This is over six pounds of butter to 100
pounds of milk, and if it injured the but

1t is hardly to be supposed that these
men falsificd and were double dealers in
this matter, as fail to see any motive
for so doing.
This is the outcome of three of the
cases quoted by Mr.. Dorsey and | expect
the other cases to prove i'll similar manner.

the achievement of the manufacturers in
selling from 80 to 10000 of the Cooley
creamers to the farmers, which is only
another illustration of the gullibility of
the American public. As prominent
daryman said to me few weeks ago,
10000 farmers got awfully cheated. If
the creamers gave good satisfaction and
the farmers got their moneys worth,
nothing need be said, but they do not

half of the 10000 in use. There are
eleven private ones within few miles of
me, seven of which know are thrown
aside and think one of the others. The
fact is, they are sold upon false repre-
sensations as to the labor and expense of
running them, and disappointment and
disgust are the result. The venerable
Merrill Bingham told me, after reading
my last article, that might have added
his to the list of Cooleys set aside. He
said that after using it while his wife
thought it was not doing as well as they
had been accustomed to do with small
pans, so they tested it by dividing their
milk, setting one-half in the Cooley and
one-half in small pans. The result was
the small pans did good deal the best
and the Cooley creamer was set aside.
No doubt Mr.. Dorsey could buy it very
cheap.
Captain Franklin and l.. f. Moore of
Shoreham have Cooley creamer. as |
am informed by one of their neighbors,
and the first season they used it they
were out of ice in midsummer and the
next season it was Just the same, making
it useless to them the balance of the sea-
son. for it cannot be run successfully
without ice Perhaps the Messrs. Moore
have enlarged their ice-house to three
times its original capacity, as it would
be necessary for the waste of ice in the
ice-house the last of the season by melt
ing would be about one-half) for the sake
of using the Cooley Dreamer, but very
much doubt it. They are men of too
much sense.
Mr.. Dorsey makes the statement. to
prove that the Cooley does so much bet
ter than the separator, that Atwood Il
Jones, proprietors of the West Salisbury
creamery, using the Cooley, paid on an
average - cents per hundred for the
milk they bought, while Evarts' separa-
tor creamery paid only GO 2-3 cents per
hundred.
Now make the assertion without fear
of contradiction that Atwood Il Jones
patrons did not receive - cents per hun
bred for their milk on an average. If we
take their monthly prices and add them
up and divide the amount by the number
of months they run, - cents is the result
but this does not show the average the
patrons got. For instance, they paid for
the month of June - cents hundred (at
"A large loss to them, as they say) and so
cents in October.
Now they probably received more than
they did in October at so cents. Again,
they paid 50 cents in July and 81 in Nov
ember, but they only ran Il few days in
November and Il large share of their pat
rons had discontinued bringing their
milk, so that they probably got ten times
| the milk at 90 cents per hundred that
they did at 81. This would reduce the
average actually received by their patrons
very nearly or quite to the amount
! EVarts' patrons received. When Atwood
q Jones will take the whole amount of
money paid their patrons and divide it by
the whole amount of milk bought of
them, it will give the true average, and
in no other way can the true result be
reached. Yours truly,
