THE ALMA CREAMERY.
A Short visit to It, and Some Of the Things
We learned and viewed,
a Subject for Farmers and Dairymon To
Investigate.

Yesterday afternoon, nj the invita-
ton of Mr.. James y. Stuttz, we took
look through the new creamery, and
had explained TO us the manner of
making butter by Il new and improved
process The inside of the establish
ment is model of neatness and con-
venence, and. after Investigation, we
Afeel confident that good butter is TO be
1.-THE rule there.
Under the guidance of Mr. Stuttz
and Mr.. Geo. NJ. Hutchinson Of New
York. the gentleman who has been en-
gagged to manage the creamery, we were
shown the machinery and It's various
uses.
The cream is to be gathered 10y car
riers, each one of whom has certain
route to 60 over each day. Farmers
can purchase thrce-gallon cans at : %
each. try the creamery for thirty days
and if they are not satisfied with the
result there is no harm done ami they
have more than their moneys worth in
the can. The cams used are the VIII
= helm, by long odds the best in the mar
ket. Each can has Il glass cream gauge
eight inches long, graduated to inches
and Fights for measuring cream. In
these cans two inches i'm depth are re-
Quired TO make ll3 cubic inches, the aV-
erage amount of cream necessary to
make II pound of butter After the
milk is put in the can il mist be placed
in Il vat of water. thc latter being deep
enough to reach little above the edge
of the cover. The cover is cone snap
ed. one inch larger than the can. and
its construction is such that it forces
all animal and other impure odors from
the milk, thus insurmg pure cream

Roe X Co.. Chicago. and was set mp uu-
der the supervision Of John Nmlmctcr
who came here for that purpose. 1t is
fine looking OF Of machinery and
great results are looked for from it.
The manner of Keeping accounts with
customers is simple and at the same
time permits no mistakes. Each farm
er is supplied with book. the carrier
has one. and one is kept at the cream
cry. In fact, everything about the es-
adjustment seems to have been plan
