Out of this has come the conclusion that only a farmer’s co-operative creamery has a chance of success in ‘{thé south. Private capital in the cream ery'lbus‘iness fails every time south of the Dixie line.: To organize a co-operative cream ery, the following plan has been found best by those who have made successful attempts at creamery ma nipulation: | A business men’s club is formed, ‘which elects a president, secretary and treasurer, these three officials ¥ forming the executive board. ~ The | board’s first duty is to make a canvass of the county and suround ing district for statistics regarding the nur’nb_er of good milk cows that would be a\y'ailable for the creamery, and at the same time ascertaining justehow! many farmers would obligate their cows through a yearly contract to the creamery and how many cows would thus be secured. Six hundred should be the lowest number obligated. - © Most creameries, like capning fac tories, fail through an inability to se- | cure a large enough product supply each day—that is, a sufficient quantity of milk. The second duty of the board would be to call a farmers’ educational meet ing and have some creamery expert and also a farm development man to come on that day and talk, .to the farmers on the creamery plang, dem onstrating ,t_lie~ great value. financially a creamery would be_to the farming class and also speaking on proper methods of mixing cattle feed. The Important Step, The next move to make will be the all-important one: Setting the date for the creamery to actually opén. Un il this is done the farmers will never 'begin to prepare for it. When this is done, however, they will begin sav- | ing their yearlings instead of butch ering or selling them, off; they wiul begin purchasing fine cows, which can only be done, gradually by many (a‘ creamery makes ﬁ'ney cows desirable since milk is purchased per pound butter fat, and not by the gallon). The farmers will begin planting velvet beans and cow peas for feed stuffs, and start laying our bermuda grass pasturés, (each cow should have ten acres of this for the year). Some farmers will want to build silos—the south needs them badly—and manyl will ned milking rooms. Creamery milk l that is taken from the cow in a fiilthy ; compartment will never pass the bac teria test of Savannah and ATiATtaT The Cattle Tick. Then, too, the cattle tick fight mustl be gotten well in hand. A ticky cow gives a quart of milk a day less than a tick free animal. A large percent age of the fine-bred cows brought from the north and west into a tick infested country die. Many of the fine cows imported into the country surrounding Moultrie were killed by 'the ticks. ' It is therefore well to set the date : e B ® /«" 8 T o //-‘ ﬂf o ® heh g, e . ie o ; *‘9‘.&# : N 2 '6;/_-!.&, // B e ‘&4 _%‘?

Circular letters should be gotten up by someone who understands cream ery organization business and mailed to the farmers every week or two during these six months, stating ex actly the methods of creamery oper ation ‘and the cream requirements. The Eatonton creamery has had much trouble with bacteria, and several times the cream from this creamery has been turned down in the cities on aceount of bhacteria, notwithstanding they have an up-to-date pasteurizer which brings the milk to an extreme heat and then to a frigid state, thus killing out much of the germ matter oradirt.! The Loan Soclety. Another important factor that has been found necessary to every south ern creamery is the formation of a farmer’s loan society to lend the farm ers money on low rates of interest to buy cows with and also for the purchase of separators, unless the creamery company buys the separa tors and sells them to the farmer. A good separator costs about seventy five dollars. This money is paid back at the rate of $3 a cow per month. The merchants of a town profit greatly from a creamery since it breeds prosperity among the farming class. The average creamery, if suc cessful, pays the farmers about $50,- 000 -annually for milk, while the ac tual profits, direct and indirect, from dairying for the creamery are about $200,000 a, year, accor’dix}g to expe rienced authorities. ~ Free Work. ; There must be -a, great deal of “charity” work in the organization and maintenance of a creamery, Well known business men mu.'st give their time and loan of their money to the affairs, and some prominent, influen tial citizen must back the creamery with his attention from the start to the last. ¢ i i 1 It means work for somebody, but also_a greater Cordele, a more pros perous Crisp county and a still better backbone in the country. When you get the creamery, then you can get German and Belgian farmers to come and not until them. This class of farmers will not move into a com munity that has not a creamery, and many of them also demand a meat curing plant, which could be built for about twice the cost of a creamery. Organize the Farmers. Before the date for the creamery opening is set, however, the farmers reafiéry rssodiation must be organ ized, the members and officials com prising only the actual stockholders and the owners of cows supporting the creamery with cream. This asso ciation elects a president, vice presi dent, and secretary-treasurer. The seceriary-treasurer is often the book keeper at the creamery, and is also assistant manager. The manager is generally the chemist who tests the pbacteria and butter fat and runs the machinery; or the bookkeeper can be manager and the chemist his ‘assist(} desired. —-_/‘“ It is not necessary iur the associa tion to. purchase or erect their own building; they can remodel some building suitable for use. Also, it is unnecessary for the creamery to have its own refrigeration or ice-making machinery; in fact, one Georgia creamery found it more profitable to buy its ice rather than manufacture it. Creamery failures used to be a com mon thing. But seyeral years back, colleges in New York state instituted a course for creamery chemist-mana gers, and since then, under, the guid ance of these trained experts, cream eries have had a much better chance at success. i Determining Factors. The point T wish to make principal ly is: drive with all force toward set ting a date for the creamery’s open ing—the most practical date, after all things have been considered—and get busy with the country side. For until the farmer is very certain of the creamery's opening at a certain defi nite date, he will never move one step in the direction of necessary pre paration, without which the section can never be a reliable support to the creamery. “BUFFALO BILL” IS TOLD HE IS DYING Denver, Colo., Jan. 9.—C01. Wm. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) is dying in Den ver tonight, facing death in the same manner that he has faced it many times on the plains in the west in con flicts that. made his name famous. The colonel heard of the approach of the end of his life today from Dr. J. H. East, his friends. He had sum moned the pyhsician to the home of his sister, where he is spending his last hour. Col. Cody said: “Doctor, what are my chances?” There is a time, colonel, said Dr East, “when every honest physician must commend his patient to a higher power.” “Hol long?” Col. Cody simply ask- “I can answer that,” said the phy sician, “only by telling you your life is like an hour-glass. The sand is slipping; the end is not far away.” Col. Cody turned to his sister, Mrs. May Decker. “May,” said he, “let the Elks and Masons take charge of the funeral.” Then the man who made history in the west when it was young began method ically to arrange his affairs. Dr. East tonight said death would come within thirty-six hours. Hundreds of telegrams of sympathy from men of prominence all over the country came today. Many boys from different parts of the United States wrote to him. ' “Won't you pelase send me the story of your life and all your pictures, so I can be a scout like Buffalo Bill?” cne of the youngsters wrote. The let ter was taken to Col. Cody. “He is a typical American youth,” said the colonel, as his face lighted with a smile of happiness. Some women marry for love, some for money and some just out of pure cussedness.

C. Vereen, of Moultrie, widely known financier and president of the Georgia Shippers Association, are especially urg~! to attend the meeting. Illustrations of how higher rates would not only effect the shippers an(11 business interests of the state, buti individuals as well, will be set forth by rate experts, who will address the‘ gathering. Estimates made by trans portation officials show tlat every is terest in the state would be hampered to some extent. I"armers would have to pay Georgia railroads $BOO,OOO more every year for fertilizer alone, under the new scale of rates. These figures are consider ed accurate and come from the state department of agriculture. : Figures compiled by the isterestate commerce commission, show that rail roads of the south last year received approximately $3,500 per mile on ev ery foot of their roa‘. Patents have been granted to a Maryland inventor for a gasoline car tridge for breaking up taz‘sg_ﬁ soil in the same way dynamite is uSed. “Gentlemen,” he said,“He is perfect. Qual ity does tell.
