town seven times a week with milk need
come only twice now with cream This is
a very large saving in time and the labor
Of assembling. The hand separator has
thus revolutionized the business and has
made dalrylng possible in communities
where the farmers are widely scattered.
And 1t has made skinned milk worth 80
cents a hundred pounds for feeding calves
and pigs where IL was formerly worth not
more than 10 cents at the creamery.
Creameries Work Together.
The creamery companies work together
to a certain extent in dividing territory,
regulating the trade. fixing prices and
other details Of the business TO promote
economy and prevent confusion, although
there is no trust or common interest. Each
dairy company OWNS its own cans. which
can be identified by the color of the tops,
some of which are painted green, others
yellow, red, blue, black, so that hey can
be Identified at a distance. Every train
coming into Omaha carries a carload Of
them. A car holds 300 or more cans, and
the wagons of the creameries are always
awaiting their arrival. The cans are sent
back to the stations by the return trains
and the farmers pick up the empties when
they bring in their cream.
This system is beginning TO revoluttOntze
farming in Nebraska, where a lack of labor
has been the great drawback in the Guilt
walton OF the soil. Cows can be pastured
upon a small range near home, an average
Of ten acres per head, and kept over win
ter on alfalfa, which grows luXuTiantly
even in the dry belt, and calves and hogs
can be fattened as a by-product. There
are now three times as many farmers ship
ping cream as there were in 1900, and the
output Of the creameries is more than
three times as great.
In 1900 the total amount OF butter pro-
duced in Nebraska was 10000 pounds,
and. as l have already told you, the total
for 1905 was 5000, 600 pounds, while the
price of butter has increased nearly 10
cents a pound during that period.
The farmer receives "a cents a pound for
his butter fat because of the "centralizer,"
where he used TO realize only s or 10 cents
a pound under the old method. \ good COW,
which cost him about SIS, win yield 45OO
pounds Of milk, or 16G pounds 90 ru.ter fat,
which is worth $50 per year. O., 'lmmed
milk will be worth an o.. r g. the
manure S3-a total OF So pr cow,
ana the calf I'm addition. .... 70 Is kept
for raising or sold for Ea. Hur average
cost Of keeping a COW is SCI a wear, which,
calling the calf worth 81, makes the net
return SIS for each COW.
The state board Of agriculture estimates
that a weli-bred COW ought TO produce
from so 10 so profit per year, and in the
bulletins OF instruction, IL impresses upon
the farmers the advantage Of getting the

cream. In 1908 their output was 100000
pounds, valued at 81 ,430.OOo, while in 1907
It was 100000 pounds.
The largest creamery the state has gets
Its cream from 40 different stations, from
22,OOO different farms-9,00 in Nebraska
and the rest in Iowa, Missouri, South Da-
kota and Kansas. Some OF the cream is
shipped 700 miles. The farmers who furnish
this supply rave an average OF only eight
cows each, but are increasing them every
year because they find the butter business
much more profitable than any other kind
OF farming.
'This is naturally a corn and hog coun-
try" said Mr.. Rushton, the manager OF
one of the creameries, and, until recently,
has been almost entirely given up to cat
tie. The dairy industry is in it's infancy,
but Is increasing with the strides OF a
giant because the farmers are learning
that they can keep a bunch Of cows and
hogs without practically any increase OF
labor and a larger Increase in income
shipped All over Country.
Nebraska butter is shipped all over the
United States. but very little is exported to
foreign countries. For the export trade but
ter has TO be put up with special care and
there are creameries In Iowa which make a
speciality of 1t. There Is an establishment
at Monticello. in hat state, which does
nothing but put butter up In tin cans for
sale in the tropics. 1t completes success
fully with the Danish butter, which had a
monopoly OF the tropical trade until the
Monticello people entered the field. The
Danish butter is manufactured with such
care that It will keep longer than any
other and preserve its sweetness in any
climate. The contents OF a tin will melt
and hs den again and again several times
Without injury. But II requires a great
deal OF care and labor to make butter for
the tropics, and most Of the American man
ufacturers think il does not pay.
! The dairy business in Nebraska lie con
Omaha daily bee., 1909-07-31

