Whether it is his intention to deceive the pub.
lie by misstatement or not, will leave others
to Judge.
The representatives of the separator ut the
Iowa Butter and Cheese association held ut
strawberry Point, Feb. 10, 20 and 2l lSSi,
claimed that they could make over 10 per cent
more butterthan the Cooley creamcrs and 20
per cent more than other settings and of bet
ter quality. Mr.. John Boyd, who is the West.
ern manufacturer of the Cooley crcamer, was
present and offered to put up $1,000 that the
separator could not equal the Cooley in guam.
tity or quality. A resolution was passed by
the association that II committee of five be APP.
pointed to superintend such test The com.
mittee was appointed but the centrifugal PEG.
pie nave never got ready to have the test.
The record of this resolution can be found on
page l0l of the report of that association for
1854.
have shown from facts that cannot be sue.
cessfully denied that the centrifugals in the
same sections in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire have been compelled to stop on
account of the inferiority OF the product, and
the superiority of the Cooley; also in Frank.
lin Co., n. Y, that centriiugals and Cooley
running side by side, the Cooley has beaten
the centrifugals more than 10 per cent.
If Mr.. Douglas is not satisfied with this, let
him come right into this locality, and take
Mr.. Evarts' centrifugal factory, which paid on
an average only 6629 cents per hundred for
milk and Atwood Il Jones' West Salisbury
Cooley milk factory that paid on an average
10 cents per hundred for milk. This shows
that the Cooley paid IL l5 per cent more than
Mr.. Evarts' centrifugal Are these near
enough to suit Mr.. Douglas and is not II >
per cent worth saving? These are milk fac.
tories. The cream-gathering factories are
more equitable than milk factories, as every
dairyman gets paid according to the quality
of his milk as well as the quantity. The best
dairymen cannot afford to put their milk in
with the poor. Mr.. Evarts actions prove this,
rs he does not put his milk into the factory.
Can Mr.. Evarts' words overcome his actions?
Every sensible man answers, no.
Mr. Evarts says that the quantity of milk re.
quired for n pound of butter in the Cooley
cream gathering plan is not known, but is as
srmed. This is not correct. The amount is
based upon those who kept account OF the
amount of milk set. If Mr. Evarts is not sat.
isficd with this, let him take the Franklin Co.
O. y factory, which required only 81 pounds
of milk, less than is claimed for the Massa.
chusctts and Connecticut factories. / agree
with Mr.. .Evarts that it is wiser to give the
whole truth and trust that he will do so in the
future. Mr.. Douglas talks about "crack
creamerics" and wants to compare them with
"Darlingtons" private dairy. This is an al.
mission that there are no ''crack creameries''
running with centrifugals If he wishes to
compare with Cooley private diaries, | will
take II committee of three appointed by the
farmers of this section to diaries getting from
15c to Sl00 per pound tor their butter, and il
they report that the butter is not superior to
the Darlingtons will pay all expenses il he
will agree to pay the expenses if they report
that ii is not as good rs Darlingtons.
1t is an open secret that the Darlingtons'
butter is not as fine quality lie it was before
they introduced the centrifugals.
