Figuring a Cream Check.

Do you know how to figure cream
check? Suppose you had 112 lbs. of
cream sent to the factory, and butter
was 1884 cents per pound. The aver
age test, 80 per cent; price for max
ing, cents. How should it be figured
out? This way:
One hundred and twelve pounds of
cream testing 80 per cent contains 1876
pounds of butter fat. Where modern
methods of butter making are fol-
lowed, there will be an overrun of IS
to 20 per cent in churning cream;
that is, for each pound of butter fat
in the cream 1.18 to 1.20 pounds of
butter will be obtained. Taking the
latter figure we find that 1876 pounds
of butter fat would make 40.3 pounds
of butter, which, at 1884 cents
pound, will bring $13.11. The maker
receives 2 cents a pound, or 81 cents
in all, leaving $3.50 to the credit of
the patron. This figure is, of course,
only approximate, since the conditions
in the factory which influence the yield
of butter are subject to considerable
variations, but it is not likely that a
larger overrun than 20 per cent will
be obtained under good management,
so that the patron can not expect to
receive more than the amount stated
for his cream.

THE DAIRY
THE MISTAKES OF DAIRYMEN.
(Henry Wallace.)


BY "dairymen" in this article we
mean any man who keeps COWS, wheth-
er for his own use or for the sale of
their products in market either as the
main or minor part of his business.
We have had good deal to say on this
subject for some time past, because
we realize that the farmer has not
kept up this end of his business as
he should. The average western far
mer expects to get his main revenue
from corn, small grain, cattle, hogs,
and horses, and has not given the at
tention to the dairy department that
its Importance requires. Hence he
is continually making mistakes, some
of them very serious ones.
The first mistake that farmers make
is in being satisfied with any old thing
in the shape of a COW. The farmer
who is satisfied with COW that yields
only three thousand pounds of milk
a year does not understand the very
first principles of dairying. Three
thousand pounds of milk with 4 per
cent butter fat which is a little above
the average, means one hundred and
twenty pounds of butter fat year,
and that will not pay the expense of
keeping a COW even a year on the
farm. 1t is therefore very serious
mistake to begin doing business at
what every man must see is loss
1t is for this reason that we have in
sisted on the farmer testing his COWS
and finding out what they actually
yield both in pounds of milk and per
cent of butter fat.
Another great mistake that farmers
make is in feeding their cows the
wrong kind of feed. Many farmers
feed them on timothy hay and corn.
They did so last winter, and will do
so next winter unless we succeed in
waking them up. You might just
about as we'll not feed a dairy COW at
all as to feed her timothy hay and corn
alone. You might about as we'll feed
her straw as timothy hay; and if you
feed her no grain but whole corn, she
will not give you profit no matter
what her milking capacity may be.
Even if a cow has milking capacity
of six, eight, or ten thousand pounds
a year, if you don't give her the ma
terials to make milk out of you can't

holders in proportion to the amount
of stock they hold.
Following are the officers who will
guide the destinies of the association
for the first year:
G. R. Cotterill, president, box 115,
R. F. D. 1, Kent; G. L. Roper, first
vice president O'Brien; J. L. Rob

get the milk Timothy and corn are
not milk-making materials. Timothy
hay is high now, and it will be as high
all winter. Inasmuch as it is not fit
feed for the COW, give her straw or
corn fodder in it's place, and sell your
hay to the man who is willing to pay
a good price for it and can use it for
feeding his horses, or his cows if he
don't know any better. Take the
money you get for the timothy and
buy clover hay or bran.
Another mistake that farmers make
is not feeding their COWS enough. 1t
would be poor policy enough to run
threshing machine with simply suffi-
cient horsepower to make it go with
out threshing any grain. 1t would be
be foolish to run it without sufficient
power to handle all the grain that you
can feed it. In the case of the COW
the feed is the power, and no matter
how big the machine is, if you don't
give it enough feed you can not make
any money. Isn't that as plain and
simple as anything can be?
Another mistake farmers make, and
especially those who directly or in
not having the quality above suspicion.
Every now and then there is consider
able talk about tuberculosis among
COWS. There is a good deal of that
kind of talk just now, and citizens will
begin to get suspicious of milk. The
only way, then, is to get your milk
above suspicion by knowing yourself
and giving other people to understand
that there is no possible danger in
using milk from your farm; that it is
from clean COWS and clean stables,
and handled by clean men.
For this kind of milk there will be
such a market in the next ten years
as we have never seen before. Why?
Because all kinds of meats are high,
and the public is looking for a substi-
tute for these high priced meats. The
best substitute, and the cheapest, is
milk. A quart of milk contains as
much nutritive value for the human
body as pound of beef. When the
public is educated to know this, and
can get the kind of milk they want,
they are not going to pay twenty-five
cents pound for beefsteak when they
can get milk at ten cents quart, and
they will not stop buying it when it
goes up to fifteen or even twenty cents
Pure milk sells today in the market
cheaper than any other kind of food.
This is an important matter to the
man on the farm. When his milk is
absolutely pure and he begins to un-
derstand that the food value of
quart of milk is equal to that of
pound of beef, he is going to buy beef
only for chanp0 and uS0 milk in all
sorts of forms for much larger por-
ton of his diet than he has ever done
heretofore.

