Abstract

No bulletins have heretofore been issued by the Dairy department of this Station on the special question of the manufacture of dairy products. The main work of the Dairy department has been with the farm end of the dairy problem; viz: the production of milk. This includes the breeding, feeding and management of cows, the raising and developing of the young stock, and the economic disposal of the by-products of the dairy. From information gathered during my first year at the College it was apparent that this foundation work should have first attention. At this time but six to eight factories were in operation in the State and most of these handled but a small amount of milk. Some farm dairying was carried on, but the butter that came to market was not such as to encourage a large trade, either from within or without the State; much of the best trade was supplied from outside the State. Again the natural conditions, first in regard to the production of a fine quality of milk, then economy of production, and finally the market, were all that could be asked for.
