To Be Successful . Creamery Must Have
Intelligent Patrons.
We often hear sharp criticism in
dulged in by creamery men against
their patrons and by patrons against
servation quite often that the criticism
was well deserved both ways. But we
wish to assert a bedrock principle that
knows no exception: 1t is impossible
to run poor creamery when the
patrons are well posted in dairying.
They simply won't have it. The poor
creameries and cheese factories can
continue to exist only when the patrons
do not know what is due them. The
creamery at Geneva. ILL.,, and it did us
good to note what a splendid combina-
ton in society a lot of intelligent
patrons and a good creamery can make.
There are sixty patrons, and they de-
livered last year 5,737.757 pounds of
milk, which produced 240. 797 pounds of
butter, an average of 4.35, or trifle
over ~ pounds of butter to 100 pounds
of milk. The amount received for the
butter was $50, O39.23.
One of the hest proofs of the intelli-
gence of the patrons is found in the ex-
cellent quality of their milk. That is
an old dairy section around Geneva.
and the dairymen there have learned
that it don't pay to have poor cow or
to keep a good one poorly. Evidently
they have long since discarded the idea
that lots of milk without reference to
its quality was the thing in a creamery
or cheese factory. So many farmers
have that important lesson yet to learn.
1t must be a pleasant task to run a
creamery with such a lot of well-posted
dairy farmers for patrons.-Hoasd's

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Fowls need good shade during the
summer.
THE demand for good poultry is on
the increase.
POULTRY must have plenty Of green
food if they thrive we'll.
GUINEAs like stale bread moistened
with sweet skim milk and curd.
GEESE should be picked regularly
three or four times during the summer.
A STOLEN nest nearly always gives a
full hatch, because the conditions are
favorable.
DON'T get the hens too fat and, on
the other hand, do not starve them in
summer.
Ducks are enormous eaters. They
not only eat all day, but often feed by
moonlight.
SULPHUR in the food is good remedy
for lice because it tends to make the
skin moist and oily.
PULLETs that are Matched in May and
June, if well feed and sheltered, will
lay during the winter.
EVEN young poultry should have all
the fattening food they will eat for
several days before marketing.
ONE of the best ways of feeding bones
is to break them up into small pieces
and put them where the fowls can help
themselves.
In many cases if cholera appears it
will be better to kill all of the affected
fowls rather than run the risk of the
disease spreading.
