THE PROPOSED ChEAhEh1s
Considerable interest has been awakened
in this section in reference to a creamery, aud
efforts are being made with fair prospect Of
success. meeting Of our citizens was held
ct village hall on the 18th inst, at which II.
G.. Porter was appointed chairman aud p. +.
Crown, secretary. A committee of five. con-
sisting of G. G. Boyd, o. L. Chase, A. j.
Faulkner f. II. Putuam and c. s. Goodnow,
was appointed to canvass for taking stock aud
obtaining pledges for milk from the number
of cows. At an adjourned meeting held on
the 231 inst, X. q. Wilcox and W. A. Brown
were added to the committee previously APP
pointed. The stock is divided into 80 shares,
and the committee already report stock taken
to the amount of $500 and milk pledged from
$50 cows. The amount OF money requisite
to establish the creamery is $1,000. The CON-
mittee are active, the stock is fast being tax
en- and no doubt will be a good investment
Existing circumstances seem to require the es
tablishment of q creamery. 1t is an apparent
demand Of the farming interests that can be
met 10 no other way. Creamery butter of
uniform excellence is demanded in market
Butter heretofore made at the various farm
houses has, much Of it, been passable in mar
ket but the establishment of cresmeries has
raised the standard Of excellence, and the but
ter now made by the best of house wives is
becoming a drug in the market. Without
cresmeries dairylng interests must decline If
not go down. This appears to be favorable
location for q creamery there is quite an ex-
tensive region around that would be we'll &C
commodated and 1t is hoped that the efforts
being made will be a success and add much to
the dsiryinR interests in this section There
will be meeting at village hall next Saturday
evening of those interested in the matter :;
there will be a full report Of what has been
| done, and it is hoped that there will be gem
eral attendance and all necessary arrange
| ments made for advancing the business.
