DAIRY. UTENSILS.


Made ~ Home.
Visiting ut farmhouse not lon, ago.
l was invited to inspect the dairy
room. which was pleased to do, says
q writer in Hoard's Dairymun. 1t WAS
very clean and neat anl spoke o. i'll
telligent care. yet could Eut note that
there were number OF inexpensive
utensils for assisting in the work which
might have been added to those al
ready at hand. There We're the churn.
the butter bowl and ladle, the cream
scrock and the tank for holding the cans
Of milk. The butter was worked with
long handled spoon.
A Cream Stirrer.
An effective cream stirrer is easily
Inade. Go to the tinsmith and have
him make a stirrer shaped exactly like
the cover to a steamer, cutting in it
dozen or more holes the size of half
dollar. Have him make handle, tubu-
lar and two inches in diameter. sol
dering it to the apex Of the cone. This
handle should be long enough to reach
to the top Of the cream can when it is
placed inside of it. The upper end
should be closed and have a fiat tin
loop soldered on for convenience in
handling It, The diameter of this stir
rer should be a little less than the
diameter of the cream can so 1t will
work up and down easily.
When fresh cream is added to the
can. take hold of the handle and lift IL,
OH the stirrer. Push it down and lift
again. Do this a few times, and the
cream will be perfectly blended. 1t
beats anything l ever saw for the pur-
pose Of stirring the cream when it is
being warmed for churning in winter,
eQualizing and distributing the tenn
perature evenly throughout. Use il in
summer when cooling cream for churn-
Ing. 1t acts equally as we'll for that
purpose too.
The Big Wooden Fork.
There are times when a wooden fork
10 very conveniently used in the dairy
room. like it better than ladle for
breaking apart Jumps of butter in the
churn or for removing 1t to the worker.
A piece of maple twelve inches long
and six wide and one inch thick will
make a good one. Let the handy man
mark it Off with four tines five inches
long, the sides rounding In nicely to
the handle part at about seven inches
to give plenty Of strength. The remain
Ing Ave inches will make q good firm
handle, which should be a little wider
than it is thick. Smooth this down
nicely with sandpaper, working up be-
tween the tines. which should not set
too closely together. Make hole in the
end of the handle to hang 1t by, and
the job is done.
Butter Packer.
A good, serviceable butter packer is
made like a big potato masher, only
that it is perfectly fiat on the lower
surface, whereas the potato masher is
rounded 1t should he of hard wood.
This packs butter much more rapidly
and effectively than any ladle, and it
will pay any one putting butter up in
crooks or tubs to make one. 1t should
be at least four inches across the face,

Dairy Talk of Today

What are the cows worth that pro
duce 400 pounds Of butter per annum?
Here. l am going to make statement
and undertake to prove it correct.
When the COW that produces 200 pounds
Of butter per annum at food cost Of
$50 and labor cost Of $3.50 is worth
$85, the cow that produces 400 pounds
Of butter annually is worth $4O0 and
the owner can make net $16 more from
her after paying the interest on his
$4OO than he can from the cows that
produce 200 pounds of butter.--H. B.

Grading Cream.
Bulletin No. 1876, on grading cream.
describes a system that has been In
operation at the experiment station Of
the state agricultural college, Manhat-
tan. Kan. Instead OF paying the same
price for bad cream as for good diff
ference is made which rewards the
farmer who handles his cream proper
". This will improve the general quail
ity of the cream delivered and enable
good butter to be made The system
ID one which in principle should be
adopted everywhere.

IN'rEss EaT2NG MEETING.

liOn Snsu' day at Court

About one hundred we're pres.
ent at the meeting of the mem=
oers Of the Grant County Gu Up
erative Creamery Association,
held at the court house last Sat.
urday.
1t was one of those rousilg
good meetings that when it is
over leaves u good impression on
all who were present. Business
was talked over and transacted
music furnished-speeches and
last but not least refreshments
served, all Of which was enjoyed
by all present.
Prof. Wheaton of Brookings
was present and gave them a
talk on the importanceof feeding
and breeding. 1t was full of
good material for thought.
Manager Rygar gave his an
nual talk drawing their attention
to the important points that go
to make it possible for a cream
cry to turn out the very best
butter. If the man who
the milk doesn't do his part in
getting good milk and take the
proper care of the same it was
utterly impossible for the man
at the creamery to turn out but
ter of high quality. Secretary
q. G. MiddlebroOk read his re-
port, which will be published
next week.

NOTES
Messrs. Schneider, Ferguson,

music.
The old officers all hold over
from last year.
One man was heard to remark:
"We have heard the recommen-
datlons of Prof. Wheaton and
Manager Rygar-lets remember
them until after we get home at
least"
Manager Rygar has been COM
PEELED to turn away cream and
milk that has stood too long be.

the best goes.
The total amount of milk re.
ceived during 1906 was 1,846, ,086
pounds and cream 139,873.61

beof interest to the mem bers
and others:
"Ih com pairing this year S bust
ness with that of last, we find q
little falling off in the tota

the volume of business is about
the same. In other words, you
have held your own, which is
gratifying, but you should not be
satisfied with this, and the com

ing your stock, wedding out the
poor and Improbable COWS, and
getting better strain OF butter

/ visited my friend. Mr.. Leete,
while in Wisconsin, who has 9
herd of twenty six Jersey COWS.
He told me the twenty six COWS
would average a little better
than four hundred pounds ol
butter-fat a year to each COW,
and at the average price of but
ter, each COW would bring in az
income of 800. The milk tested
on the average six per cent, and
/ some of his best COWS tested
eight percent. He has a ready
market for his heifer calves al
$50 apiece. Of course Mr.. Leete
is we'll equipped for this bust
ness, having a brick silo thirty
six feet deep and sixteen feet in

the many down there, who are
making money from COWS, some
even doing better than Mr..

Nervous diseases never were so
prevalent. Why?
Because "eye strain, the curse

HAND HARPooN OUT OF DATE.
Weapon for Slaughter Of Whales Now
Fired from Gun.

The Norwegian whale fisheries ex
tend over nearly the whole of the Arc,
tic sea. from the north of Norway to
ward Spitzbergen and even to the
Shetland islands.
The whales are shot from small
steamers. the implement used being
the so-called bomb harpoon, an arrow.
shaped iron spear furnished with a
line, which is discharged from a small
cannon.
The whale often drags the vessel
a long distance until 1t becomes ex.
hausted and expires. 1t is then towed
to the anchorage, where it is stripped
of the blubber
This whale fishery was begun by q
well-known Norwegian, Svend Foyn,
in 1868. While only 30 whales were
killed in the first year, 1880 whales
were taken in 1897, when 513 men
were engaged on rs steamers. At
first only the blubber was utilized for
train oil; now the bones are crushed
for manure and the fish is used for
fodder.
