Dairy and CreamerH.

One recently started creamery has
found the following plan successful. 1t
is engaged in making butter: The milk
of the farmers is taken and made into
butter, careful account being kept Of
the amount. The creamery charges .
cents a pound for separating, making
the butter, shipping it and all other ex-
penses. 1t returns to the farmer the
price received for his butter after the
Az cents is deducted for expenses. The
milk of each patron is carefully tested,
so that he gets the price of just as much
butter as his COWS will produce. The
butter maker is paid $50 a month. The
proprietors of the creamery cleared un-
der this system 500 a month profit
There is no reason, however, why farm
ers should not be the stockholders Of
their own creamery and pocket these
profits themselves. A first class butter
maker and superintendent and first
class treasurer and board of directors
from among their own number could
manage the enterprise successfully.
When you make up your mind that
you are going to make money at dairy
ing, it is a tolerablysure sign that you
will make money.
By common consent it is considered
that an establishment that uses the milk
from as many as 90 patrons is entitled
to be called creamery proper and not
private dairy.
IL is we'll Tn breed a heifer for the first
time in December or January. This
will bring her fresh in the fall and Sc
cure the habit Of winter milking.
In the use of the revolving churn
never FILL it more than three-eighths full

Dairy and Creamerx.

When cream is churned too warm,
the butter will be soft and too white
and there will be considerable of it left
in the buttermilk. When the butter
grains are too fine to collect and they
form what is called butter -four, then
your cream is too cold. In this case
warm about two gallons of water to so
degrees and pour it into the churn, stir
ring we'll.
For billy regions the Guernsey or
Jersey will do we'll. Holstein- Friesians
do their best on moist, rich, compare
lively level lands. The most fertile
lands in Europe, as well as the dampest,
are those of Holland, whence the Hol-
-Friesian springs.
Milk producers should study to get
not only the most milk from their COWS,
but the richest. This is a matter of
breeding and feeding, and it can be en-
tirely controlled by the cattle raiser.
Here is a days COW ration as recon-
mended by Hoard's Dairyman for a
North Carolina milkman: 10 pounds
OOIu etONSAs ~ POuuuS C4Of0I uays y
pounds pea vine hay. To this Is added a
mixture of pounds cowpeas, 2 pounds
Kafir corn, pounds sunfower seeds.
Here is a fact for American cheese
makers TO think over at the beginning
of 1897: During the last fiscal year
there was exported from Canada $14,-
253, 002 worth of cheese. In the same
period there was exported from the
United States So, 497. 539 worth. 1t was
not either because we had a market at
home for our cheese. 1t was simply and
only because Canadian cheese is better
than American.
With all their investigation, chemists
have never been able to determine to
this. day what makes butter yellow.
There is no coloring principle in the
product apparently. When each con-
stituent of the butter is examined sep
arAtely, it is found to be pure white.

CROSS BREEDS.
'tmpIe Facts Deduced by Practical and
Extended Experience.

'EmpIe Facts Deduced by Practical and
Extended Experience.
Seeing a request for experience in the
Jersey-Ayrshire cross to get dairy COWS,
a correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman
gives his experience, made 10 years ago
in Saratoga county, n. Y, where reg
istered Jersey bull was used on full
blooded Ayrshire COWS. He says: The
produce of this cross in nine cases out OF
ten produced the best possible cows for
the dairy. They were nearly of perfect
dairy form and deep, heavy mixers OF
rich milk But in another case, when
an Ayrshire sire was used on Jersey
COWS, no improvement could be seen in
the quantity of milk, while the quality
was much less; but, strange to say, these
cross bred animals when bred together
produced animals of very little use for
anything, either milk or beef, while the
cross bred heifers bred to pure Jersey
bull were fully as good as the pure Jer-
seys for rich milk, with a great i'm
provement in quantity over their gran
dams As is well known, this is the
usual experience of crossing breeds. The
first cross is all right, but the second
must always be to pure male of one Of
the original cross. Do not, if you wish
to improve, use one of the cross bred
males and never after having used one
of the breeds twice go back to the other,
as you will surely be improving back
ward, or, to speak more plainly, after
having bred the cross bred Jersey-Ayr
shire heifers to a Jersey bull do not
breed the produce of this cross to an
Ayrshire bull, but keep on in the same
line, using only Jersey males. So, while
in all cases the first cross of two breeds
is generally good one, it is necessary
to keep up the herd, that herd of pure
females of one or the other breed must
be kept, or in few years you have run
into all one breed.
The same thing applies to swine, for
the best lot of fattening hogs the writer
ever fed were a straight cross of Berk
shires and Poland Chinas of registered
stock or well known pure stock on both
sides; but, in order to keep up the stock
year after year, it is necessary to have a
herd Of pure brood sows of one or the
other breed and get pure male each
year.

