Manager Brown Completes
Summary With Directions.

Manager c. L. Brown of the Wichita
branch of the Kansas Creamery company
has completed a statement of the COM
panys business at this point for the
month of December The amount Of milk
handled was 565, ISL pounds, as against
about 10000 pounds for the company's
flrst months business here in August.
The net butter product for the churnery
here is 1877 pounds, and of this an aver
age of ESQ pounds per day have been dis
posed of in Wichita and the rest ex-
ported. The average of butter fat taken
from the milk is a little more than four
pounds per hundred, and the average
price paid per pound for the fat was Is
cents This is an average OF 20 cents
per hundred for the milk hauled 10 the
separator stations. The average price
paid for milk by the hundred by the old
time creameries in Kansas before the
introduction of the station separators was
only a little more than 81 cents per hun
dred. The amount of money paid out to
the farmers for milk at the nine stations
tributary to Wichita for December was
something over $500. In one year this
would amount to $4,000, which is clear
increase upon the earnings Of the farmers
of the county.
There are now fifteen places on the
roads leading from Wichita calling for the
establishment of stations as soon as
spring. opens. Among the most importunate
is Rochester, on the Wichita and Engle-
wood road IN Kingman county. I. Z.
Holcomb, of the firm of Holcomo &
Shcwey, and commonly known over King
man county as Mort" writes that list
of SO cows has already been subscribed
and there will be half as many more when
the station is actually put to work. Mr..
Brown says that as soon as winter breaks
there will be not less than dozen stations
added 10 the list, making thirty-one in
all. The following directions and advices
have been issued to the patrons Of the
creamery:
CREAMERY COMMANDMENTS
Thou shalt not slumber late in the
morning, but shalt arise early and deliver
thy milk to the factory, for he that goeth
late causeth the buttermaker to use much
profane language.
II.
Thou shalt not cast all the dirt thou
canst brush off the COW into the bucket.
III.
Thou shalt not take any cream for thy
tea or coffee, for when thou gettest thy
dividends one shall say TO another: why
taketh 1t more milk here for a pound of
butter than at any other creamery?
Then shalt the buttermaker arise and hold
| thee up to ridicule with the Babcock TO-
! tary test.
| ".
| Thou shalt not mix water with thy milk,
| thou nor thy man servant. nor hired girl.
| for so surely as thou doest this thing,
| thy name shall be Dennis over the length
| and breadth of the whole milk route.
| W
| Thou shalt not feed thy cows too much
potatoes, onions, mustard. horse-radish,
or bad cabbage. for these feeds, though
| they may be cheap as all outdoors, causes
the buttermaker to gnash his teeth ex-
ceedingly and the butter-eatcr to buy his
butter somewhere else
| vi
| Thou shalt not set thy can of nights
| milk in the cellar with the cover OFF. In
order to use it for trap to catch rats
| and mice therein. neither in the woodshed
as a temptation to thy neighbours cat.
VII.
Thou shalt not carry away more mill
or buttermilk than thy share. lest some
shall say concerning thee. For wondel
one hog carrieth food for another"
VIII.
Thou shalt not use unclean cans. but
| shalt cause thy cans to be washed every
day and the seams and the crevices there
of. for filthy can is abomination IN the
buttermaker's sight, and he will visi
wrath upon him who bringeth II.
TX
Thou shalt not trouble the buttermaker
saving, When shall receive my pay?'
for verify say unto thee. he knowetf
not, neither careth a little bit.
"
Thou shalt not say unto another. 10
