Advantages of the Process Over the Meth
ods of the Last Generation.
Among the recent improvements in
the dairy. none have surpassed in real
value to the farmer or dairyman the
adoption of the creamery process of
butter making.
The system OF setting milk in deep
cans in creamers has brought relief
from much labor on the part of the
housewife, and it has added to the in
come of the farmer. This is true even
If the butter is manufactured ''at
home" 1t is further advantageous if
the butter is manufactured at a
creamery" or butter factory.
What are some of the advantages of
creamery process of butter-making,
over the system Cor lack of system)
pursued by our grandfathers?
a. In the deep setting process more
cream is obtained from IL given guam
tity of milk than in the shallow-pan
system. This is, in part, to be ex-
planned by the fact that the use of ice
in the summer is more convenient. and
cooling of the milk to the proper tenn
perature is necessary to the best re-
suits. Ice is sine qua non almost, in
profitable butter-making.
(2.) The butte product being of a.
high and uniform grade Gf the butter
maker is competenD brings better
prices. The creamery being furnished
with all modern facilities for butter
making, other things being equal. II
better product is assured. First-class
creamery butter need not go begging
for market.
(3.) Labor is removed from the
farmer and mis- wife. and transferred
to the creamery where one man,
with improved machinery. can do the
work of many men and women, and do
it better. The care of the milk, cream
and butter from u dairy of ten, twenty
or fifty COWS, is burdensome to any
housekeeper who is obliged to UNDER
take it. The removal of the burden is
u blessing.
a. AS contrasted with milk factor
les where the whole milk is conveyed
to the Uame by the farmer, and the
cream and milk there separated. the
advantage is in favor of selling the
cream only. the skim-mill1 being left
on the farm where it can be used to feed
the swine, or for other purposes.
o. An indirect advantage of this
system is the general improvement of
tho 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 of many de-
pleted farm.
The question may be aslsed How
shall dairying by the creamery process
be rendered most profitable?
a. Tho farmer should stock up 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 if he now has none. Ice is
a necessity, almost, as we have said.
(3.) He should feed literally and
never expect that he can get milk out
OF 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
(4) Provide some green food when
The summer pastures are scorched and
dry, such as sweet corn or rye us soil
Ing crop. This helps to bridge over
The dry season.
(5) Make a silo and fill it with good
corn for ensilage. Here is the secret
Of successful winter dairying. A cheap
'ilo is just as good us II costly one.
(6.) Take great pains to have the
milk uncontaminated by any stable
doors. and free from every taint that
nay make it, when it reaches the but
,er stage, unsalable.
These, and other suggestions which
he intelligent dairyman will carefully
consider. will be found helpful in max
ng butter-making profitable. IN. Y.
