A correspondent of The Rural New Yorker describes a visit made to the largest creamery in the country, the Standard Butter factory at Owego. In 1891 this creamery made nearly 1,000,000 pounds or butter. It uses the milk from about 700 farms. The pro prietors have nine receiving stations at various points witnin a rauius or inirty miles. At these stations are separators, where the cream is taken at once from the milk and shipped to the central fac tory. The skimmilk and the buttermilk are made into pot cheese and echmier case and sold in New York, so that noth ing is lost ill this model creamery. When a farmer signs a contract to suDoly milk to this creamery, he must bind himself to certain stipulations, as follows: The milking must be done in a cleanly man- ner: the milk must ue strainea tnrougn e strainer of stipulated fineness, thoroughly cooled Immediately after it is drawn from the cow by aerating and stirring It; the cans must be kept in tanks of cold water, guarded from freezing, hauled to the ractory In spring wagons and covered in transit to keep off the sun. special pains must be taken with the cans, and no milk must be' delivered from a cow that has calved within twelve days or from a cow that will calve inside of sixty days. Among the fooda prohibited are tnruips, barley sprout, brewere' grains, distillers refuse, lin seed meaL glucose refuse, starch refuse, ensi- luge or any damaged feed, stables for cows must be ventilated, and the milkhouse also. The Standard men will not let its farmers use ensilage because there is so much bad ensilage that they will not risk its use. The same is the case with brewers' grains. One of the great troubles the Standard men find is that their patrons will not take the trouble to have fresh cows in winter, but will insist on deluging the factory with milk in June and July, when prices aro down to nothing. During this dull season they make a few full cream cheeses so as not to lose money. They say it would be money in the pockets of both themselves and the fanners if they could persuade the latter to let some of their cows rest in summer and come in fresh in winter. They pay half a cent less per quart for milk than the wholesale price in JNew Vork as a general thing. When milk wholesales at 3 cents in New York the Standard people pay 2 cents per quart net to the producer. Milk is closely and constantly tested. The Rural New Yorker says of the creamery and the milk testing: The building is of wood, neatly painted, 110 feet in length, 40 feet in width and two etoriee In height. In the second story are living rooms for one of the employees, a large cheoso curing room, coouer Bhop and cheesebox factory and the laboratory where the chemist of the es tablishment does her analytical work. Mrs. Smith, who presides in this department, finds plenty to do. The process of testing milk from the various producers is constantly going on, in order that the firm may know that it is up to the standard in the matter of butter fat and to prevont dishonesty were any of the pa trons so inclined. o one Knows wnen uis milk is to Detested, but he will soon know that it has been tested if analysis shows it below the standard. The buttermilk is tested from each churning, so that no preventable wast can possibly go undetected. The Babcock test Is mainly used, though they have also the Short and Cochrane systems at hand. The latter requires more careful handling than the others and more skill in the operator. Four scrubbers are constantly en gaged in cleaning up, and one of the things that strikes the eye most force fully is the absolutely spotless purity of all the premises. Of the workroom the correspondent writes: At the left, as we enter, are three DeLaval separators; then come, In a prolongation of the row, the three (soon to he four) great churns, each of which turns out 350 pounds of butter at a churning. In the rear of the churns and on an elevated platform are tho cream vata, Into which the cream Is pumpea as it comes trom the separators and where it Is kept until ready for the churn until the noceseaitP ripening orocess is accomplished. On tho same floor with the churns are the two large butter work ers (soon to be three) which handle about if pounds at once. At one side of the building is the receiving platform where the milk is taken from the farmers, weighed and emptied into vaU roin which it runs, when readr, to the separators.

