Messrs. Editors:-I am a young man, seriously
thinking of entering the dairying business; and,
while / have had no practical experience in the
business, save in a limited way, yet have studied
it, theoretically, quite at length. And thus, with
facts and figures, have painted a very highly
colored view of the professional high indeed
that 1 feel a little misgiving that there is some
thing amiss. which / haven't seen; thus rendering
my picture somewhat overdrawn.
Now the question that / ann DESTROYS of a little
light upon is this: If a New England dairyman
can make a living-and some of them get rich
selling butter at fifteen and 90 cents a pound, and
milk at two and three cents per quart, why isn't
there a ready road to success in the business in
North Carolina-butter, twenty-five and thirty
cents a pound, and milk six cents Fer quart-for
the man who has a love for the work, and is will
ing to give his time and attention to the pro-
fession2
For to begin with, the Northern man has to
build a barn, costing a sraell fortune, to protect
his cows from the inclement weather; whereas,
most any kind of a shed is sufficient shelter for
our few months of mild winter. Next, hired help,
anywhere in the Northern States, costs twice as
much as in this country. And, we surely have a
great and singular advantage over our Northern
friends in the matter of good, clean feed-the
most direct and ramon question in successful
d~airying. For statistics say that we can produce
more hay and better hay to the acre than New
York State does. Besides, we can raise our hay
on land that has already produced its yearly crop,
thus making the hay cost, practically, nothing.
In fact, the land is even bettered by the hay crop
especially is this so when it is one of the
legumes.
Furthermore, it has been tested and proved that
cows are just as thrifty and productive in this
climate, and less subject to those dreadful mala-
dies, milk fever, abortion, tuberculosis, etc., of
which we hear so much complaint among dairy
men at the North.
Nevertheless. in the face of this bonnie picture
of a North Carolina dairyman, / regret to say,
that all the ~dairymen that i have a personal ac-
Quaintance of, are eking out a mere living, or
else have abandoned tbep rofession altogether and
gone back to seven-cent cotton.
Thus, in conclusion, as f~ore-warned is fore
armed, / wish to ask some of the old and expert
enced dairymen, who are readers of The Progress
sive Farmer, to state through the columns of that
paper whereabouts the leak" Is. So that /, and
all other young men, who have a bent for that
business, may prepare, far as possible, before en-
barking upon such a treacherous vocation.
For, a "leak" that will leave a residue, melting
only even profits with the Northerner, when con-
ditions are so much more In our favor, must be
a very large one. Is the fault in the dairymen
l know, or the business, or both2

Modern Dairying a Science.

Fred J. Eldred, Summit Station, Ohio, at the
last meeting of the Ohio Dairymen's Association,
said: Butter-making is no longer mere guess
work, but it is a science, carried on on scientific
principles. The improvements which go a long
ways toward making fancy creamery butter posi-
BILE are:
/. improvements in the production of milk.
2. The Babcock test.
3. Improvements In cream separators.
4. The pasteurization of cream.
5. The use of starters in producing ~uniforn
flavor.
6. The alkaline test for acidity.
z. Combined churns.
s. Refrigeration.
The improvements in producing milk can be
summed up in the following:
(a) Better equipped and better ventilated barns.
CD Better and cleaner cans.
Co Better knowledge of feeding stufs and
their relative values.
Cd The use of the aerator.
The Babcock test has caused improvements in
separators, raising the capacity from threeuto-
four-fold. It has also taught us to save hundreds
of thousands of dollars by ~skimming cleaner and
churning more exhaustively. 1t has given the
farmer the idea that he must treat his cows better
and take better care of his milk if he expects to
have a good test at the factory.
While pasteurizing is not generally practiced,
it is, with the addition of the starter afterwards.
the means of insuring a good favored butter
where otherwise, difficulties have been had. Many
good butter-makers do not use starters, but it
is wise 70 use one If there is trouble with bad
HdVOF, OF TO make q more uuIIOfm grace OIL UuGIcf.
As for source of starters, one may be obtained
from any good milk which has been properly cared
for, but a more reliable source is to use a pure
culture, which, if properly used, will insure a uni
form favored butter. Indeed, there have been
many instances where starters have saved the
reputation of both butter-maker and creamery
when all other means have failed. So I repeat
starters have much to do with making fancy
creamery butter.
As it has been demonstrated that cream of a
certain per cent of acid to produce the best re-
suits, the alkaline test has come to be used as a
means of telling when cream has reached the
proper acidity for churning. While an old butter
maker can tell closely when his cream is ripened
properly, his standard may vary some and the
harrington acid test furnishes a standard which
will guide him. I think this simple little inven-
ton is one of the greatest helps to a modern
butter-maker In aiding him to produce a fancy
make of butter.
