TESTING FOR BUTTER.
GIVING EACH PATRON or a CREAM
ERY HIS JUST DUES.

Plan Adopted by Tirm of Experienced
Creamery Men to Find the Amount Of
Butter Fat in the Separate Lots OF
MILK Furnished to Them.
We commenced the plan Of testing
milk for butter tat April 4, 1880. TAX
ing the tests about once per week, we
took five tests in April, and made an
average of the five tests for basis of
each patron. AT the end Of the month
we found the churn had made .Os8 per
cent. f5 $40 per cwt.y more butter than
the test work indicated; therefore we
added that percentage To each test, Civ
ing each patron his pro rata share Of
what the chHrn made more than the
test work indicated
The tests are all made by number, the
person making the tests never knowing
whose milk is being tested. After the
tests are made and reported the foreman
OF the creamery attaches the patrons
name to the number; then the work il
ready for the bookkeeper. This is done
to remove any cause for suspicion Of
favoritism on the part Of the patrons.
We keep daily record Of the butter
yield Of the creamery, and If We have
any suspicion that any one il dishonest
we take test Immediately and they
are credited by this test until another il
made.
For April the lowest yield for any
patron was 3.G2 pounds Of butter for
each 100 pounds Of milk delivered, and
the highest was 474 pounds of butter
for each 100 pounds of milk received
the last receiving 81 per cent. more per
100 pounds Of milk than the first.
This creamery is operated on the divi-
dend plan, the patrons paying Us four
cents a pound for making the butter. On
the old plan Of paying by the 100 pounds
of milk each patron would have re-
ceived sixty-seven cents per 100 pounds
for his milk; as we paid by the test the
lowest received fifty-seven and seven
eighths cents per 100 pounds, and the
highest seventy-three cents per 100
pounds.
We are row using the Patrick or Iowa
station test, and like it well.
The following is the percentage Of
cream and Of butter fat in fourteen sam
pies Of milk, the milk having been al
lowed to stand until the cream raised
and was measured; then it was tested
with Patrick's test:

How soft, but yet how brilliant. is the light

Twinkling and shining still with Iambent ray
Like beauteous eyes oft opened and oft sealed,
Showing meath languid lids bright display.

THE BOY WHO MINDS HIS MOTHER
Boys, just listen for a moment

Boys, just listen for a moment
To word have TO say:
Manhood's gates are just before you,
Drawing ncarer every day;
Bear in mind while you are passing
Ger the intervening span
That the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes wicked man.
There are many slips and failures
In this world we're living in;
Those who start with prospects feirest
Oft are overcome by sin;
But I'm certain that you'll notice,
If the facts you'll closely scan,
That the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes wicked man.
Then be guided by her counsel;
1t will never lead astray.
Rest assured she has your welfare
In her thoughts by night and day.
Don't forget that she has loved you
Since the day your life began.
All, the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes q wicked man.

1t does seem as if kindred interests
and common sense would dictate To the
patrons of the once per day cheese fac
tories some concerted plan about uni
form milk care and delivery. Where the
milk goes twice per day TO the factory it
gets shaken up on the road. and the
maker has to, by b. III. where he can.
give it uniform treatment, and a certain
amount Of aeration. With the once per
day delivery plan the care of the nights
milk devolves upon the patron, and eight
out Of every ten Of them resolve to d0
as little as possible for the best keeping
Of the milk.
If there was an immense job Of labor
connected with the home care Of the
nights mess there would be some ex-
cuse, but with twenty-five cent ther-
mometer and a big dipper one can
aerate a big can Of milk, and know that
the temperature has been reduced u GER

tracts the bluefish within a radius of a
mile. A slice from the menhaden's back
is put ON large hook and the line is
thrown overheard, and as it drifts away
the bait is seized by the voracious fish
which swarm about the boat
Bluefish tackle is exceedingly cheap.
A dollar viii purchase all that is neces-
sary for hard fishing, while an outlay of
SO or 81 will buy stout casting rod, q
cheap, stout reel and line. and the nee
essary hooks and squids. With this out
fit the most fastidious can fish.
Small snappers Of two pounds weight
are quite abundant at Broad channel and
the inlet Of Jamaica bay, and also at Sea-
warren, Princes bay, the Horse at Sandy
Hook and at Barnegat. The large fish
running from six to fifteen pounds have
been found in great quantities all along
the Long Island and Jersey coasts. The
season is usually from the middle Of July
to the first of October.
To be sure Of good fishing and big fish
one should go aboard one Of the stanch
little smacks that supply Fulton market
with its Fridays bluefish. A little tact
and the judicious use of four or five dol
lars will secure a berth. These boats go
out to the banks OF the Jersey or Long
Island shore and sail around until fish
are sighted Then they anchor
Small hand mills are brought on deck
and menhaden are ground up. Dories to

Two sentences from the editorial col
umns OF the Boston journal should be pom
dered by members of the Farmers Alliance
and their friends. They refer to the situa-
ton in South Carolina, and are as follows:
This is the most serious split that has
taken place in the solid south since the
rise of the Readiuster movement in Viz
ginia."
"The most obvious feature Of the presen'
position of things is that the breach which
has been made is past repairing
This will show Southern farmers how
such movements are regarded by the enc
mics of the south, and Southern farmers
should see to it that both Of the statements
of the journal prove to be imaginative.
