GAINESVILLE CREAMERY.
Attention. Farmers.

is now organizing for cooperation
with the farmers in butter making on
the improved Fairlaalb system, the
organization chartered and a directory
elected, consisting Of tho following
names: NJ. w. Elder, IL. G. Merritt,
w. M. Daniel, w. P. Johnson. S. b
Seat M. W. Elder, President; X. led
better, Secretary; A. Howell, Treas
urer; M. V. Ingram, Superintendent.
A lot at the junction of Commerce
street and the L. & Y. Il. r., near the
passenger depot, has been purchased,
on which suitable buildings are now
being erected and furnished with i'm
proved machinery and appliances for
the manufacture of the best quality of
creamery butter. The prime object
of the enterprise is to confer vast ben
efits upon its patrons by diversifying
agricultural pursuits and falling into
the new and progressive methods
which have so greatly blessed the far
mers of the Western States and
brought general prosperity to- that
section. To succeed at once in this
cooperation of the farmer and the
company must have the hearty sup
port of the stock breeder and would
be glad to have every farmer in the
county and those of adjoining counties
along the railroads and within cir
Gle of % miles to become it's patrons.
The next step is to organize the
cream gathering system, by forming
circuits or routes from house to house
"a days drive for the cream gather
ing wagons. In order that routes may
be formed TO advantage and the organ
ization promptly. effected, ready to
begin as soon rs the factory is ready, it
is important that every person desir-
ing to sell cream should notify the su-
perintendent ut once by letter, postal
card or otherwise, stating the number
81 cows on the place, distance from
the city, distance from and name of
your postoffice and the nearest public
road. Two or more neighbors may
make up such statement together
md forward same to superintendent or
with him at the office.
When this is done the superintendent
will visit each house, teaching every
,ne the improved system of raising
cream and organize the routes.
The price to be paid for cream is not
ret settled, but will be governed by
he value of creamery butter in the
eading markets-New York, New
orleans, Cincinnati, Louisville, At
anita, etc. During the summer season
he price OF cream generally ranges
rom eighteen to twenty-five ceuts per
auge; fall and winter, from twenty
We to thirty-two cents per gauge. A
auge of cream is one inch on the
an and is plainly registered by glass
j the side of the can with the marks
bunting the eigth part of an inch, SO

Yill make one pound of butter, and
m to twelve quarts of good milk will
lise an inch of cream. The cream
atherer will visit each house in the
'ute every day and skim the milk,
wing the owner a ticket showing the
achonal part of a gauge, and the
ckets will be presented monthly at
Re office for payment in cash. The

e Fairlamb can will raise ten per

ny; and there is no labor attached TO
but to strain and set the milk, see it
