parutus to be criticised should be run accord
ing to directions, and when compared with
another one one, should he run with the same
milk and not at II different season of the year
when the milk Is richer. The centrifugal pco-
pie also advertise IL letter from Mr.. j. Glling-
ham, Nillanova, Pa, in which he said that
running with the small pans and Cooley
crcamcr in warm weather he made more but
ter than he did running in November with
the separator. See the deception III this
statement us every one knows that the
Cooley has repeatedly beaten small pans
from % to 100 per cent in the amount of butter
made, and in coupling small pans with the
Cooley, was not II fair statement And again,
every thinking dairyman knows that il re-
quircs less milk to made Il pound OF butter in
November than it does in warm weather
Now let us see what some other people say
about these machines, who have used them
Mr.. John Newman, Elgin, ILL.,, who uses four
DeLaval scparators, says, when pressed for
the results of his experience, that if he could
get plenty of ice ut II cost of from l50 to -
per ton, he would not have the machines. Mr.
Joseph Newman, Elgin, Ill., has four butter
factories and rs many DeLaval separators
Two men are required to run each machine
and take care of the milk cans. He says that
if he could get ice at ~ per ton he would have
no machines. Mr.. Ed Oatman of Oatman
Bros, Dundee, H., running both DcIaval and
Danish Weston, separators, says: 81 am sat
istied that the machine will not pay during
the three summer months when the fires are
only wanted for eight to ten hours ont of the
"a" During June from each 100 lbs of milk
crcamed by these, the Messrs. Oatman packed
35jlOO lbs ofbutter, equal to 26l lbs. of milk for
lb. of butter. The above facts are reported in
the Prairie Farmer of Aug 9, lSSi. Mr.. Joseph
II. Brossins, Octoraro, Pa, using the Danish
Weston separator, says: "IfI were starting
in the business again with dairy of 200 cows
would unhcstatingly use the Cooley above
all other systems have any knowledge Of
For II moderate-sizcd establishment would
recommend the Cooley because it makes bet
ter butter than can be done by the separator.
! have been in the butter business about 20
years, and claim that the butter made by the
Cooley system laid the foundation for my
present extensive trade" The Danish.wcs.
ton separator mt the Elmwood creamery ut
Elmwood, Conn, has not been running since
JAN. 1851 Mr. Norton, superintendent OF the
creamery, stated to the Connecticut State
Dairymcns association Jan. -, 1855, that the
butter produced from the separator was of in
idle tor a whole year. See the Hartford Cour
ant Jan. Is, lSSj, for IL report of the above
Messrs. D. Whiting Il Sons, Milton, y. H., dis
carded their separator on account fthe poor
quality of the butter, and it is for sale Mr.. A.
/. Campbell, Manchester, y. H., met with
such poor success that the separator has been
abandoned.
Mr.. Martin, superintendent of the Elm
wood creameries, informed the editor of the
Ne,r EngldHd Farmer that the product from
the centrifugal machine, both the quality of
the butter and the skim milk, was inferior to
that produced by the cold setting ut Farming
ton, and that the butter brings several cents
per Id. less than that made ut the Pennington
creamery. see Ner Engidnd Farmer OF Dec.
g. 1854, for report of the above
The centrifugal people claim that they can
make more butter than the Cooley. Let
us examine their records Il little. At the
great London Dairy show, in lSsi, the report
of which was published in the English igri-
cultural Gd+ette, the centrifugal machines
were in competition, Danish ana DeLaval.
The DeLaval was awarded the gold medal as
being the best machine. Please note here
that no other apparatus was allowed to com
pete; only ccntritugals were in this competi-
ton. Four machines were in the contest, one
DcLaval and three sizes of the Danish ma
chine. The analysis of the skim milk ut this
time showed 80 of one per cent of tat from the
DeLaval separator and the average OF the
three sizes of Danish machines was II of one
per cent of tat left in the skim milk, or .O4 OF
one per cent more than the DcLaval, which
took the gold medal These are the best anal.
Uses ever known in the centrifugal machine
rs reported in agriculture, the organ of the
DcLaval separator.
Now the analysis of the skim milk from the
Cooley creumcrs as given bv Dr. Babcock of
the New York Experiment Station in three
tests averaged .G3 of one per cent of fat left
in the skim milk, which is less than lilo of one
per cent, or only - rs much as the average
centrifugal analysis above reported. Relying
on this, it is evident that the Cooley outstrips
the separator.
Now tor their working in IA factory. Messrs.
John l., Bromley Sons factory ut West
vile Centre, Franklin Co., y. Y, averaged
with Cooley creamers to make pound OF
butter tor the full season, six months, of lSSj,
from q his of milk Mr. willis Forbes ut Fort
Covington, y. Y, the adjoining town OF West
vile, is running factory with centrifugal
machine and his average (for same time, six
months) was II pound of butter from . lbs. of
llllk, WHICH, IL VIII ne seen, Is more IMAM ~
per cent more than Bromley's factory required
for pound of butter in the next town. The
centrifugal people in advertising first prizes
in their special circular say that "the cash
premium offered by the DeLaval Separator
Co.. and l.. Is. Lespinasse Tor the best tub OF
butter on exhibition, was won by smith, Pow
ell Lamb of syracuse, \. Y. enthusiastic
indorserS and users OF the DcLaval separa-
tor" lfit is II fact that ST. Lamb use the
DcLaval separator, they have no confidence
in il rs making first quality of butter, rs there
is letter from them stating that the butter
that won the premiums $50 extensively adj
vertisetD at the Fat stock show, held in Chi
cago in November last, was all made from
cream raised by cold setting. This shows
concnsively that they have no confidence
that the separator cream will make tirstcass
butter. | will ullude to one more article, pub
lished in the interest of the centrifugal ma
chine to show the practice of its advocates
in misleading the public. The letter OF Mr..
\. ID. Evarts of Nergennes, VT, published in
the Mirror dHd Farmer of Aug. 20, lsS5, stated
that he made in "A week from 260 to go lbs.
more OF butter from his dairy with the centri-
fugal machine than he made in the Cooley.
That statement is II talsehood, for Mr.. Evarts
