U.lformity In Dairy Products.

C0lfOrmny IN Dairy Products.
Any inhabltant of . city knows that
there Is q very great gulf between the
price he pays for his dairy butter and
the price he pays for his creamery but
ter. This is so although he knows
that in many cases the dairy butter is
found to be of better quality, although
tine creamery butter will average high
er than the dairy butter. He may ask
the retail merchant the reason that
creamery butter sells at higher price
than dairy butter. He receives for an
swer that the creamery butter Is OF
a uniform quality and the dairy butter
is rot. In other words, uniformity
has . market value, and In the case OF
butter 1t sometimes amounts to hve
and ten cents per pound.
Z Dairymen should give this question
of uniformity due attention. Every
farmer that makes butter and every
factoryman that makes cheese should
progress toward uniformity Of prod
ucts. Lack Of this has greatly damaged
our markets both at home and abroad.
Not only SO. but the public taste Is
largely q thing of creation. and 1t can
not be fixed In one direction II 1t Is
being given all sorts and
Of products. How often
have we been cited to the corner
grocer that buys all the butter that
comes his way rather than offend his
customers! We are told that much
Of this is SO lacking in uniformity in
color, sailing. favor and keeping quail
tiles that he simply throws 1t into a
barrel and sells 1t to some creamery
man at a very low figure to work UP
into "ladle goods" where it will have
at least some sort Of uniformity. OF
course much of this butter had really
. good favor. was made out of clean
cream, skinned from pure milk. But
It was unstable for the reason that 1t
vas wrongly colored, wrongly salted.
and worked too much or too little.
What is the great cause Of this lack
Of uniformity? Primarily 1t IS the
lack of rules in making the butter.
Is chance. The butter
maker salted her butter as she spread
her bread, that is, by guess, and a
little more or less is not supposed to
make any difference. Not till we get
iown to rules will we accomplish
much in this direction. Systems we
must have or the present unsatisfac-
.0ry conditions must continue. The
has too long carried on
he work without weights and meas
lres. How can she tell how much salt
% put into the butter IL she has NO
scales by which to tell the weight Of
he butter and the wight of the salt
hat should 60 into it? How shall she
ell the amount Of colorlng matter to
,ut in unless the quantities Of both is
lnown?
The farmer must get beyond the place
where he does not consider himself a
business man. He and his must get
|own to figures. Weights and meas
res are as necessary on the farm a3
lsewhere. There Is big room for re-
orm, and the first to notice it will be
he corner grocer. When the uniform
utter begins to come in he will be
BILE to pay better price for it, be-
ause he will not be compelled to sell |

Chicken Raising Experiences.


The Farmers Review desires to have
the experiences of its readers in the
raising Of chicks. We do not care 50
much for advice ss to have the actual
experiences, whether they be good or
bad. 1t sometimes happens that we
cannot learn much from an experience
that is successful in every sense. for
the very reason that We cannot easily
detect the things that had the greatest
influence on that success. But with a
failure the cause is generally very pat
ent. We can see the causes and effects
and learn much thereby. We doubt II
a poultryman would be q very good
teacher in the science unless he had
suffered losses from many causes and
knew those causes. II he had had an
unbroken record of successes he would
be able to impart little Of the great
truths that need to be known by every
man that goes into the business Of
poultry raising.
We know Of a man that thought that
he was very successful poultry raiser
and whose advice was often given to
new beginners in the poultry raising
industry. lie was certain that there
was no need o: any man having q dis
case in his fiocks, for he had never had
any disease. He believed that follow
ing the methods that he was following
would bring about the best results
every time. He crowded his fowls to-
gether in close quarters, contrary to
all good advice. When the March wind
blew out two panes Of glass he let It
20 till convenient season. As q result
he found himself with a vigorous case
Of roup on his hands. The disease ex-
acted of him toll of more than forty
OF his best fowls. Now tho man IS
able to warn others against roup and
against the conditions that make it
possible. Before that time he looked
upon those conditions as safe. He was
taught this by his disaster. So let us
hear from our readers. Records of dis
asters and the causes for them will
prove Instructive reading.
