Deou uauuleQ on a submerged 6ys-
tenn, the yield would have been $19 Sc
The diff 9rence is So. SO for the two
weeks, using 80 5 pounds or 81 gallons
of milk per day. This makes a differ
ence Of 81 8 cents per day on that
amount Of milk, or 81 cents per gallon
of milk in favor of the Centrifugal
system.
ANY n can easily see from this
result, as compared with the best of
other modes of handling milk, the de.
STABILITY of buying a separator. Thus,
ten cows, giving two gallons of milk
each daily for 800 days per year. would
show a difference Ia favor of the Cen
trifugal separator of $135, or an yer.
age Of ten COWS at the rate for a full
year of 1854 %, which is more than
sufficient to pay for the machine, with
less work as an additional profit.
FURTHER TESTS MADE WITH TWO CHURN
INGs OF SEPARATED CREAM M M
WITH COOLEY CREAMERY.
The 615.2 % pounds, separated for the
two churnings, yielded 90 286 pounds
of fat, of which SO So per cent. was
found in the cream and from which
% 10 pounds of butter was made after
samples had been removed for all the
tests.
"There were 382. 900 pounds of milk
creamed in the Cooley Dreamer using
we'll water without ice. In this milk
II 756 pounds of fat was found, of
which 80 SO per cent. was found in the
cream which made Is. pounds of
butter salted the same as the other had
been. This was at the rate of 8 917
pounds Of butter for 100 pounds of
milk, whereas the yield from the sep
arated milk was 4 736 pounds per hun
dred Of milk. The difference then is
0N.SlSponndso of butter which at twenty
five cents q pound, a fair price,
amounts to 20.4 cents on each 100
pounds or III gallons of milk. Results
like these would add one and three
fourth cents ar cents) to the value of
every gallon of milk from the use of
the separator"
The Rural New Yorker says:
There are many farm neighborhoods
where il would be we'll nigh impossible
for the farmers themselves to organize
a CO operative creamery or similar en-
terprise. There is too much jealousy
and distrust among them. LIST a
stranger familiar with such work come
into this neighborhood, and he will
soon organize these farmers and get
them to put up their money for q
creamery or a canning factory. The
farmers have long felt the need of such
organize among themselves. The sue
cess Of the creamery shark" is based
on a knowledge of this popularity of
farmers. He knows how to organize,
and he demands for his work 10 times
what it is worth. There are honest and
reliable houses that will do this work
at a fair price, and their business is
perfectly legitimate"
There is too much truth in this to be
pleasant. We have been in places
where it could be laughed at. But it
a be overcome. If we only will stand
out Of our own light and turn in a little
cheerful help, and by 80 doing surprise
some one and thereby add to the help
we can prove the paragraph untrue for
our neighborhood.
We need to unite and cooperate and
in the dairy business there has been
more of this than in any other, per
haps, in which farmers have had a
part. The CO operative creamery bust.
ness started in the kindliest friendship,
and has proved to be of everlasting
benefit to many a neighborhood, town
ship and county, and especially in the
dairy centers of the Northern States.
We have as much reason, and perhaps
more need Of cooperation than they.
The losses we make in summer in the
butter fat which passes away with but
termilk costs too much if saved with
ice by one who buys ice and is totally
lost to others. 90 operation in dairy
ing could make the ice 80 cheaply that
a warm friendly cooperative plant
could make a cool saving that would
pay.
