ADVANTAGES offered by all the large
islands of the county for dairNlng AMI
stock raising and has frequently urged
the farmers to turn their attention to
this great branch of the Agricultural
industry as the surest means of obtain
ing a steady income and cnrichns IN
stead of impoyerishing their land.
Three wears ago there were only one
or two separators i'm the county and
not a single cream can was to be seen
at any steamboat landing. Finally
creamery was started here by "a man
who had unlimited faith in the in
dustrv but quite limited capital for
its development. It was late I'm the
season when the creamery was ready
for operation and comparatively few
farmers were we'll supplied with dairy
cattle or prepared to 80 into dalrylnS
as a business. As a consequence lit
tie progress was made the first year.
There was a separator in the creamery
the first season and the greatest
amount of milk received in any one
day was 6O0 pounds. Now every
dairyman has his own separator and
only the cream is shipped TO the cream
cry. In one day this week over three
thousand pounds of cream were churn-
ed making LOCO pounds Of butter.
Although the capacity of the churn
now used is 30 gallons of cream,
very much larger one is needed. IN
stead of putting in larger chum this
season however. it has beeen decided
to run the plant day and night while
the cream supply keeps up TO the pre-
sent high point It is expected that
it will be necessary TO double the ca
pacity of the plant next season and
that within a year or two more, if
the number of patrons continues to
increase as it has during the past
year, the San Juan creamery will be
one of the largest in the state. Even
now the proprietors are paying out
for cream from $500 TO 5000 a week.
A number of dairymen are getting
from $75 to 500 a month.

our ration when We weary of the
milder products of the creamery. We
feel quite proud of the business-like,
suuare-fronted building planted among
the British Columbia giants and backed
by eternal Businesses which even a
deer does not care TO cross; but its
sudden appearance so soon after the
launching of the creamery seems al
most sinister i'm its significance and an
uneasy undorcurent of thought hints
that there are some who look for a
sudden influx of "baby beef al Christ

Mysterious Disease Affecting Cows.

Mysterious Disease Affecting cows
Mr.. e. Zweegman one of the val
ued subscribers of The Ranch in
Whatcom county, has among some
of his COWS disease that even the
state veterinarian has been unable to
diagnose from the description fur
nished by Mr.. ZWeegman. We have
never heard of such symptoms before.
In writing to The Ranch for rem
edy Mr.. ZWeegman says: Il have
COW that has had her calf, and was
all right up to between the Sth and
10th DAYS The milk flow was good,
then all at once the COW became stu
bid. the milk decreased gradually, and
her breath and milk smelt as if she
was feverish The pulse is strong
The COW eats less and less, drinks
very lightly. cheWs her cud once in
while and becomes very poor This
lasts as much as three weeks, then
she RECEIVERS slowly. AT first The man
ure is soft and natural, but later on it
seems to form in crustS. | have two
COWS in my herd that have had the
disease. They had their first calf
when three years old, in the winter
time. which probably caused them to
catch cold NOW one had nef caII
June 9Th. and | noticed her ailing on
June 18th. The other one will come
in fresh in a few days The one that
has just come in has her third calf,
and it appears that she had the dis
ease each time | fear the other one
will have the same trouble again
Mr.. Zweegman has been instructed to
consult the veterinarian in Belling-
ham, as it is probable a personal eX-
animation will enable him to diagnose
the case. If any others of our read
ers have had experience with this
form of disease The Ranch would like
to have a full statement from them.

THE DAIRY
Butter Prices During May.

one OF NUMBER VINO sell cream TO
local creamery Said concern agrees
TO pay us Seattle market price less 5l2
cents for making. Would 2012 cents
be a fair price for high class cream
cry butter ON the Seattle market for
the month of May? 1t was some
cents better last year
The query is pertinent and The
Ranch is glad of an opportunity to
make a few statements regarding the
butter market. In Seattle during the
month of May the price for native
creamery butter on Western Avenue
ranged from % to % cents. Preyi-
Gus TO April 2S it was % cents and up.
On that date it dropped to 30 cents
and remained stationary until May -.
when it dropped TO 20 cents. This
price obtained until May %, then
went back to - cents and remained
there until June %. A decline to 20
cents again took place on June 20 and
at the time of writing this June %,
there is no change. The prices quot
ed are those paid by the Western
avenue markets. At the retail stores
the prices have ranged from p to 25
cents
We are not informed as to local con
ditions affecting the creameries in the
Sunnyside section, but taking the Seat
tie figures as a basis, the charge Of
51a cents per pound for making is
higher by a good deal than prevails
here. The Seattle creameries are
charging cents per pound for max
ing, marketing, carrying accounts, col
lections, etc. In a few instances the
charge is 21a cents. The overrun is
estimated at Is per cent and Seattle
creameries allow their patrons about
10 per cent OyerTun. The per cent
that the creameries retain means
about IL cents for them. Thus the
creameries make a gross profit OF
about 312 cents per pound, and it
costs them about > cents for manu-
featuring and incidental expenses,
leaving a net profit of 70 cents per
pound If the Sunnyside creameries
are able to manufacture butter at a
net cost of cents, their charge OF
80 cents per pound means 80 cents
net profit 1t is impossible to say
how much a pound butter should cost
for making as conditions vary In
every locality The dairy commits
sioner of Iowa found after an eX-
tended investigation that the cost of
y
expense except hauling of milk. freight
to market, and commission, varied
from IL to cents a pound. These
two extremes were found in cO-Opera-
tive creameries The lowest cost was
in a creamery making a half-million
pounds. the highest in a cooperative
creamery making less than 10000
pounds annually It should be re-
membered always that the small
creamery or cheese factory must
charge a larger figure for cost per
pound than the large one. The Iowa
commissioner established the follow
ing scale of cost after his investiga-
ton: In creameries making not more
than 10000 pounds annually the cost
was 314 cents per pound; between
10000 and 100, 900 pounds. 236 cents;
between 100000 and 10000 pounds,
/ % cents between 100000 and 200
600 pounds. 1.7S cents; between 200.
600 and 100000 pounds. III cents.
These are the figures for Iowa, where
labor is cheaper and other expenses
somewhat less than in the state of
Washington

RAY,WANTS
$4,000 FOR
ASSAULT

Suit TO recover 5000 damages for alleged
assault and battery by William Green
against David L. Ray. of Providence.
Mrs Green occupied a house on Broad
street in this city. which Mr.. Ray bought
on May 18th last. Mr.. Ray thought the
house needed some alterations and went
there with another man.
Mr. Greene declares no legal notice was
given him 90 get out nor was any men
ton made TO him OF the proposed altera-
tions.
Words passed between the tenant and
owner and the former claims Mr.. Ray
seized a stick and struck him. After re-
covering somewhat from the effects or
the blow Mr.. Greene went 10 the Fourth
police station TO make a complaint against
Mr. Ray. The latter had seen the police
first and they were not enthusiastic over
Mr. Greene's story.