It is all methodically done neatness, order and pre cision seem to be the characteristics of the place. Dairy and Creamery. At the last meeting of tho Indiana Dairy association Mr. J. H. Monrad told the members that on a farm where he had been testing the milk for cheese making purposes, he actually found that it was richer when the old lady did the milking than when this was done by the hired girl or the boy. He said this was because the cows were fond of the house mother, and in a better mental state when she milked them. Care, cleanliness and gentleness are what make the cows give the most and the richest milk. AjTshires for cheese, Jerseys for bat ter, is Btill the rule of faith and practice in Vermont. Mrs. Laura D. Worley, the famous In diana butter maker says: "Pipenel cream butter, salted about one ounce to the pound, is the commercial butter of todav. The cream should be slightly acid to produce this bntter, but care should be taken that the acidity does not progress too far, for if it does the bntter yield will diminish." While the crcat amount of butter making for general com meicial purposes will in time pass over to ine creamery, the private butter dairyman ana uairy woman who know their business will never lose their trade or their prohts. was because farm butter making was so atrociously bad that the creamery stepped in and appropriated the busi- ness. THE MILK BUSINESS. Robbery of Producers and Consumers by Skiinmllk Adulteration. The Rural Now Yorker pays ita re spects to the New York Milk exchange m an article from which we make an extract. All through the milk producing re gions members of the exchange have es tablished milk receiving stations, where they buy milk of the producers, paying for it generally a half cent per quart less than the net price in New York. In other words, they meet in New York 13 per cent, of solids and 4 or more per cent, of fat. See how easy it is for these unscrupulous men to adulterate the milk by adding skimmed milk to pure. Look at these figures: 30 quarts mllkr solids 13 800 to quarts SKinimca mint, sonus iu iuu tO quarts, total solids 4W) l quari, sonus 14ft This shows, that in the case of milk showing 18 per cent, of solids and 4 per cent, of fat, they could Bafely mix ten quarts of skimmed milk with thirty quarts of pure and the mixture would stand the legal test. It is perfectly safe to say that the milk received at the ex change creameries for eleven months in the year is rich enough to allow them to put five quarts of skimmed milk into every forty quart can without subject ing themselves to the penalties of the law. We append a few extracts from the fourth annual report of the state dairy commissioner of this state: Some creamery men are no doubt practicing the adulteration of milk by adding a certain percentage of skimmilk to each can shipped to market, they having discovered that they cau do this without reducing the milk below the lowest Btandnrd required by law. One creamery man had the audacity to come to me and make the following statement: That ho was selling his milk at wholesale and retail in Brooklyn; that he thought some of the farm ers delivering their milk at his creamery wa tered it; that be feared that the milk would be brought below the standard by reason of the supposed watering and the addition by him self, as he acknowledged, of five quarts of skimmilk to every thirty-live of pure milk, and that he was fearful lest the dairy commissioner or the board of health should prosecute him. n line, he wanted to be protected against the fraud of tho farmers In order to consummate his ewn fraud on his customers. I find that the detection of the above offcnsosl Is most difficult. Being committed behind closed doors it ia cot easy to detect it. Another creamery man delivered his milk at a railroad depot. The agent noticed that the cans were not full and called the attention of the c-arty delivering the milk to the fact. He swered that tie had forgotten to add the skim milk. and returned to the creamery and brought what was presumably skimmilk to the depot and filled the cans. The f arrenching effects of this per sistent adulteration are apparent when we lock into the figures. A careful es timate puts the amount of milk shipped to New York from exchange creamer ies at about 0,000 cans daily. If we as sume that these contain, on an average. only five quarts of sMmmed milk apiece, it will be seen that the aggregate amounts to 35,000 quarts or 625 cans daily a quantity larger than the ter rible "surplus about which so much has been said and which has been such potent factor in beating down the price in the handB of the exchange. The evil is a monstrous one. The milk law needs amending. The proportion of fat solids is too small and should be changed. The law today makes any farmer who sells his milk to a butter or cheese factory, and who adds water or subtracts any cream, guilty of a misdemeanor, and that is an it should be. Now let us have the same medicine for the dealor, and let us be empowered to call the employees in creameries as witnesses. If it can be proved that a creamery man has added skimmed milk to his other milk and offered the mixture for sale, let it he a misdemeanor, no matter what analysis of it shows. If it is good law for the farmer it is good law for the exchange man. liaising; Calves. If it is desired to raise any calves, Bret be sure that they are worth raising, It scarcely pays now to raise a calf from any bull that is not known to be of pure bred stock and from a family that are extra either as milk or as butter pro ducers. The cow also should be one that is better than the average of the herd, although more depends upon the grandmother of the calf than upon its mother, usually. It should not be kept upon the cow more than two or three days, both for its own benefit and for hers, but should have milk warm from her three or four times a day for the first week and every morning and nighi for another two weeks, after which time the milk may be adulterated by adding a part of sweet skimmed milk, warmed to the same temperature. The pure milk may be gradually less ened and the skimmed milk increased, until at five weeks old it will be found to be growing, as fast, but perhaps not keeping as fat, as if it were hav ing all new milk. The change may be made earlier if the use of the milk is very much desired, by adding flaxseed tea to the skimmed milk, but the results need watching carefully, as a little blnn der may cause indigestion or other trouble. American Cultivator. Dairy and Creamery. Don't pour unknown chemical stuifs into milk to prevent its souring. It is a nasty, dishonest thing to do. A curious question was that which came np at a recent dairy convention whether men or women should make butter. That convention must have been hard put to it for something to discuss. From the first, at the beginning of this year, tho dairy school of Wisconsin had the full complement of students it could accommodate 100. These dairy schools, patronized by earnest and brainy young men and women, will put the butter and cheese of the United Sta'-es ahead of all others.

Some Practical Hints Which May b. V ful In an Emergency. If you cannot swim, and should fall overboard, stand in an erect position and "tread water." To do this, use your legs precisely as though you were walk ing up stairs. You should also paddle slowly up and down, alternately, with your hands. In case it should be neces sary to remain in the water a long time this operation may become tiresome, in which case you may rest yourself by lying flat upon your back with your legs close together, and arms extended at full length backward until your hands touch.

The chief difference between cow's milk and human milk consists in the proportions of the protein constituents, the albumin preponderating in the lat- tev, and the casein in the former. A tier- man chemist has rectified this diver- gence by adding to cow's milk albumin in such a condition as not to lie readily coagulated. This is effected by heat ing albumin from vegetable or animal sources' to a temperature of 100 aeg, C, whereby it is liquefied, and does not coagulate on standing. How to Use Hot Water. If you feel ill and out of sorts try hot Water. Drink it freely, putting a drop of lemon mice in it if the odor is nan seating. Tie up your head in it if you have neuralgia. Keep hot applications of it upon sure throats and stiff necks. In short, try hot water for everything. How to Dissipate the Odor of Cooking.
