LG \ "G LA’K,‘ @QQQ The co-operative plan of providing fresh meat on the farms during the summer known as Beef Rings and inâ€" troduced a few years ago, in South Verulam, is spreading through the dis- trict as its advantages become known. Twenty farmers form a Ring, each one undertaking to provide a young beef in first-class condition, weighing ahcut 400 lbs. This gives each member of the Ring about 20 lbs. of good meat each week for twenty weeks. The an- imal is cut into twenty pieces accord- ing to a chart, and each member of the ring gets the 20 pieces in rota- tion. At the beginning of the season each member gets his date for pro- viding his animal, and lots are drawn 1 -â€"â€"A â€"-.'4'In PAGE PROVE CONVENIENT AND PROFITABLE.â€"â€"OTHER SECTIONS MAY LEARN THE LESSONâ€"OT HER NEWS NOTES FROM Vlulng 1113 611111101, uuu .v... .._v for the number of pieces to start with. A butcher is appointed who does the killing and cutting, _each member of the Ring has two bags for the meat, and the butcher bags the pieces, lab- els them, and hangs them on individ- ual hooks so that the member calls and takes his allowance off the hook and hangs up the empty. The plan has been found to work splendidly. This year there were two Rings on the north side, and Robt. Britton was butcher for both Rings. For the first quVAALA Av- ~v ,_‘ six animals 7c 8. pound is allowed. they require more stall feeding, and for the last fourteen 6c is allowed. Each number is credited with the weight of his animal, and charged with the amount he receives, and the slight differences are adjusted at the end of the season. The following were Dairy Instructor‘s Report For the Lindsay District FULL TEXT OF REPORT OF DAIRY INSTRUCTOR FOR THIS DIS- TRICT â€"- UNSATISFACTORY DISPOSAL OF WHEY. The following is the report in full of Dairy Inspector Cameron as present- ed at the annual meeting of the EasJ tern Ontario Dairymen‘s Association: The season of 1908 just closed has been rather short. The majority of factories in my district did not start until about the last of May, some not until June. Owing to the scarcity of milk, several closed before the end of October. Thus the season was brought down to about five months. I had four factories less in my group than last year, as a few of the smaller ones were not in operation. The total num- ber of factories visited was 31, day visits 40, call visits, 162. Patrons vis- ited, 79, total number of cows furnish- ing milk to factories 11,829; average test of milk, 3.7; average loss in whey .24, number of tests for adulteration, 1790; number of samples found defi- cient in fat, 1; fermentation tests made, 47. .â€" A-:“‘nr‘ The cause of over-ripe or tainted samples was, in most cases due toin- sufficient care of milk. Comparisons made between tests from milk care- fully cooled and cared for and milk handled in the ordinary careless way showed results greatly in favor of the cooled samples. _This was particular- ,M- -1- I...“ UUlcu canny“...- _ __ 1y noticeable durin the extremely hot weather. ‘ When I cannot report much im~ provement in regard to the general quality of the milk received, still, tak- ing into consideration the extreme hot weather that we had to contend with as compared with ordinary seasons, it appears that the producers made more effort to furnish milk in better condi- tion than heretofore.

This is evi- dence that we need better means of controlling temeprature, both at om milk stands and in our curing rooms. IAAaAu v â€"â€"__ __.. By way of recommendation. I would advise that some effort be made to furnish milk earlier in the season and continue the season for a longer period. We need better factory build- ings in some cases and a general im- provement as regards controlling the temperature of curing rooms. The question is asked, why did it take more milk to make a pound of cheese in July than it did in June, the milk being richer in July ? The answer is, simply because the milk was not re- ceived in as good condition in the hot weather and there was also a greater shrinkage from the cheese on the shelves. By controlling and maintain- ing favorable temperatures, both at the farm and at the factory, these losses would be largely overcome. Unsatisfactory Disposal of Whey. I would also like to see some im provement in the disposal of the whey. The system of returning whey in the cans is, to say the least, a dangerous one. It should never be practised uno less the whey tanks are kept quite clean and the whey pasteurized. There are a great many odd whey tanks that to keep clean would be an impossibil‘ ity. Although pasteurizing is an extra expense, it would be a benefit and, I beliege, is the best thing to do if we must have the whey returned in the can-â€" I Walla advise in this Lindsay sec- tion the adoption of the method and rule practised by our Peterboro neigh- bors of not allowing whey to be re- turned in the milk cans.r_This rule has done much to place the reputa- tion of Peterboro cheese where it is to-day. Surely if the Peterboro milk producers have found it profitable, it is at least worth a trial for our sec- Andy Gillis iAs DIV“. I make these recommendations hon- estly and sincerely, believing they would benefit the cheese industry of the Lindsay section. I trust you will see fit to give them careful considera- tion at your annual factory meetings. When the difference in the cost of heroinâ€"$3 Vifis' taken into consideration, I believe‘it will pay to sell the whey at the factoryâ€"D. J.

