THE DAILY ktXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, DECEMBER 23,
SKIMMING STATIONS.
Advantages They Would Have For Farm.
er and Creamery Man. From the standpoint of a creamery, my idea is to establish a creamery in some central location, with suitable
facilities. If, then, stations to the number of five or six could be es- tablished in all directions from this cen- tral plant at points of about eight or ten miles distant, which distance would vary according to local circumstances, it would, in my estimation, make .a model business. I hold that the farmer cannot afford to haul his milk over four | or five miles. Of course there: may be some exceptions. The quality of milk he has would largely govern this mat- ter.
Now let us take, for instance, approx- imately, Let us estimate
skimming
the investment in sucha plant. that a full creamery, centrally located, could be built and equipped for $7,000; five stations at $1,250 each, making a‘total investment of $138,250. To cover the same amount of territory, having all full creameries, would require an investment, estimating the average cost at only $3,000. each, of $18,000. This will ‘be adifference in the original investment of nearly $5,000, or @ saving in interest per annum of over $50G at 10 per cent. To operate these creameries, it°ks safe’to estimate that it will require «at least a butter maker and what we recognize as a sec- ond man, costing net less than $50 and $35 respectively per.month, amounting to $6,120 per year. For a central fac- tory and «skim station let us employ an expert butter maker at, say, $900 per year and two helpers for $840 per year and five station men at $35 per month, amounting to $2,100. For conveying the cream to the central factory, $1,500, ora total of $5,340 dor the central fac- tory and skim station operation, or a total saving in the operation of $780 in operating alone. or a total saving of $1,255 per annum, or an equivalent of 914 per cent per annum on the invest- ment on tle skim station plant. In ad- dition to this you would have your en- tire product made of a uniform quality, which ought to amount to at least a half cent per pound and would probably mean more, when you consider the abil- ity of the $75 a month butter maker as against the $50 a mouth butter maker. It must be admitted that in the above figures, every advantage was shown the full creamery project, for certainly a creamery could be equipped to handle the five stations at a aost of $5,000 bet- ter than any of the full creameries could be equipped on the other plan. This would be a saving of an additional $2,- 000, of course, or a total saving of 25 per cent per annum on the station in vestment. Then there would be other items; insurance, for instance, would be favorable tothe latterscheme. Another, and the principal advantage gained by | the skimming station, is, that it can be made to pay in localities where it would | not be feasible at all to put in a full creamery. This is, indeed, the purpose | for which it is designed. If a commu- nity will furnish a quantity of milk | equal to 15,600 or 20,000 or 25,000 pounds of milk daily, this plan cannot | be judiciously recomamended. First, be- cause this quantity would warrant the | services of an expert butter maker ata | i
good salary; second, because the ship- ping or hacling of thecream of so great a quantity of milk would incur an ex- pense above that for which an additional
man’s labor could be obtained. I hold that the skim statiou can be successful- ly operated in counecticn with # central factory, where the receipts do 10t ex- ceed 3,000 pounds per day, whereas the success would be doubtfui indeed where 5 a full factory received ouly this amount. | Have you ever noticed just how many | farmers come to your czeamery every | morning, and have you noticed how | long they wait there, and do you wonder why the patron is sometimes irritable | aud as we call bim ‘‘eranky?’’ In short, have you ever figured how much time | the farmer loses in going to the cream- ery? Unless he has very large quanti- | ties of milk it must be evident to auy | .one that he more than consumes his | profit in the time he lcses.
The tendency of almost all manufac- | tured goods is toward lower prices, and | butter is uo exception. The facts are | that, althongh the average qnality of | butter is superior to that made four or five years ago, the prices obtained bave been dropping continually lower and lower, aud although the cost of manu- facturing other products has been low- ered comparatively little has beem done | to lower the cost of producing a pound | of batter.
