Show FOB FOR THE farmers FiR MERS A JL Gr granger Allger gives good advice to his ills fellows fellow how flow to utilize their milk by cheese co operatively EDITOR HERALD 1 I hate have read with witla interest your recommend recommendation atiO JOB to farmers to utilize their advantages of range and stock in dairy produce products and I 1 offer you a few suggestions gest ions and figures which will bring the matter home to almost any of our farmer friends I 1 will just st take atu alone as siness on a small scale suitable for any settlement in cache valley or any other place where range is is handy in the first place two rooms are needed either cither I 1 lumber umber logs or brick will answer one room tn in nin birke ke cheese in and the other 6 to cure in with a small blied fur for box ing etc As regards au an outfit the following are the needed article articie sand all can either here or imported I 1 double lined heating val vat 1 curd strainer with drainer 2000 2 chees cheese knives kni 1000 iby 1 dyphon 0 etrain orand norand scoop 4 hoops p etc 1600 I 1 cheese h e i press 4 screws coz corn I 1 2500 buckets strainer cloth etc 1500 we will say a total of will supply the outfit and one days time with competent hands will put it in working shape and this outfit will work up the daily product of an any number of cows up to head now ow as to the best method of operating the factory I 1 will suggest th that a t it be located in as central a part of f the settlement as possible convenient to a good supply of clear fresh water and that the pope people do their own milking mornin morning and evening and bring their milk to the factory in iw their own cans where it will be weighed and placed in the receiver and receipts be given in pass books to each person perso for the number pounds delivered and the milk of each eveni evening jag and morning milking be made of daily it ought to be out of the wa way v and ready for evening milk again by 4 daily one man or woman with a boy helper can do the work and cure and tend the cheese now having suggested the factory and outfit my next question and the most important one is will it pay I 1 will proceed to give you figures that are reliable and actual results from experience in in the business we will say that you run the factory four months june to september an average cow will during these months give five gallons of milk daily you will need one gallon for domestic use and send read four gallons da daily aye 1 to the factory this for daye will make gallons of milk for each cow in this cou country t where milk is u used sed up fresh and n pure this will produce ibs lbs of full cream cheese worth in this market say IG centa cents per ib making gross income for one cow in four months deduct from this 4 cents per ib lb for making and cost of berin rennets e to etc which fully covers it and we have if the factory is is owned by the farmers them themselves s elves a neat return of for on one good cows mi milk ik during four montil months s and you would not be able to sell the cow for oyer oter 35 to 40 if put to market it the factory be owned by private 1 ate parties and run on shares the fi factory tetory will demand one half the cheese product in that case without any outlay whatever except the cost of cow and the labor ta to deliver milk mil kyou you realize in no 1 cheese for your cows milk for four mouths months figure up yourselves if any crop you raise on your place will pay aa as well and be aa as readily and cheaply got to market no 1 L c cheese properly made is always in demand now I 1 suggest that in almost any settlement 0 of any size there are from to cows whose daily product will bring into the bands hands of its people for circulation the neat sum suni represented in the above figures vis vin for a factory of cows about 1000 per month after deducting all expenses of labor a maturing and marketing or four times what the same amount of capital and labor will do in any crop that I 1 know anything about the art of cheeses making is ono one that requires a close attention to detail and great care in curing and attending while drying and none but young active and intelligent persons dersons should beset be set to learn the easiness Eu business siness A good no 11 1 c cheese heese maker can be hired and brought here from the best factories in the east for about 75 per month or 3 acts per pound by the as piece ece for making and curing and others could then learn the business from him in connect connection tion with the profits of such a system of operative cooperative co dairy business the pigs raised from t the whey etc will add quite a per to the margin of pro profits fits one good pig can be railed raised to pork for every 10 cans of milk worl worked ed and by piping it from the make room to the troughs it is consumed coni umed and turned into pork without additional labor of course this suggestion is only general and can be modified and anderla enlarged ed or altered to suit the wanta wants and circumstances odthe of the different settled settlements ants and the increase be accomplished ed by the of milk can feeding nightly of green luzerne or corn as each block stock owner may decide by bv this plan the man owning 1 and taking the best caro care of his stock will get the best beat ff pay by for labor whilst the neg neglectful will soon find out it dont pay keep poor stock now mr air editor I 1 will close this scribble ribble ec by 67 baying saying that under the present system of each one working up hi his own milk into butter and selling it at the tore store fort for ay 15 cents during those months it takes then 40 lb lbs of milk to produce ono one ib of butter and he realizes 15 cents for that after deducting the labor of making and taking to market it leaves the farmer about 2 cents per gallon for bis his milk but if worked up into cheese under my plan it would bring him 8 cents per gallon there is another feature that suggests itself if iwo two thirds of our milk was worked up into cheese the demand for butter by reducing its production would be double its price and creamery butter would soon sell at fair value if any of the renders reft ders wish any detailed information re gardine nir the methods and means to start an a a enterprise ter terp prise you are at liberty to give them my name and address and I 1 will very cheerfully give all the assistance si stance I 1 can and give it gratis my desire being to help on th the good and B oam much uch needed work in utah viz self sustenance I 1 will also if you think it advisable and the shot worth the game take up the plans for dairies located in the canyons where both butter and cheese can be made at fair profits for the labor and capital invested but enough for the present to in my fellow farmers I 1 present the abl foregoing hoping that some enterprising granger will take the matter up and agitate it in his settlement until an effort is made and if started right success is certain yours GRANGER |