Quoted quite differently from that in other
states. Formally the farmers wife skinned
and churned her milk by hand at home and
traded II at the country store for sugar,
coffee, tea or dry goods at the rate of II
or Is cents q pound. Next came the neigh
borhood dairy, where the milk was hauled
every morning and every night, set" In
large pans, skinned by hand and churned
by machinery, while the SKINNED milk was
fed to a penful Of hogs or calves in the
back yard. These neighborhood creameries
were usually cooperative, and each con-
tributor received credit on the books for
the amount OF milk ne delivered daily. They
ave been very much improved by the in
vention OF the separator" which, by the
turning of a crank, will extract the butter
fat from the milk in a very few minutes.
In Illinois, Wisconsin and in the older states
farmers usually bring in their milk by
wagon twice a day, pass It through the
separator, receive credit for the butter fat
and haul the skinned milk in the same
cans back TO the farm to feed their calves
and hogs. There is a settlement every
month for the cream delivered.
Farmers Do own Separating.
In Nebraska the distances are so much
longer and the settlements so much farther
apart that a different system has been
adopted and Centralized butter making is
the rule. The "centralizers," as they call
the big cTeameries l have mentioned, re
celve cream by rail on every train. II being
picked up from station to station and car
ried in a baggage car. The farmers have
their own separators and extract the but
ter fat Immediately after milking. The
skimmed milk is fed to the calves and hogs
and the cream is put in ten-gallon cans
and hauled to the nearest railway station,
where the agents Of the eamer are walt
ing to value the cream by the Babcock
testify the application OF s%ulphuric acid
to a small sample, which iberates the oil
from the casein or curd and enables the
Inspector to estimate the proportion Of but
ter fat in the cream,
The total delivery is then weighed and
the farmer receives either cash or a ticket,
which is as good as cash at any of the
stores or banks. Thus he practically does
a cash business, and usually gets his
money for his cream within three hours
after every milking. No producer In any
other occupation receives his returns 90
promptly.
Those who are situated at a long distance
from a railway station do not deliver more
than twice a week, for butter fat will keep
three or four days without deteriorating
after Il has been separated from the milk.
That Is the. great advantage OF the system.

OPTIMISM, LIES
KEY, SAYS TAFT
Asserts Criticism and Pessi=
mism Productive of Paralysis
and Stagnation

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-President
elect Taft's views on optimism are ex-
pressed in letter written by him TO
Rev. Thomas r. Slicer. who is promi-
nent in the optimist club of America.
The letter from the president elect,
made public today. follows:
Cincinnati. Ohio, Feb. IS, 1909
Ny Dear Mr.. Slicer: I have your
letter of February IL and am glad to
express my sympathy with the attitude
of the Optimist club and the Optimist
publishing company toward the present
conditions.
The man who does not cope for better
things and does not believe that better
things can be brought about is not the
man likely to bring better things about.
The uncompromising attitude which
ter than none" the insistence upon the
full realization of the highest ideals
and the rejection of any compromises
which accomplish good, are all likely
TO retard progress. Consta criticism
and constant pessimism are productive
of paralysis and stagnation.
No one who wishes to do anything
and bring about real reforms should
allow himself to read from day to day
editorials and other printed articles,
the tone of which is pessiMistic and
hypocritical, for nothing will take out
of him the enthusiasm necessary to
successful effort as the reading of such
matter. Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM II. TAFT.

following terms:

OUTLINES PLAN TO
RFORGANIzE NAVY
New Departmental System Pros
posed by Commission Meets
Presidents Approval
Scheme, for Redistribution of BIZ
reaus Into Five Divisions
Goes to Congress

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-President
Roosevelt's commission on naval reor>>
ganization, whose final report went to
congress today, outlines a new depart
mental system which the president de-
clares is sound and conservative and
in full accord with American policy.
1t contempIates for the secretary a
general council, a military council. and
the redistribution of the duties of the
present bureaus in five divisions, the
chiefs of which are to compose the
grand council who are to be the as
sistant secretary. three flag officers
and another flag officer, naval con-
structor or civilian with technical
training.
In submitting the plan the president
says: Nothing drastic is recommended
as to the bureau or other agencies by
means of which the purely business af-
fairs of the navy department are now
administered. The plan outlined does
not imply any greater expenditure of
money than at present, 1t provides
merely that the money should be spent
wisely instead of as at present, spend
ing it SO that certain proportion is
wasted in useless work.
To supplement and finish the work
of this commission, the president says.
another commission must eventually be
designated to take up the proposed
plan and complete it as to details; but
no plan can be satisfactory If there is
deviation from the essential military
principles specified in this report.
The bureau system in its entirety has
been retained, but with additional per-
sonnel. The commissions scheme is
merely an illustration of principles,
and not a digested plan.
1t contemplates that the assistant
secretary shall be a civilian, a man
Of affairs" who shall he the chief Of
ffcer of the first division aud shall
have charge of the business of the
bureau of yards and docks, the bureau
of supplies and the bureau of medi-
cine and surgery, the employment of
civilians and kindred subjects.
