In Eastern Oregon tho uveiage
herd of ranch cows yields 25 pounds
of butter fat per month, where cream-
cries have been operated and but
ter averagca 30 cents per pound nil
tho year. This would mean nu In
come of 28 cents per pound ,ror 25
pounds of butter fat per cow, or $7
per head por month. Not every herd
of common cows will average 25
pounds each por month, somo of
them running us low as 18 and 20
pounds, whllo several herds hnVo av
eraged over one pound a dny each,
ur 30 pounds a month, making an In
ferno from milk 8.0 per cow per
month.
Another question settled by the
lottor is that of skimming stations.
It Is nocessnry for each farmer to
sopnrnto his own milk, nnd tho
creamery will take the cream from
every door, thtiB leaving tho wnnn
sMm milk at homo for Immedlnto
use and doing awny with the old te
dious tnsk of delivering milk. No
skimming stations are maintained
slnco hand separators have I n in
troduccd.
Mr, Goodhue's Letter,
Tho letter Is as follows:
Salem. Doc. 22. To tho Hdltor.1
Itonlylng to your Inquiry, will state
that tho basis of prices paid for but
ter fnt to patrons or our ctenmery
Is always upon tho highest market
quotations lor best creamery butter.
For exumplo, when best crenmery
butter is selling ror ;iu cents, tuo
prlco paid to tho patron for butter
fat would not be less than ZHft
cents per pound, delivered at. the
creamery.
I wish to correct a wrong ImproB-
hiou you now soem to have In regard
o our methods of operating a cream
ery. Wo do not follow tno oni mom
oil of operating tho whole milk sys
tem. Hence, we do not esliihlisu
skimming stntlons and have milk
thoro to ho dollvured nnd separated
But to tho contrary, wo require ench
pntrnn to own and operate ft hand
power separator and taku the cream
from tho patron's door, or ir "ro
convenient, It Is delivered by or ship-
pod In by rail to mo creamery.
Bv t ils means tho warm sKimmim
milk Is kopt at nemo and tho endless
labor of going to and from tho skim
ming station ovury day in the year
with milk, Is abolished. The whole
milk system Is almost entirely aban
doned by every crenmery concern In
tho Northwest, Wlmt few stntlons
that are still operating nro simply
continued at a loss until tho few pat
rons they havo fan conveniently
hango to the hand separator.
Those hand separators coat on an
uverago for fivo rows, $65; flvo to
eight tows, $85; olght to 16 cows.
$100; 15 to 25 cows, $126, and 25 to
100 cows, $200.
