The Creamery Business.

The advantages of the cooper

daily becoming more apparent. In

has been tried, on right principles,

benefit of the farmer in giving in.

product. and in the enhanced
value Of farm land on account of
increasing It's fertility and pro-
ducUyenesS 10y stock keeping. The
removal of much hard labor from
the shoulders of the housewife is
one great advantage OF the system
and one too often under estimated.
II the farmer could ct no more per
pound for his butter by selling
his cream to the creamery, the
saying Of labor indoors Is a
weishty argument in favor of his
patronizing the creamery. a writer
in the Western RTdl adds testi-
mony on this point, by saying that
he esteems the factory as a great
blessing to the OverwOrked wo-
men Of our farms, taking them as
whole. The cream gathering
system is the means ut greatly
blessing our wives, mothers and
sisters. One man wrote us some
time since that he had given up
dairyiug, because Of the burden 1t
imposed upon his wife, and was
selling bag. Well, that Is a bad
plan. Secure the establishment of
factory in the neighbOrhoOd, aud
