other hand he holds a leash.
Two dogs for the other end of
the leash were supplied by the as
tronomer Hevelius in 1890, who made
the picture of the two hunting dogs
out of a small group of stars near
Bootes.
Bootes gets his name from the
/ fact that he seems to be driving the
Great Bear in circles around the
north star.
Sometimes he is called the plow-
man. This fits in with the fact that
the Great Dipper is sometimes called
the pillow.

The States Butter
Record

Kansas entered the field as a commercial manu-
facturer Of butter some time in the Seventies of
the last century. In 1880 Kansas ranked twenty
sixth as a creamery butter-making state. By 1890
this rank had advanced to tenth place, and nv 1900
to eighth place. At present Kansas ranks eleventh
although if all the butter made from Kansas cream
was made within the state her rank probably
would be about sixth.
During the period from 1885 to 1900 not less
than 500 local creameries fully equipped with power
separators for handling whole milk, were built in
Kansas at an average cost to the farmers in each
community of no less than $4,000. The total
investment by farmers in Kansas, while mbued
with the enthusiasm of boosting .dairyng by intro
ducing the creamery. system of buttermakng, was
not less than million dollars The experience
which these widely spread groups of farmers had
with local whole milk creameries was both thorough
and unsatisfactory.
Since Kansas farmers were not dairy farmers,
they discontinued the milking of cows when the
ratio Kansas climate allowed them good wheat
CROP The natural result that the creamery
business failed because of lack of raw material.
Most Of these promoted creameries were sold to
private individuals at loss to the farmers of so
to 75 cents the dollar. Since there were few

Development of Gen.
trail Creamery

Probably the first central creamery in Kansas
was the Belle Springs Creamery Company of
Abilene. A. G. Eyth of Enterprise probably was
close second Later there were others. In 1900
the Continental Creamery Company was organized
in Topeka.
In 1902 the Continental Creamery Company
started the distribution of hand separators among
the farmers in the vicinity of their skimmng sta
tions, after which no more milk was received, but
in its stead sweet cream was purchased from the
farmers, pasteurized, cooled and shipped to the
by most of the other creameries. Cream was re-
ceived only three or four days week and was re-
eured to be sweet.
A few years later Kansas creameries were
forced to abandon this system by Nebraska cream
cry which invaded Kansas territory, paying the
same price for all cream regardless of sourness, as
was paid by the others for sweet cream. This event
probably marks the beginning of the cream quality
problem in the centralized system of butter making
and also the beginning of the recent history of but
ter manufacture in Kansas
The Sauk Centre herald., 1924-02-28
Future of Butter
Industry

few figures as to the extent and future pos
sibilities of butter manufacture in Kansas may be
of interest
There about 92 creameries in Kansas, 18
of which central plants making from 100000
to million pounds of butter annually. These 1S
plants make approximately 83 per cent of the but
ter made within the state from Kansas cream.
There about 36 central creameries outside the
state making butter from Kansas cream
which raises the total of butter made by central
plants from Kansas to about 80 per cent of
the total Creameries controlled by the packing in
dustry make approximately 80 per of the
total butter made in Kansas. The, largest creamery
in the state is located in Topeka.
The creamery butter production of Kansas in
1922 in pounds was follows: Manufactured in
Kansas from Kansas cream, 36,336, ,748 manufac-
tured outside from Kansas cream, 296; total
manufactured from Kansas cream, 58,579,044 :;
manufactured in Kansas from outside cream, mil
lion. Number of pounds manufactured in Kansas
total 40,240,000 Number of pounds of creamery
and farm butter made in Kansas total 53,056, ,113
By these figures have shown that large per-
centage of Kansas butter is made by large cream
cries and yet have offered no encouragement to
the small, locally owned creamery. Kansas has
a great many that just lmping along. The
successful ones managed by good business men
who that their business 10 operated efficiently.
Many of the unsuccessful operated by
persons who know very little about the business
and are not progressive enough to learn and adopt
modern methods.

A Cow Standard

Where do you draw the line be-
tween profitable and an unproftable
COW in milk production? In the first
place you have ITO have some sort IF
milk records. You nave to know how
many pounds or gallons of milk a
certain COW gave for the entire year
and have ten or a dozen te sts on this
milk throughout the year, so you can
figure her actual buttereat productio On
for the year. If you could do this
with each one of yonr cows, the re-
suits are always astonishing. Your
herd may be uniform but more likely,
it is not "Red" would figure 10 lbs.
of butterfat for the year. "Spot"
would go 160 lbs., "Blache" would
run over 200 lbs. and the queen OF
your herd may go four, FIVE or six
hundred pounds Or higher pounds OF
butterfat. Now where co you draw
the line on whether a COW is kept or
sold?
Everybody has different standard
for good COW. Some dairymen,
with the exception of a few herds,
could hardly ind what they want in
the way of COW anywhere around
Sauk Centre, other dairynlen have the
best local herds IN their minds as
ideals that they are working towards,
while still other dairy.nen have one
cow. that tops their herd and they
are trying to get all their cows as
good as that one.
Some dairymen keep nothing less
than five or six hundred pound but
terfat cows. Some set their mark at
two and three hundred pounds. Others
have no standard and don't think of
their cows in terms of butterfat. The
state average is approximately $50
pounds of butterfat production per
cow. Cows surely have to be above
this average to make money.
The business dairyman knows his
individual cows. He has a certain
standard in his mind that each of
them has to meet in order to remain
in his herd. He milks fewer cows
but better cows.
Know your cows. Have your stand
ard requirement for each cow to
come up to. The higher the standard,
the better the dairyman. Some dairy
men set their standard consciously,
others unconsciously have a standard
for a COW.
Value COW according to her milk
production for all twelve months of
the year. She costs you money in
feed, labor and overhead all twelve
months of the year.
Don't value her on total pounds or
gallons of milk alone. Maybe she
is very low tester, and its butter

Value of Cream
Products

Secretary Mohler of the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture estimates the value of Kansas dairy
dairy commissioners figures for 1922 show that
the cream producers of Kansas were paid more
than IA million dollars for butterfat for churning
forms Indispensable service for the Kansas
farmer by furnishing efficient organization for
centralizing material, manufacturing it into
finished product in the form which the consumer
demands storing this product under artificial refrg
Grafton and finally delivering it to the consumer
when and where it is wanted. For this service he
is entitled reasonable interest n his investment
plus small profit. There is probably no product
which is manufactured a smaller margin of
profit than butter. Considering the prices which
reasonable believe that if his system of prouc-
ton approached the degree of efficiency found
in industrial enterprises, his profits would be equal
ly high higher than the manufacturers.
Leaving you with this thought, we will pro-
ceed to the discussion of the butter industry in
Kansas.
