The Manhattan creamery received
milk on Feb 3, which according to the
usual calculations would make 2sS lbs
of butter; but when separated and
churned it yielded only 237 pounds, or
over 81 per cent short of the usual
run. In looking for the cause it was
noted that on Feb. /, the weather
turned cold and it showed for two
DAYS. This goes to show that dairy
cows especially should be provided
with conditions as nearly uniform as
possible. Any sudden change in tenn
perature, feed or care may not perma-
nently affect the percentage of butter
fat in milk, but it will cause tempors
airy change both in quantity and quail
ity.
In the fruit industry the waste Of
ten consumes the profits. An inoppor-
tune rain or wind at the time when
the fruit is just ripening often ruins
the hopes and anticipations of whole
year. The failure to use the right
kind of a package and to make the
fruit look its best in it often degrades
the quality in the estimation OF the
buyer from first to second class with
the corresponding reduction of price.
The crowded market of Saturday of
ten leaves on hand of the grower few
crates of berries which are worthless
when the market ripens on the follow
ing week. The insects somehow find
their way to the fruit and just at the
time when it should ripen we find that
it is ruined Nine cases out of ten OF
failure in the fruit business comes
through loss due to waste.
