ceive for his goods unless he has a bank, and there are. not 

 many bankers running creameries." 



Mr. Tenney: " How many patrons did you lose in making 

 this change?" 



Mr. Harrison: "Well, I heard there was a man came to a 

 store in the neighborhood and gave me a genuine cursing, was 

 going to start a rival creamery, and kicked up a row generally, 

 but I don't know that I lost one patron." 



The President: " Do you churn you cream sweet?" 



Mr. Harrison: "No, sir; I did not explain why I wanted it 

 sweet, I thought creamery men would know the reason why, 

 but I had to explain it to the patrons a good deal. A good 

 many of them refused to give me sweet cream because they 

 thought I was going to churn it sweet, and would not get so 

 much butter out of it. They said, 'Sweet cream will yield that 

 j much less butter, and there's only two cents difference, and 

 | therefore it won't pay us.' " 



Mr. Sawyer: "Do you handle your samples, sweet cream 

 samples, and sour cream samples?" 



Mr. Harrison: "Well, we do when there is a requirement 



for it. I would not know how to handle them differently and 



obtain different results. We get a very clean separation. The 



isour is no better than the sweet, and our sweet cream samples 



in the oil test are just as complete and perfect as the sour cream. 



The President: "Do you think you will get the same re- 

 turn from testing a vial of sweet cream that you will a vial of 

 sour cream ? " 



Mr. Harrison: "We don't test it sweet." 



Mr. W. R. Hostetter: "Do you expect to gather in that 

 same way in the summer?" 



The President: "Every straight, square man that raises 

 cream can just as well keep it sweet as sour if gathered every 

 day of course." 



Mr. Tenney: "Then, am I to understand that it is import- 

 ant that the samples should be sour before churning?" 



The Secretary: " Yes, quite so, to have the test uniform."
