COLUMBIA COUNTY
CREAMERY.
A New Establishment In Bloomsbury
That Will Be A Benefit To Farmers,

the Ice and Cold Storage Plant. Ii
is completed, and contains machinery
of the latest designs for making butter.
The first churning was done last
Saturday, and the butter made was of
the very best quality.
Stations for gathering cream are
located at Miflinville, Light Street.
Grovania, Benton, Orangeville, and
several other points.
Each station has skimminp ma.
chine for separating the cream from
the milk, run by a small steam engine.
The cream is shipped daily from these
points to the factory, and the skim
milk is taken away by the owner.
The directors of the company are

Kocher. The factory is in charge of
Carl Nelson, who has had six years
experience in the business in Sweden.
and SIX years In this country.
Fresh buttermilk can be obtained
daily at the factory, and if the demand
is sufficient for it, arrangements will
be made to supply customers with
fresh cream in quantities to suit.
The company has issued the follow
ing circular, which explains the
method of operation:
"Our factory, including the several
skimming stations, is now ready for
operation. We will Immediately be.
gin operations, and all we ask is, that
our patrons furnish us plenty of the
raw material, milk. We do the rest,
and for your benefit, which we will
prove to you, if you will give the fac
tory fair trial. The butter factory
is no new thing; new only for this
locality; for there are hundreds of
similar factories throughout the coun-
try, that are doing satisfactory bust
ness for their patrons. We wish
every farmer to make an extra effort
to bring what milk he has, be it little
or much, and if you are then not salts
fed, withdraw. Remember there is
nothing binding in this, you can with.
draw at any time, only we wish you to
give US fair trial. The conditions
upon which we will accept your milk,
are briefly these = Milk must be
delivered at the factory or either Of
the skimming stations every day be-
tween the hours OF five and eleven
o'clock A. M. Nights milk to be
held over until morning, and kept
separate from the mornings milk.
Milk must be properly strained, aired
and cooled; to illustrate, when strain
ing the milk into the can, use at least
two thicknesses of cloth as a strainer +;
after the can has been filled, stir the
milk thoroughly two or three times
that the animal heat may escape. DO
not close the cover on the Can until
ready to start for the factory. Every
can, pail, cooler, and every other
article used for, in. or about the milk
must be kept perfectly clean and
sweet. Settlements with patrons will
be made the fifteenth Of each month,
for the previous month, and are to be
based upon the per cent. of fat in the
milk supplied by each patron, as
shown by the Babcock Test. Re-
member that by the centrifugal
method of separating the cream, from
one-half to one pound more butter to
each one hundred pounds of milk, is
secured by this process, than can
possibly be obtained by any other
method. Then again the quality of
the butter as whole is better, being
what is known as granular butter,
which sells for the highest price.
There is always a demand for a first
class article when put up in an at
tractive form. Here again the fac
tory takes the lead, because every
thing is done by the latest improved
methods, and under tine most favorable
conditions, which are practically un-
known on the farm. Cans and other
supplies will be furnished patrons Of
the company at first cost. Those
delivering milk at any of the
several skimming stations will be
promptly attended to, SO as to enable
them to receive the milk to be taken
home after the butter fat has been
separated. Any further information de-
sired Willie furnished by those in charge
of the several skimming stations or
the butter factory. In conclusion we
would say, to secure the most profit
from your COWS. feed liberaIly and
keep them we'll housed during cold
weather. Study them individually.
Weigh each cows milk night and
morning, and see which respond at
the pail when given extra feed. Have
them tested separately at the factory,
and you will soon know which COWS
you wish to keep, and the sooner the
others grace the shambles the better
