Community Club
Holds Profitable,
Interesting Meeting

EUREKA, April l2.-The Tobacco
Valley Community club held their
regular meeting on Saturday at the
high school with a good attendance.
Harry Owens, proprietor of Eureka
Valley Creamery, gave very edu-
cative and interesting talk on the
care of cream He emphasized the
need of cleanliness from COW to
creamery. He explained the reason
for variation in cream tests, very
often due to allowing cream to be-
come lumpy. He explained the av-
erage range of score for butter and
gave the effect of getting bad
favored can of cream on the score,
thus cutting down on the score and
on the profit to the creamery and to
the farmer. Scoring is based on
flavor, body texture, salt, color and
the package. The butter maker can
control all points except the first,
the most important, which is pretty
much up to the farmer in the way
he cares for his cream and the feed
he gives his cows $4,000 pounds
of butter were made In Eureka at
the creamery last year. Free milk
testing service was offered by MIR.
Owens to farmers who wish to find
out which cows are profitable and
which are not. Mr.. Owens recon-
mended the use of government bull
letins on care of milk and all phases
of farming He told of spend
ing $500 for one week of schooling
on buttermaking at Bozeman. Any
farmer can get as much out of at
tending a Farmers Institute as was
held here this winter as by attend
ing the college for one week and yet
many farmers do not avail them
selves of this service which is free
to them. MIR. Owens left the impress
sion that his vocation is a Joy to him
in every way He especially ap-
preciates the splendid cooperation
he has received from all with whom
he has come in contact since coming
here.
