once put twenty upon his farm when the
creamery becomes assured.
So far a. the plan of this enterprise has
been developed two or three objections
only have been met. They are:
/. A farmer who has little hand Of
COWS. two to four, for instance. and is
making choice butter for private custom
er- in town. says he would like to give up
the business on account of the hard work
which it imposes upon hi. wife TO care for
the cream ami butter in hot weather. and
turn the cream over TO tie creamery: hut
his customers would not like him TO do
so, a. they have had hi butter FOR many
years. and he wants 10 please them. Well,
this i sensible sien 10 take of it. and
the POSITION OF this privat. butter uakeris
one to- be considered. There are MANY FAM
lies Ia town who have been amoug the best
customers. for wears. of these good butter
maker. aud their position is :, mutual one.
( The farmer wants the splendid price and
..clcan cash" which mis- butter brings him
every month. aud the first families
want the gilt-cdged tu Ter which Mr..
Blank has furnished them for thirteen
YEAR.. But this can be easily adjusted.
The farmer can furnish hi- cream TO the
creamery and thus relev" his wife OF the
exactiBg work required in making butter;
and the creamery nanagcr can supply his
/ choice, freshly made butter. uniform in
quality. of high character, and favored
( just a. hi- customers wish. TO the first
I families" who have 20 long had Mr..
4 Blank butter. 1t must he remembered
/ that choice creamery butter commands
/ higher price than ordinary private dairy
butter. and that the former j. supplied to
/ the most faStidious customers in our
cities, aud always to their ac eptance.
( There are no more critical consumers of
/ butter anywhere, than the summer dwell
( ers at our tony Watering place, Bar llar-
! Dor: aud the entire make Of the Turner
Centre Creamery, each summer. goes to
that famous resort will not our own
first families" be completely satisfied
with butter which gratifies the palate of
/ the princes and nahoh> at Bar Iiarbor:
2. Again. This objection has been met i:
A farmer has three or four cows, but
he.won't sign now. to turn them over to
the creamery--he will wait and see if it is
going to he success, and if 20, we'll. he
rather thinks he will Ego in' for it then.
Now the creamery will never be started
in any such way a. this, or any other en-
terprise whatever. Hanging back never
does the work: it is coming up and help
ing at the time needed which makes sue
ce-. of anything. The creamery business
i not an experiment or ii questionable en-
terpri-e which may succeed andNlnay not ;
it has got beyond that point. IT. e>tan-
lishment in this city would be a benefit to
our farmers, our city business, and our
general agriculture. Ii is not wanted
that farmers will say they will wait and
go into it if it proves success, but they
are wanted to come up now. sign to fur
niSh rs many cows a. they can. and make
"A success of il at the start and at once.
3. There Is an objection against putting
the creamery in operation this spring. lee
is necessary for handling cream and ice
ha, not been stored. But by November
cream can lie handled and creamery OPP
Grated without the use of ice. Between now
and then the COWS can be pledg"d.thc plant
put in readiness. all the details perfected.
Then by November the creanery can be
gin work. operate all winter without ice,
and another winter ice can he stored fol
tine wants of the following summer.
1. Well. fourthly, land lastly" The
cost of purchasing the private family
,reaner need not he a serious objection
Many farmers can purchase them at once
and those who do not feel that they ear
afford this OUTLAY at first. can obtain then
OF the creamery manager aud pay foi
them with the cream delivered. aud in i'll
stalmcutS. This should certainly doaWaS
with all objections.
We believe the augusta creamery j. ii
assured thing; aud if Mr., Bradford ron
cluieS not to be dentiii.d with it. we he
icvr our own farmers AMI business mel
will mnlle il local success of their own
