CREAMERY ASSOCIATIONS.
Facts and Figures to BE Considered
Before Starting

Before Starting.
Professor Haywood of the Pennsyl-
vania experiment station writes that
he has received a number of inquiries
Of late in regard to the methods en-
ployed by creamery promoters in es-
tablishing creameries. From the repu-
tation that these promoters in general
bear it would seem wise to give them a
wide berth. 1t is their business to build
and equip a creamery and get their
money for it, regardless of the subse-
quent success of the enterprise To do
this they misrepresent the amount Of
milk that can be expected from a given
number Of cows and the average price
that can be obtained for the butter, and
they usually charge much more for
erecting and equipping the plant than
it would cost the creamery association
if purchased at market rates BY mis-
representing the profits to be derived
from the creamery business creamery
promoters have induced thousands of
farmers to pay for expensive creamery
plants which are now standing idle and
not only yield nothing on the invest
ment but are constantly deteriorating
in value.
In order for a creamery association to
be successful it is necessary above all
things to have the milk from 300 to 500
cows guaranteed to the creamery for
nine or ten months in the year. A
creamery to handle this amount of milk
can be built and equipped for from 81,
500 to So, 900. The price usually asked
by promoters is from So, 700 to 81, 900.
Ii it is desired to build creamery in
community, an informal meeting of
those interested should be called. Then
if sufficient number of cows can be
guaranteed an effort should be made to
get the manager Of a successful cream
cry to come and thoroughly explain the
advantages and disadvantages of a
creamery and give his suggestions as to
building and equipping a plant A
committee should likewise be appointed
to visit one or more well managed
creameries. The creamery promoter
should be kept away from these meet
ings. By appointing suitable commit
tees to carry out the plans adopted by
the stockholders a creamery can be built
and equipped at com, ratively small
cost and its success be assured from the
start

cow No. 2--IERsEY.

Ayrshires 266, or a difference of 105 be-
tween the highest and lowest. The
variation due to type is 273 pounds.
In similar way the range in the
cost of one pound Of butter between the
breeds is 4 cents, while the range be-
tween the types is SO cents
The range in net profit between
breeds is $16.25 while the range be-
tween types is $41.07
We may conclude, then, says Professor
Beach, that the form or type more than
breed will determine the ability of a
COW to produce butter economically.
The following prices were charged
for feed per ton; Rowen, $40; mixed
hay, $40; corn slower, So; silage, So

Home manufactured flashlights and
candles were in constant use by the
Scotch peasantry. Boiled animal fat
gave the required tallow, and the same
green rushes as were used for cruisie
wick supplied il also in this case.
In making rushlights all the green
coating of these PUSHES was stripped
off, bnt for candle wick n thin strip
was left on either side of the pith to
strengthen and support it. Otherwise
the manufacture of these two lights
was very similar This substance from
the rushes when dried was tied to a
rod. then dipped into the boiling fat
and allowed to cool, and this process
was repeated until the rushlight, or
candle, had become the desired thick
ness IN later years candles were made
in molds The tape was passed through
a hole in the center of the mold and
knotted to prevent it slipping. The fat
was then poured in and allowed to
cool.
These molds, d1ring the days of the
candle tax, were jealously guarded by
the owners and hidden in the most
secret corners from the prying eyes Of
the exeiseman. The candles were usual
~ made Il. night in some Clubhouse, and
watchers were posted at convenient
corners to give timely warning of any
approach of the ubiquitous Officer. -

Even the human countenanee seems
to reflect the changes of fashion. No
one who studies modern portrature
can fail to note the resemblance that
runs through the works of the fashion
able painters. 1t is not merely their
characteristic style, but the type which
they have transferred to canvas. and
which borders on sameness. These
well-born, carefully trained beauties of
to-day are as much alike as peas in one
pod. They only vary In degrees OF
course, the artist ''idealizes;' he would
not be an artist did he not find more in
the face before his easel than is visible
at a glance. All the sumptuous detail
of costume also adds to the variety of
a picture; but In pose, in expression,
there is traceable only this one woman
of the end of the century, creature of
superb physique, clothed or unclothed,
like a royal princess. Compare her with
tie pictured women of one hundred or
two hundred years ago, and see how
altogether changed is this eternal
feminine"
