~ CONCERNING CREAM- ERIES. The Conditions Requisite fora Suoe cossfal Creamery=-What has and may be Domo in Wostern Massa- chusetts, Henry E. Alvord contributes the following to the Springfield Republi can: By way of proface let it bo un- derstood that creamery is a term used the formation of creameries is moving | to designate a place of business wher milk or eream produced upon different farms and owned by different persons is brought together to be made into butter, or perhaps both butter and cheese. Although a rather new word, creamery as naturally conveys the idea of a place or workshop as the word tan nery or factory leading to talk of a *‘private creamery There are several different kinds of cremmeries in existence, but they form | two general classes; in one the wholc milk is conveyed to the factory while | fresh, and in the other the eream alone | is colleeted, the skimmed milk remain- | ing on the farms where produced Scveral cheese factories which have been in operation in this state for a number of yo really belong to this | first class of creameries, for while| they have made cheese production the | prime object, from two to four pounds of butter have been taken from every | hundred weight of milk. This plan compares very unfavorably with the simple butter factory where skim milk | is either left on the farms or returned to them. The condition of New Eng- | land dairy farms generally is such as to make it very unprofitable to rob them of the elements of fertility con- tained in the milk produced unless better returns can be obtained than are usual for skimnied or half-skimmed cheese. The old style of factory which recewves all the milk and makes only butter has_two fatal objections; first, the necessity of hauling the whole milk to the factory and the skim milk home again or losing it from the farm; and, second, the failure to satisfactori- ly provide in the payments for the dif- ference in the butter value of milk from different farms. The treatment of all milk above a_ fixed standard as equal in value, has killed a good many cheese factories, and is having the same effect upon “‘all-the-milk” butter factories. But two kinds of creameries can safely be adopted in New England. In a locality where there is a large and constant market for fresh milk, skim-milk, cream, buttermilk, butter and cheese, and where a patronage of 400 or more cows can be secured, four or five thousand dollars will build and equip a creamery to receive the fresh milk and then dispose of it in the most desirable form, according to the state of the market. Such an es lishment is quite complex, but, well managed, it can be made to yield re- turns which will justify selling the whole milk. The other kind is the simplest form of butter-factory, like that in operation at Hatfield. This is on_the cream-gathering plan, or the “‘Fairlamb system,” is it is called for its originator. Such a creamery, with oapaoity for making the butter from 300 to 500 cows, can be started with a capital of $1,500 or $2,500. In this plan the milk is set on the farm where made, this being most favorable for cream production, is treated in the separation in a uniform manner upon the several farms contributing to the factory, and is skimmed by the cream- gatherer sent out daily from the creamery. Good butter cows and those herds best fed and cared for get the benefit in the greater quantity of | cream. 1t is not pretended that one pound or quart of cream has exactly the same butter value as every other pound or quart—but there is much less difference than exists in milk, With perfectly uniform treatment of the milk, the cream produced in d nt places is found to be pract so nearly alike as to make this em equitable and satisfactory to those who adopt it. The hauling in- cident to this kind of creamery is re- duced to a minimum, and_the system seems the best suited to New England ot all the forms of associated diary- ing. The organ tion and management of a creamery may be either tive or propriet The co-ope plan is the more popular for the in- troduction of this system of dairying. It has the advantage of distributing the outlay, and bringing a larger number of persons into a direct in- terest in the success of the enterprise, The government is republican in form and the general form of the statutes of Massachusetts, at least, are favor- able for the formation of corporations on the co-operative principle, The best course, in adopting this plan s to distribute the capital stock as much a8 possible among the owners of the cows, guarantee a reasonable, fixed rate of interest upon the capital, to be charged as part of the current ex- penses of the creamery, and make the dividends upon the milk or cream contributed, pro rats, and fluctuating with the state of the markets. This co-operative feature will give satisfac- tion for some time, but the tendency will be to gradually concentrate tho ownership of stock, and hence the management of the business, in fow hands, becoming & closer corporation. The dividends may still be upon x il or cream received, The next change will bo to fix the price paid by the factory for milk and cream, from time to time, dropping the co-opera- tive principlo and throwing the gain or loss upon the stock. Within a few years the business may be expected, by a course of natural changes, to as- sume the form of 4 regular branch of manufacturing, The creamery will be established, owned and managed by individuals or & joint stock com- pany, just like a wooden mill, and bearing the same relation to the farm ers, The Fairlamb form of creamery will be the simplest and most desira. ble agriculturally. Cream, the raw material, bought of the producers on the farms, butter the manufactured article The time has passed for arguing the general advantages of the creamery system of making butter. Originat- ing twenty years ago in the famous dairy county of Orange, N. Y., the creamery practice has gradually crept westward, and has been so developed and perfected in the northwest as to wmake that section, under that system, - | various patterns of factory fiitings. - [ling houses and 425 cows k | and those having but few sreatest butter-producing district n untry Colonies of New En land farmers and their child planted upon prairie soil, found the Udairy methods neither economical in practice nor satisfactory in