more cream from Jersey milk thar will
the separator from that of native COWS.
Almost all of the Eastern Pennsylvania
creamers began with cold setting, but
now without exception work with sepa.
rators. The latter secure nearly ali the
cream, and make much lighter work for
the operators, who need not work till
and after midnight making skim reese,
and lug about tons of ice daily, and the
expense of drawing had better be divided
among all the patrons, who will enjoy a
mornings drive and meeting their
friends, insteadof putting it all upon the
creamery, as is the. case with the cream
collecting system.
The creamery / was at commenced
with 8 capital stock of $4,000, divided
into shares of S. each, guaranteed per
cent. per annum, since,it was compelled
to take up mortgage of about 81 500,
all of which recently was paid off from
the proceeds of business. During the
summer it receives over 10000 pounds of
milk daily, which in mid-winter runs
down to about 5000. In other parts of
the country the farmers know enough to
produce double the amount of milk in
winter to what they do in summer. The
superintendent receives $1,000 peryear
and pays all help, but bears no other
expense about $3.50 is paid annually in
other salaries. ...
Commission men" take away the
whole product of the creamery, saying
to the same the expense Of all teams and
freight charges. Over one half of the
butter goes into pound prints; skim milk
is sold to the patrons at 10 cts. per 80.
quart can, and "swill'' at 5 cts. for the
same quantity. All skim. milk not taken
is run with the buttermilk into cistern,
from which the farmers pump it,ollt.
/ a creamery should have q cement floor,
inclining in practical way, so that all
water will flow off to some convenient
place; the floor shoulo not form an angle
or corner with the, upright walls Of, the
apartments, but be rounded of, which
will obviate the accumulation Of dirt.
The De Laval separator makes cream
.6t for ice: e:cream, while the Danish.
Weston does not. The Davis swing
churn is the best, made by the Vermont
Farm Machine Co., and for working the
butter, Embree's OF other power workers
| is most recommended; butter must not be
worked by hand.
| Aside from interest being guaranteed
to the capital stock, all of those furnish.
ing milk should be treated alike in pay.
ment for milk, whether stockholders OF
not. In the creamery mentioned, the
treasurer, who has to- give bonds, received
per cent. of all money received; six
directors each receive 81 for every
monthly meeting attended, and the secre.
tary $25 per annum. A cooperative
creamery can only succeed if the aim is,
after literally paying the best Of help
Zone beside the superintendent is enough
to pay just as much as possible to all the
milk contributors, according to quantity
furnished by. each. The plan at the
creamery mentioned could only be i'm
proved by system ofpaying to those
farmers who, from the use of thorough.
bred stock or from heavy feeding, furnish
q milk richer in cream than that sent by
the ayerage.milk producers. Practically
it would suffice to make irregular OF
unexpected trials with the milk of those
who claimed theirs to be better, and
according to some adopted rule, strike at
mode of determining q percentage of
higher remuneration. This would make
the centrifugal system perfect, and cause
all cold-setters to stink away like dog,
borne doWn with shame. For small
quantities of milk, however, the Cooley
creamers present the most desirable
cream. raising means.
Most Pennsylvania creameries have
given up making cheese-the milk de-.
prived of all butter. substance making too
poor quality to fetch a paying price.
The farmers feed almost all the swill to
their pigs the creamery might keep 8
few, so as to consume it all. G.. r.
THE SPRING MILLS (pENN. CREAMERY
gather the cream distance of twenty
miles. It being too great a distance for
one team to travel the forty miles, sys.
tenn ofrelays is used.
THE CREAMERY AT MAPPING, CONN,
Was established in June, 1883, in local
ity that had been devoted largely to to.
bacco raising. This had proved very
unsatisfactory-taking the life Of the soil
and poor returns. a change for the bet.
ter was demanded, and creamery seem.
ed to Offer the way out, which was started
and has proved that it was q wise move.
ment on the part Of the farmers. Farms
that would carry only 5 or 6 COWS in the
beginning now keep II to Is. The skim
milk is mostly kept at home and fed to
calves and hogs, and the manure piles
have correspondingly increased, which
has increased the crops, without the pur.
chase OF commercial fertilizers, to
remarkable extent-two or three tons of
hay raised where one ton was all that
could be harvested before. It is a noted
fact that all through this section the far
mers, before the creamery was started,
found it necessary to get credit at the
merchants from spring until harvest.
Since then they have got their money
from the creamery regularly on the goth
of each month, for the cream furnished
the month before; and have bought low
for cash.
It must be remembered that in this
system the cream.g .gatherer calls at the pa.
irons doors, skins the cream and carries
it to the creamery, at the expense of tho
association, 30 that the amount paid pa
irons is net to them, with no further ex-
pense of any kind; it is absolutely net.
