The Cream,

A loss Of 50, 700 on sweet skin
milk was sustained by the pat.
; rons of one cooperative Wiscon.
sin creamery last year on account
OF the average per cent of fat in
the cream being less than 80.
This loss was calculated by get
ting the difference between the
actual weight of the cream re-
ceived and what it would have
weighed had it tested 80 per cent.
The value of the skim milk was
placed at Is cents per 100 pounds.
This condition is more or less
general; probably rs per cent of
the patrons deliver cream testing
less than Is per cent fat. The
creamery patrons seem to believe
that it is more difficult to test
rich cream correctly, and that
some cream is lost by sticking to
the can. AS a matter of fact,
butter makers always rinse the
cream cans, where, if a .hauler
collects the cream, the patrons
can avoid loss by rinsing the cans
himself. There is no difficulty
in determining accurately the
test of rich cream.
Every creamery operator should
make an effort to have his pat
rons skim a richer cream.
several accomplished this by
paying cent or two less per
pound of butter fat for cream
testing below Is per cent. Should
all the factories pay according to
the test and grade of cream de-
livered the farmers of the state
would be more likely to deliver
cream that tested at least 80 per
cent. Not only would each far
mer then save from $25 to $40
yearly in skim milk, but the
butter maker would be able to
turn out a much better product,
as thin cream is difficult to handle
properly in the creamery. This
cream is thus seen to be objec-
tionable from both the farmers
and the creameries' standpoint. -

the state at five to six per cent.
10 initiate a measure requires
eight per cent of the vote cast
at the last election for governor
and the signatures must be scat
tered over at least two-fifths of
the counties. At the last elec-
tion the vote for governor was
about $4,000. The number of
of signers required will be about
$500, taken from at least Is
counties.
The farm loan measure is the
bill introduced in the last legis-
lature b@epresentative Brewer
OF Roman, and which he sue
ceeded in having passed by that
branch. 1t was killed in the
senate, along with several other
measures of interest to the peo-
and which were opposed by the
reactionary forces in control of
that body. 1t is not expected
that it will be a difficult matter
to secure the necessary sigma
lures to the initiatory petitions
and that the voters will have a
chance to express themselves
on the two measures.

POWER LEAGUE TO INITIATE
BR0WER FARM LOAN BILL

The executive board of the
Peoples Power League, assisted
by the officers of the Montana
Federation of Labor and other
labor leaders will start active
operation for the presentation of
two important measures that
they hope to have initiated at
the next general election.
The first measure is compen-
sation act on the lines of the
Murphy bill, which is known as
house bill No. at the last legis-
lative session.
Several changes were made in
the Murphy bill. Most import
ant of the changes is that each
industry will bear the cost of its
own accidents. Another change
is to create the fund of mainten-
ance from the industries as an
initiated measure is not allowed
to seek a state appropriation.
The age limit for the depend
ent daughters was also raised
from 16 to 18 years.
Besides the compensation act,
the Power league also prepared a
bill for initiation providing for
the loan of state money to home
steaders and farmers. This
measure, which is law in Idaho,
South Dakota and some other
states, provides that first mort
gage loans may be made by the
state with money lying in the
permanent state funds.
The permanent funds of the
state have more than $4,000, 600
which is lying practically DOR
mant. In this measure it is peo-
vided to borrow the money from

IL. Cool the cream as rapid,
as possible, by stirring either
with the can, in the cold air OF
in cold, fresh water.
13. Never put two patches
OF cream together until each
is thoroughly cooled.
IA. Never put tight lids or
cream cans while cream is warm.
Is. When the can lids are off,
always cover the can with cheese
cloth or some light, clean cloth.
l6. Never let your delivery

cream from the separator.
II. Be particular to deliver
your cream as often as possible.
The success of the hand separ-
ator system depends almost en-
tlrely on the patrons, and the
care and attention he gives his
product. The use of a hand
separator has shifted to a great
degree the responsibility of max
ing good butter from the cream
eryman to the patron. No but
ter maker can make good butter

HOW TO OPERATE AND CARE
FOR CREAM SEpARATORS

How cream separators should
be operated and taken care of is
provided for in the regulations
governing dairying in Montana
which are being mailed out by
State Dairy Commissioner Ar
thur Shoales. The manner in
which cream should be handled
is also dealt with. The rules are
as follows:
l. See that the separator
stands perfectly level and firm;
place it on a good cement foun-
dation if possible to do so.
2. When not in use, keep it
we'll covered so as to prevent
dust and sand from getting into
the bearings, and be sure that
the bearings are all getting the
proper amount of oil.
3. Clean all the wearing parts
thoroughly at least once each
month.
A. In separating maintain an
even, regular speed. Turn the
crank at the indicated number
of revolutions.
5. Have the cream screw set
so as to throw a cream of from
30 to IS per cent butter fat.
6. When the milk has all been
separated flush the bowl by pour
ing into same about one quart of
water.
z. Wash the skimming parts
thoroughly each time it is used.
Never under any circumstances
let it stand from one time until
another and use it again without
washing.
8. Never put the separator
bowl together until wanted for
separating.
II. Always have a clean,
sweet receptacle to catch and

