Talking UP a Creamery.

Between forty and fifty persons met in G.
A. r. Hall, yesterday afternoon at o'clock
for the purpose of listening to and discussing
the propositions which Mr.. 4. l.. Bradford
of the Turner Centre Creamery, had to make
relative to the erection of a creamery near
the city of Augusta. Mr.. +. b. Townsend
was chosen chairman. Mr.. Bradford very
briefly and clearly stated his position in re-
gard to the matter. He explained the meth
obs in use at the Turner creamery, over
which he now has charge. 1t would be de-
sirable, he said to have 800 cows to start
with, so situated that in collecting the
cream it would not be necessary to
drive on an average more than
erages three-fourths of a mile to ten cows.
In that creamery which is one of the most
successful in the State and the cost of car
rying on is very low, it costs .035 7-l0 per
pound to make the butter. The number of
cows has steady increased, and Mr.. Brad
ford believed that the same increase would
occur here when once the creamery is start
ed Under the best conditions it requires
eighteen pounds of milk to make one pound
of butter. The farmers averaged abou,
twenty-five cents per pound for their butter
during the past year. The butter made al
+ Turner had been mostly sold to retail deal.

through the hands of commission merchants
/ The cost of building the creamery Mr.. Brad.
ford could not at the moment exactly esti-
mate, but such a building a,
he desired to see built would cost more thar
81 800. The farmer under the plan he pro
posed would have to buy a creamer, the cos
of which for l2 cans would be s44, and tht
same size with s cans, 1886 cash, with little
off for cash. He would also be obliged Il

by setting the milk in pans, and the forme
process would be much cleaner and NOR
convenient The cream is then measured b.
place and is sweet and used for various uses
such as feeding to hogs and calves. Tn
creamery is owned by stockholders, and a
Turner no stockholder has more than $40
invested in the building and the stock i
pretty well distributed among the farmers
which the speaker thought an excellent pla
and one tending to keep up an interest. Tn
speaker didn't think that a creamery shoul
be opened here for the first time before tn
cool weather of fall, as it is requisite to sue
cess that plenty of ice be stored by the fal

seven hundred engineers, the same number
of firemen, and twenty-eight hundred train
men, all thrown directly out of employ
ment.
General Manager Goddard says the amount
of perishable freight on the line, between
California and Chicago, is about eighty five
car loads, nearly all fruit 1t cannot now be
moved and if the strike continues the COM
pany will be liable for the whole amount.
In addition there are over eleven hundred
car loads of merchandise tied up on the va
rious div sions. The officers of the company
will make every effort to find engineers and
tiremen to man the freight and get it to its
destination. The officers believe that traffic
will be resumed in a few days.

ted in regard to the Atchison strike or n0ti-
fled of it beforehand. He knows of no griey-
ances against the company and thinks the ac-
ton of the strikers IS apparently an open
rebellion against the Brotherhood. Arthur
received dispatch today from chairman
Conroe of the grievances committee of the
Santa Fe road, stating that the Brotherhood
men on that road are ont because the Santa
Fe violated their contract with the men of
the brotherhood in carrying Burlington
freight. At first about two Thousand men
sent out, but afterwards about Ave hualreI
returned because they were working on a
portion of the road owned by the Construc-
tion company between Fort Madison and
Kansas City. Chief Arthur ordered Chair
man Conroe to come to Chicago at once.
