Editor Register-It was my settled pur-
pose to have nothing more to say on the
creamery question and intended so to in
dictate in my last.
Mr.. Dorsey saw this, and evidently
|supposing that | was leaving the field be-
cause | could say nothing more. that
was out of ammunition, as it were, and
wanted to beat a retreat. and marshalling
| his forces he puts in regular broadside,
an unanswerable annihilator no doubt he
flatters himself.
will assure him, right here. that | am
| by no means out of ammunition. but am
prepared to follow him up on this line if
| it takes all summer. Such "A controversy
/ is extremely distasteful to me, but as
entered it in the interest of the farming
community and of truth. as | believed, |
shall maintain my position to the best of
my ability. | should forbear now to no
| tice the article of Mr.. Dorsey were it not
that it is a tissue of falsehood and misrepre-
sentation. and as | started out to defend
the truth cannot let it 90 unnotced.
do not say that Mr.. Dorsey is the author
of them. | trust he is not: but it is a
principle of Jurisprudence that where
wrong is committed and circumstances
point equally to two individuals as the
culprits, the one who can be shown to
have motive for the offence it adiudged
guilty.
1t is fortunate that have the evidence
in my possession to spot several of these
falsehoods, and as the evidenced have in
each and every case is to the point and
conclusive. | assume that the others are
Of the same nature and expect to know
positively in a few days.
Mr.. Dorsey says that D.. Whiting &
Son of Wilton mot Milton) n. H., dis
carded their separator on account of the
poor quality of the butter" Now it so
happened that | wrote to ID. Whiting &
Son for advice when we were considering
whether to invest or not and they re-
piled "We think it good machine and
that it will do all that is claimed for it !:
and if our business was not so large we
should be glad to use it." They say
they would need half dozen machines
to do their work. Is it to be supposed
that they would be glad to use it if it
ruined their butter? | think not.
Mr.. Dorsey quotes f. j. Oatman of
Oatman Bros, Dundee, H., as saying,
~ am satisfied that the machine will not
pay during the three summer months
when the fires are only wanted for eight
or ten hours out of the twenty-four.'
See now what they do actually say:
Gentlemen-It gives us pleasure to add our
testimony to the efficiency of your Danish
Weston cream separator in all its workings in
our creamery. one of these machines has
been in constant use tor the past thirteen
months where the milk used has been suf-
fcent to keep it running ten hours very many
days, and while the work done has been
leavy, the cost of repairs has been merely
nominal Am running nj present fourteen
hundred pounds per hour ana taking all the
at from the milk, chemical test just made
with the skinned milk shows not more than
trace OF fat, thus showing the perfect work
lone. We have run rs high rs 2GO pounds per
lour through the machine. We find ii not a,l-
visable to run so much when all the fat is de
tired. We are perfectly satisfied with the ma
chine, and can heartily recommend il to the
public. OATMAN BROS.
Dundee, Ill.
In another communication the Oatman
Brothers say that in their experience,
taking the summer and winter months
together, the separator will on an aver
ge make one pound of butter from each
90 lbs. of milk more than any other
ystem, and they have the figures ia
prove it. They are extensive operators
and have bought - separatOrs, and in
pne year used $1,000 900 pounds of milk,
making saving as they claim of 10000
pounds of butter by using the separators.
They are credited with making butter OF
he very best quality.
Mr.. Dorsey claims that Joseph II. Bros
