DISCONTENT AMONG PATRONS OF
BUTTER FACTORIES.

As regards the feeling of discomfort
among the patrons of different creamer-
les in Maine, think the main cause lies
in the lack of knowledge on the part of
the farmer, as regards the Babcock test,
and the relation of butter fat to CONNER
cial butter; also many farmers do not
have enough confidence in the manage
ment of their respective creameries.
They are apt to think that il their tests
vary from month to month that the but
ter maker is not giving them their just
dues.
One thing that breeds discomfort is
for the patron to take some of his cream,
which he has taken the pains to weigh,
and churn it, adding at least two ounces
of salt to the pound of butter made. He
then compares the weight of salted but
ter with the cream from which it was
made, and figures out his test from that
standpoint, and if that does not agree
with the composite test which he may
have received at his creamery, he thinks
something is wrong and loses faith in
his butter maker.
/ think farmers, as a rule, put too
much stress upon the test they may re-
ceive. They all want a high test, or at
least as high as their neighbors. In
fact l have heard of patrons putting in
skim milk with cream, expecting to re-
ceive about the same test as they would
have without the addition of the milk,
so little faith had they either in the way
of testing, or the man who did it. Such
men should visit the creamery and see
the work done, or be convinced in some
way.
l believe if patron is getting robbed
at the creamery where he is sending his
cream, he has right to investigate, and
see whether he can justly kick or not.
Doubtless there is less discomfort
among the cooperative creameries of
the state than among the proprietary
ones, and yet there should be more CO.
operation for good product in all cream
cries.
| for one should like to see free and
open discussion upon this matter, that
we may better understand each other,
and that we may produce better article
for the trade.
There is no reason why we in this
state, where creameries are located not
more than 10 miles apart, cannot make
as good a product as in other states. l
would like to see the farmers keep more
and better cows, thus the cost of gather
ing would be reduced. The farmer
would take more interest in his work,
his farm would be made better and there
would be less discontent.-Turf, Farm
and Home.

BUTTER FAT IN MILK.

DEAR SIR Can you inform me through the
columns OF your paper what 10 q good fair test
of milk. l have herd Of COWS that test from
AZ per cent. to per cent. butter fat and one
heifer that was fresh IN milk Jan. 1st that tests
SIS PEI cent. by the Babcock test. i want to thin
out the cows that do not come up to what they
ought to, TO make them profitable to keep.
Yours truly, w. n. BATCHELDER,
West Levant.
A milk containing 3.5 to 4 per cent.
butter fat is a good milk for use in the
whole form. Milk from Jersey and
Guernsey cows is usually somewhat
richer than this. Milk containing per
cent. butter fat is considered rich milk.
The cows are not common whose milk
will test 5 per cent. when giving full
flow. There are herds of Jerseys in the
state, however, that have record of an
average of 5 per cent. There are indi-
vidual cows that have record even
higher than this. The per cent. OF but
ter fat in milk varies at the different
stages of location being richer as the
COW shrinks away in her fow.-Aaine

There is great danger that net

Labor is unsettled and it's demands

Little count is taken of the fact that

railroads paid their labor better than
they really could afford. The unions
