II is said that the Legislature will be asked
TO make an appropriation of $500 annually,
for the promotion of dairying in this State,
the plan being to establish dairy schools sim
liar TO those in sweden and other European
countries, the Appropriation to be placed III
the hands of a dairy commissioner appointed
tor the purpose or under the direction OF the
board of sgricul Lure, as may be deemed best.
There are already facilities and appliances for
ONE sucn school AT the State College farm,
and It ia understood that the trustees Will
take the necessary steps forthwith to intro
luce il in connection With dairy work at that
Institution.
The Clinton creamery is one of the best
arranged and best flushed and furnished
structures of the kind in the State. II Is
also kept scrupulously clean and neat
throughout and consumers of the butter may
rest assured that no dairymaid coull do bet
Ter ia every respect, and cannot tan OF CIV
ing satisfaction to purchasers. The most OF
The make is sold in Portland. Two hundred
pounds day has been the highest make.
The farmers located within reach of this
ere amery will find it to their advantage to
give it larger patronage Clinton is one of
the b, st farming towns IN the State With a
first class factory, and efficient operator, and
plenty of good hay and pasturage, they can
make more money out of dsirying than from
any other business of the farm.
1t is an easy thing for a factory to run
smooth an prosperous and it is "a easy tor
1t to run to the down end. The way TO pros
perify is for every one to do their best and to
keep their tongues still and not run around
and growl and find fault. Occasional tests
n ale hy this man and that one, to show
whether he is getting his full share of butter
credit as to milk ami cream, do not prove
ANYTHING Get as near as possible cows of
the same breed and then fol ow a general
rule in their care and feeding The next
thing is to secure uniformity of conditions
for the handling of their milk, apartments of
u similar character, and apparatus similar for
the raising of the cream.-Ner England

There is nothing connected with the
creamery that could not be advanced by co
operation. 1t is astonishing at how man,
points one creamery Can conflict with another
when a mean spirit of rivalry once springs
up between them, and. unfortunately, it doe.
not take very much to cause this spirit to
spring into life. Now, by proper co-Opera-
ton through an association in which each
one is mutually Interested, many of these
points of conflict could be avoided, while
the business of each and all could be greatly
advanced. especially in making sales and
purchases of supplies that could be bought
ia large quantities and thus considerable
per centage saved. Any number of the
factories that chose could enter into an
agreement TO use a Common salesman or
warehouse, and thus keep up with the best
informed in the market an we'll as saving
commissions and the annoyance of occa-
.ionslly being cheated on, of their returns
