THINGS THAT HURT The QUALITY
OF CREAMERY BUTTER.

Poor milk and cream are often received |
4, the factories because the manage
mont Is afraid u offending the patron.
ubo bring Il in. The milk or cream l.
NOT very much of, yet Il IL below the
standard. The butter makers dare not
reiec, n. II may be. and oftcntimes l..
thought In from tho most influential
uatrons. The commissioner asked the
nrop1etor Of largo cheese factory II
any milk Of poor quality was taken In
al his factory. His answer was. PLENTY
Of IT, Why do you take ~ Because
n don't the creamery across the way
will ask no questions" The cheese
maker said the only way he knew Of 10
p,rially cover mp the defects Of the poor
uilk was 20 add more rennet aud work
the cheesa hard.
We asked the proprietor Of large al.
iolning creamery about the quality ol
the milk received by him. lie reported
"plentv Of milk VI poor quality re-
rsiy.d7 gave as reason that ''if II wa,
refused the cheese factory across tn. way
would take 1t and ask no QUESTION: II
the proprietors Of each Of these cream.
rries and cheese factories would agree TO
buy no milk Of the others patrons with.
out aicertaining their reasons of wishing
10 leave. aud II tho reason was because
cotnplnint had been made about the
quality Of the milk, they should not b.
received a. a patron Of either creamery.
A close Inspection at the weighing vat
would a, once eliminate all the pooi
milk from these two factories.
A disposition on the part Of the factory
people 10 enlarge their business ~ the
axpeuse u their competitors has always
had s,roag tendency TO degenerate the
quality Of the goods, aud, on the other
hand, II individual creamorics seemed 10
agree too well aud enforce stringcn,
regulations as TO the quality Of the milk
or cream, the patron becomes dissatisfied.
II is generally those that have been sell
ing thin milk or milk of poor quality
that are opposed ON general principles 70
any rules that place them on an equality
with their noighbor.
These patrons commenced nm ngiia'
ton for a cooperative creamery. Thi'
agitation usually eliminated IN new
creamery on tho cooperative plan. The
dairy supply man Il usually ON hand tC
donouncc the proprietors Of the indi
vidual crcaincries rs ertortioners, VIII,
have been cheating the patron Ia AN out
rageous manner. As the agitation pro
gfesses q bitter feeling Is cngcnderci
agains, the proprietors Of the individual
crcamerics: after the organization Il
made and officers elected. tho dairy snp
ply man gets In hi. work and sells tn
new concern large outfit. To run 1
creamery or cheese factory well require
large technical knowledge Of the bust
ness. ANY mistakes made for lack o
this knowledge means less money
whether tho creamery 10 individual o
cooperative. The committee IL nc
quainted with n large number 81 indi
Vidual creamery proprietors who hav'
losi all they put into the creamery bust
meas simply because they did not know
how to run It and their patrons los
with them.
Ihaye known the patronsof n co-opcra
tive creamery pay ont $1,000 TO educat
tho management. The mistakes Of IN
managers brought that much less none
into the treasury and the patrons r.
ceiyed Just that much less money fo
their milk. The manager resigned an
the patrons lost tho benefits Of his 81
pcnaye education. A thorough cuisines
man took his place who understood rur
ming acrcamery. and has made n gran
success. Of the cooperative creamery. A
there are many cooperative creameTi'
running in the state and more starting
we would recommend that they cmplo
~ managers the best men they eau tin,
