CASH FOR DAIRYMEN.
Improvement in Method of Testing
Cream.
The Nebraska butter market Is,
within 3 cents of the Elgin market,
Instead of within 4 cents, the differen
tial which has ruled for years. Dur
ing the next year this means $250,000
for the Nebraska farmers. The efforts.

mission to get absolutely correct tests
of the butter fat percentages have
brought this nhout.

losses. In the latter one of the Im-
portant items la dishonest, careless or
ncompetent grading by tho local test-
?rs. l.mclency in cream testing iius
shaved the margin 20 per cent, and
his difference now goes to the butter.
fat producer. .
The difference of 1 cent a pound has
proved a formidable item. Duwng
1908, 37,111,000 pounds of butter were
hipped. A difference of 1 cent a
iiound on this means $371,410. A
juarter of a million dollars in in-
reused returns to dairymen Is re
garded as a conservative estimate of
the saving.
Food commissioner Mains has been
working for several months on the
cream testing proposition. The Im
provement in testing methods has
been rapid, and since the beginning
of the term of Governor Shallenber
ger, the system has been entirely re
volutionized. The testing Is now a
science. False grading is punishable

their ability, nnd they lose their per
