THE CREAMERY SYSTEM.
Advantages of the Process Over the Meth
ods of the Last Generation.

dds of the Last Generation.
Among the recent Improvements in
the dairy, none have surpassed in real
value TO the farmer or dalryman the
adoption of the creamery process Of
butter-making.
The system OF setting milk in deep
cans IA creamers has brought relief
from much labor on the part OF the
housewife, and il has added to the in
come OF the farmer. This is true even
II the butter is manufactured lat
home" Ii is further advantageous il
the butter is manufactured at
creamery" or butter factory.
What are some of the advantages of
creamery. presSss ~~~s-
over the system (orNacK or syseemJ-
pursued by our grandfathers?
a. In the deep setting process more
cream is obtained from given guam
tity Of milk than in the shallow pan
system. This is. in part, TO be ex-
plained by the fact that the use of ice
in the summer is more convenient, and
cooling of the milk 10 the proper tenn
perature is necessary to the best re-
suits. Ice is IA sine qua non almost, in
profitable butter-making.
(2.) The butter product being of a
high and uniform grade tif the butter
maker is competen) brings better
prices. The creamery being furnished
with all modern facilities for butter
making, other things being equal,
better product is assured. First-class
creamery butter need not go begging
for market.
(3.) Labor Is removed frOm tho
farmer and his wife, and transferred
to the creamery where one man,
with improved machinery, can do tho
work OF many men and women, and do
it better. The care of the milk, cream
and butter from dairy OF ton, twenty
or fifty cows, is burdensome to any
housekeeper who is Obliged to under
take it. The removal Of the burden i
a blessing
a. As contrasted with milk factor.
les where the whole milk is conveyed
to the nme by the farmer, and th1
cream and milk there separated, the
advantage is in favor. OF selling the
cream only, tho skim-milk being left
on the farm where it can be used to feed
the swine, or for other purposes.
(5.) An indirect advantage OF this
system is the general Improvement of
the farm, owing to the keeping thereon
of more cows, which is rendered prac-
ticable in many cases only by the
transfer of labor from farm to factory.
Dairying is the salvation fmany de-
pleted farm.
The question may be asked; How
shall dairying by the creamery process
be rendered most profitable?
Q.) The farmer should stock ap his
form with some If not all, pure-bred
cows OF the Jersey or other excellent
milk-producing breeds.
(2.) He should build an ice-house
forthwith il he now has none. Ice is
necessity, almost, rs we have said,
(3.) lie should feed literally and
never expect that he can get milk out
OF a COW without putting something in
her to make It. 1t pays to grain cows
the year round, and always furnish
them with an abundance of good water.
a. Provide some green food when
the summer pastures are scorched and
dry, such as sweet corn or rye as a soil
ing crop. This helps TO bridge over
the dry season.
(5.) Make a silo and fll it with good
corn for ensilagc Here Is the secret
OF successful winter dairying, A cheap
silo is just as good "a n costly one
co. Take great pains 10 have the
milk uncontaminated by any stable
odors and free from every taint that
may make it, when it reaches the but
ter stage, unsuitable.
These and other suggestions which
the intelligent dairyman will carefully
consider will be found hcipiuI In max
