OUR CREAMERY AND EGGRY.

OUR CREAMERY AND EGGRY.
Stevens, of the Shakopee Courier
came down to Worthlngton recently to
look up and write up the hub of South
western Minnesota, and this is what he
says of our Creamery and our Eggry:
Since writing the above we had oc-
casion to 60 to Worthington, and while
there visited the creamery of Shell &
Torrance. Mr.. Shell, the proprietor OF
the Worthingten House, drove US out
to the establishment, along the fine
drive around the verge of Okabena lake,
near the bank Of which the works are
situated, about three q uarterS of mile
from town. Here we found Il substan-
tial building fitted up with all neces-
sary apparatus to do business enfs large
scale. The business was started last
year and continued till winter set in
when it was clos ed, and has just been
epened again for the season. In the
main room are situated two vatS capa-
bic of holding 800 gallons of cream each;
one 15O gallon clurn, and one ef 300
gallons. Steam power is used, 4 small
sized engine answering the purpose
fully. A refrigerator room and ice box
contains the packed butter, which is
shipped in 10000 To. lots to New York
or other favorable points. Last season
they shipped east, getting all the way
from 22c to 3Oc per fb., III half.car load
lots; the latter price being paid in the
fall. They did business last year of 500
Tbs. a day, but this season expect to
make it a l. 200 TBS. daily. Thirty gallon
cans, or tanks which are better, are
used to collect the cream from the
farmers, who for a distance of II miles
contribute thereto, seven teams being
used in the business; the price paid be-
ing ii cents and upwards to the inch of
4 graduated can which the farmer has,
which is All estimate Of ii cents to a
pound Of butter-a better price than is
averaged where sold by farmers to mer-
chants, particularly 10 the summer
season when the average butter will
sell from l2c to l3c only. Besides this
advantage in selling to the creamery,
it is an inducement to raise more COWS.
Shell thinks will be double that of last
season.
Another matter of Importance, we
took in while in Worthingt ton, was an
Egg House. Last fall II. L. Mitchell
& Co., of Central New York. came to
Warrington and began the erection of
an egg packing establishment, and are
now fairly ageing. We dropped in there
Monday morning and found Ourself
amid 4 huge surrounding Of eggs
Eight watts holding 10000 doz in all
are in process of erection, several of
| which are already filled with eggs in
pickle. These will be kept till winter
or late fall then shipped eastward or
wherever it will pay the best. The price
paid for eggs is as much and often Il
little more than can he got from other
points. AS a result Of this liberal deal
ing. the orthington Eggry, so we may
properly term it. is in daily receipt of
eggs from all sides up to a hundred
miles away. One firm in MadeIia. SO
miles off. arc shipping so cases, or l 500
dozen week. These eggs are carefully
picked over in the eggry. the unsound
or unfresh ones being pulled; cracked
eggs not otherwise damaged being sold
at reduced prices in town. When we
saw 10000 eggs in a vat, we were some
what curious to know how they got
them out to pack, but Mitchell showed
us how he could jam down 4 scoop
among them and take out dozens of
dozens without jamm;ng ore. with as
little fear of breaking as if they had
been china ones; and every man to his
trade seemed II most proper saying
| again. Mr.. Mitchell informed us the
eggs out here were larger and much
better looking than they were East.
