THE BEST CREAMERY.
THINGS ESSENTIAL TO A SUCCESS
Full CREAMERY.

Managed on the Live and Let Live Pr1D-
cipIe, These Factories win Go on Null
tipIying-A Creamery Manager Must Be
Clean and Have Baekbone-Trickery.
At the Iowa State Butter, Cheese and
Egg convention Mr.. o. T. Dennison, of
Mason City, addressed the convention
on. sWhat is Best for the Creamery
He said: Every creamery operator and
every patron of creamery has his
opinion as to what is best for the cream
,ry, and can only give my opinion from
The standpoint of an operator, leaving
yours to be brought out in the discussion
that may follow.
s'Three essentials to u successful cream
cry are: honesty, cleanliness and intelli-
gence. These three graces are as be-
coming to the patron as the operator.
You may differ as to the order of preced-
ence and contend that cleanliness should
be placed first or intelligence first, but
each is absolutely essential to success in
the creamery and in the dairy as well.
Every transaction in and about the
creamery must be honestly done, else
that confidence between patron and OPP
orator essential to the success Of each is
forever gone There is mutually of
interest that renders dishonesty Of either
ruinous to both The "tricky" cream
cry man soon has tricky patrons, and
dishonest patrons drive him to dishonest
tricks by which both are losers. The
creamery must be managed upon the
broad principle that to be profitable to
the oSner it must make dairying profit
able TO the patrons. That narrow, self
ish management that pays as little for
milk and cream rs possible will never
be best for the creamery nor for the pa
irons.
The creamery should be an educator
TO all the community in cleanliness,
honor and general intelligence upon all
dairy matters. The creamery man must
be progressive and abreast OF the times
spreading the latest and best thoughts
upon all matters pertaining to dairying,
dairy breeding and dairy feeding. 1t is
best for the creamery that it be operated
upon business principles, and not upon
any catchpenny plan. There must be
intelligence in operating the creamery, |
to the end that the best work may be !
done with the least cost of fuel, ma
terials and labor The honest creamery I
man will compel his patrons to be honest
with him and each other by refusing
milk or cream from him who is not
clearly in mis- work rs well rs from him
who adulterates.
No remedy is so effectual in bringing
milk or cream to u proper percentage as
the whispered news, They won't take
So-and-So's milk at the factory and no
news travels so fast. Some decision of
character is required, but manager
without backbone is not fit for the
creamery. Managed upon the live-and-
,let-live basis. the creamery will go ON
multiplying in numbers, manufacturing
the raw materials produced on our
farms. developing the resources Of Iowa,
restoring the wasted fertility Of the
farm, of the soil robber. developing the
true dairy COW. spreading intelligence,
building homes, developing better men
and women, of higher INTEL gence,
higher thinking aud better living.

p II. Jacobs, of Hammonton, n. j..
gives the following helpful hints IN
American Rural Home:
The best time to handle the disease is
when it first makes its appearance, and
to prevent its spread the sick birds
siioull be removed from the others. The
premises should be thoroughly diSinfect-
cd, and lime freely scattered over the
yard. and the houses we'll sprinkled
with "A solution OF tablespoonful of
carbolic acid in pailful of water,
1t has been demonstrated that the
germs of roup can be destroyed by quick
lime aud by spirits OF turpentine. When
withdrawing it would be well to add a
teaspoonful of spirits of t,,rpentine to
the whitewash.
The drinking vessels should be kept
scrupulously clean. and the water be
changed twice day. in each case a tea
spoonful of turpentine being added to
each gallon of water With these pre-
cautions the roup may be kept away.
The proper way to treat all diseases by
giving medicine is ii the drinking water,
though il only one or two valuable birds
are sick they may be treated by han
ding. All fowls will drink. even when
they win not eat
Some breeds are more subject to roup
than Others. Birds with crests. which
become water soaked in wet weather,
and birds with very tall combs, which
become frosted, are liable to roup when
they are exposed.

PRESERVING BUTTE ~ BRINE.
How and why Immersion In Drins I.
Practiced by Butter Workers.

Practiced by Butter Workers.
A method of preserving butter by i'm.
mersion in brine for home consumption
and for export is thus explained: "As
soon as the butter is ready for the market

according TO tastes and demands. and
formed into rolls, and fine muslin i
wound round the rolls. The rolls are
then nicely set on end, one on the TOD of
the other. in cask or barrel suitable TO
the convenience of the butter maker
When the barrel is full cloth is nicely
spread over and tucked round the roll
and whatever space remains between
the butter and the head of the cask is
filed with coarse salt.
The object of the salt on the top is to
keep the butter tight in its place, and 10
make good the deficiency Of any brine
lost from leakage or evaporation. The
object Of the plate is to keep the rolls Of
butter tightly in their places and
thoroughly immersed in the brine. The
barrel is then headed up, turned bung
up, and filed quite full of strong brine.
OF course only small quantity of brine
will be necessary, as it is only in the
interstices between the roll of butter
that it can find room. as the butter, hav-
ing already been sufficiently sailed in
the ordinary way. viii absorb none Of
the brine. The cask must, however, be
filed quite full, and securely bunged, SO
TINT no leakage occurs; for on the keep
ing Of the barrel full Of brine depends
the success of the method. When the
keg or barrel containing the butter Is
opened by the retailing batter merchant
the burter is not removed from the brine;
but tbs parc4ls are left in it until called
for by the consumer. when it is lifted
fresh out Of the brine aud handed to the
customer.

The poison tyrotoxicou is believed to
be generated in cream that has not been
sufficiently aerated We have known
good customers to be lost 10 milkmen ON
account of the animal odor in the milk
they sold. To aerate properly take the
milk in the open air, dip it mp by the
dipper full. hold it up high and pour it
either through strainer or into a vessel
other than that from which you took it.
The point is to let the air all through it..

Prospects OF "A Reciprocity Agreement
with the Islands.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The list Of
the reciprocity agreements which began
with Brazil several months ago and
which includes Spain, San Domingo,
Costa Rica, and other countries, may
possibly be extended to the British West
Indies, although the negotiations which
are about to be commenced with the lat
ter country present new and interest
ing phase.
Sir Nevil Lubbock, who will repre-
sent in the negotiations British Guinea
and all the islands in the British West
Indies, except Barbados and Jamaica,
has already arrived in Washington.
Within week or two commissioners
will reach here from the islands named,
and then the trio of republics will hold
formal conf renee with the state depart
ment, although in the meantime the
preliminaries will be arranged.
''The reciprocity section of the Nc
Kinley bill" said Sir Nevil to a re-
porter, gives the president power to re-
impose the duties on sugar, coffee, hides,
etc, when imported from any country
which exacts from the United States
upon imports of agricultural and other
products, duties that he may deem to be
reciprocally Unequal and unreasonable
my mission in Washington is to en-
deavor to show the president and the
secretary of otate that the British West
Indies do no. impose upon imports from
the United States duties that are ull-
equal or unreasonable, when compared
with the tariff imposed upon imports
from other countries. In other words,
we will give to articles imported by us
from the United States the same privi-
leges and advantages that we afford
to goods even imported from Great
Britain"
"What viii happen if no agreement ia
reached and the duties here are reim-
posed?"
I'VE will send all our sugar to the
United Kingdom, where we will find
market for i. At present we send all of
it to the United States, except the
Demarara sugar, which is fancy grade,
and which goes to England. l have no
hesitation in saying that we would like
to continue our trade with this coun-
try"
