CREAM CUPS.
The co-operative creamery iv Denmark ia
crowding out private dairying and also the
creameries owned oy individuals or com
panies. The co-operatives fix the standard
of Danish butter in foreign marktts, and
that standard is a high one. Prof. Ueorgt*
am thus enumerates the benefits of the sys
tem: These creameries have been tducators
ora in addition to being the means of augu
uienting their incomes. The common inter
est which they ha;l in the creamery brought
the farmers together in frequeut consulta
tion, at which the blighter aud more enter
prising minds among them iuflutuced the
easier-tjoiug ones to adopt better methods.
It compelled those who had uot been iv the
habit of keepiug accounts to study the art
of bookkeeping iv order to assure them
selves that they received pay for all the
milk they delivered.
Charles Spurr, of Sherburue, N. V., de
livered to a cheese factory last year 202,000
pounds of milk irom his dairy of forty-tive
cows. This would bj au average of some
thing over 534 pounds of milk per day, or
about 12 1-3 pounds per cow.
The old advice to milk at regular hours
each day is just as good uuw as tliirty years
ago; aud so is that to set the milk where it
will uot absorb fuul odors.
Where the separator is used the proper
temperature of tiie cream is 80 to 85 de
grees.
Always use the best salt obtainable for
salting butter.

I was once laughed at, says a practical
dairyman, fjr paying ,$2") for a heifer
3'earling that looked as lmu-h like a goat
as a cow, but I knew her dam and grand
dam, and greatgran ldam were all of them
fine milkers, and that for three genera
tions they had been crossed up with finely
pedigreed Jersey bulls. I bought her
upon her pedigree and not for her looks,
