A FAMOUS CREAMERY.
Description of the Largest Creamery In
the Country.
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.

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

HOW TO KEEP FROM DROWNINQ.
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. This position can be maintained

How to Make Artificial Human Milk.
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.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
COLUMBUS AND COLUMBIA..
The Dominion Publishing Company,
of Seattle, Wash., has just brought out
a truly great work under the above title.
It is not tbe creation of one mind, but
the oonibined genius of four master au
thors, Hon. James G. Blaine, Prof. John
Clark Ridpath, J. W. Buell, and Hon.
Benj. Bntterworth, eaob performing an
important part in its production. It is
in fact four important and valuable books
bound up in one huge volume containing
nearly 900 large quarto pnges and 500
illustrations and historical puiutingi,
many of tbem being full page colored
plates, and of tbe whole of which it is
impossible to speak in too much praise
Mi jnlnmhns and l !olnmriAM ryini, lu triili
Columbus and Columbia" may be truly
said to oonBtitute a grand panorama of
our oountry's surprising history. Mr.
Blaine hr.s oertsiuly been very happy iu
bis portion of the work, whioh Oonsists
of "A Review of Our Country; nor has
Prof. Ridpath been less sncoessful in his
elaborate and Btlraotively written "His
tory of the United Stales," from its dis
covery by Colnmbns to the present time.
The uame of J. W. Bnell is too well
known to every book reader in tbia coun
try to need any further reoommendatiou
from us, and he has certainly added
immensely to his reputation byhissplen
did biography of Christopher Columbus,
which forms an important feat tne of this
work. Full justice lids been done by
Hon. Beuj. Bntterworth to the subject
that he bus taken iu hand, namely, "An
Official History of the Columbian F.xpo
sition," than wlioui oertaioly no one is
better able to handle thiB subject than
Mr. Bntterworth, who has been anting as
secretary and solicitor-general for the
World's Fair Commission. As the cen
tury closes, every intelligent fnmily will
want a record of its wonderful accom
plishments, end a history ot the splendid
events that have led ni) to them, and
Columbus and Columbia" is a work that
oertBinly fills the bill beyond what would
be conceived possible within tho soope
of one volume. It is certainly a book
that every family in Amerioa ought to
and rotist have. We must congratulate
the Dominion Publishing Company in
having brought before the public a work
that will be a credit to their zenl and en
terprise for a long time to oome. We
understand that "Columbus and Colum
bia" is sold only by subscription and at
popular prices. 'The publisher's adver
tisement appears in another column.
To Make Lndien Yonng Again.
From the Detroit Free Press.
A wily Frenohman, whose rogueries
gave him him an unsavory notoriety
throughout the town in whioh he lived,
at'oue time olalmed to have discovered
a speoilio for the rejuvenescence of wom
en, and, by means of sensational adver
tising, he stioceedt'd ia gathering a cli
entele ot forty or fifty old ilnmen, who
were assembled on a certain dny in a
room tricked out with astrological sym
bols, crucibles, alembics, and all the par
aphernalia of oharlatanry.
The ouujnrer presented himself before
the ladies, and addressed, them in flam-
Ooyant language, ending as follows:
"And now, senorns of my soul, it is
needful that the nijstio ceremonies be
fore us be opened by tbe elJust one
among yon." Then, addressing her
whose appearance seemed to indicate
priority, he asked her age.
"Thirty-seven years, seuor, simpered
tbe beldame, who wus at least iu the
seventh deoade.
"And you, seuoru?"
"Thirty-six "
And soon, until he had ilitin down to
declared uge of 20 years, with a miixi
m mn pf 87.
"Well, ladies, all, you perovivo that,
without further proceedings, the miruclo
is accomplished," said Otnvito; "(or the

night but young whose years are hut ,17
- and yon see for ) ourselves t lint is the
age of the oldest Hmong yon." Mat.