CONVENIENCE AND A HEALII'II'Ub, "n. _ LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE LITTLE-KNOWN NORTHERN PART OF THE RIDING.â€"A VIS|T TO THE VICIN- ITY OF DARTMOOR. Mrs. E. E. Sharpe, one of the focal officers of the Ontario Department for Neglected and Dependent Children. -vvciv v has just returned home from a trip through the north country. For the country an dthe people up in that northern world Mrs. Sharpe has noth- ing but the highest words of praise. and commendation. One section of Dalton township made Mrs. Sharpe particularly enthusiastic, and she is of opinion that a visit up therei would disabuse the minds of a lot of} people as to the country and the life‘ led by the people th‘efi. On every hand she saw comforts and evidence of up-to-date and progressive methods among .the farmers and the citizens in general. A Fine School. At Dartmoor, there is one of the finest rural schools in the riding. The, structure is modern in every respect i' and specially well equipped and furn- ;. ished. The building is of white brick. well-finished, and with a large base-I ment constructed of white limestone. A Beautiful Country. The magnificent scenery, the beau- tiful landscapes, antL the charmingl scenes of rural beauty throughout the country impressed Mrs. Sharpe during, her visit. It was when she reachedg the vicinity of Dartmoor, however. that she began to be most deeply in~ terested in the country and the peo- ple. Mrs. Sharpe had concluded her business, and on her return stopped: at the home of Mr. Robt. Fleming} Here she found surprises by the ; Here she found surprises by the. score. She found a farm conducted' on the most approved modern plans: of agriculture, with buildings and appliances that would be a credit to the most up-tOodate farmer in On-E tario. She found comforts and con-. veniences and the many pleasing evi- dences of the means of pleasure. which go to make life really enjoy- able. And, best of all, she found that ready and kindly hospitality for which the good people of the north are so. well known. Mr. Fleming's Fine Farm. i The fine farm of Mr. Robt. Fleming is located on the third concession of Dalton, about four miles from Sen bright ,and with Dartmoor as the? most convenient post office. Mr. Flem- ing has a comfortable residence, well fitted up‘, and with all the comforts that a home could have. A Magnificent Barn. The barn on the place is one of the largest and finest possible. A big windmill of latest pattern does ex- cellent service in connection. Inside. the barn is fitted up on a thoroughly modern plan and with the latest con- veniences. By means of a-large tank above, water is supplied to each de- partment of the barn by means of conveniently located pipes and taps. The improved methods for filling mangers and supplying feed to the cattle is also a noteworthy feature. Big Apples. Mr. Fleming has a magnificent orch- ard on the place, and some of the fruit grown is certainly worthy of mention. Mrs. Sharpe brought back with her about a dozen of the finest looking apples that could be desired. Of these the smallest weighed 17 ounc- es and was a sound healthy-looking monster. Other larger ones of the same varietyâ€"the Wolf River Appleâ€" are proofs of the possiblities of the North Country. 3 l l E I z Until recently Mr. Fleming had one of the largest herds of Polled Angus cattle in the country. Lately, how- ever, he has sold some of these high- class animals to other breeders throughout the country. He still has, “Scotty” Campbell Killed Last Week at Orillia Mr. S.

Amid healthful and ever pleasant surround- ings work has a charm of its own, and the continued round of pleasures. such as hunting, fishing, canoeing. and kodacking, made a happy life, and one that a king might envy. What town man can think of the prospect outlined without envying the citizens of the north their care~lree life of health and happiness? There are dozens an ddozens of other con- tented and prosperous citizens of the northern part of this riding, and as. suredly there are many of the South- eners who should visit the good coun- try behind us. and they would speed- ily char matters.
