about the size of peas, then they draw
off the buttermillx, add considerable
amount of water to the butter and
give the churn from ten to twelve adj
ditional revolutions. After this the
water is withdrawn and salt is added,
especially when the Disbrow churn is
used, while the butter is in the churn
and is incorporated with the latter in
the course of about twenty minutes.
In this way from fifteen to sixteen per
cent. of moisture and from three to
three and one-half per cent. of salt is
incorporated in the butter. The tenn
perature of the cream is so regulated
as to make the butter come in about
thirty minutes, and in rather firm con-
dition.

THE DAIRY
Filth and Ignorance in the Way.

Filth and ignorance IN the way.
A creamery operator was telling
about his experiences with the milk
producers and among other things he
said:
ut may look a little hard, but it is
Gods truth that l tell you, when | say
that the men who do the most to pre-
vent my making good butter and get
ting a good price for it are the farmers
who supply the milk. 1t is strange,
isn't it, that the men who are most in
terested in getting out of the market
the most that is in it should act to-
gether right against that purpose? For
instance, | found the other day that
more than half of my patrons were
keeping the nights milk in the stable
over night. | have told them repeated
ly of the danger of that practice, how
it is sure to give the cream a stable
faint and flavor, but they will persist
in it. Is it ignorance or cussedness!
He was told it must be little OF
both. for in most matters we have
usually found that the most Ignorant
men would have the most cusSedness.
But soberly speaking, it seems to re-
uuire an immense amount Of constant
"iacking up' to get the average
creamery patron who does no reading,
to do the right thing in his dairy prac-
ice. This buttermaker said that he
had eleven patrons who read good
dairy literature. 81 have no trouble
with their cream" said he. "If
was going to make butter for prize
l would take their milk above any
other that is brought to the cream
cry"
But really what sort of dairy farm
err must it be who will leave his cream
or milk in foul, sinking COW stable
all night because he is unwilling to
put it in decent, clean place? Prof.
Emery, the Wisconsin dairy and food
commissioner, said that ut is appal-
ling to see the filth and ignorance OF
some men in their handling OF COWS,
milk and cream" We guess he is right.
Such men need not only lot of plain
talk, but they need a dose OF law to
make them do what they ought to do
for their own interest and the interest
of other patrons.

Dairyinq in the Grays Harbor.

There is no more profitable industry
in this section of the country than
that of practical dairy farming, ana IL
should be more generally engaged IN
than it is at present, for the demand
for butter, cream and milk is SO far
in excess of the supply that the danger
of over production is not to be feared,
says the Montesano Vidette. The bust
ness done during May by the Monte
sano creamery is an excellent Illus
tration of what can be realized from
a well managed dairy farm. This one
factory made over ten tons OF butter
during the month, the exact number or
pounds being 20,42S, and the cream
was all supplied by local dairymen'
over $4,000 in cash being paid out TO
the farmers for their products.
]. T. Durdle, the manager OF the
creamery, says he could use twice as
much cream if he could get it, as he
never has enough butter to I'LL even
the local orders from harbor towns, so
that the farmers of the Montesano
district could double their herds an
then be unable to supply the cream
cry with what it requires. When 1t is

Prof. SpiIman on Diversified Farming.

The advice to farmers given by
Prof Spillman, formerly connected
with the state college at Pullman, is
worthy of serious consideration. 1t
is not new, but it is along line of
such Importance that it can not be
emphasized too strongly. There is no
doubt that all who heard him were
impressed by what he said, and the
report of his remarks that has been
published can be read with advantage
by the farming communities through
out the state.
1t is somewhat surprising, after all
that has been said about diversified
farming, that there should be any con-
siderable number who still cling to

Money in the Dairy Business.

What has been done by the men
named below can be done by others.
1t takes only the right knowledge OF
the work and the determination to do
the best all the time to make success
of dairying. No man who is not will
ing to eXpend labor and patience
should enter the business, but there
are thousands who could do better at
dairying than they probably are dong
now at some other line of work.
Adam Stevens, one of the most sue
cessful breeders of Jersey cattle IN
the state, has herd of Is COWS which,
it is stated produced in 1905 an aver
age yield of 5000 pounds of milk each.
An average good yield for COW IS
reckoned between $500 and 1000
pounds year. The milk yielded but
ter fat which he sold for 81 ,4SO.
J. T. Brewer, a rancher near Satsop
in Chehalis county, has herd OF ~
Jersey COWS. Their milk, it is stated,
yielded him a net profit over all ex-
penses of $500 or $50 for each cow
w. F. Spicer, rancher near Spring
dale. has five COWS, from which he
sold so pounds of butter a week all
winter, besides the butter, milk and
cream used by his own family.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-07-01

