A STUDY IN BUTTER.
From The New.EngIand IIomestea

From The England homestead
Prof. /. b. Arnold, the first dairy au-
thority of America, was one of the eX-
pert judges at the Bay State fair, and was
aided by Edward Norton, superintendent
of Pennington (Ct.) creamery. Prof.
Arnold remarked to us that he found the
exhibit as a whole of very superior quail
ity. Had it not been that the butter was
contaminated bv absorbing odors from
the horse stable near by, Prof. Arnold
says quite a number would have ranked
100, and as it was he never judged better
butter. He thinks we salt too much, or
else we work the butter too dry and re-
tain all the salt Our usual sailing, one
ounce to the pound, he would consider
about right if the butter was worked
quite moist so that considerable salt was
lost. lie thinks butter-makers make IA
practice of working butter too much.
The Judges knew neither the exhibitor
nor method of manufacture of the butter
they passed upon. But as Prof. Arnold
is an earnest believer in the Cooley sys-
tenn, he was not surprised to find that the
only butter marked "perfection" or 100,
was made from milk raised in the Cooley
creamery and churned in the Davis
swing churn. This was granular butter
from the famous dairy of Alfred Rodman,
Dedham. Mass. whose butter sells at soc
per h. The creamery butter that scored
the most points, 81 per cent. was from
the Shelburne Falls (Mass.) cooperative
creamery. the Windsor (Ct.) creamery
coming next with 96 points. Two points
were deducted from each of these sam
pies because of the odor absorbed from
the horse department. These two cream
cries did not enter any large lots, because
the market consumed their product as
fast as made, the samples shown being
merely an average taken from their daily
make. These creamerics are both CO.
operative and run on the Cooley cream
gathering system, the Davis swing churn
and Eureka butter-worker being used.
As the competition was very sharp, and
included butter from the De Laval and
Danish-W centrifugals, this is a
handsome victory for the Cooley cream
gathering system.

1850 and 16 pounds for 1880, per capita.
There has been an enormous increase of
orchard and garden products, small fruits,
poultry and eggs. The census of 1850
gave the value of orchard products at a
little less than SS,000,000 products of
market gardens, $5,2S0,000. According
to the last census the value of orchard
products was nearly SOL 100000, and
market garden products S22 ,O00,0OO.
Within the past five years, it is well
known, small fruits have been grown in
such quantities as frequently to glut the
markets and bring down the price be-
low the cost of production. Statistics of
poultry and eggs were taken for the first
time in the census of 1880. A surprising
number of barnyard fowls were found
in all, over 100,000,000 that had been
wintered 1t is evident that since the
last census there has been great in
crease in the quantity of poultry kept upon
farms. Last winter, through the best of
the season, the markets were overstock-
ed with dressed poultry, and prices were
consequently low.
Statistics prove that there is no de-
cline in agriculture, but rather an over
production which makes farming at this
time less profitable than it should be to
meet increased expenses and to cores
pond with the higher remuneration de-
manded and obtained in other occupa-
tions. That it is not for the farmers in
terest to encourage others to become
farmers, as is done by ninety-nine out of
every hundred writers. is plain infer
ence from the facts we have given. \
man who seems to have Il rare compre-
hension of the situatiOn--the one out of
hundred-Mr. Edmund Hirsey, says :
"Why should writers be continually
trying to force every one into the farm
ing business by rose-colOred statements?
We already have farmers enough to grow
all the grain and other products we need,
and great surplus besides. The true
friend of the farmer is not so anxious to
circulate information that will encourage
every one to 90 into the business of farm
ing as he is to better the condition of
those who are already in the business"

AS TO FREE WOOL.

No one of the assertions made in the
free trade interests, remarks the Textile
Record, involves a greater affront to pop
ular intelligence than the oft-repeated
statement that American manufacturers
are hampered by duties upon raw materi-
ais. This is always coupled with the
further statement that "Other manu-
featuring nations do not tax raw mater
ials." The answer to both of these
allegations is conclusive: We do not tax
raw materials which are not produced in
our own country. Other nations do not
tax raw materials, simply because other
nations cannot produce from their own
resources sufficient supply of such
materials. 1t would be idiotic for Eng
land to tax cotton. 1t would be folly for
either England or Germany to tax wool,
for neither of them can grow wool enough
to supply its wants. But we grow cot
ton enough for the whole world, and we
can readily do the same thing with wool.
The question is: Is it a wise policy to
try to make ourselves Independent in
such matters? The mass of Americans
think it is wise; but we will never main
tain sufficient home supply of wool if
we permit Australian and South Amerl-
can wool to come in free. The free-trad-
ers make the mistake of comparing coun-
tries of very narrow natural resources
with countries which have boundless
capacities, as ours has.

LOW PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS
THE CAUSE

If we compare the present prices of
farm products with the prices of the same
% or 30 years ago, with few exceptions.
we find them lower now than then: but
the actual difference is much greater than
it appears nominally. Though a dollar
will now purchase more of many things
which a farmer has to buy. the demands
upon his purse have largely increased
Nearly every kind of business, unless
farming is an exception, demands and
obtains greater profits than formerly.
Official salaries have been raised; high
grade professional service is paid for at
extravagant rates; the smart preacher
wants the price of good farm for years
work saving souls; the physician
charges have been increased three-fold
the lawyer is not behind either of these
in keeping up with the times in his de-
mands; the high school masters salary
has been trebled, and tuition at the acad-
envy is twice or thrice as much as it was
30 years ago.
As consequence of more intelligent
culture, the farmers income, in spite OF
low prices, may sometimes be increased
but the increase of income. if any. bears
no proportion to the increased demands
upon it. nor to the increase of paw for
official and professional service. nor ia
the increase of profits expected in other
kinds of business. TO maintain his for
mer equality in the race. the farmer
should have about two dollars for his
and public speakers have made great
amount of talk about the decline of az
riculture, the exhaustion of the soil, etc.
the "etc." standing for more nonsense.
The fact is, there is an Over-prOduction
in agriculture. Rapid as has been the
increase of population, it has not kept
pace with the increase of products from
the farms. Were not this the fact. very
high prices would now be obtained for
these products, and farmers would share
more in the general prosperity of the
592 ,O00,0 900 bushels of corn; in 1880, !, =
754 100000. The crop of 1850 was about
26 bushels to each inhabitant; that of
1880, about 80 bushels to each inhabitant
In 1850 the production of wheat in the
United States was l00,000,000 bushels
in 1880 it was 459, 900, 000-less than -
bushels in 1850 and more than bushels
in 1850 to each inhabitant. In 1850 the
sheep of the United State yielded about
2 IA pounds of wool to each person; the
wool product had increased in 1880 to a
little more than three pounds to each one
of 50,000,0 900 inhabitants. There were
raised of Irish potatoes in 1880 &C, 1000, 900
bushels-less than three bushels to each
person; in 1880 the crop was 100000 00C
bushels-more than 3 Ia bushels to each
person. Dairy products have also in
creased more than the ratio of increase
in population. The number of pounds
of butter made in the United States, as
reported in the census of 1880, was $685.
