swers  as  well,  and  then  one  has 
power  at  hand  for  a  force  pump,  and 
running  the  small  machinery  as  well. 
Sanitation  is  only  another  word  to  ex¬ 
press  extreme  cleanliness,  and  a  sanitary 
factory  is  only  a  place  where  the  flies 
are  kept  out,  the  cobwebs  swept  down, 
and  the  floor  vats  and  implements  made 
spick-span  clean  and  kept  so.  Never  take 
in  milk  from  the  old  style  open-top  can, 
and  see  and  know  that  every  can  before 
it  is  returned  to  the  farm  has  been  thor¬ 
oughly  washed  and  sterilized  with  live 
steam,  at  the  factory.  Require  that  these 
cans  shall  not  be  used  for  any  domestic, 
or  other  purpose  at  the  farm,  and 
now  and  then  to"  be  sure,  use  the  cotton 
sediment  test  when  receiving  milk,  to 
know  what  possibly  may  be  in  the  can 
besides  milk. 
Let  the  patrons  stay  by  each  ether 
and  work  to  promote  the  best  int'o-ests 
of  all.  Do  not  believe  there  is  another 
factory  that  will  do  better  by  you  than 
your  own.  Get.  together  every  month  and 
talk  over  matter,  how  to  care  better  for 
the  cows,  feed  them  better,  and  at  less  ex¬ 
pense.  Talk  about  how  to  breed  better 
cows.  Let  every  man  take  a  good  dairy 
paper  and  make  a  study  of  dairying. 
Make  your  co-operative  effort  a  dairy 
school,  be  willing  students,  and  The 
R.  X.-Y.  will  willingly  give  you  every 
assistance  possible.  j.  g. 
buffer 
On  the  ways  of  operating  a  co-operative 
cheese  factory  there  is  no  end  of  opinions, 
and  of  them  all,  there  seems  to  be  quite 
as  much  from  the  human  viewpoint,  as 
the  defects  in  the  mechanical  working  of 
the  concern.  This  purely  personal  view 
of  how  things  should  be  managed,  refus¬ 
ing  concessions  and  arbitration  of  differ¬ 
ences.  is  the  very  thing  that  has  wrecked 
so  many  co-operative  efforts,  and  landed 
the  factory  at  last  in  private  ownership. 
First,  I  would  have  as  few  rules,  laws, 
and  whereases  in  the  formation  of  the 
company  as  possible,  but  have  the  few 
clear  and  explicit,  and  have  every  patron 
feel  the  responsibility  of  his  agreement 
and  live  up  to  these  few  requirements, 
until  changed  by  a  majority  vote  of  the 
association.  If  there  are  any  defects  in 
the  working,  it  will  be  noticed  by  many 
rather  than  a  single  member.  I  would 
have  the  ownership  of  the  factory  di¬ 
vided  as  nearly  equal  as  possible  in 
amount,  and  on  this  I  would  expect  that 
dividends  should  be  paid.  The  divi¬ 
dends  should  come  in  the  way  of  a  de¬ 
creased  cost  of  material  and  a  better  mar¬ 
ket  quality  of  produce.  No  one  buys  a 
grain  drill  or  an  auto  expecting  divi¬ 
dends  aside  from  increased  utility  and 
pleasure.  Do  not  stock  up  too  heavily 
with  expensive  machinery,  and  ofteu 
little-used  accessories,  and  buy  from  re-

A  WET  SEASON  TRIUMPH 
Ira  Vincent,  Algonn,  la.,  an  average  pro¬ 
gressive  fanner,  grew  by  the  Tower  System 
the  past  season  a  well-matured  corn  crop, 
from  which  he  sold  over  200  bushel*  of 
Sved  Com  at  an  average  price  of  $6.25  per 
bushel  (sold  to  his  neighbors  who  had 
used  "shovel  cultivators.’*) 
This  endorses  the  Tower  way  for  a  WCt 
season,  as  well  as  dry  weather. 
Avoid  imitations;  Bee  that  your  cultivator 
has  the  name  "TOWER’’  on  the  tongue.