once realized that this little home in
dustry is paying out to the local farm
ers the large sum of $4,000 year
for cream alone, some idea can be
gained of the Importance of the dairy
interests in this section. 1t is no I'M
common record for farmers here
abouts to make an average of $76 to
$50 per head a year from their COWS,
not counting the value of milk fed to
the hogs or the increase in calves.
There is room in this immediate To-
cality for many more dairy farmers.
The cost of keeping stock in prime
condition is small, owing to the rich
nutritive qualities of the native grass
es, while the market is always certain
at good prices for all the cream that
can be delivered.
In four years the Montesano cream
cry, under the efficient management of
Mr.. Durdle, has increased its output
from 1000 pounds a month to over
10000 pounds, and it could sell twice
as much as it is now making if it
could get the cream.

Excessive churning has tendency
to incorporate a large amount of mois-
ture in butter, but it Injuries the grain.
The usual directions are to stop the
churn when the butter granules are
about the size of wheat or rice kern
els, but most of the creameries do not
stop the churn until the granules are

Intyre in charge.
A new creamery is to be establish
south of Tacoma.
The creamery at Alberni, B. c., is
now in full operation. The product of
the factory is being sent to Victoria.
The people in the vicinity of Proeb-
stel, Clarke county, are discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a cheese
factory in their midst.
A creamery has been established at
Lumby, B. c., and the first butter was
placed on the market two weeks ago,
consisting of 1900 pounds for the first
week of churning.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby Kalama gets creamery. The
ranchers and business men have taken
hold of the matter and most of the
stock has been subscribed, while the
machinery has been secured.
The dariymen who have been furn-
ishing milk to the Borden condensery
at Auburn have come to the cOnclus-
ion that they were being underpaid
for their milk, and they threaten to
stop supplying milk to the factory if
better price is not forthcoming The
price the condensery has been paying
is but nine cents a gallon.
The creamery manager should be
held responsible for all the bad cream
and milk which finds lodgment under
his roof His offense lies in accepting
at first-clasS prices cream which no
mortal man could make into good but
ter In fact, the competition among
the creameries of the west has been
too keen for the permanent welfare OF
any. During the last two years their
mad chase for more business has led
all to take any old stuff named cream,
and what is worse pay a good cream
price for it. Every summer the cream
cry companies send out personal ap-
peals and instructions to the farmers
to take better care of the cream, but
so long as poor stuff is accepted 1t will
remain an ever-present evil in any
country.
A dispatch from Prosser, Wash,
says: "The Hazelwood creamery, OF
Spokane, has just finished disposing of
fifty-six more dairy COWS at Prosser,
making about 100 head taken by the
farmers in this vicinity during the
past three months. The present batch
was shipped in from North Yakima
and sold at an average of about $50
per head. The Commercial club and
Farmers institute induced the Hazel
wood people to come in here, the OBJ
ject being to induce the farmers to
market their alfalfa through dairy
herds and get $40 and $12 per ton for
the product instead of selling it for 81
or SIS. The dairy industry is going to
be a success here and by fall the
Hazelwood company, which will build
pasteurizing plant here, expects to
be gathering cream from $50 head of
COWS in the immediate vicinity OF
PrOsser."

Manhattan Beach Theatre

Blanche Walsh achieved a sensational
triumph, and the "Kreutzer Sonata" a
wonderful ovation, when it was produced
by Managers Wagenhals & Kemper at
the Manhattan Theatre, Monday
night, August 13. The audience, which
crowded the playhouse to the doors, was
wildly enthusiastic. At the conclusion
of the play, with its terrific catastrophe,
Miss Walsh rose to a tragic heiglfh that
electrified the audience. She was forced
to: respond to twelve curtain calls, and
then to make IA speech in which she ex-
pressed briefly and feelingly the kindly
reception given herself and Jacob Cor
din's play.
There is no question but that Miss

A curious Cosnct6ence

i The story of queer coincidence is
told by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. While
travelling upon the continent he visited
a certain mountain inn, which was In
winter, he learned, occupied only by
two men. These men, prisoned In a
waste of snow and ice, had for all that
period no communication With the
world below. Here was situation for
a novelist! And the novelist accord
ingly began to let his imagination play
about the possibilities of tragedy sur
rounding the two men on their noun
tain height. But the story was never
written, for, happening to come upon
a volume of Guy de Maupassant, which
was new to him, he found therein, un-
der the title Of "L'Auberge," the very
story he had meant to- write.
