Grading Cream

as a result better butter is made and
also better price is obtained by the
man who milks the COWS.
What method to use in grading has
been hard to decide upon. 1t was
first thought, and in some cases pTac-
ticed, that the test for sourness
should be the basis. But that was
not satisfactory for the reason that
cream was oftentimes entirely sweet,
yet had very undesirable odor and
taste which would be noticeable in the
butter. On the other hand, cream
which was very sour often had very
pleasant odor and taste, and the best
butter could be made therefrom.
The flavor as determined by the
buttermaker or cream receiver seems
to be the fairest basis on which to
grade cream. If cream is sour but OF
good flavor, first grade should be
given. If it is off flavor a cut should
be made, even though the cream is
perfectly sweet.
1t is generally known that bad
f1avors in cream or butter come from
improper methods in handling, so,
by paying for the extra cost in taking
good care of the cream it will not
only make better butter, but will also
do much toward building up the dairy
industry in our state.

There is much agitation at present
on the grading of cream at creameries
in most of the central and western
states. This grading is certainly a
step in the right direction, for it
means that not only will the butter
maker be able to make better pro-
duct, but the farmer will get NOR g
for his work in keeping the cream in
good condition.
With the present method of receiv-
ing cream at creameries, there is but
very little if any discrimination in
the quality. II one farmer is not
careful in the handling of his cream,
and sends in poor grade, he gets as
much for it as his neighbor who takes
the pains to deliver a No l article.
This is not right; and the only way
to give the careful man compensation
for his extra efforts is to use system
of grading and pay according to quail
ity.
The difficulty as experienced by
creameries at different places when
grading was first begun, was that all
creameries would not adopt the sys-
TEN, and the dairyman who was
slovenly in his methods would send
to anothe r creamery where he could
get as much for his product as for
better grade. But now, however,
both the farmer and the creamery
man realize that the system of paying
for quality is fair to both parties and

How Dairy Inspection Helps
the Dairymen.
(Dr. w. p. Cutler, Missouri State
Dairy Commissioner.

Dairy mm1SSlOner.
The principal reason why the Agri-
cultural college and all of its depart
ments of agronomy, live stock raising,
dairying and feeding, is of use to the
farmer is that it leads him to new
methods. Bulletins are issued free,
based upon long years of study, to
the end that the farmer may have the
benefit of knowledge that be has not
the time otherwise to acquire. The
best methods in dairying are studied
and published, as we'll as how best to
feed the cow for the economical pro-
duction of milk.
The "short course" is organized
for farmers, and farmer boys are in
duced to go to the college, and for a
nominal sum are taught all the ad-
vanced practical ideas in general farm
ing and dairying. The utility OF this
latter course is so forcibly recognized
that several railroads in this state are
offering scholarships to induce the
BOYS to go and learn the best methods.
AS the state offers these oppor-
tunities. so the state passes laws and
provides for dairy inspection, so that
the man engaged in dairy business
not only is compelled to produce
under the best conditions for the
benefit of the consumer, but also that
he may be informed for his own pc
cuniary profit, how best to handle the
milk. The dairy inspector should be

ment of the Dairy Commissioners
office is concerned, an experienced
man we'll qualified to make sugges-
lions as to what the law requires.
The law itself is a comprehensive one,
and if followed by the dairyman, will
invariably result in better methods
by him and, consequently, greater
profits.
An expensive barn is not necessary,
but clean barn is. To have plenty
of light, ventilation and drainage, II
fairly clean methods of milking are
practiced, is to have clean milk which
necessarily has BETTER keeping quail
ties, this latter doing away with the
necessity of "milk sweet" or other
formaldehyde personalities in the
milk to make it marketable.
The supreme court of the state has
declared formaldehyde to be poison
and upheld the law forbidding it's use.
No man can sell unclean milk unless
he is using formaldehyde. AS for
maldehyde is declared TO be illegal
the man who produces unclean milk
is very soon out of the business.
The dairyman, however, does not
always know the law, neither does he
always know the best way to do things.
Many times the dairy inspector will
call the attention of the dairyman to
improper methods, such as poor drain
age or the presence of cobwebs, the
straining of milk in the cow barn and
it's consequent absorption of odors.
ETC. | have known of cases where
customers complaining OF the milk,
write the commissioner. An Inspector
is sent, and he, giving close attention
to details in the barn of discouraged
dairyman, is enabled to point out the
trouble and so save the business
1t is possible for the inspector at
times to show the producer of butter
fat or whole milk where he can find
the best market. Again if a man
wants better animal to head his
herd, the inspector may advise where
the best bull may be had at the dairy
mans price. Ii the man who milks
does not know how to test his cows

Mold Destroys Insulation.

1t may be of value to inexperienced
electricians to know that nothing de-
stroys rubber insulation of wires so
quickly as common mold. Moisture
has little effect and wires have been
known to keep their covering intact
for many weeks lying in a bed OF
moist iron rust, but failed In a min.
ute or so when brought into contact
with mold. A house that is painted
before the walls are entirely dry is
likely to abound in mold, and the only
temporary preventive of immediate
deterioration is carbolic acid, and
even this does not serve to save the
insulation unless constantly applied.
