A few days since, we called at the
farm Of III. IL. Bedding, which is under
the supervision of S. Case. On this
farm is found fine lot of Jersey
cattle. We were shown a can OF milk
that, within few hours after being
put into the Cooley Creamer indicated
one-third OF its bulk to be cream Mr.
Case ships the butter direct to Chica-
go, where he receives the regular price
Of 20 cents pound for il.
Since writing the above story we
find that ii is thought to be little
thick. Mr.. Case thinks the one-third
should be reduced one-fourth. We
made our statement without actual
measurement, but were sure we never
saw so much cream from an equal
supply of milk.
