Iowa Cheese Industry.


According to the last report Of the
Iowa dairy commissioner, there are
now in that state 43 cheese factories,
which is a decrease of nine from the
preceding year. The largest factory in
the state receives about 100000
pounds of milk per year and pays for
1t at the rate of 80 cents per 100
pounds, averaging up summer and
winter. The most successful factory
in the state receives about 100000
pounds OF milk per year and pays for
1t an average of $1.0S per 100 pounds.
The difference between these two fac
tories is that one of them, the smaller,
Is In dairy district and the other
is not, and it costs more to get the
milk to the large factory than to the
small one. Other cheese factories in
the state pay a generally lower aver
age, some of them going down to an
average of 6S cents per 100 pounds
IL Is estimated that the 43 cheese fac.
tories make about 100000 pounds Of
cheese per year, and this sells for
about 100000. The cheese interest of
the state does not seem to be in a
very growing condition, the farmers
and manufacturers being more inter
ested in making butter than cheese.
This is due to several causes. One
is that the price paid for milk for
cheese making is less, as a general
thing, than that paid for the purpose
or making butter. In the case of the
cheese factory also the farmer gets
back no skimmilk, which is a matter
or Importance to the man that has
calves, pigs and chickens to feed. If
this skimmilk is worth 20 cents per
100 pounds, as many claim it to be for
feeding purposes, it will be seen that
the price paid for milk for cheese
must be very much higher than the
price paid for milk to be made into
butter, where the skimmilk is re-
turned. Whether or not a cheese fac
tory can compete with a creamery de-
ponds on whether the creamery is so
situated and so run that it can pay a
good price for milk. We may say
that the Improbable creamery makes
possible the cheese factory under
present prices for cheese. Out of the

taps others do, but reports were not

Light Feeds for Hogs.

Light foods have particular value
for the hogs, possibly for the reason
that most hogs get too concentrated
ration, The chemist in figuring out
the relative value of roots, fruits and
grains, invariably shows that the
grains contain large proportions Of
nutrients and that fruit and roots
contain very little. But the roots and
fruits have qualities that we have
never yet been able to determine and
are certainly worth far more than
the chemist has been able to discover.
There is an action on the general
health and thrift of the animal that
cannot be computed by weight. Roots
and fruits tend to prevent both con.
stipation and indigestion, and are in
that quality medicine for the hogs.
The time of the year is here when
great quantities of wind-fall apples
will be ordinarily left on the ground
to rot. These should be gathered up
and fed to the pigs as soon as the ap.
Piles get large enough to be succulent.
Many Of the wormy apples and culls
can later be disposed of in the same
way. Sugar beets are particularly
valuable, as they contain a large
amount of saccharine matter, which
helps in the fattening. Turnips also
will prove of more value to the hogs
than their analysis would seem to
indicate.

Use Heavy Parchment Paper.

When parchment paper is to be
used in the packing of butter only the
best kind and quality should be used.
The cost is a small matter for any
one package of butter and it is not
safe to use an inferior quality though
there is much of such stuff on the
market. In the battle to secure trade,
low priced articles are always being
put on the market and this is as true
Of parchment paper as of anything
else. Generally the very thin paper
does not afford the protection that
the butter packer supposes he is get
ting. The very light paper is some
of it so loosely made that the spores
of mold once in it find abundant op-
portunity to grow. The cheap paper
often proves to be very expensive in
the end.

Paying the Buttermaker.

The question of the amount of sal
airy to be paid the buttermaker is a
live one in all creameries, whether
they be cooperative or individual
In some creameries the salaries are
too low to give the best results, and
there is no inducement for the butter.
maker to improve the quality of the
product he is putting on the market
Probably no rule can be fixed for the
compensation of the buttermaker, but
the custom is prevailing in some of
our best creameries of paying $50 to
$75 per month. In some, too, the plan
is being adopted of paying $50 and
giving the buttermaker part of the
premium his butter receives on the
market. Thus, if he gets one cent a
pound more than the market price
for his butter, on account of quality,
that is divided between the butter
maker and the creamery. This seems
to be good plan, but what the pro-
portion OF the premium each should
receive must depend on circumstances
1t is evident that in a creamery where
the amount of milk handled is small
the proportion of the premium given
the buttermaker should be larger than
in creamery where a very large
amount of milk is being handled, for
the reason that in the latter case his
salary would be more likely to be
near the living point than in a cream
cry handling a small weight of milk
daily. The fact that buttermakers, as
a rule, get about the same amount of
wages is not factor leading to the
improvement of the butter. 1t is GER
tainly a fact that some are worth
double the price of others, and this
Improvement in service should be paid
for in something more than good
words.

Transplanting Trees and Shrubs at
Niuht

From Paris comes a report that the
gardeners and florists there follow the
practice of transplanting at night
trees that are in full leaf and have to
be transplanted in the spring or sum-
mer. 1t is claimed that the trees do
not wilt when transplanted at that
time. This may be possible, but we
still believe that the time to trans
plant trees and shrubs is when they
are dormant. In hot weather it might
do to transplant garden truck, in the
night. We know that in wet weather
tomatoes and other transplantable
things do better If set out at that time
than they do in a time of drought.
We would like to have our readers re-
port to us the result of any expert.

gether. The idea of transplanting at

practice is worth investigating.
