10 How to Make Creamery Butter on the Farm 



of butter. Sell your cream and you get paid only for 

 80 pounds. Make good butter and sell it and get paid 

 for 100 pounds, or 25% more, besides getting more per 

 pound. 



The Buttermilk. 



The extra money that you can pocket for your but- 

 termilk will amount to a snug little sum in the course 

 of a year. Several of our friends have written us that 

 they can easily sell their buttermilk at 3c to 4c a quart, 

 sometimes more. This fact at least proves the value 

 of the buttermilk that you are throwing away when 

 you sell your cream. Even if you do not sell it as 

 buttermilk, you can sell it for even more as hog meat. 

 We need not discuss the merits of buttermilk as a 

 feed for hogs they are self-evident. 



You Save the Cost of Hauling Cream. 



Perhaps you don't realize how large an item is the 

 expense of hauling the cream to the creamery or ship- 

 ping station. You know that your time and labor are 

 worth money so much per hour. The time that you 

 or your help spend on unnecessary things means just 

 so much lost money. It is not necessary to make 

 nearly so many trips to town when you are manufac- 

 turing butter at home and shipping the finished prod- 

 uct instead of the raw material. If you will figure up 

 the cost of each trip to town with your wagon, we 

 believe that you'll find, as many other farmers have, 

 that it is somewhere between $1.00 and $2.00 per trip 

 maybe more if your farm is far out. If you are mak- 

 ing and shipping butter you need make only one-half 

 to one-fourth as many trips as you do with milk or 

 cream. It is easy to calculate your savings in hauling
