
and churned. 1t ought to make eight Ourcee
of butter perhaps. but the result will ydr!s
from four to twelve ounces. By this method
the exact butter producing quality OF the
| cream is determined, and the farmer is paid
accordingly.

ernOOn, Mr.. (ampbell read an essay on En-

ensilage system.
There was a short discussion on the subject.
Prof. sanborne: MI. sawyer had tried en-.

thought the f., ed was better than anything but
\ az and June grasses. His cows had given &C
pounds of milk a day, and the butter result.
ing was III. or % pounds a week while he was
not feeling 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 lhrt e pounds. Prof. SanbO lie
said the cas was too great for the result.

per on the Best method of supplying cities

as pure unskimmed milk that contained but
ten per cent. of solids. while it should have
contained not less than 12H per cent. and
might have contained I4H per cent. of solids.
An average of 1879 per cent of solids can rea.
sonably be demanded by the buyer in this mar.
| difference between milk containing 10 per
cent. and 13 per cent. in solids is over q per
cent. In London, England. if the percentage
of solids is not up to 11.5 and 2.5 of fat the
dealer is prosecuted for adulteratiOn.
Prof. Sanborne said that the London stand.
ards were too high, as he had seen analyseso Of
milk from healthy COWS that showed nine per

but the faiiure of milk in analysis to come up
to the proper standard doesn't prove il has
been watere0, % the surrounding conditions
of ne COW, her iced, ETC., effect the richness of
the milk.
