HOME CREAMERY SHOULD BE
PATRONIZED.-A
An Industry. That Will Assist in Max
ing Great Dairy Country.

| For some reason number of milk
ers OF dairy cows in Mason Valley have
been sending their cream, to differ
ent concerns in Reno for some time
| past 1t is possible that the FAULT lay
with the Ycrington creamery, and
| again it is possible that it did not.
! However that may be. it seems to us
| that it is poor policy to patronize out
| side concerns. always considering
| THAT you canado nearly, if not quite,
as well at horife In conver sation with
! MIR. Dahl, the new butter maker and
manager of the Yeriiigton creamery,
| this week, VIE were informed that the
| Yerington Creamery Company had
paid for cream in August 80 cents. as
! against Reno concerns paying 81 cents
| for IA days OF august and SO cents
/ for the latter ~ days Of that month
Reno. however. is scndihg'a statement
and check for every can OF cream that
! the concerns receive upon the arrival
Of the cream. while the home company
only makes monthly payments. This
gives the mixer. his money little
quicker. However. there are about
| 80 pounds of cream in a can and it
milker has to stand trree-fourths of
has to be sent by express, and the
the express charges. The charges are
90 cents a can. which makes the dairy
man pay As cents Now there are about
2S pounds Of butter fat in can of
cream. and considering the overrun to
be 10 per cent in the manufacture of
butter it will be seen that the shippers
OF cream from this valley to Reno are
losing about cents per pound on the
product When this can be explained
and shown to mixers here in a scien
tilic way it is more than likely that no
more cream will go to Reno. nor any
other creamery than the one in this
valley
MIR. Dahl comes here recommended
as one OF the most scientific tlairymen
and butter makers or the coast. He
is originally from Denmark. the coun-
try OF great dairies and creameries.
and has had charge of creameries in
many parts of this country and South
America. tIe thinks the conditions
in Mason Valley are ideal for the
building mp of splendid dairy and
butter business here, with. of course.
some changes i'll the present plant and
business dealings.
1t is Mr.. Dahls intention to make a
number OF improvements in the plant,
add a cream ripener. and establish 4
COW testing association so that owners
OF dairy cows may know exactly what
their animals arc doing for them. and
which ones to be weeded out OF the
dairy herd and which to keep for
building up better herds. The tests
OF this association would be made
from cows MIXED at certain time
| on certain day in each month. show
ing the amount of milk given. the
amount of butter fat and whether the
animal gained or lost in production of
milk
1t has been stated that dairymen
cannot afford to feed expensive hay
TO milch cows. but we are informed
that Sl4 hay is often fed by dairymen
i'll California at profit
There is no reason why Mason Val
lev should not be one Of the finest
dairy countries on the Pacific Coast
Our winters are not severe and there
is good pasture for most months OF
the wear. The business is one, how
ever. that cannot be gone at in hap
hazard manner Farmers cannot go
into the business for few months in
the wear when butter sells high, and
90 out of the business when butter
sells low The rearing of good dairy
herd will take some wears. but once
attained it can be kent up to standard
eaSilv and the expense will not be
great
