MILKMEN GET TOGETHER. 
Creamery and Mu.k Dealer.— Nothing 
of recent years has been so stiongly op¬ 
posed by the over-reaching class of milk 
dealers as the cooperative creamery. They 
have declared war on it and have made 
threats to wipe it out of existence in two 
or three years. Why? Because these co¬ 
operative plants have helped producers to 
handle the surplus at home instead of 
flooding the markets so that dealers, have 
an excuse for over-production prices. They 
are one step toward putting the milk farm¬ 
er on an independent footing, similar to 
that held by other manufacturers. To 
complaints of ruinous prices the dealer has 
always said: “What are you going to do 
about it?” The coSperative creamery has 
done something; hence the dealer is after 
its scalp. 
Preliminary Work.— It is reasoned that 
if single creameries, acting alone, are of 
service, a certain amount of intelligent co¬ 
operation would make each one more valu¬ 
able to its patrons. The Five States Milk 
Producers’ Association has been at work 
for some time with this in view, and about 
100 representatives of cooperative cream¬ 
eries and others Interested in the produc¬ 
tion of milk in the district supplying New 
York and vicinity, met at the Court House, 
Binghamton, N. Y., March 4, to plan for 
completing the organization of an associa¬ 
tion of cooperative creameries. 
WiiAT Is It and What Will It Do?—So 
many organizations for the supposed bene¬ 
fit of farmers have a record of death and 
burial, with financial loss and useless reso¬ 
lutions and rigmarole as gravestones and 
epitaph, that farmers have a right to ask 
that any new one claiming their support 
shall have some good excuse for existence. 
The object is the protection and advance¬ 
ment of the mutual interests of the cream¬ 
eries represented. This is somewhat in¬ 
definite, but perhaps that is one of its 
strong points. To start out with a pro¬ 
gramme of just what is to be accomplish¬ 
ed is like fishing for disappointment. No 
one knows what future problems may come 
up, and perhaps its best work may be done 
in handling questions which have not yet 
come to light. The articles of agieement 
provide that any independent milk pro¬ 
ducers’ company may become a member, 
with consent of the advisory committee, 
on written application, and entitled to one 
vote. Bach member shall pay the propor¬ 
tionate share of expenses on 30 days’ no¬ 
tice, on penalty of $100 fine, but no assess¬ 
ment shall be binding unless at least 40 
creameries join. The $100 clause was 
thought desirable to put a premium on 
membership and add more strength to the 
organization than a mere voluntary ar¬ 
rangement, which could be set aside at 
will without any explanation. The mem¬ 
bership lacks only three or four of the le- 
quired number, and there is every reason 
to believe that within a month at least the 
additional one will be secured, and a pei- 
manent organization effected, as represen¬ 
tatives of several non-member creameries 
spoke favora'bly of the matter and thought 
that their companies would join soon. One 
great service which this society can len¬ 
der the members will be the distribution 
of milk news and statistics, as is done by 
the New York State Fruit Growers’ Asso¬ 
ciation. Just what are the producers of a 
certain section netting? Where is the 
milk going? What are cows worth, and 
how are they looking? What grain is be¬ 
ing fed, and what does it cost? What ^re 
the dealers doing? Answers to these and 
similar questions during the year would 
be of genuine service to members and make 
an inducement for others to join. The 
present officers are: President, D. C. Mark¬ 
ham; vice-president, R. S. Searls; secre¬ 
tary, William Hunt; treasurer, O. G. Saw- 
dey. Advisory committee, William M. 
Peck, B. A. Capron, Ira L. Snell, O. P. 
More, and J. W. Ross. A committee of 
three was appointed to make constitution 
and by-laws to report at next meeting, 
viz., J. C. Latimer, William M. Peck and 
F. H. Thompson. W. W. H. 
Organizing a Butter Company. 
Being one of a committee to organize or 
perfect plans for the building and oper¬ 
ating of a cheese and butter factory in 
this neighborhood, I wish to get the plans 
and views of as many as possible. We in¬ 
tend to organize a Grange here, therefore 
wish to build a factory with a hall for 
Grange use, also to accommodate a family. 
Tools are desired for both cheese and but¬ 
ter making. The building is not to exceed 
$500 in cost, and have a capacity of 200 cows 
or more. I would like plans of a suitable 
building, and for organizing and oper¬ 
ating same. a. l. g. 
Smethport, Pa. 
You have in mind a very commendable 
enterprise. Organize the Grange at 
once; if you do nothing more, your every 
effort will have been wisely expended. 
I do not think you will be satisfied with 
» building costing $500 that will furnish 
a Grange hall, living rooms and a but¬ 
ter and cheese factory; $1,000 would 
more nearly approximate the amount 
necessary for such a building, and then 
it would have to be cheaply built. Ii 
would require a building 30x75 feet, two 
stories high, using the upper story for a 
hall and living rooms. While it may be 
possible to build a building for $1,000 
whether it will be the wise thing to do 
I am not sure; my experience is that 
a cheap make-shift is rarely satisfac¬ 
tory. The lower story could be divided 
about one-half for a manufacturing 
room and the other half a cheese-curing 
room. A cement floor should be used 
over the whole lower surface. The 
boiler room may be a lean-to or one cor¬ 
ner of the manufacturing room may be 
divided or partitioned. The curing room 
should be built with one air chamber, 
and two would be preferable in order to 
maintain a uniform low temperature. If 
painted upon both sides and oiled paper 
used a very good roof will follow the use 
of sheet iron or steel roofing costing 
from 21/4 to 2% cents per square foot. 
An ice house should be built somewhere; 
it will no doubt be more convenient il 
attached to or built as a part of the main 
building. 
I fear the promoters or organizers do 
not fully appreciate the cost of an outfit 
such as the questioner names. A good 
building, including an outfit for manu¬ 
facturing butter and cheese, Grange hall 
and living rooms would cost complete 
not less than $3,000. Better appoint a 
committee of two to visit some nearby 
establishment, and there receive an il¬ 
lustration and experience such as pen 
and ink cannot give. h. e. oook.