results, system they prodice but ter by the car load which | and for higher prices than made at their old farm homes in tle east | And this, too, with grass and water | comparing unfavorably with tiose of | the hills and valleys between the Hud {son and the Connecticut. Aud now | rapidly eastward. Within two years | more than 100 have been established |in Pennsylvania; they are multiplying in New York and apj n New [England. Butter factories are in_ac tual operation in Connectict Hampshire, Vermont and Mussachu | setts —only one, thus far, in tlis state, | but others are in - process of crganiza tion It is, therefore, mis-| _In the five western counties of Massachusetts, several creamecries will be in operation within a year, In this matter Old Hampshire ‘is ahead; | the Hatfield creamery is the first in | the state to put its product nto the market, the “Hampton ™ is fully o1 ganized, and one other is hemg formed. | This county has had no special reputa- | tion for butter-making, but is now in | a fair way to make one, wnd will probably be in time to avail itself of the new road to market over the Central. “Little Franklin,” on the other hand, has made no move toward the factory system. Doubtless she thinks that with her high and well- earned reputation for choice « butter (and that new refrigentor she can compete with the dairymen of Tow after week for some ys rs, the cream- | or four cents a pound more than_the dairy butter of Franklin et ty. Dur- | ing the year 1880 the latter sold in Boston at an average pricc of 24} cents for all sent there, and during the same time western butteraveraged 28 cents, This means in plin Eng- lish that if the 450 tons of dairy but- ter sent out of Franklin coimty last year had been creamery nade and s0ld as well, relatively, as th: product of the Hatfield factory has thus far, the farmers of Franklin would have received 825,000 more in mmey for their butter! A right snug little sum this, and it would have beei almost clear gain, As the creameries are comng, and apparently coming so soon, it i full time for people likely to be interested in this change to begin to colect facts and to discuss the subject in its differ- ent aspects, as has been don: at num- erous agricultural meetings held in this section during the past winter. Important points to conside: are, the best locations for introducing the new system, the different kind of cream- eries, the different forms of manage- ment, and the relotive meris of the Although this system o dairying has generally proved adswantageous wherever it has been established, it by no means follows that every New En- gland town or village should have a creamery or butter factory. Cows are the fiast. requisite, sufficient in num- ber, within reach and availabls for the purpose. It is pretty safe to say that for an coonovmical creamery there should be a thousand cows kept with- in four or five miles of the proposed location; or at least the farms within this radius should be capable of sup- porting this number. Only a part of the cows within reach will contribute to a factory in most cases, and the number stated may be owned ina community, yet few be available be- cause of dense population and great wilk consumption. The ratio of cows to people is an important considera- tion. A rough but easy estimate can be made by comparing the number of cows and of dwelling houses, these res being on the town rec- s If there are more houses than ws that town is not the pl; for a simple butter facltory, although it may | do for onc kind of a creamery. But if the cows considerably outnumber | the dwellings,a good locationis indica- ted; and when this ratio exceeds two | to one the only doubts remaning are as to extent of territory and condition of roads, As few townseontain a thousand cows, combinations of adja- cent towns are to be considersd, For example, Greonfield, with 745 dwel- is evidentl not a good location; Deerfidd, with 628 houses and 923 cows is favorable; these two towns together have 1,373 houses and 1,348 cows, which should decide agaist this combination. But Deerfidd and Sunderland, which give the natio 769 to 1,37, or Deerficld and Whately, 831 to 1,471, would make a strong tewm and ensure a successful ceamery. In like manner, Easthamptan alone has only 404 cows and 732 cwellings —butthe ‘‘threelittle Hamptois” com- bined have 1,413 cows to 1,076 dwell- ings. A community which has the requisite cows, and which has hereto- fore made a considerable swplus of good butter, although without special reputation, is & better locatioa for a butter-factory, at present, thaa one in which a large part of the farmers are makers of a premiumor “fancy” arti- cle of butter, with establishedmarkets ensuring sales well above theaverage rates. The people to be meat bene- fitted by the establishment of cream- eries within their reach, espeially at first, are the average butter makers ows, whose product sells at the average market price or even less, The premum-tak- ing neighbors will bo glad emugh to have o creamery in operatbn near them, a few years hence, but they won't be the first to feel the meed, and it is & mistake in any locality to wait | for this class to make the fint move toward establishing a factory. As rule, ‘however, the circumstances in three-fourths of our New England towns where more butter is new made annually than is consumed wre such | that they will be found to lie sithin a | district favorable for suppating a | butter factory. Andin otha towns, | with little or no butter making but | large milk production, ereamevies of a cortain kind may be advantigeously established. Creameries are coming, atd these are among the changes that we may expect. Within a few years butter- making will be the exception m New England farms, and churns will only be found in the attics. Family churns will be more of a cusiosity at *he next centennial than spinning-wheds were st the last. 1 sooner | But the fact is, thit weok ] ery butter of Towa has averaged three | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: S0 Far as itis Concerned, All Other Shows mply Do Not Exist SELLS BROTHERS' Millionaire Confederation OF 8TUPENDOUS RAILROAD SHOWS | | Will erect its Halt a Million Yards of Tents, Bla. | ing with 7 Great Electric | ONEATXEILA, Thursday, June 9th, Infinitely the Greatest Menagerie and Circus Ever Known.
