AN IMPORTANT
FARMERS MEETING
CONTINUED from page i

/ AAOAAl p0SO
for fat last year was SO cents per
pound. Most creameries paid 30c.
Certain creameries throughout
the state are recognized as
manufacturing a superior quality of
butter, which results in the patrons
receiv ng from 2 to a cents more
per pound. Professor Lee stated
that it was not dueto the butter max
er so much as to the kind Of cream
delivered at the creameries. The
patrons determine to large degree
the price they are to receive for
their butter fat. When farmers see
to it that only cream of good quail
ty is sent to the creamery, then their
prices will be increased This means
cooperation among the farmers,
and in this as we'll as in other lines
Of agriculture, the farmers will ben
eft greatly by united effort. The
better prices paid for butter of
good quality means that the farmers
will realize from SIS to $40 more per
cow if they unite and deliver only
good grade of cream.
Cream of good quality is not diff
cult to secure. Prof. Lee illustrated
how various factors Influenced the
product. The cream separator was
given considerable attention. Sep
arotors should be washed twice each
day, and the speaker showed that if
washed Immediately after using.
very little time was needed to clean
it. The first cream from the sepa-
rator, after having stood overnight,
with cream in the bowl, has an odor
and taste that can very easily faint
the butter. Separation of milk
should not be done in the kitchen on
account OF odors that are absorbed.
Very frequently cream delivered at
the creamery carries an odor that is
difficult to get rid Of in making the
butter. The separator should be in
a milk house where the possibilities
for contamination are small.
In order that the cream be clean
and sweet COWS should be kept in
barns that are we'll ventilated and
lighted, and where the stables are OF
the right length so that the dropp-
ings fall into the gutter. Other
wise the cows become dirty and it is
almost impossible to produce good
quality Of butterfat.
The best method Of cooling is by
water rather than air.
Another point that is not given
the consideration thatits Importance
demands is the test of cream sent to
the creamery. Cream testing 80 per
cent is desired by buttermakers.
Sending in cream that tests low
means a loss to the creamery as we'll
as to the farmer. The cost of oper-
alton is greater, due to the labor
and fuel necessary to handle this
surplus buttermilk. One hundred
pounds of skim milk has the value
as feed of half bushel of corn. If
cream tests 20 per cent the farmer
is sending from his farm yearly the
equal in value from each COW of q
bu. of corn.
The local creamery was commed-
ed upon it's fine building and equip
ment and efficient management.
At the meeting Tuesday the
Board of Directors Of the River
Falls Cooperative Creamery Co.
passed resolution that on and af
ter April /, 1916, all cream testing
less than Is per cent will bring 2
cents less per pound than the gen.
eral price paid in that month.

ialties. We meet travelling men who
sell just one article. We find stores
carrying only one line Of goods, we
have the eye, ear and nthe nose spec
ialist, and we sometime conclude that
farming should be done along the
same line; but is the logic good? Can
a farmer make more money and keep
up the fertility OF his soil who does
just one thing? Suppose he is live
stock farmer, will he do better TO
keep sheep exclusively or would he
better keep few Of all kinds OF live
stock? II his farm is rich one and
he keeps enough sheep TO consume all
the farm produces he will crowd the
sheep too much and they will become
diseased. Again, II he keeps nothing
but sheep there Will come years when
they will make but little or no money
and during such years cattle or hogs
will be high.
Another line.
The best advice the writer ever 70
ceived was just when he was starting
| out in life. when dollar looked as big
as wagon wheel. The advice was
given by n farmer who had been very
successful. Said he, you are Just
starting and let me tell you how to
succeed rs a farmer. Always keep
one or more good brood sows, a few
good COWS. some good ewes. and let
your teams consist OF good brood
mares and success is sure to crown
your efforts" So far as the writer
followed this advice he did succeed.
Take another line Of farming: Sup
pose farmer in the East becomes a
hay farmer. he will soon deplete his
farm of its fertility Suppose he be-
comes grain farmer. the same results
will follow. Now this may be day Of
specialties but IT will not apply to
farming, except in certain cases. A
farmer owning few acres OF ground
near good market may make spec
ialty Of small fruit or truck or may
keep dairy but such condition will
not apply TO farming generally.
The average farmer must learn to
do several things and do them as well
as anyone else II he would make a
bowling success.
