THE DAIRY.

--Churn often II you would have
sweet butter. - Farm. Field and Stock,

The deeper milk Is set, the less
airing the cream gets while rising

-Good salt tastes better than poor
butter, but good butter tastes ten times
better than the best salt. t.-Agricuiture.
Have your milking performed in
a clcanly manner, so that the operator
can stomach it' to drink himself, and
occasionally test him. - Prairie Farmer.
Cream makes better butter to rise
In cold air than to rise in cold water,
but 1t will rise sooner in cold water,
and the milk will keep sweet longer

"A calf that is raised in the dairy
fed on skim milk and kept in small
pasture where but little travelling is
done, makes the best steer. when but
two or three years old. 1t is shorter

has followed the COW upon the range
when suckling.-F'arm and Field.
While cheese-making does not re-
quire any more skill than butter-mak-
ing, yet in the country we find very
few people who know how to mako
first-class cheese. This is because
cheese has not been studied. There is
no question in our minds but that
through the heated season cheese pays
better than butter. Field and Farm.

year-old record. She has given during

record was 23,775 pounds, made three
years ago by the COW Echo, owned at
Attica, N. Y.-Boston Globe.
There are no men on the earth who
deserve better butter that 'the poor"

and, lest they insult them by insinua-
ting they are unable to pay big price
for their butter, they put it to them at
creamery prices. -HoGrd's DairymGn.
The problem is not only how much
butter per acre, but how much butter
per one thousand pounds of live weight.
We want the COW that turns out the
most product on the least feed-that is,
that most completely digests, assimi-

Butter Fifty Years Old.

A writer tells the following story
about crock Of butter which was kept
nice and sweet for fifty years. Mrs.
Jupp, who was a famous dairy-woman
near Albany half u century ago, used to
lower her butter into a we'll on the
promises which was noted for its very
cold water. Mrs. Jupp would leave the
butter hanging in the water for several
hours, and when taken out 1t would be
as hard and cold rs ice. One day in
1884 she was coverings crock of butter
into the well, when the rope broke and
the crock fell to the bottom. No effort
was ever made to recover it. For the
first time In it's history this well became
almost dry during the recent long
drought. A few days ago the present
owner was cleaning the well out when
he found the crock Mrs. Jupp had lost
fifty years ago. In taking the crock
from the well the finder accidentally
broke it. Itwas about ono.quartor full
of butter, which was as solid and sweet
as 1t was the day It was put down halt
q century ago.-Popuiar Science.

SMALL PROFITS.
Why Many Alleged Dalrymen Fail to
Make Both Ends Meet.

Why Many Alleged Dairymen Fail to
Make Both Ends Meet.
Mr.. j. Wallace, proprietor of one of
the leading Iowa creameries, issues a
thoughtful circular to his patrons on
the causes of the low profits of dairy
ing. This is praiseworthy act on the
part of Mr.. Wallace, and it would be
vastly to the interest of cooperative
dairying If there was more of this spirit
of discussion and interchange of views.
But in our opinion Mr.. Wallace has
not touched the real cause of the low
profit of dairying to the creamery pat
ron. If we should sum it up in nut
shell we would say it is because, as a
rule, he is not dairyman and is not
willing to eXpend either the time,
thought or money to make one of him
.self. How can a man go into the silk
business, the iron business or any other
kind of business without making any
special effort to understand it except
to make money out of it.
Dairy farming, or if you please COW
farming, is a specific business just
A large proportion of the patrons Of
the West in general are ordinary far
mers, just emerged from wheat grow
ing, and as rule they don't see any
need of special dairy education to make
a success of producing and making
cream. We know this to be true, for
the reason that it is extremely difficult to
get them to spend a small sum even in
the purchase of printed matter where
these important questions are discussed.
Such being the case and showing as
little interest as they do in their own
salvation, how can they expect to make
money in time of low prices for cream
or butter. Yet we know OF plenty of
well-posted dairymen who in these
times are making three times the money
on the production of cream that the
average patron is. This shows plainly
that the mischief with the patron Is
his poor understanding of his business:
Take one cause of the many that
effect Mr.. Wallace's patrons Just
as they do the patrons of the majority
or other creameries. We allude to the
amount of cream they get per COW.
Now one of the things well-posted
dairyman always does is to milk good
cow. He won't have q poor unprofit-
able cream producer about him. He
goes right to work at the outset to
study how to get her, and last how to
care for her. He knows, that as true
as fate, If he makes any money in
times of low prices he must have a
COW that produces large amount of
milk. and he must feed and care for
her so she can produce large amount.
When all the cows in certain Iowa
creamery are of such a poor unprofit-
able character that they average only
twenty-five dollars each in the sale Of
cream for an entire season, any man of
sense knows that the trouble is with
the patron. Such men don't know
what it is to be COW farmers. and just
as long as they continue in that frame
of mind they can never make money
from the COW. There is only one road
out of this slough, and that is for
them to commence to study what it
means to be dairyman. -Hoards
