I BUTTERMAKING ■ Now an Art—Explained by ii W- A. Klepper of Martin* H Klepper Creamery Co. ■ The question has been asked, ■ ’’How can the creamery pay more for ■ butterfat than they wholesale their butter for?" As the writer mention- ■ ed in the last issue there are no seto our business, and we are ■ pleased to reassure you of this fact. ■ The art of buttermaking is no seS cret neither is it complicated. On ■ the other hand, it is very simple. To ■ every bill pounds of butterfat we can ■ make 120 pounds of butter This is called the over run. The over run S consists of 16 per cent moisture, 3 per cent salt and 1 per cent curd. which is the government standard. H The farmer who makes his own ■ butter (which is a thing of the past) ■ has the same over run mentioned in ■ the foregoing paragraph, if the churning is properly done. ■ The price the farmer receives for ■ butterfat from the creameries is ab- ■ solutely more profitable than making his own butter. There are several reasons for this: First, the market ■ the creameries have for their butter ■ is much larger than the country butter markets. ■ People demand creamery butter be- ■ cause as a rule it is better butter. ■ The modern methods of nianufm tur- - ■ teurizing, etc., is bound to produce a ■ more tasty, and more healthful 3j grade of butter. This grade the pub ■ lie calls for. Pasteurization applied to cream is same as dry cleaning and washing linens at the laundry. The cream ■ goes through four strainers before it ■ is heated to a temperature of 16<> de- ■ grecs. cooled to 42 degrees, reheated ■ and cooled, thus killing all bacteria m This will give you some idea as to I the simplicity of butter making in ■ the creamery and if any one is inter- ■ ested or wishes to know anything ■ more pertaining to our business we ■ are glad to have them go through our ■ plants and we are willing to explain ■ all phases of the business.

ISj If at any time you have a news arMS tide that you think would be of in-1 ■ terest to the readers of this sheet you are urged and requested to send ■it either to the Martin-Klepper Co.. ■or to the Democrat office.

CREAMERIES NOW LIC ENSED UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL After November 1, 1917, all creameries in the United States are' ' licensed The government has found upon investigation that there is . an amazing supply of dairy products that go to waste every year i i through unfair and wasteful competition among the creameries. Such methods are over and under reading tests and paying more I ' than the market affords which were the tactics used by the dishonest ! I creameries are now a thing of the past. Accurate readings and a fair , | market price is assured the farmer, no matter with what creamery . he deals. I The creameries that have been doing an honest business welcome this change. It will help, not injure them. The Martin-Klepper Co. ' has always prided itself on the honesty of all its business transac- • tions and feels that now, more than ever before, the people will see the . value of selling their cream to a firm with sue ha reputation. We have always been fair with you and that is to be our policy as long as we are in business. — > : THE -— ——— wiiHiiffim. Decatur, Ind. CREAMERIES ’Phone 50 Want to Buy Your Butter Fat They are willing to pay you the highest price the market affords. They want you to he entirely satisfied with every transaction you have with them. i Would it not pay you to deal with such a firm? I WARM BARNS ESSENTIAL. Cold weather is one of the most dangerous of enemies to the dairyman. Dairy herds must be well housed and comfortable if they ( are to give good returns. When a cow is comfortable in a warm, well lighted and well ventilated barn she will doubly repay you for the trouble and money spent in the quality and the quantity of her milk It is a mistake to turn the cows into ehe barnyard in very cold weather, especially the milk cows. If so exposed while cleaning out their stalls, it should be for a short time only. Remember, “a shivI ering cow will never fill the milk pail.” KEEP COWS GAINING. Most farmers expect their cows to give the most milk after I freshening and then to gradually decrease. This is not as it should be for experienced feeders declare that cows may be made to increase i in milk flow' from the time they calve until a month or more afterward when they are at their maximum production.

SELLING CREAM I ■ Profitable Industry—Test-# er Recommended to Prevent Misunderstanding, There are many reasons for selling ■ cream. Farmers know the value ofH the cow to their land. They know■ that she is making money for himH every day in the year, even in dead of winter when their farms ■ yield practically nothing of profit toB them. The cow is kept as many un-H salable foods and causes less trouble ■ in the barnyard than any other ■ | stock. ■ The cow however, must have theH best of care to produce her full ca-H paeity of milk. Many farmers now ■ think that a cold barn, a dirty barn ■ yard .etc., have li ‘le. effect upon tle9 I milk supply, but if they should inves-B tigate thoroughly the cause for un-B 1 det --supplies of milk they would find ■ ;that they are to blame, not the cow. Bj If the farmer takes the pains to his cows the best of care they will a handsome profit.. na The farmer should purchase aEg tester to test the cows and the cream I before it goes to the creamery. It BE every farmer would test the cream ■ I before going to the market many of H I the arguments and ' ings concerning tests could be'easilyß explained. ■ Confidence is the basis of trade. The Martin-Klepper Co. wants yourß confidence as well as you expect■ theirs. E THE FAMILY COW. ■ The family cow should be a con-B stant source of cheap, pure, and delicious milk. Such may be the ■ ease, if a few precautions are taken It is frequently observed, however ■ that under the conditions surround ■ ing the family cow only dirty, diseas ■ ed milk can be produced. ■ A cow may lie suffering from tu ■ berculosis. the worst disease to which ■ she is subject, and still show signs of it to the proud owner. Forß the sake of the children who drink ■ the milk, a qualified veterinarian ■ should be called upon to inspect and ■ test each cow every year. ■ With the assurance of a healthy ■ cow. she should be housed in a clean. ■ well lighted shed and provided with a clean yard in which to exercise. ■ The milk should be drawn into aB clean, small-topped milk pail and M kept cool until consumed. ■ Milk sours and spoils because the bacteria which enter it with dirt ■ from the cow and from pails not thor-lg oughlv washed. Keeping these teria out of the milk and preventing■ their growth by keeping the milk H| cool, are easy and efficient means of procuring the best of milk from theß family cow provided she is free from H disease. —Percy Werner.
