THERE IS MONEY
IN CREAMERIES
Continued from Page ~

fungus diseases cause less injury tC
grass, clover and corn than any othel
farm crops, and these are the greatest
dairy foods. The future to the skilled
dairyman is full of promise and
hope"
The average quality of butter hal
wonderfully improved, and the de-
mand is for the best, and this demand
is unlimited and largely unsupplied
The fact is right here in a nutshell
that any farmer who takes up dairyinG
for business, and follows it intelli
gently, using the best tools and i'm
plements for his work, win have a pro
fltable and continuing business sc
long as he may follow it.
Worth Twice as Much.
Separator butter is usually quoted
about twice the price Of hand made
farm butter, from twenty to thirty
cents when the latter Is eight tC
twelve cents, and the reason is that
anything that is done by machinery
is done regularly--steadily; steam
doesn t get tired it doesn't move fast
for awhile and then slow; you can
regulate it; you can adjust 1t to ex-
actly the same speed today as you did
yesterday, and the result is that the
machine will take the milk from two
to ten farms--from a dozen or 20C
COWS, and turn the cream out even,
uniform, of the same grade and tenn
perature, and You can do the same
thing tomorrow, and next day, and
the consequence Is regularity; you
know what you are doing and can de-
pend on your product, and know what
the price will be; and instead OF
twenty farmers sending to the coun-
try store twenty kinds, styles and
grades Of butter. and none of them
as good as the evenly machine made,
there is one large lot of butter, of q
standard quality, neatly boxed and
labeled, shipped to the city market
and sold for cash. And 1t Is In those
communities where the separator IL
used that thrift and success prevail.
Reason For Separator Creamery.
IL takes from 10 to 25 per cent more
cream from milk than any other sys-
TEN.
II makes more butter from the same
amount OF cream, as 1t churns more
completely and quicker.
1t enables you to make 25 cent but.
ter instead of 10 to IL cent butter.
1t enables eight COWS to make al
much butter as twelve would under
the old system.
1t saves from 25 to so per cent Of
the labor in handling the milk.
1t takes the great burden of caring
for the milk from the house.
You pay taxes on the farm, keep
fences in repair, keep horses and hir-
ed help, movers, ETC., to support the
COW you milk twice day. Then af-
ter all this expense and trouble, you
waste Is per cent of the cream. DO
you waste 25 per cent of the corn,
hay, wheat, etcY. Why then not save
all the creamY You cannot afford to
feed cream worth 20 cents pound to
make 4-cent pork or Scent veal, or
fertilize the ground with 1t. You
might as well throw away rs per cent
of your cash, because cream Is the le-
gal tender or cash the COW gives you
for her accommodation, shelter, feed,
etc. Consider your own interests.
Farmers, Stop and Thinkl
No place to sell your milkP Butter
too low to pay to churn itf These
difficulties need not stand In your
way, If you desire to make something
Of your COWS. One hundred farmers
make one hundred kinds of butter.
The poor spoils the good and IL has
to go for grease this loss will CON
tinue for the lack of operation.
A butter and cheese factory built
in neighborhood win pay for itself
twice by advancing the price of milch
COWS. II factory Is not built, this
great loss would build a factory every
year.
The demand of the trade Is for the
best fresh made butter of uniform
quality and the factory Is fast sup
planting the farm dairy.
Encouraging Reports.
"a cooperative creamery secures
TO the farmer and milk producer abso-
lutte independence. 1t places every
COW keeper in the position of man
ufacturer, with the very best of CON
ditions, and all advantages secured
by most approved appliances and ex-
perience. II affords every one such
facilities as they can only obtain
through rather considerable outlay
of money in the dairy, and eliminates
from the duties of the women of the
household that painstaking and labor
ious care and attention necessary for
successful production of marketable
goods. A well built and properly
managed creamery, with intelligent
patrons behind it, Is, and will CON
tinue to be, blessing TO the district
where it is located. Better butter Ia
produced and at less expense than in
the private dairy, and, of course,
brings higher price. IL Is better
because made by experts, approved
apparatus, with less expense, because
one or two men do the work that
would require the labor of more than
one hundred women. The goods are
made in style just as they are wanted
by the dealer or consumer. Being un-
form In quality, the salesman is able
to realize large price, From ad-
dress of President johnson, at Illinois
State Dairymen's Association.
Through a cooperative creamery
the farmer secures good investment,
an increase of products an increase of
value; not inconsiderable saving of
labor at the house; regular monthly
payday gain of soil fertility.
Through cooperative creamery
the merchant secures a regular time
for prompt settlement with his farm
customers freedom from shoe box
butter, and losses inherent to its hand
ling; and the circulation of a nice
amount of cash in the neighborhood
every month.
Hon. II. ID. Sherman, of Iowa, says
that the butter of the entire milk that
is manufactured on the farm in the
State loses at least fifty per cent of
it value for the want of proper CON
ditions or the exercise of proper skill
in its production. TO this fact Is due
the origin of the factory system, where
the making Of the goods was placed in
competent hands.
Why the System Makes Cows Pay.
