lis statements. Calves raised on
he milk from hand separated
cream are better than those fed the
milk from whole milk creameries.
The cost Of manufacturing butter in
hand separator creameries is less
han in any other butter factory.
President Carrothers enquired of
Tho speaker if cream coming from a
long distance made as good grade
Of butter as the cream hauled by
neighboring farmers. Mr.. Morse re-
piled that when he was in busine So
The cream that was shipped in made
an inferior grade of butter to that
made by cream brought in near at
home. Pasteurizing cannot make
good cream out of a poor grade.
Mr.. Brayton asked for the reason
why hand separator creameries pay
less for cream than whole milk
creameries, if it is true that the
former can manufacture the cream
at less cost than the latter. Mr..
Morse said, "That has never been
the case unless there was an unfair
profit taken" "That explains it"
answered Mr.. Brayton.
AS to the ownership of hand sep
arator creameries, Mr.. Morse said,
they should be cooperative.
Frank L. Clark in further dis
cussion Of this topic said that cream
shipped from distance was inferior
to that obtained at home, and favors
the hand separator as he thinks it
pays him better. Different men OBJ
tain different results, but on the
whole the hand separator will give
the most remunerative results.
Calves do better on the milk,
and both the milk and cream
are more easy to attend to. Then
the expense Of getting cream to the
factory is less than that of getting
milk there. He agreed with Mr..
Childs that silo feed surpasses all
other feed, especially when you con-
slider the dairy results. The best
time to separate the milk is just af-
ter milking. Never leave either
milk or cream in the COW barn over
night. Cleanliness in the hand
separator is imperative. If the
condition is otherwise the butter
will be poor. Il raise all my calves,
if we sell them we are not liable to
go out and get what we really need
For while l feed them cream meal
to take the place of the cream taken
from the milk" Separators depend
in size upon the work to be done
with them, but all large separators
should be run by power of some de.
scription.
President Carrothers asked Henry
Brayton's ideas on this subject.
| Mr. Brayton answered that if thu
separators are kept clean and til,
cream is not shipped from too grea
a distance, the method would prob.
ably be pretty good. If the price
was the same for all grades of cream
there would be no incentive for til,
production of good cream If the
hand separators pay better and keer
things up to the present STANDARD
they are good thing. II a gooe
creamery is available he thinks i,
wiser to send his milk there rattle
than operate hand separator. Ii
his opinion black cattle make tn
| best beef.
President Carrothers then gave ,
talk on beef cattle. He prefer
keeping cows to raise calves rattle
than for dairy purposes. He en-
forced this statement with reason
based on figures and various result
he himself had obtained.
A. j. Andrews, Frank Clark ant
others then took part in an interest
ing discussion of, whether it is NOR
profitable to keep a COW to raise
calf, or for dairy purposes
Secretary Clute knows of no rea
son why farmer should confine hi
attention to either one or the othe,
He thinks both can be done success
fully in Delaware county. Dair
+ rm;ng has b,en too much neglect
ed in the past but now wise comb
nation of both is a good, profitable
thing.
/ Watson Childs made a few re
} marks upon the hand separate
question. In his opinion if a goo
grade Of butter cannot be mad
} from the small hand separator a
home it certainly cannot in the larg
! ones in the creameries. In regar
to the beef cattle question he sal
that he had never been an extensiv
feeder. Dairy breeds do not brin
the best beef prices.
John McElmeel favored the dair,
basing his remarks on the fact tha
Iowa owes most to the COW and hog
not to the steer. All farmers d
not raise enough feed for the steel
He advises farmers to stay by tn
COW, sell the calf and help the hog
/ The session then adjourned unit;
Friday forenoon.
