cheesemaking In Georgia.

We make three pounds of cheese from
the same quantity of milk that would be
required for one pound of butter. Three
pounds of cheese, 45 cents; one pound Of
butter, % to 80 cents. My idea is that
farmers in the rural districts, away from
towns and cities, may find find it to
their interest and convenience to run CO.
operative diaries to supply themselves
and afford a surplus for the nearest mar
ket. If cheesemaking should be estab-
lished in the south we would not have
to go through with the evolution in proc
ess that has finally resulted in the fac
tory system in the north.
The northern people have blazed the
way. We can follow close behind. Our
lands are cheap and yet productive. II
cheese and butter dairying is profitable
in the north on land worth $50 to 800
per acre, why not in Georgia, where
good land can be had at one-fourth Of
these prices? The cooperative system
would seem to me the best-one farmer
tc put up the buildings and supply the
outfit and do the work for his neighbors.

Dairy and Creamery.

An admirable change has been sug-
gested in the disposal Of whey. Instead
of hauling it home in the milk cans and
feeding it out sour or otherwise, the plan
is recommended Of taking the hogs to
the whey. They should be fed and fat
tened at the factory itself, on the coop
erative plan. The owners could bring
their hogs and their supply of grain,
both being duly accredited. The hogs
could be sold by weight, and the value
of the whey determined by the amount
of milk each patron furnished. It would
be much easier to haul an occasional
load of grain to the hogs at the factory
than to haul away sloppy load Of whey
every day.
Mr.. Robert Cornett is the government
dairy instructor for the western part Of
Canada.
A 1-horse steam power has been man
ufactured which can be bought for $780,
Farmers are using power machines more
and more, and the small power cream
separator is becoming more popular.
The man who has 10 cows finds that the
separator pays.
A dairy farmer, who attended the
dairy convention in his state not long
since, said that he would not take 800
for what he had learned there.
Some people believe that butter from
separated cream is not SO solid and even
grained as the other kind. That may be,
but considerable of the separated cream
butter sells for so cents pound the year
around, all the same.

Good Advice.

have n acres Of land, nearly two of which
are not arabic. / keep nine COWS and two
horses. OF course buy some bran and oil
meal. Now, which is the most profitable way
to double the number of cows on the same
land for man Of moderate means?
Mr.. Stuessy has 81 acres of land, two
of which are not arabic. If these two
acres are properly located, let him use
them for pasture. Let him devote an
acre or more to buildings and garden
and put the balance of the small farm
under a three years rotation of crops.
devoting one-third of it each year to
corn, one-third to clover, and the re-
naming third to oats, peas, rye and
other grain and soiling crops. Build a
silo with two pits, each not less than
10 by 16 feet by 20 feet deep.
Do all the feeding in the stable and
save all the manure, liquid as we'll as
solid. Have good cows and feed them
all they will eat. Have stables warm and
well ventilated and lighted in winter, with
screens to windows in summer. Increase
your number of cows gradually as you
increase the fertility of your land. Prove
all things and hold fast to those which
suit you and your conditions. It is bet
ter to have cows in the stable all the
time than out of doors in storms and
cold weather and drinking ice cold wa
ter, but an hour or two day out of
doors, when it is comfortable for the
owner to be out with his cows, is not
Objectionable.
We very much question whether
creamery can be built and equipped Sc
as to manufacture only 100 pounds OF
butter per day with profit. The outfit,
building and cost of running will be
practically the same as for business
twice or three times as large. You may
count the outfit 81, 200 and freight, the
building $500 to 81 800, and the cost OF
running, exclusive of packages, freights
and commission, but including interest
and repairs, at from $3.50 to $3.50 per
day.-Hoard's Dairyman.

success In Dairying Depends ON the Man
Who Tries 1t.
There are very few questions that do
not have more than one side. With the
light kind of a man and favorable
weather to grow and harvest and feed
The fodder, unquestionably both the feed
cutter and the silo may be frequently
dispensed with and no loss ensue. Neither
;he one nor the other adds anything to
the valuable properties contained in the
food, but sometimes they enable the
feeder to put the food before the COW in
more appetizing condition, thus stim-
ulating consumption and preventing
waste.
We advocate dairying as one of the
most pleasant and profitable employ
ments in which men can engage, pro
vided the man has the taste and inclina-
ton to engage in it as dairyman. The
figures tend to prove that a pound Of
outter, average value MI cents, can be
produced at no greater expense for food
chan pound Of dressed beef, selling for
only about one-third as much. But the
man who sees no beauty or comeliness
in COW unless her top and bottom and
side and end lines form parallelopiped
cannot produce butter at that rate, or at
any other rate, that will pay expenses.
In short, the man as well as the ma
chine must be adapted to the work,
whatever it be. This is only another way
Of saying stools to the man who can use
Them" The matchmaker has no use for
the shoemaker's exit the blacksmith
who had only carpenters tools would
soon learn that blacksmithing in that
way was improbable. There is dairy
temperament in men as well as in cows.
We are often asked which will pay
better, to make butter at home or pat
ronize convenient creamery? We can
not say. It depends upon the man and
circumstances. If he has the requisite
skill and taste and can take delight in at
tending to the necessary details, or has
the gift of supervision and in addition
has the mercantile instinct to make or
find market and then to cater to it,
butter making on the farm may be more
pleasant and more profitable than pat
ronizing creamery. On the contrary,
if for any reason this extra care and de-
tail and labor is irksome or impractical
BILE, better hire it done at creamery

ABOUT THE WORD "cREAMER."
II Is an Old English Word In Use For
Centuries.

