Farms Dairy company. Her record at
years and 8 months is Is pounds 1873
ounces of butter in six days.
California Creameries Prosper.


We learn from the fourth biennial re-
port of the state dairy bureau Of Cali
fornia that the output of butter for the
past year has been over 100000
pounds. The report shows that the
healthy growth is confined to counties
where alfalfa is largely grown by irri-
cation. This years crop is little over
100000 pounds in excess of 1898 and
100000 pounds better than in 1901.
California is prospecting, and the diaries
and creameries Of the country are do
ing their share toward it.-Creamery
Journal
Dairying Ia North Dakota.
Professor e. e. Kaufman of North
Dakota in discussing the creamery
business of his state, says that the rap
id increase in new factories the past
year seems like sufficient assurance
that the farmers Of North Dakota will
engage extensively in dairying. There
are two prominent reasons why more
advancement in the wheat growing
section has not been made-first,
large percentage of farmers are loath
to give up the idea of growing wheat
where they are reasonably sure Of
fair crop; second. in the Red river
valley there is an insufficient number
of COWS within reasonable distance to
make a creamery successful. The pas
ture lands are not accessible to many,
and the scarcity of help must be taken
into account That considerable inter
est is shown in dairying is proved by
the fact that over 100 hand separators
were sold in North Dakota during the
past season. Most creameries in this
state are run on the combination plan
that is, they receive both milk and
cream. The large immigration the
past two years from Iowa and Illinois
is already having a noticeable effect
on the dairy industry and will IN
doubtedly tell largely in the next few
years.
Inexcusable.
Absolute cleanliness in handling and
caring for milk, we are sorry to say, is
very much neglected by some farmers.
Often this neglect is due to lack OF
proper thought on the part of the farm
er or dairyman rather than to willful
neglect, but we cannot say that this IS
excusable.-Dairy and Creamery.
Water Necessary.
AS milk contains 50 per cent Of water
it will readily be seen that cow can
hardly be expected to give large flow
of milk unless she can have chance
to drink in comfortable place
