butterfat would be paid to the pa
irons. 1t must therefore be remem-
bered that it is possible for the pa
irons to control the price paid for
butterfat to a considerable extent.
With the proper care and by deliver
ing the cream two or three times a
week, the patrons would be quite
able to deliver this grade of cream.
A vat of cold water, or a cool, we'll
ventilated cellar at home for the
cream can, and a damp cloth around
the can when it is being delivered In
summer, will be found to be Of great
assistance by the farmer who is try.
ing to produce first grade cream.
Occasionally patron will tell the
manager that he is not getting paid
for all there is in his cream since he
is able to make much more butter
from a certain amount of cream than
he receives in butterfat at the cream
cry. Of course. it is possible to have
a slight increase of butter over but
terfat, since a certain amount of
moisture, casein and salt will be in
corporated in the finished butter in
addition to the buttertat However,
sometimes this stated difference
amounts to great deal and is almost
unaccountable, but after inquiring
closely into the cause, it is often
found that cream made into butter
at the farm was poured off the top of
the cream in the can and the remain
der was taken to the creamery. The
cream richer in butterfat was made
into butter at home and the thinner
cream delivered to the creamery.
Thus great difference may often
times be accounted for in this way.
If at any time the parton thinks
there is something wrong with his
cream test or weights, or if something
occurs which he is not able to under
stand, he should go to the manager
or buttermaker for an explanation.
Either is generally we'll informed on
these matters and should be willing
to take the time to look into and ex-
plain the difficulty il possible. Re-
member that there is generally solu-
ton to every problem and most OF
these matters relative to dairying are
explainabIe. 1t is also we'll to bear
in mind that there are no secrets in
the dairy or creamery business and
any creamery manager or buttermaker
who is not square with the patron
should be exposed and relieved from
further services to that creamery.

DANGER Turks At

DRIVERS WHO DISREGARD FLAG
MANS SIGNAL WILL GET IN
, TROUBLE,

The mayor has issued orders that
drivers of vehicles of every descrip-
ton must be looked after in the fu-
ture while making the crossing at the
union derot. Some time ago the rail-
way company installed flagmen at
this point, who are constantly on duty
and are doing their best to safeguard
the public. These men have a hard
position to fill and the public should
assist them in every way by paying
attention to their signals.
Complaint has reached the mayors
office that some drivers have disre-
garded the flagmen's warnings lately
with the result that there have been
several narrow escapes from INJURY
and death. and the police have been
notified to watch out for all such
and bring them into the city court
where the limit of fine will be I'M
posed.
The flagmen are also clothed with
police power and complaint from
them will be all that is necessary 10