So far what I have said is faverahle | to the station, and I wish also to dwell | upon the disadvantages. In my expari- . ence, there is but one disadvantage—i. .e., that of.trensporting the cream to the

In the summer time the sun in Kansas
gets very warm. We sometimes have trouble in the cream churning, and at some seasons of the year this seems to bother very much, and we have as yet
not learned of any remedy to overcome it other than if we insert a good sized piece of ice into the can it will float on top, leaving, of course, room enough in the can, so that with the ice it becomes quite full, it cools the cream down and in addition acts as a float, thus prevent- ing agitation, and largely overcomes the mentioned.—Address of J. L. Hoffman of Kansas.
Dairy and Creamery.
Ensilage is made successfully from corn fodder that is nearly dry. The fed- der shou!d be shredded instead of being cut. Then it should be packed very close, with water sprinkled among the layers occasivnally.
Shredded ensilage is handled with more ease than cut ensilage.
With a good farm separator one man can separate the milk of 80 cows and clean up all the utensils in from one hour to ome hour and a half.
It is safe to feed milk cows two pounds of oilmeal a day.
AN EVERYDAY HEROINE,
fhe Country Maiden, the Wicked Stage
Company and the Tailor Made Girl.
Four reckless persons had clambered into the stage, an old man, a middle aged woman, a young man and a tailor made girl. At Fiftieth street a dress- maker’s little girl struggled in with a huge box. Town life was evidently new to her. Her rosy cheeks announced country air to the least observing. She held her money in her hand.
Looking dubiously about, she finally spied the money box and dropped in the coin. After this she waited expectantly. Nothing occurred, however, and she began flushing and paling with nervous indecision. At last she resolutely stood up, attracted the driver’s attention and called to him:
‘‘How do I get my change? I puta quarter in the box,’’ ske asked.
**Yese oughter a-handed it up,” said the man. *‘ Yese can't git it now.”
‘*But it’s all 1 have,’’ protested the girl.
‘Git it off the new passengers, ”’ yell- ed the driver and turned away.
It was all the money she had, but how could she ‘‘get it off the new pas sengers?”’ Every one in the stage had become interested, but no one volun- teered any advice. Two tears rolled down the rosy cheeks.
The stage stopped, and an old lady scrambled in. As she took out her mon- ey, a 5 cent piece, the tailor made girl leaned over to her.
** Will you give me that for this little girl?’ she asked. ‘‘She dropped ina quarter by mistake, and the driver said the new passengers might make it up to her. *’
The old lady beamingly handed over the nickel. She felt that the stage com- pany was being rigidly but justly dealt with at last.
Then a man got in. This was harder for the tailor made girl, but she made the request again and handed a second fare to the grateful young person from the country. The whole stageful was now tuterested watching for a uew pas- senger as a spider watches fora fly. A womun waved desperately from down @ side street for the stage to wait tor her, but the driver passed on anheeding and exclamations of disgust arose. Another corner, and another smartly dressed girl got in. The vew arrival did net seem at first to understand the request, and, flushing. the tailor made girl repeated it and secured oue more of the precious 5 cent pieces.
The little girl had reached her desti- pation
**lam so much obliged,’ she murmur- ed to the heroic muiden who had been taking up fares in ber behalf. **l ought to get out here, so i guess Pll let the other go.”’
**No, no, you must not, ’’ said the fair conductor, opeutug her purse. ‘*Take this and 1 can get it from the hnext one who gets in.”’
**You are awfully good,’’ murmured the unsuspicious little one with new tears in her eves, and one of the men took the big box and handed it down to her when she had stepped out.
The stage rattled on and the tailor made girl looked unconcernedly out of the window. ‘The next passenger was allowed to drop his fare unmolested into the box, unconscious of the little comedy that had brought the others to- gether in a common interest for a mo- ment, and the stage company was still ahead of the game.—New York Sun.

The “Gallery Gods.”
The frequenters of the lofty gallery ef any theater have a good deal to do with the making or marring of any new play. Yet that is not how they acquire their title of ‘‘gods’’ Asa matter of fact, the origin of the expression is this: Years ago Drury Lane theater had its ceiling painted to resemble a blue sky with clouds, among which white Cupids were flying in every direction. This ceiling extended over the gallery, whose occupants thus appeared to be very uear heaven. Hence the expression arose of *‘gallery gcds.’’—London Auswers.
