A Creamery.
For the SPECTATOR. ]

The subject of a Creamery, with us, is a
new one 1t requires examination and
study. 1t is one well understood North
and West, but like everything else, must
be judiciously managed to make it profita-
Bile, which is the very cream of the whole
scheme OF the farmer, COWS are wanted;
or rather, the farmers must furnish the
milk for the factory. Then look now and
estimate how many more cows can be kept
by each one, and then we will be prepared
to answer more satisfactorily how much
milk can be furnished within given ra-
dius. A good manager will want to know
first, what quantity of milk be can certainly
rely on before he puts up his factory. 1t is
a cooperative business, and its success will
depend much on the fidelity and punctuality
and perseverance of all engaged, from the
COW to the retail market, ali through the
processes. The quality of our milking
stock can be greatly improved, and the
quantity of milk duplicated by proper care.
1t will require time to prepare for this bu-
siness in shaping up the operations of the
farm to take on this new department. Do
not be alarmed at little risk and trouble.
We have that in all occupations. Neigh
bors can combine and seud their milk to
the factory on one cart or small wagon.
With the cans properly labeled and weighed.
Much can be sent by railway from great
distances. We throw this out-a nut to
crack and digest-until something better is
prepared. PROGRESS.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND The inaugu-
ration of Grover Cleveland, twenty-seco d
president of the United States, was mark
ed by all the pomp and circumstance that
could have been desired or imagined. In
def d, in magnitude of the preparations
made for the event; in the number of peo-
pie assembled; IN the profusion and el .bo-
rateness of decorations; in the enthusiasm,
general good feeling and order of the gath
cred thousands; i'll the magnifcence of the
inaugural ball and the brilliancy Of the
pyrotechnic display, it surpassed any like
event in the annals of the national capitol.
So far as may be judged from the very full
report Of the ceremonies, everything COM
bined to make it a day long to be remember
ed, and nothing worthy of note occurred
to mar It's pleasure, and thus the first step
of Mr.. Cleveland in his presidential career
vas taken under the happiess of conditions.
