rur rrrGrsoN MANUFACTURING COMPANY
AND THE RUREAU CREAMERY AND REfRid-
ORATOR.
An enterprise has been inaugurated IN
Burlington during the past year which prom
ises To become one of our most thriving Ill
! dustries. In 1876 Mr.. J. +. Ferguson pa
tented his Bureau Creamery. This Is an up
rirht bureau with receptacle in the upper
part for ice, below which are shelves mold
ip,r LARGO mans. each intended to hold one
milking of IA dairy Below the pans IL re-
! ccntacle for cream and butter; and there Is
an arrangement for warming the AR IN the
bureau, in cold weather, by means OF can
of hot water The pans are on rollers and
are easily drawn out con movable rests |" DC
| skinned and emptied. Glass doors permit
inspection of the contents without opening
them. and ventiators secure a change OF AR
without admitting flies or dust, While other
inventions secure cool place for milk IN
Summer. this invention secures UNIFORM
Temperature Summer and Winter, which is
easily guaged at the point which gives the
greatest amount of cream, in the best condl-
ton for making the best butter. The lnVth-
ton gaining immediate favor, as an appli'a-
ton of sound common sense 10 the sr'iihS
of milk. and proving remarkably successful
in use among the dairymen, company WAS
recently organized for its extensive manu-
facture and introduction. The title OF the
concern is the Ferguson Manufacturing Com
pany. of which J. F. Ferguson is president
Edward Wells of the widely known firm OF
Wells, Richardson X Co, treasurer and n
Il. Cogswcl. secretary. Their factory is al
present on Champlain street, between Col-
lcrc and Bank streets, but il is probable that
they will he obliged to move to more eXten-
sivc quarters before long.
THE BUREAU CREAMERY
is made in six sizes. for dairies of from five
to twenty cows Its advaniages are uniform
temperature. perfect circulation OF air, III
creased production of butter, improved
quality of butter remarkable saving OF
labor These qualities are daily shown in
that by no other system can the milk OF
either Il small or Il large number of cows be
cared for with so little labor; and we are
told that the milk of dairy of twenty cows
was entirely cared for in bureau last year
by girl of only thirteen years, As ion
results. a Chittenden county farmer has
recently made test. weighing carefully his
milk and butter; and he finds that for every
five cows he makes an increase of ten ounces
of butter day and that at the high prices
he secures for his gilt-edged butter, his
bureau will more than pay for itself this
season. In these days of low prices for
dairy products, the salvation of our dairies
is in the use of the best apparatus; and one
which. with large saving of labor, adds
from three to five cents pound to the price
brought for the butter, is certainly worth the
attention of all dairymen. Ample testimony
that the Bureau Creamery will do this Is
supplied by the manufacturers. The com
pany has recently commenced making
form of Mr. Fergusons invention, which is
apparently destined 10 become exceedingly
popular. This is the
FAMILY CREAMERY AND REFRIGERATOR.
This is combination of milk closet and
refrigerator made in two or three sizes Tor
the USE of families keeping from one to three
cows 1t is of smaller dimensions than the
bureau is made with double walls with air

top either two or three shelves for milk

he kept cool. This is just the thing which
many housckecper has been wanting in
order 10 keep her milk sweet and butter and
cream in the best order, and in many fami-
lies no other refrigerator will he needed. 1t
is used 10y some of or citizens, who like II
much, and orders arel on file for a number
more for others who want them, as soon rs
they can be made.
The company is now employing twelve
hands in the manufacture of the bureaus and
refrigerators and, as we have intimated, it
will undoubtedly soon have TO increase its
force and facilities for the manufacture. Some
SeceHty, flee bureau creameries have been sent
out this season, including shipments to Mary
land, Georgia and Alabama. and the esiab
lshmcnt is running on full orders The
officers of the company are men of wide
business experience and sound judgment
and We doubt not that their enterprise will
