The CREAMERY.-We publish below
a couple of circulars which the pro
prietors of the Creamery at this place
Austin Belknap & Son of Boston
- are sending out to the farmers ir
this section. We believe it is for the
best interest of the community to dc
its best to support the creamery. Its
success rests entirely with the far
mers. The proprietors are reliable
men, and we are sure will DO the best
they can to advance their patrons
interests. They are the owners OF
several creameries in New York, and
we understand their method is salts
factory to their patrons there. We
hope every farmer will read the circu.
lars, and give them careful considera-
ton.
BOSTON, November 1886.
To aid the farmers of Hyde Park, VT, and its
vicinity, in forming an opinion as to whether OF
not it is for their interest to have the creamery
through the season, we submit for inspection a
list of the prices paid by for milk this season,
at our creamerieS in the State of New York.
This list will also enable the farmer to Judge of
the merits of our method of doing business.
FOE May Dlllk we paiu cents q nunQreu
pounds; allowing twenty-five pounds of milk to
make pound of butter, we paid for the cream
to make pound of butter eighteen and three
fourthS cents. For June and July the price paid
was 70 cents hundred, which was the equivalent
of seventeen and One-half cents for the cream to
make pound of butter. For August 10 cents a
hundred was paid. which was again eighteen and
threefOurthS cents for the cream. For Septenl-
Der and october the price paid was one dollar 1aI
pounds of milk to make pound of butter, the
farmer got twenty-five and three-tenthS cents for
cream to make pound of butter.
To these prices should be added three cents
pound to cover the cost of salt, tubs, and manu-
featuring.
The market quotations for butter in the trade
centres must cOnditionally control the price of
cream. Sometimes speculation will temporarily
change the relative price of cream and butter.
Respectfully submitted SUBJ ?. Gov
The Champion Creamery will be opened in
Hyde Park, VT, on or about the 10Th day of May,
For the convenience of those who live near the
creamery, who wish to deliver their milk daily
to the creamery, as has been done heretofore. we
propose to continue the system of taking in milk
and of setting it for the cream, and return the
skinned milk: In connection with this system,
we propose to introduce the Fairlamb system of
cream gathering, provided sufficient number of
diaries will pledge their patronage for one year,
to warrant the expense of furnishing team and
cans for carrying on this branch of the business.
One hundred and fifty cows is as small a number
as will warrant trial of the creamgathering
Gated near enough together so that one team can
reach all of them in one day.
We will furnish Fairlamb cans to our patrons
for $500 each, which is the cost price at the
creamery from the manufacturers Said cans
will be put out on trial for two weeks; man will
be sent around for two weeks to give the farmers
instructions in the use of the can. After two
weeks trial it is expected that farmers will be
ready to decide whether or not they wish to own
the cans T Those 1 wishing to buy the cans will
sher intention to purchase them, so that arrange
mentS may be made for deducting the pay for
them from the cream account.
If there are any farmers who do not wish to
buy the cans, we will rent them the cans at ten
cents month; the cans so rented to be returned
to the creamery at the end of the season. in as
good condition as when received, ordinary wear
and tear excepted Cans not kept in good con-
dition, as above described must be paid for at
the close of the season.
We will send man around to the farmers
houses daily. and skim the cream from the milk
of the farmers who are using the Fairlamb cans.
A gauge of cream is supposed to make pound
of butter; starting with this standard of meas
urement we will pay, within one cent pound
(Which is for gathering the cream), as much as
we pay for the cream on the milk at the creamery.
The price of cream must be governed by the
price of butter in the market.
No cream will be taken when cows have been
fed on any kind of brewery grains. 1t will also
be against the rules of this creamery for our col
Letting agent to skim or receive any cream which
has been in any way disturbed, or showing an
improper or indStnct measurement on the cream
gauge. We will consider it favor to have any
patron report TO us IN person any 1aulG he may
find with our collecting agent or of any unfair
on his part.
All parties are requested to use the cans for
setting the milk in every particular as directed
by the printed matter ON each can, and to milk
only in tin pals, in order to secure the best
results
All patrons are bound to these conditions when
they begin selling their cream.
All cream delivered subject to the above con-
dtiOns will be paid for on or about the 25th of
the month after the delivery of the cream.
