Results Of the ]Vorthingt0n aud Adrian
Creameries-Good Prospects this gear
Increase IN Co,rs, Calres. etc.--1he
Dairy Paradise.
AS announced last week, Messrs.
Shell & Torrance started their Worth
ington creamery Oh Wednesday of last
week. They start with five wagons, sr
cream gatherers, and will increase as
needed. Run at full capacity, their
creamery will produce !, 500 pounds of
butter a day. They hope to secure this
season the milk from 500 to 1000 cows.
The creamery this year is il charge
of John Ladieu, assisted 10y Peter Tai
bot, both of Rochester. The gatl,erers
1T present are ThSs. Mills, l.. g. Oliver
and son, Jamie Durfee and one OF F.

Last year, we learn, was not Il nay.
ing year fol the propretors, as the
business had to be introduced and
worked up among the farmers. Tie
results. however. were satisfactory to
both farmers and creamery. The effect
has been marked III the increase of
cows, calves, hogs and prices, and the
dairy business has received an impulse
which will make it Il lasting success
and ultimately make this one of tie
richest portions Of the west. Those
who are best informed upon the sub
jtct, assure us that there has been an
increase Of from ohe-t'lirl to one-!lalf
in the number Of COWS, an increase of
one-half in the number of calves, and !,
large increase in the number of hogs
The increase in the price of COWS and
calves is one Of the most striking
effects. Last year ut this time cows
could be bought for so and 500 while
now they readily command $50 and $335.
Calves heretofore could be had for 81

The general effect has been to turn
the attention Of farmers from grain to
stock and the final result " ill be i,
wealthy class of farmers with i Steady
income the year round. instead of Ill,

to each decade.
TIE ADRIAN CREAMERY.
Senator \. NJ. Crosby, proprietor OF
the Adrian creamery. WAS in town a
few days az" and gave us seme inter-
estin. facts from his Experience. This
creamery also began operations last

the farmers. Neatly all its patrons are
well satisfied with tie results, AID re.
port an income Of about $50 from eacI,
COW, besides the calves. Last year tie
creamery used the ailk of abnut eco
COWS and this season there is Il prospect
of about 1.GO0. The capacity Of the
creamery is al'out ECO pounds day.
The price paid for cream is about the
same us that paid by the Wortlngtcl,

The Adrian creamery started up
