Care Of nix on The Farm.
BY AMOS j wILpMAN


Every one handling milk knows il is
very hard to keep mik sweet in the sum-
mer. but if the patrons of the Creamery
will follow these instructions they will
find it a great help to them: As soon as
the milking is done if they will put their
cans in cool water and stir occasionally
they will have no trouble keeping milk
in first class condition. In my expeI
fence in handling mi ! have found
cans of milk sweet while the Cream that
has risen to be sour and unfit to make
good butter.
Every one handling milk should know
just what it is. Milk is the liquid secre-
ton of the animals that suckle their
young. 1t is the only food found in ma
ture that maintains life. There are
several parts of milk-fat. sugar. casIn
and proteds. Each one has tendency
to make good butter if properly handled.
/ have had charge of several Creamei
les in Indiana. Kansas, Kentucky and
Oklahoma, and will say here in West
Virginia am getting a better. cleaner
grade of milk than in any OF the other
points. can truthfully say that the
patrons of the Charles Town Creamery
Co. take better care of their milk and
dairy cows than the farmers that are edu-
Gated into the dairy business. You have
the same climate, the soil and grass.
which is far better here in the Valley
than they have. We have better cows.
better water and everything TO make a
first-class success here at Charles Town.
You can get the history of other cream
cries and see for yourselves that we are
getting more milk on such conditions as
we started. since March. and SO young
in the business. We are getting the top
market prices for our butter, and that
enables US to pay you more for your but
ter this summer than you ever got before.
with less work on the farm. Ask our
many pleased patrons what they think
about the creamery. This creamery is
for everybody-not only stockholders.
but new stockholders as well; they will
be treated the same as if they owned the
creamery.
Now the thing for us to do is for every
body to pull together. Get your neigh
bors to send their milk. We now have
fifty-five sending milk and cream-try to
have one hundred by August Ist.
You know the creamery to be owned
and operated by men whom you have
known for many years-men you know
to be honest in every respect, and who
will give you square deal from the time
your milk is received at the factory until
! You have the money for your butter.
I'VE are now receiving about 5000
pounds of milk per day Monday 900
pouuds-making an average of $50 pounds
