PaSSuInpSic.
As successful dairyman f. A. Parks,
Esq, of PaSsumpsic, is entitled to ii place
very near the head. During the year
1885 he kept an average of % cows and
sold 7l13ls pounds of butter for $lS97.l9
or an average of Il few mills less than %
cents pound. There is to be added to
this the butter, cream and cheese made for
his own use, milk for the calves, etc, and
the net result is an average of 500 for
each cow for the year. Last year Judge
Parks sales were over $4,000 and the pre-
amount for 1885 is due to the reduced
price of all farm and dairy products. A
large part of the butter goes to Boston
(where Judge Parks has sold to one Gus
toner for thirteen years. and the rest to
various points in New England.
