CREAM GATHERING FACTORY.
Number of
Creameries

At the meeting of the creamery ex-
perts of Canada, the cream gathering
factory was largely under discussion.
Mr.. Ruddick during the discussion
said:
81 believe" said he, 1--WE would in
short time reach a high standard In
factory production if all our factories
were conducted on the whole milk
system. But | have come to the con-
clusion the hand separator system is
in some sections apparently the only
alternative for the continuation OF the
home dairy system. | still believe 1t
would be better if we had nothing but
the whole milk system, but 1t we are
to have the hand separator system, we
must endeavor to make the best OF 1t.
1 will repeat here what have said be-
fore. that as good butter can be made
under the cream-gathering system as
under the whole milk system, but in
order to do this, the conditions must
be right There must be more fire.
uuent delivery of cream so as to en-
sure it's delivery while still sweet.
There must, too, be direct control over
the supply from each patron. Ii the
cream from all patrons is to be dump
ed into one common vat, then the man
who receives it must be in the same
position as the maker to reject that
which is unfit. 1t would be still better
if we could have individual cans for
each patron"
Mr.. McPeters made a statement on
this point, based on his experience as
creamery inspector in Western Ontar-
10 during the past summer "It has
been suggested" he said, chat the in
structors try to meet those who haul
the cream, at the beginning of the
next season, for the purpose of educat-
ing their sense of smell so that they

ter would be manufactured. The fed
eral government will not permit any
butter to be exported to foreign coun-
tries, which will not score 80 points,
so if we are to compete in the markets
of the world we must raise the stand

You will notice that the number of
cheese factories has decreased from
Al to "a but the product has increased
1866 pounds. 1 cannot explain why
the cheese product does not increase
more rapidly as the price of cheese is
correspondingly higher than butter
and the demand is greater.

condition of the creamery business of

PRACTICAL BUTTER WORKING.

In working butter, never slide the
paddle over the surface, such treat
ment Injuries the grain. The best
method is to remove the milk by using
a gentle downward pressure. Excess
sive washing is also injurious to the
grain and general appearance of the
article. Stop churning when the but
terfat globules begin to adhere to
each other, draw off the milk, and
wash in two waters at about So de-
grees, stirring slowly and no longer
than is absolutely necessary TO &C
cOmplish the purpose. Many good
butter makers dispense with washing
altogether, but at some seasons of
the year, where facilities are not of
the best for keeping the cream at a
low temperature, it is almost neces-
sary to use cold water in cleansing
the butter. The cream at churning
time should be evenly ripened and at
about 65 degrees.

will be in position to reject contri-
buttons which are not up to the mark,
l have" he continued, "been spoken
of as a crank in the matter of the Bah
cock test, but I believe the Babcock
would be much more satisfactory than
the oil test in the case Of cream gath
ering factories. With the oil test
find that patrons deliberately try to
ripen their cream at home, because a
sample taken from the ripened cream
will give a more liberal reading with
the oil test than will sweet cream. On
the other hand, the Babcock test will
give a rather better reading if the
cream is sweet. For this reason, if
none other, approve of the Babcock
test as basis of payment for cream
supplied to cream-gathering factories"

HEARD ON
QUESTION
OF DECREE

Chief Justice Stness and Justices TIL
lingilast and Douglas heard the case OF
Lonsdale company and others against
the city OF Woonsocket on the question
of entering a decree enJoining the city OF
woonsockss from taking any water from
Crooks Falls brook.
The court arrived at no decision. but
stated an opinion would be handed down
later.
Five months ago the court decided
that as shown by the masters report the
city OF Woonsocket had been using tho
waters OF Crooks FaAs brook and that
unless condemnation proceedings were
begun an Injunction would be issued,
stopping the use OF water. An injunc-
ton was not granted Immediately. owing
10 great hardship that woud result
were the citizens OF the northern met
ropolis deprived of the use OF water
The city OF Woonsocket applied to the
general assembly for a law authorizing
II TO condemn. but the house OF rep
resentauves has taken no action In the
matter. City Solicitor France said this
was not his fault when Henry w. Hayes
counsel for the complainants, asked the
court to enter the decree for an injunc-
ton today. Mr.. Hayes charged that the
public feeling that the parties could not
reach an anntcable settlement and that
certain citizens of Woonsocket repu-
dated the bill presented by the city
counsel to the assembly.
After some vigorous statement by City
Solicitor France, Mr. Hayes took back
the assertion that citizens of woonsocket
had repudfated the city councils bill
Judge Douglas told Mr. France that
rhe court had granted him time, ar the
city was in the wrong, so II might be .n-
abled 10 get legislat1on to make things
right Mr. France said the bill pro-
posed by the city council was opposed by
farmers In the assembly, as these far NJ
ers claimed water right above the cor.
plainants He made a very earnest plea
on the hsrdships that would result II the
injunction was granted.
Judge Douglas called attention 70 the
fact that Mr.. Frances clients had AIKEN
the property and were taking the prop
erty Of citizens Of the state
Mr. Hayes decree for an injunction
was taken by the court for consideration
after Judge Douglas had suggested that
II he had drawn such a decree he would
have provided for the courts operating
the water works through a master. Judge
intimated that he would doubt
the wisdom Of such a course.
