DAIRY eUMPTIoN.
4 viii Help = Man Over the Hard
Places.

"GumptiOn" is an Of Fashioned
Yankee word and signifies the ability
to shape ones own fortur,e, work up
sut of difficulties, overcome discour-
agements, etc. Last week our New
York correspondent, H. Fl. Lyon, spoke
Of the almost helpless state the milk
farmers OF that state find themselves
tn before the double twist" the milk
dealers in New York city have put on
them. Why cannot the farmers at
every milk-shipping station cooperate
with each other to put up creamery
and handle their milk that way? asks
the Hoard's Dairyman We sometimes
think that the milk-shipping business
has the worst effect on the enterprise
and ability of the farmer of anything
that could happen to him. Certain it
is that 1t makes very much less of
farmer of him.
He does not raise young cattle and
hogs like the creamery farmer. He
loses all ambition to be what he should
be, a wise breeder and developer of
dairy cattle. He drifts down to the
final landing place at the foot of the
ladder, buying his cows and crowding
costly feed into them for year and
then selling them for beef
There seems to be nothing about the
business as at present organized and
conducted that will tend to the making
Of larger-minded and better farmer
of him. And then, as If to cap the
climax, he is at the mercy of lot of
milk dealers who know enough to
combine against him, if he doesn't
against them, and he helplessly ac-
cepts the situation. His farm suffers
from the constant drain of milk ship
ping to the extent of at least five to
seven dollars per COW of valuable fer
tiliztng material in the mill, most of
which would be saved to the soil if
consumed on the farm.
or course we know that milk must
be produced for city use but it does
seem as II the milk farmers as class
were lacking in the ordinary "gump-
ton OF mankind to submit as they
do to imposition, and make no COM
tined effort to help themselves

POINTS CONCERNING

Practical Suggestions Which
and Cheese Makers BY L. D.. Bushnell. Michigan.

A growth of heterogeneous in a
suitable food substance as milk, whey,
or beef tea, is called a culture. If
only one species Of micro-organism be
present the growth is called a mixed
culture; but If two or more be pres
ent the growth is called a mixed cul-
ture. For us to be thoroughly familiar
with starter we must understand a
culture, because a starter as used In
dairy operations is generally a cul-
ture containing one species of micro
organisms. In some few instances
where two or more micro organisms
are found that harmonic in their
modes OF growth, a mixed culture is
used, thereby perhaps bringing about
better results than when developed

Effect Of Freezing on Butter


A series Of trials were made at the
Vermont experiment station wherein
milk was divided into two lots, one
half allowed to freeze and the other
handled in the usual manner; then
churned, the butter worked and
cored. Neither Swimming, ripening
nor churning appeared to be impaired
Not so, however, with the scoring. The
average scores OF two sets of Is lots
each were: Frozen butter, 93.2: nor
NAL butter, 1876. Freezing tended
very slightly to lower the grade of the
butter, yet freezing is not necessarily
menace to good butteT~making. 1t
should not be inferred, however, that
infrequent creamery receipts. deliv-
cred more or less frost bitten. will
make as good butter az If they had
been delivered unfrozen.
