SAUK VALLEY CREAMERY.


In June last O. S. Cass purchased
the building and machinery of the
Sank Centre creamery, and moved
it to his farm, a mile south of the
city. He purchased an Alpha
De Laval separator and other ma
chinery for operating modern
creamery, and opened for business
on the 18th of that month. The
progress and growth of the bust
ness has been steady, and last week,
notwithstanding the decreased flow
of milk, due to the season, he made
more butter than in any week since
he started. His patrons have in
creased the milk-delivery and new
patrons have been added, and the
present indications are that in the
spring he will have to make ma
terial improvements to keep up with
demands. AS it is he is forced to
put in larger power churn at once.
His product is largely shipped to
New York, where it commands the
top price. In place of variety Of
Indifferent and variously graded
supply of butter he has taken from
the competition of the local mar
ket more than 1000 pounds of but
ter a month, and sent it to the east
ern market. This alone has tended
to give farm dairies a better price
for their goods.
In this connection the HERALD
call attention to the fact that this
city consumes very little creamery
butter. The home market is very
small and most of our merchants do
not handle it to any amount.
While Mr.. Cass can ship his
butter to New York at renumerative
prices he feels that it would be more
satisfactory to him if he could
steadily supply the trade and fami-
lies with stated amount each week.
1t would at least show an apprecia-
ton by the local public.

Clean Milk ana Butter.

The first essential to securing clean
and healthful milk is a clean and
healthful cow. 1t is next to impossi-
BILE to secure clean and pure milk from
a dirty cow. 1t is impossible to get
healthful milk from all unhealthy cow.
Given clean and healthy cow, she
must be provided with sufficient
quantity of clean, healthful and nu-
tritious food and water. This is the
second essential. The third essential
is that the person who does the milk
ing and the place where the milking is
done shall also be clean and healthful.
A dirty mixer. one with dirty hands,
cannot do clean milking.
The fourth essential is keeping the
milk clean until it is to be used.
Much more milk is damaged before it
gets. out of the cowhouse than after;
nevertheless, eternal vigilence is
necessary from the milk pail to the
butter plate. Wash, rinse, scald,
scour and sun all the milk vessels is
the only programme that assures sue
cess.
Clean and pure butter can only come
from clean and pure milk. Once filth
of any kind gets into milk, it's essence
stays there. Straining, aeration,
separation, each does something, and
all may do much toward cleaning milk,
but the only safe or satisfactory way
is never to let it get in. Purity is in
deed cleanliness, and cleanliness is
health.-N, K. Franklin, in Jersey
Bulletin.

A creamery has been organized

Joseph Nichols has been giving the
matter great deal of'attention, and
he says he expects everything will

which will give capitalization, at
$50 each, of 80, 500.
That section of country is ripe
for creamery and located as it will

THE MEIER GROVE CREAMERY.
One of the most successful cream
cry organizations operated in this
vicinity is the one at Meier Grove.
The farmers tributary to it are CIV
ing itliberal support, and their re-
turns are highly satisfactory. One
patron who is keeping. twenty COWS
says that he raises more grain on
his farm than before he purchased
his COWS, and last year he received
$s54.OO from the creamery which
he says is just so much additional
profit. Another patron received
$11s. 90 in one month for the cream
from eighteen COWS, and had all the
skim milk left to feed his young
stock. These are not fanciful fig
ures, but the reliable experience of
practical farmers
By the courtesy of Herman H.
Meyer, the business manager, the
HERALD is permitted to lay before
it's readers the condensed financial
statement of the creamery for the
year Just ended:
Milk received, pounds, 3,46O, 800
Butter made, pounds 150,277
Butter returned to pa
irons, pounds e,29s
Receipts for butter $685. %
Paid patrons for cream 24,esO II
Paid in dividends 800 90
Taxes, improvements, 800 90
Running Expenses 1858 25
The dividends paid to stockhold-
ers were not large in the aggregate,
and yet they amounted to 2oper cent.
But that was small thing compared
to their profits from the sale of
cream.