Parchment Paper For Butter Tubs.


The use of parchment paper for lin
ing butter tubs is on the increase all
over the country, and the parties that
are using it claim that they have less
shrinkage than formerly. The commits
sion men are also well pleased with it,
as the butter does not stick to it, and
they have less trouble in stripping the
butter to get the weight of the package,
so they can give proper weights on each
tub, and also the paper will protect the
butter from the heat in warm weather.
So all creamerieS should begin lining
their tubs with parchment paper, or,
what would be better still, get some
square boxes and line them with parch-
ment paper and make trial shipment
in that kind of package, and note the
difference in the expense of each kind of
package and how the butter sells in
them for the home market, for they will
be easier handled than the tubs, and the
butter can be cut out of them in a bet
ter shape, which will be more pleasing
to the eye than where the butter is dug
out of tub. If butter for the home
market was all packed in square boxes,
how much handler for the retailer if he
would strip square package of butter
and have it lying on clean marble
slab in his refrigerator and cut it with
a fine wire into square pieces. He could
soon tell how large a square to cut to
make a pound. 1t would look much
better, and the looks of anything always
help to sell it, and butter is no excep-
ton to that rule.-Exchange

A PICNIC
Will Be Given by the Veterans OF
The Local Camp.

Ats.a meeting of Camp Frank
Gardner last Saturday, the United
Confederate Veterans decided to
give grand picnic at Beausejour
Park, Saturday, May 22. A COM
mittee of three was appointed to
arrange for the event. and secure
orators for the day. 1t is the pur-
pose of the veterans to make the
occasion a most enjoyable one,
socially and intellectually. Flo
quent addresses will lie made by
distinguished speakers in French
and English, intersPersed with
music and songs. A cordial invi-
tation is extended all who feel an
interest in the battle-scarred vet
Grams, who sacrificed their all for
the principles of right and justice
involved in the Lost Cause. Their
ranks are now thin, and ere long,
the heroes of that gigantic struggle,
with such fearful odds against them,
will live but in memory; their
deeds of valor, embiazoned on the
pages Of history, and the eternal
principles for which they fought,
engraven upon the hearts of call
future generations, to be cherished
as proud heritage.
Let the good people of our town
and parish, therefore, join heartily
in an endeavor to do honor to these
few living representatives CT the
Lost Cause, and make the reunion
one of unalloyed pleasure and en-
joyment. The ladies and children
are especially invited to lend in
spiration to the patriotic demon
stration.
An old gray-haired veteran, last
Saturday, in an earnest and elo-
quent conversation, remarked:
"Had it not been for the ladies,
the Confederacy would have
crumbled and sunk into oblivion at
the end of it's first years existence -
Who will dare gainsay this glorious
tribute to the heroism of the noble
Southern womanhood, heroism
| that shall forever immortalize the
fair sex of our beloved Southland
Let the ladies pack those baskets
full of every delicacy, and above
all, lend their presence to grace
and cheer the festivities of the day.

ORION.
Who Said They Should Not
Be Paid.

BE Fa1O.
To The Lafayette Gazette.
In your valued paper of May I,
appears an article headed
menting on the non-action of the
School Board in regards to paying
the teachers "requested' to attend
last meeting of the board that body
omitted to order the superintendent
to pay the theachers, but not
was only an oversight, for zoe all
viding fol- the payment of teachers
the service of the board. If our
s'faithful and conscientious
teachers" understood this omission
as fiat refusal to pay they have mis-
conceived the intention, or at least
that of the majority. 1t is to be hoped,
though, they will forgive US our sin
act of commission in turning over
all our per diem to the teachers
funds. 1t is not much, but every
little bit helps. Now, our 'sfaithful
and conscientious teachers" should
be fully in line and be patriotic
and charitable enough not to exact
full pay for their attendance at the
institutes, as "requested," for they
understand that those institutes are
held absolutely for their advance
ment as we'll as for their benefit,
though the public reaps the over
flow of their advanced methods of
teaching.
Hoping that <<faith and con-
science" intermingled with patriot
ism and charity overflow the hearts
of our teachers in such abundance
as to permit them to meet US Satur-
day and come to reasonable
agreement: Say about half pay if
conscience is not too strictly bust
ness first anal clarity last.
Our teachers must be aware that
there are certain sections of our
parish which have not been pro-
vided for, where the people are
begging and clam ring for schools,
which they should have by all
means-and unless we receive as
sistance from one source or another
we are powerless and cannot assist
them, to say nothing of the outside
teachers begging for employment
which would be pleasure to give
to them.