It Is an Old English Word In Use For
Centuries.
A certain manufacturer of dairy ap-
paratus, and good dairy apparatus, too,
claims that he invented the word
.creamer" and copyrighted it years ago,
as applied to box, closed cupboard or
cabinet in which milk is set to make the
cream rise. The gentleman solemnly
warns all competitors from using the
word, claiming that it is not a diction-
airy word, etc. He is mistaken. He
could not possibly have copyrighted the
word s'creamer." It has been used for
centuries, as applied to cream pitcher,
jug or other vessel for holding cream,
particularly upon the dining table.
Crockery and chinaware dealers have
been familiar with the word from time
immemorial.
Furthermore, dreamer" is a dictionary
word. If the manufacturer will look in
the magnificent new Century Dictionary,
volume 2, page 1888, left hand column
near the bottom, be will find dreamer.
It has two definitions. The first is:
Dreamer, an apparatus for the artificial
separation of cream from milk. It is
usually made on the centrifugal princi-
ple" The second definition is, "a small
vessel for holding cream at table; cream
Jug" The Century Dictionary is recog-
nized authority. The Century Diction-
airy writer appears, however, to be lit
tie off in his ideas. He applies the term
tn what is now called a. cream seDaratOr
At any rate, though, it will be seen
that the manufacturers claim is unten-
able, and that anybody can use the word
creamer who wants to. Even if the
gentleman could copyright it, he ought
to be ashamed Of himself for trying to
do so. Even If he had coined it, as he
claims, he ought to be glad and proud
to enrich the fine old English language
by SO good and handy word.

What is STANDARD butter?"

Only an expert using a sponge will get

Churning Two Kinds of Cream.

The handling of cream was discussed
with animation at the dairymen's meet
ing in Hartford. In answer to the ques-
ton, "Can cream produced by gravity
and that collected by 8 parator processes
be used together in creameries without
serious loss and trouble!" the general
sentiment was that they could not. The
cooperative and proprietary creameries,
so common throughout New England,
are frequently blamed because they use
cream from only one system. Most Of
the butter makers believe the use of the

Nitrate of Soda on Strawberry Vines.


A western grower writes to The Farm
ers' Review that if the strawberry grow
er will try nitrate of soda on his straw
berries he will find it wonderfully efiea-
cious. He says
The effect of nitrate of soda on straw
berries in the dry climate is very bene-
fetal. 1t not only doubles or trebles the
yield, but the strawberries are larger and
handsomer, and consequently command
a much higher price in the market. No
ordinary amount Of manure will pro-
duce SO great an effect, for the reason
that the plants grow and form their
fruit early in the season. The nitrate Of
soda furnishes the plants with nitric acid
before the nitrogen of the manure can
be converted into the essential ingredient
of plant food.

Lilies of the Valley.

The lily of the valley loves partial
shade and responds readily with wealth
of beautiful flowers to a good culture.
The plants may be set either in spring or
fall. Give them bed deeply spaded and
set the roots to inches apart, Q inches
deep. Wick advises when old beds have
ceased to bloom well to select piece Of
rich ground inclined to be little moist
and furnished with light shade; dig it
up and plant it with the single pips taken
up from the old bed and separated. When
the planting is finished, give the bed
dressing of old, well rotted manure and
water If there should be drought.

escape of butter fat in the buttermilk.
N. G.. Williams of Bellows Falls, VT,
in brief speech explained the reasons
for the excellent success of cream gather
ing creameries as due to the uniform
condition of the cream and accuracy
of management. President George A.
Bowen stated that the creamery in
Woodstock, his home town, employs
cream from both separator and deep can

Planting Blaokberries and Raspberries.

FIHnCIng DIHUKDoI1Ie5 anu 1NdSPUorI1oS'-
Probably more complaints in relation
to plants dying after transplanting are
heard in connection with the raspberry
and blackberry than with any other
fruit. Meehan says in his monthly that
in almost all cases the cane should be
cut nearly to the ground when planted,
and the plant should be set more than a
few inches under the surface. If planted
deep, the buds will rot before the young
sprouts get to the surface. In shallow
planting it is of course very desirable
that the earth should be hammered in
very tightly around the plants at trans
nlanting.
