NhntlReS Oh tlc sop tOl system may Dc SulIl
med up rs follows:
!. There is saving of fully onehalf the
travel to the patrons, for the cream can be
separated at any time before the milk sours;
so that, except i'm the very hottest weather, it
need not DO brought to the factory oftcner
than once day and late in the fall only once
in two days.
II. There is a saving of ut least onc-halfin
the capacity of the buildings necessary for the
factory.
III. And also II saving of not less than half
the labor in the factory.
". A saving of three -fourths the ice, to say
the least
V. An increase of product variously stated
of from five to twenty per cent.
VI. The making of II product not excclled
in any respect by the product of any other
system.
| will now review the testimony upon which
/ have based my conclusions. On every point
the evidence is cumulative and shall give
only small part in my possession.
First-As to the saving of travel TO the pat
rons The practice of carrying the milk but
once day was pursued mt the two crcamer-
les in New Haven the past season and am in
formed by the manufacturers and patrons
gave general satisfaction. Late in autumn
/
| Landon's factory at New Haven Mills.
.Second-As to the capacity of the buildings
necessary for the factory. Less than onc-half
the utensils are required in II factory using
this system, and as II consequence less room
in the same proportion is needed.
7hird-As to the saving of labor. Mr.. Wink.
Graham of Sussex, New Brunswick says that
| for the space of two months he separated and
manufactured over 1000 lbs. of milk daily,
sisted only bya boy, who also acted as cngin-
Ger. BY any other system four men at least
would be required to do the same amount of
work.
Fourth-Thc saving of ice can but be appar-
cnt to amy one; and on this point no tcsti-
mony is called tor.
FUHt-As to the increase of product. j. and
j. Darlington of Darling, Penn, say that .the
three scparators which they have run for two
years pay for themselves every thirty days.
giving an increase of ten per cent over ice
methods. The Darlingtons are among the
foremost dairymcn in the country, their but
ter bringing the highest price OF any made in
the United States. They say of the separators
that "they are like an old fiddle-thc longer
they wear the better they get" The sccrc-
tary of the Oneida community says they are
getting 40 per cent more butter than prcv-
IN.
ii. X Brownbuck of Paramount, Chester Co.,
Penn, says: owe are realizing over a pound
more butter to the 100 pounds of milk than by
the setting process and the butter is better
in every way" This is a gain of at least 20
per cent.
Sicth-As to the quality of the product /
would say that have taken especial pains to
ascertain the facts upon this point, as parties
| Interested in other systems a manufacture
have labored hard to create the impression
that butter made by this process was very de
fectve especially in its keeping qualities. !
shall give only the testimony OF my own cor
respondents. Mr.. c. w. Gould of Elgin, H.,
who probably has had more experience with
the separator than any other man, writes me
that butter made by this method equals that
made by any other and adds: "lf you are
making butter on II large scale, we would adj
wise you to use this machine"
Tram G. Reed of syracuse, y. Y, says, "ThC
separator is Indispensable to and are
using butter now dec. 20 which made in
June and it is rs fine as you could ask for"
Henry l.. Mills, II son of l.. Mills long
connected with the Rutland & Burlington rail
road, writes me from East Midway, Mass.
Mass, that they are using two separators and
that all their butter is made by this system
and that it keeps better than butter made by
other systems. He adds that GOV. Smith %
Vermont has three separators in use in that
place.
Mrs. VIM. +. Samson. a lady well known il
this community, writes me from SaratOgt
Springs where she, in connection with hel
deceased husband, retailed good deal ofbut
! ter made by the Weybridge centrifugal
creamery and by Mr.. Evarts of Nergennc'
: the past season 81 have taken some pain,
to inquire OF those using the separator cream
cry butter, and but one opinion is given ant
that is, it is the most reliable butter in tn,
market for its keeping qualities rs well alsC
for its flavor"
Clark Bros, of Worcester, Mass who hav,
handled a large share of the butter made n
' the two centrifugal creameries in New HavcI
the past season, write me: ave can say fo
, the centrifugal butter that we never saw any
better butter made in any other way thar
what we have had from Evarts and Landont
creameries. We never saw butter keep any
better than this kind does. This has been GU
first season to handle their goods and every
one we have sold to has liked them. We shall
be glad to handle all You can make. Cream
cry butter is growing more in demand ever,
1 year and common dairy butter will not b,
wanted ut the price of 'oleo' in a few years
one point more ana am done. How doe
the centrifugal separator butter stand the ties
when submitted to experts to pass upon it
comparative merits? At the American Dair,
show, recently held in Chicago, it took tn,
grand sweepstakes premium for butter mad
: at any time Kibourne Bros, of Oswego, Ill.
l getting the prize. The first second and thir,
premiums on butter made in May or June ef
I fcctually settled the question of its kcepin;
i qualities. The second premium on best tw,
: tubs of butter made anywhere by any process
: The cash premium for the best tub of butte
on exhibition was awarded Smith, Powell
Lamb of syracuse, \. Y, enthusiastic
users and endorsers ofthe DeLaval separator
, In addition To the above the De Laval cream
u separator was awarded the highest prize Of
j fered-a handsome silver medal.
II That an implement so novel and in its work
ing so incomprehensble to the ordinary min
l. should have made such progress in popularit
> in such short space of time speaks volume
for its future, and it will be well for ever
. dairyman to fully investigate its merits fo
himself and not take the SaV-SO of of any ind