Because timothy hay can be fed
with such splendid results to horses
is no reason that it is even suitable
roughage for sheep. The breeding
eve can make but very poor use of
the very best timothy. 1t helps to in
duce constipation, which is bound to
breed trouble. Glover or alfalfa hay
and corn slower make a much better
fodder for sheep, as any of these tend
to keep the digestive tract open.

Hogs and sheep will often do well

GREAT BUILDING
OVER IN MILLVlLLE.

The following correspondence indi-
Gates the great building boom that has
been over in Millville:
1.-The West Side, as it is called in
Millville, is over Main street bridge,
and is now the prettiest residential
section of the city. Ten years ago it
was forest, and no one thought of
building a home over Maurice River.
Within the last three years Oity Coun-
oil has opened new streets, and nearly
300 building permits have been grant
ed. Sons of the finest homes are now
located there. Lots are being sold for
prices ranging from $500 to $1,000 and
the homes being erected on them,
principally by the glassblowers, cost
about $4,000 to $4,000. tt is the most
beautiful section in this part of the
county. and Main street is the prin-
cspal driveway, The Board OF Educa-
tion has erected q $50, 900 school
building in the centre of the booming
district, and Ohief Ludlam, of the
Fire department., has asked Council fer
an additional fire honse. The citizens
of the West Side are very proud of
their section and contemplate further
improvements.
Since the establishing of a standard
grade was started IN Millville by the
surveyors 1t has beeA learned that
many sidewalks are too low, and
costly cement and ssone pavements
will have to be reconstructed to con-
form with the grade as will be required
by Millville City Council. For many
years the citizens have urged that
grade be established, but each time
the proposition was laid over" until
it was forgotten by the City Fathers,
After waiting for some months for the
grade, and having nothing doing'
until they were weary the citizens
would guess the grade and lay their
sidewalks. Some of tho best sidewalks
in Millville are said to be much 500
low. The property owners have not
commenced to tear them up, however,
and threaten to make trouble before
they do so.''

the names and fees CT competent en-
gineers, for the purpose OF making an
examination of cur entire water syg-
tenn, the names to be submitted at the
next meeting of Council for it's ap-

Mr.. Marks moved as a substitute
that the committee be authorized to
sink test wells at the TumbIing Dam
Park for the purpose of ascertaining if
there was water supply there.
The substitute was passed unani-
mously
A five minute recess was then taken
and Councilmen looked over three
samples of street markers submitted
for their approval
Mr.. Craig moved that the matter of
street signs be left with the Street
and Sidewalk Committee to report
back prices at the next meeting

Powers of Railroad Commission

Powers of Railroad Commission,
Trenton, Sept. 10.-The State Rail
road Commission to-day received an
OPT MON from General Attorney Nc
Garter as to the commiss ions power
to compel railroads to abolish grade
crossings. The Attorney General de-
cided that the commission had no such
power. It's duties, he said, are simply
supervisory, and all they could do was
to take steps against railroads to en-
force existing laws and to make re-
Communications to the railroads and to
the Legislature.
I In the opinion of the Attorney
General the law creating the Railroad
Commission had been imperfeotIy
drawn il the closing hours of the
Legislature.
The commisson had before it 21 re-.
presentatives of different railroads,
and discussed the question of safety
appliances. 1t was learned that the
larger roads We're pretty we'll equipped
in this direction in compliance with
Federal regulations, and it was sug-
gested that representatives of the
small roads which were not present
be invited to a conference before any
futher steps are taken in the matter.

WONDERFUL DAN PATCH.
FASTEST Pacing Horse in the World .
Gentry Bros.

FASTEST Pacing Horse in the World at
0entry Bros. b
There are thousands of people in the
country who are lovers Of the horse
and not only so, but even good judges,
who, if their business and circum-
stances permitted, would travel thous-
ands Of miles to see such a world
famous animal as Dan Patch. To such
as these Gentry Bros. Of the Famous
Shows United bearing their name, are
deeply indebted for having secured
the only life moving pictures ever
taken Of this famous animal. Numer-
GUS offers have been made by various
picture machine companies, photog-
raphers, and show men for the privilege
Of taking moving pictures of the
greatest pacing horse that the world
has ever known. After considerable
trouble and vast expense, Messrs.
Gentry finally secured the sole right to
reproduce this world famous horse in
action, and they have succeeded in
taking twenty-eight hundred wonder
full moving pictures of Dan Patch,
which they had taken at the Mime
sofa State Fair, where he drew an
audience Of ninty y-three thousand people
who witnessed the marvellous perform
ance of this beautiful animal, as he
beat the worlds record for one mile,
pacing the distance in 1:55. These
wonderful pictures show Dan Patch's
performing in its entirety, from the
crack Of the pistol, until his nose
reached the wire. The pictures which
are exhibited in the Gentry Bros.
Famous Shows are absolutely the only
ones in existence, and to see this
famous horse, flying along with all
four feet off the ground at one time,
is simply wonderful. It is as thrilling
as seeing the original race and when ii
is borne IA mind that Dan Patch has
broken fourteen worlds records in
three years, lovers Of the horse cannot
fail to be delighted with this wonderful
reproduction, which is as unparalleled
in the history OF life motion pictures as
is the performance Of the greatest
pacing horse the world has ever known
The Gentry Brothers Famous Shows
United will exhibit here on Wednes
day, August 9Th.
