Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1900-01-25

The advent of the hand separator
greatly lessened the burdens of many
people that were milking cows and
raising cream by means of the old pan
system or were hauling the milk for
many miles to some creamery. 1t has
been blessing in this way, but it is
also proving to be a blessing in an
other Way-it is making it possible for
people to do dairying who never did
uairytng before. Many farmers live so
far from the creamerias that it is quite
lmpracticable for them to attempt to
produce milk unless they expect to
make the butter themselves. Now,
however the hand separator is being
quite extensively used by farmers liv-
ing q long distance from the cream
cries, who separate their milk at home
and send only cans Of cream to the
creamerics. II this has to be sent by
rail or other paid conveyance it is not
such matter, Also a man with a COL
Letting route can make a much larger
circuit, as he has so much less weight
to carry.

1t Is surprising to see how easily
some people arc annoyed. In certain
states the dairymen, or, rather, a few
OF them, express their dissatisfaction
at being annoyed" by health officers
prying around to find if they use pre-
servatlves in their milk, and also in
curing If their COWS have tuberculosis,
and If they wash their cans in well
water that is contaminated oy sewage
from closets that have received the
stools Of typhoid fever patients. One
would suppose that all men would
want the public health preserved, but
some are certainly in favor of the pub
lie health being preserved to the point
only where it does not interfere with
business. The most discouraging
thing about this is that these men
often succeed in stopping such invcsti-
cations, being able to bring about con.
certed action because OF a community
OF interests.

Reports from some of the great but
ter ccnters indicat" that storage butter
is selling well up to the price OF fresh
butter This is due to one or two very
important facts. The first is that much
OF the stored butter is June butter,
and Is superior in color and quality.
lhls butter, though stored, has not to
compete with fresh June butter. but
with fail and early winter butter The
June butter is made largely from fresh
pasture grass, while the fan butter is
often injured by tho weeds that the
COWS eat on account of the shortness
or the pasture grass. The butter that
Is made from milk just after the COWS
nave their first feelings of hay is fire.
gently affected by the taste of the hay.
Every one has noticed this taste in the
milk Just after the cows are put IN"
IN the fall. The stored butter is con-
Stantly receiving more attention at
the hands of the men that store it. and
1t Is therefore being kept today in a
more perfect condition than it was
possible to keep it few years ago.

We are constantly hearing OF patches
OF butter brought onto the market in
such a cond. ion that it has to sell far
eff the regular price to he disposed Of
at ALL Butter poorly packed, poorly
sailed and poorly worked is no uncUm-
mon sight. In many cases the butter
would have been good Il properly
treated. over it all seems 10 be writ
ten the word "carelessness." TO mis-
word might be added the word "igno-
rance" and the whole truth would be
out. More study and more applica-
tons of the lessons learned are ncceB-
sary if butter is to bring the price it
should in the market.
In examining the so-called aquatic
and hydraulic separators, one is struck
BY the force of these woros as mis-
nomors. The great mechanical sep
arators are, in truth. separators be-
cause by their mechanical motion they
separate the milk from the cream.
But tin pan is not separator, for
it does nothing. The separation is not
ACCOMPLISHED by any quality Of the pan
or vessel in which the milk and water
are set. The cream is not separated
by any mechanical agent, but is sepa-
rated through the force Of gravitauUn.
The application Of the term separator
to dishes in which milk is set is UNI
truthful and dishonest. 1t is q delib-
crate attempt to steal reputation and
to reap some advantage from the i'm
mense sums of money that the real
separator companies have paid out for
advertising.

Where farmers wife is dependent
on the grocer at the neighboring sta
ton or village for the marketing of
her butter, measures should be taken
TO establish reputation for the prod
net. 1t is often that the good butter
sells as low as the poor butter. and
this Is largely due to the fact that
buying butter in such places is some
thlng of a lottery anyway. and the
buyers do not propose to pay more
than the price that is going. What
Is butter today is n common query.
just rs if there were some fixed price
at which all butter must be sold. In
every little village, as well as in every
large town, there are sure to be some
that are willing to pay a good price
for butter they know To be first class
and of uniform quality from week to
week. Therefore have the butter
marked in such way that there will
be no doubt as TO its source. The Old
butter print, If used, should have
mark or name on it that will call at
tention to the maker.

An Alarming Case.

Sir William Harcourt once visited a
man-Ofwar lying of the Hampshire
coast. After dinner, the weather prov
ing rather rough. the captain, a small,
dapper man. suggested that Sir VII
liam should sleep on board and surren-
dered his own berth for the night to
the eX-chancellOr of the excheQuer
Next morning the captains sailor
servant. who knew nothing of the
change of herths, brought n cup Of cof-
fee TO the cabin door and knocked once
or twice without receiving an answer.
Somewhat alarmed. he opened the cab
in door and asked:
Don't YOU want your coffee this
morning. sir?"
The only reply was growl, and the
frightened sailor saw a gigantic figure
turn over under the bcdclothes. Drop
ping the coffee. he rushed to the ships
surgeon. cXclaiming:
For goodness sake, sir. come to the
captain! He's speechlesS and swollen

The Bible View

Nlfe-The Bible saws much in fa-
vOr of women, John, | thought that
the lsralites kept their women in the
background: but if they did the
Bible, which Is their history, doesn't.
Husband-Humph. The Israel
ties did well by keeping their women
IN the background. That's where
women should be.
W-But still the Bible saws that
H-Oh, ! know that there are a
few mentioned IN the Bible-there
was Jezebel, she was "a woman.
W-Nes, and there was Ahab: he
was man. And there was
Hts no use talking, Mary.
The Bible is history of men.
Women are mentioned only incident
ally, as they had influence on the
actions of men. The book saws very
little about women compared with
what il does sbont men.
W-(musingly)-You may be
right, after all, John, now when
come to think about it. There is
something, at any rate, it SAYS about
men that 1t does not say about women.
H-(smihngly)-I thought you
would come to your senses. Mary.
What is it that the book saws about
men that it does not say about wom-
en-?
W-(placidly)-It says, "All men
are liars"
Then the husband rose up and put
on his hat and went ont to see what
bind of night it was.
