creameries In this and other states
seeking such information. While
this bulletin may be somewhat out
Of date, the number OF Inquiries
still received for 1t seems TO prove
that the Information contained there
In Is Of considerable value to cream :
with the large losses sustained
by the creameries on account or the
waste of exhause steam, II was
deemed advisable to install an ex-
hRust steam water heater at the
State Creamery! Bulletin No. b4 was
issued entitled Utilization OF Ex-
hause Steam In Cresmeries', giving
the creameries of the State the in
formation gained and urging them
to install exhaust water heaters. In
CO. operation with the Dairy Diyi-
sion, Washington, d. c. through the
efforts Of their Dairy Manufacturing
Specialist, Mr.. o. A. Storvick. who
devoted considerable time urging
the installation OF these heaters,
large numbers Of Minnesota cream
cries have already installed these
heaters, which have reduced their
fuel bill from 10 to 20 per cent,
making a saving of thousands Of
dollars to these creamertes annually.
In view of the information secured
in watching the operation or heaters
in use;> II wGs deemed necessary 70
make several minor changes In the
system, and, for that reason, . re-
vised edition OF this Bulletin was is
sued In 1919.
"'Creamery Refrigeration is Q
subject OF great importance to the
creameries of the state. Bulletin
No. 50 Is supplying this much need :
ed information. It discusses the df I.
ferent systems Of refrigeration and
shows plans of each.
"A bulletin on organization of
Co operative Creamertes and Cheese
Factories has been issued in 1913
and published by the Extension d.
vision Of the University. This bull
letin has been of great help 70 com.
munities where new creameries and
cheese factories are organised, In
showing the proper method or or
ganization and procedure.
Bulletin No. SO on 'Pasteuriza-
ton of Cream for ButtermakinG has
been issued in response to demand
for practical and dependable In
formation on this vital subject. The
call for this bulletin, from butter
makers not only IN Minnesota but in
other states, proves the value OF
such Information.
Thousands Lost Annually.

Of this nature was available on this
important phase of creamery opera

Gin past years, thousands Of dol
lars have been lost annually through
mold In butter by the creameries OF
Minnesota. Realizing the need for
such information, Bulletin No. 6S,
on Mold in Butter was issued IN
1918. This bulletin seems TO have
met, the need for which II was is-
sued. and has enjoyed Q wide circu-
lation, In fact, q second edition was
necessary in order to meet the de-
mand for this publication.
The information contained In
Bulletin No. 76, on Testing Butter
for Moisture and Salt was very
much needed by buttermakers Of
the state. Before issuing this bull
letin, an extensive series Of expert
menfs was conducted at the state
creamery to ascertain correct meth.
DDS In determination Of moisture
and salt content. This. bulletin has
proven Of considerable assistance to
many creamery operators in secur-
ing better results along this line.
1.-THE rapidly increasing demand
for better methods Of creamery ac-
counting made II advisable TO issue
a bulletin on this subject, which was
pubiished in 1919. This bulletin,
like the others issued by the state
creamery has proved it's usefulness
to the CO. operative creamerfes of
the state, In pointing the way to
better and more uniform methods
Of accounting. The numerous re-
guests for copies Of this bulletin
shows that there is q real need for
such information.
Series Of Experiments
"At-the present time, a series OF
the state creamery to compare the
keeping quality OF butter, made un-
der different methods of handling.
During one week IN each month.
cream received on each Of three
days Of that week is divided after
pasteurization one-half being cooled
TO churning temperature immediate
ly and churned perfectly sweet the
following day, while the other half
is ipened with alstarter and churn-
ed the following day. Three samples
are taken Of each schurniug one Of
which is scored In ten days after
churning. The second sample Is
scored after being held In cold Etor-
age for so days and the third held
In cold storage for six months be-
fore scoring. The hrSt churning of
this series was made In January Of
this year and the .churnings will
be completed In December. Upon
completion Of this work q bulletin
WILL be issued giving data secured
from the experiment. Work Of this
kind should prove Of much value 20
the dairy Industry. The State
Creamery, operated IS 1t is, under
direct State supervision, but work
ing under practical conditions, Is en-
abied 10 carry on such experiments,
where other institutions not SINH
larily situated would not be In po-
sitiou TO do so."
Frseborn County crsamsries,
There are twenty six creameries
in Freeborn county. The output OF
these factories In 1922 was approx
mately 100000 pounds Of butter;
amounting to $4,000, 900. From these
figures one can gain some idea of
the large sum Of money that was
paid to the patrons of the cream :
cries.
Under the direction of County
Agent e. T. Cort, q campaign has
been started to eliminate tuhercu-
losis cattle from the herds In Free
born county. A petition Is being
signed by farmers asking for fed
