While cholera is undermining the

Butter Scoring 81 Points Made
With Help of College.

Butter, scoring 81 points, made from
farm SKINNED cream was sent to the
monthly scoring exhibition of the Col
lege of Agriculture Of the University of
Wisconsin as the twenty ninth exhibit
of a man whose first exhibit, in 1909,
made from whole milk, was $3.50. His
average score on the three exhibits sent
during that exhibition year was 90,
Next year he sent ten exhibits aver
aging 92.79. The third year, his ten
exhibits averaged 94.S3 with 90 per
cent of the entries scoring 95 or higher.
This last year the average on his nine
exhibits was 94.07, slight reduction
due to the poor quality of farm skim
med cream.
This shows what man can do with
the aid of the College. IL he tries. The
improvement in quality means reader
sale at higher price, better butter for
the consumer, more satisfaction to the
workman, and profits for the farmers
who sell their milk there.
