STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL

STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.
The tickets are selling well for the costume
festival to be given by the Young Peoples
Missionary Association of the Universalist
church on Thursday evening, and it has been
found necessary to have the Wedding Cere-
mony take place in the church itself instead
of the vestry as advertised, as a great deal
better representation can here be produced of
veritable Japanese wedding. and the large
number of people who have signified their
intention of attending, can find ample accom-
modstions in this large auditorium. The
altar will be covered with japanese decora-
tious and gay Oriental appearance will be
given to the whole affair. The admission to
wedding and strawberry festival only 10 cents
for adults and 10 cents for children under II
years. Strawberries and cream served in
the vestry at a low price. This will make
the best entertainment of the season and all
may be sure of grand time.

which gushes from the bank above will be
brought into the factory. One hundred and
eighty cows have been promised; 295 are
wanted to commence with. It is proposed to
take cream from Sidney, Togus. and radius
of the country for 10 miles around. Vassal-
boro butter makers are noted for the excel
lence of their product, and the factory can
hardly fail to prove a success. meeting of
farmers and others interested will be held at
Riverside on Wednesday to consummare the
the project. Dairymen in Vassalboro are
enthusiastic over the matter. For several
years past the hay crop has been immense,
and by keeping an increased number of cows
an outlet will be afforded for the surplus crop.
DR.. J. w. North and Ira ID. Sturgiss, ESQ.,,
of this city, are interested in the factory and
are aiding in forwarding the enterprise.
They go to Winthrop to-day to witness the
operation of the creamery. now in success
full operation there. This factory pro-
duces from 300 to 400 pounds of
butter a week. The milk is set in
cans 90 inches deep. On the eide of
the can is a section of glass through
which the thickness of the cream can be OBJ
served man with a team drives from
house to house, collecting and measuring the
cream. Each dairyman is allowed quanti-
ty Of butter in proportion to the amount OF
cream he sends to the factory. Cream for the
Winthrop factory is taken from Hallowell, a
distance of i miles. About all the butter is
sold in the Boston market; it meets ready
sale at from 33 to 80 cents pound. Five
cents a pound is charged for manufacturing
and disposng of the butter, which pays for
| the cost of making and handsome dividend
on the stock of the factory. The farmer re-
ceives the remainder, from 27 to 30 cents a
pound There are now five creameries in
the State viz: At Turner, Machias, Gorham,
Skowhegan and Winthrop. 1t is believed that
in the not far distant future they will largely
take the place Of cheese factories.