Will Hold a Special Meeting

1t has been decided to hold a
special meeting of the Good
Cheer club next Monday at the
residence of the president, Mrs.
A. M. Sterling. This meeting
is called by reason of the fact
that two or three postponments
have been had and the members
are getting behind on whist pro-
ceedure and current business of
the club members. This next
meeting is looked forward to
with great expectations as the
luncheon to be served is to be a
five course affair not including
the coffee or pickles.
The last meeting was held
with Mrs. Brandjord and Mrs.
E. H. Rathbone entertaining at
the residence of the latter and a
very enjoyable time was had.

NOTHING NEW
ON RAILROAD

There are no new developments
in railroad news. The surveyors
are still at work and have run
their lines as far north as this
side OF Grow creek, east of the
stone quarry near the west cross
ing of the creek, about four miles
southwest of Roman. Should this
survey continue in the general
direction now being run it would
bring the road about so rods west
of the present business portion
OF the town. Close enough for
all purposes.
A portion of the force of sur
veyors were on the big flat this
week, south of the Nine-Pipe
reservoir, evidently making an
effort to go to the east of the
reservoir and on north to Roman
by that route. Should this be
finally determined as the best
and most practical route it would
bring the road into Roman on the
east side, thus skirting the tim
ber which seems the most feas-
ible and which would ultimately
prove the most profitable.
1t is rumored the engineer is
back tracking on the lines al
reasy run, checking up and esti-
mating as the work progresses.

POISON, IS;
ROMAN,

Playing in a drizzling rain, tn,
game last Sunday was anything
but interesting, as neither sid,
was sure of anything at an,
stage of the game. The ground.
were wet, the ball wet and from
the way the Poison fans hollerec
some OF them surely were moi
dry.
The locals were handicapped
as the Sunday before by not
having all played together be.
fore, several new men being
among those playing with Roman.
AS it was, Poison out-played us
and won thereby. Those Poison
guys play a pretty strong game
and if we expect to win, it
will have to be by practicing to-
gether and playing hard, fast,
consistent base ball.
Delaney and Madsen, new
men, give promise of adding
strength to the team and had
Earl and Tom Wagner been here
Sunday there might have been
a different story to tell. Earl
Wagner was kept at home by
the rain and his services were
missed. Covell pitched again
for the first six innings and then
Phil Hull went in and the way
he retired them was a familiar
sight. Only one man reached
first in the three innings and
that by a base on balls. Phil
pitched in better form than for
two years.
The next game will be with
Big Arm on the home grounds
next Sunday, at which time it is
expected a better showing than
in the last two games will be
made.
Manager White introduced an
innovation last Sunday which
will meet with the hearty ap-
proval of all spectators in the
grandstand, and that was in
compelling the crowd to keep
back from the side lines so that
others could see a little of the
game. For a few fans to crowd
right up to the base lines is not
fair to the spectators who go to
see the game nor to the players
in whose way they continually
are. 1t is to be hoped that here
after this rule will be rigidly en-
forced.

LARGEST MEETING EVER
HELD ON RESERVATION

would be of value to both settlers
and allottees to have many o1
these suggestions made applic.
able is an indisputable fact, but
those who have been engaged in
attempts to remedy the many
grievances in the past are not as
hopeful as those who for the
first time are concerned in the
work.
Chairman Harbert gave notice
that Poison would shortly ex-
tend an invitation for the clubs
to meet in the lake town, and
guaranteed everybody a boat
ride, plenty to eat, lake water to
drink and a glad welcome from
the citizens of that town.
This is the second of the get
together meetings held by the
commercial organizations on the
reservation, the first having
been held over a year ago at St.
1gnatius, and while the first was
a big meeting, this last was still
larger and it is expected each
will grow as they are held in the
future. The St. ,Ignatius meet
ing accomplished much good,
and if the Roman meeting does as
we'll, more will be held and more
frequently.

The Missoulian drew the deadly
parallel on the Pioneer and Pol
son News stories regarding the
railroad survey now in progress
on the reservation. 1t is admit
ted that there is quite discrep-
ancy in the two stories but that
is to be expected, considering the
source of the information. The
Pioneer got it's information d.
rect from the engineer in charge,
while the Poison gentlemen who
attended the big meeting here
last Friday frankly confessed
they got theirs from the camp
cook.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1913-05-23

St. lgnatius is preparing to
have a system of water works,
at least an effort is to be made
to secure the right to install the
same. The Pioneer hopes they
will not encounter the same OBJ
lection that Roman has had in
the past, and that their applica-
tion for permission to use the
waters Of the stream will be
speedily granted.
If a tax on a lot of useless ours
will increase the revenue of the
town, it is hoped the town coun-
Gil will get busy and collect the
same.
