setting, q considerable loss of butter
results. But this is not true when
the separator is used. A test made
here last winter showed that of two
similar samples of milk, one separated
immediately after milking, the other
allowed to stand twelve hours, then
warmed and separated, the latter
gave slightly better results. sfa
Beginning April Sth and ending
Nav 18th, student of tue senior
class has been conducting, under my
surveillance, a series of ten tests to
compare yield of milk set in Fair
lambs cans with product when run
through hand separator. The gain In
the latter case was about l Il per cent.
That is, under like conditions, the
farmer who, setting his milk, makes
100 pounds of butter could from the
same milk by use of centrifugal ma
chine make about lll4pounds. When
butter IS worth 25 cents per pound,
the gain amounts to nearly So for
every hundred pounds.
A single, but similar test, made
at the New Hampshire Expert
ment Station between the Cooley can
(cold setting) and the hand separator
showed gain of about II per cent.
from using centrifuge.
In the last few months firm from
Chicago has built several large cream
cries in this State, one costing So, 500,
another $4,000. Visiting one of
these few days since, I found that
the farmers set all the milk at home,
the factory's wagons collecting only
the cream. Its wagons run Is or 20
miles in any direction. Of course this
system, because of saving of transpor
tation, has some advantage in country
where the COWS are remote from the
factory.
But where 100 or more COWS can be
engaged within a radius of three or
four miles, the separator will be most
profitable in the South. But let no
community be startled at such figures
as those just given. l have worked
in and visited some of the creameries
in Mississippi, of which there are now
Is or 20, and most of them cost less
than $1,000, building, equipment, and
all complete. Such creameries can
handle the milk of 800 COWS. Bulli-
tin No, 5, recently issued by the Texas
Experiment Station, contains careful
estimates, plans, and specifications for
a creamery to cost less than 81, 200,
with capacity of $50 pounds of but

For The Progressive Farmer.
THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.
[By Prof. j. F. Duggar, of Texas.l

by Prof. j. F. Duggar, of Texas.l
l seldom see anything in your paper
concerning the dairy industry. But
believing this to be of much Importance
in the South, and regarding stock
raising as the cheapest way to restore
the fertility of our worn lands, write
this with the hope of drawing out the
experience of other subscribers. Nor
must your readers suppose that con-
ditions in Texas and in North Caro-
lima are altogether different. Eastern
and Central Texas is no longer coun-
try of ranches and unfenced prairies.
This brazos country is farming
country. Though its bottoms are
rich, yet the uplands require manur-
ing as liberal as is needed in some of
the older States. Nor is our climate
totally unlike yours. The yearly rain
fall at this place is 35 inches, and we
are not in the belt subject to pro-
tracted drought.
But to return to my subject: Two
years ago there was not a creamery
In Texas. Then Kansas, Illinois, New
York and other Northern States fur
nished this article to our 100000
people, taking away in exchange our
cash with which to build up other
States. One year ago the second
creamery in the State was built here
at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College. During all of this season my
class in dairy practice has numbered
from twelve to twenty-five students.
Many of these are now competent to
'HBke charge of creameries.
We use De Laval Separators, both
power and hand machines. We are
especially pleased with our vertical
hand separator, which seems only the
better for a years wear, running
easier now than at first. This cost
$3.50 and skins 25 to 80 gallons per
hour
This, think, is the coming machine
for the Southern small dairy farmer;
one who has Is to so cows can i'll
afford to do without it, or several
families might have the milk from
their several cows separated by the
same machine. By so doing they
would save the milk now fed to the
calves; giving to them the sweet
skinned milk would make much more
butter with less trouble.
Among the most apparent advan-
tages of the separator are the saving
of ice, or the entire dispensing with
this, the larger yield of butter due to
more complete separation of the cream
than is possible by the ordinary
method, and the economy of labor.
Besides which, experiments at the
Wisconsin and New York experiment
stations have shown that when milk
IS allowed to stand for quarter of an
hour or more after milking and before
