ally anyway and be prepared when the
wave comes this way. Do not be
afraid that the bottom will drop out
of the butter market if you go into
the dairy business. Immense quanti-
ties of butter are exported to foreign
countries. Cinnamon are learning to
eat butter and by the time four hun
dred million of them know now we
will never be able to make enough.
We have got our foot on the cleo
margarine outfit and they will never
be in a position to flood the market.
Farming land in a dairy country is
worth from $50 to 500 or more per
acre. Why not make this a dairy
country?
In the east several ereameries are
to be found in every county, some
times one in every township. They
were formerly operated on whet is
called the whole milk system and
some Of them retain that system yet,
Especially when the country is thick
ly populated or where each farm con-
tains only forty or eighty acres. I'm
der the whole milk system the
patrons take their milk To- the factory
every morning, which takes good
deal of time and they lose, the value of
the warm shim-miIk for feed for the
young stock and hogs. This is quite
an item and the hand separator has
proved paying investment, even to
patrons who are within easy reach OF
the factory machine. Besides the
value of warm milk for feed it is a
saving of time and labor, as they have
only one can of cream to take to the
creamery in place of five Or six CANS
OF milk and, as a rule, every other
day Is often enough to bring the
cream. However, the oftener the
cream is brought to the creamery the
more certain will be a good product
In this connection it might also be
stated that absolute cleanliness is a
necessary factor in producing a good
and keepable quality of butter. Wash
your separator Immediately after
skimming is completed as the longer
it is left the harder it is to get it
clean. "
In our state the hand separator is
the only salvation as the farms are as
a rule too large to make the hauling
of milk profitable, without taking in
to consideration the value Of the
warm skim milk from your own herd
for feeding purposes as stated be-
fore. For sometime to come we can
not make it pay to establish cream
eries too close, but the transportation
of cream is very reasonable SO if a
creamery is not accessible to you
take it to your station and ship it to
the nearest creamery until you can
get one in your own neighborhood.
would not encourage the central
izing system, but creamery in a
community that has not proper sup
port is more of a detTiment to the
dairy interests than an advantage.
Any creamery that is conducted on
business principles and has reached a
paying basis, can pay you just as
much for your cream as a large
storage company.
