-Alva May Warren, daughter of John
| n. Warren, a well known auctioueer of the
! Fourth district died on Monday last of
cerebro-s pinal-meuingitis aged nine years.
| Her funeral took place on Wednesday after
noon last Rev. T. A. II. O'Brien and VIM.
Kershaw officiating The burial was at
Cherry Hill.
Following the hurglarizing of the hard
ware store of NJ. f. ~ q. L. Kirk, at North
East, last evening two weeks ago the fol-
lowing from the Newark correspondent of
the Erery Erentng Wednesday evening is
| of particular interest to Cecil Countains:
| "The hardware store of FL. b. Wright & Co.,
at this place was entered by burglars early
this morning and $3.50 worth of razors,
knives, etc, stolen. Entrance was effected
| through back window. There is no clue
to the thieves - 1t will be noticed that the
goods taken were of the same kind as stolen
from the North East store, that the entrance
was about the same and that there is no
clue to the thieves. 1t would appear that
skilled burglars are operating in this sec
ton. Elkton may be visited next.
Rev. w. L. S. Murray, presiding elder
of the Wilmington District, wrote as fol-
lows to the last issue of the Peninsula Meth
odiSt: chesapeake City and Manor are well
cared for by their energetic pastor, the Rev.
E. H. Nelson, who Informed his quarterly
confer. nee, that it was his third year, that
he desired to move in the spring. The new
church at Chesapeake, which will soon be
completed, is house of beauty and Joy TO
all interested. The people think or talk of
little else. They have received $500 worth
of encouragement from the Board of Church
Extension and $1,000 from friends in Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and other places,
mainly through the personal solicitation of
the pastor. Sister Nelson, the pastors wife,
and the ladies of the church are doing their
full share. Their supper and bazaar Melted
$3.50. The farmers gave and hauled the
stone for the foundation. The Edgar Allen
Poe Literary Club gave an entertainment,
the proceeds of which were handed over to
the new church. A service has been ar
ranged for Christmas morning, and thirty
have already promised to give at that time
IS each. One brother became so much in
terested in this service that he felt he ought
to give So, but did not see his way to raise
it. He dreamed two or three times that
there was money buried in his cellar. His
impressions became so strong that he dug
thereof and found in silver 81 20. A few OF
the coins were very DID,"
The following relative to the co-opera
tive dairy system now i'll vogue in the State
of Connecticut may be of value to the far
mers of this county: "'During the past 20
years a notable transform alton has taken
place in the methods of Connecticut dairy
farming. The old-fashioned system of in
dividual dairy farming, which formerly was
the leading factor in Connecticut agricul-
ture, has practically been wiped out. and ii
has been supplanted by the associated
creamery methods. The Harrington Cream
cry Company, which was organized in the
winter of 1869 20, was the initial attempt at
associated butter manufacture in the State
Now there are over IS creaneries situated
at convenient points throughout the land Of
steady habits New ones are being estab-
lished at frequent intervals, and it is prob
able that the present number will be doubled |
during tie next decade The creameries do |
business on a large scale. Some of Them are |
fed by 900 or 1000 cows, and annually con-
sumo from 1000, 900 to 1000, 900 quarts of
of milk Most of the com NAMES nav a GOOD |
dividend on the invested capital. Each |
creamery is situated near the centre of the |
territory of its supply patrons. Collections |
of cream or milk are made at frequent in |
tervals and brought to the factory where
the butter is manufactured. Some concerns |
gather only cream from their pa irons, while |
others collect the milk and separate it from |
the cream at the factory. In the early days |
of cooperative dairying butter and cheese |
were both manufactured by the same con- |
Germ, but at present these two industries are |
conducted independently. The associated |
dairy methods yield better returns to the |
farmers than the former system. The old |
fashioned churn has been banished, and the |
irksume labor of butter king has been |
eliminated from the monotonous routine of |
t he work of the farmers wife. The cream
cry secures to the farmes all the advantages |
of cooperation. The farmers pool their is |
sues, furnish factory, hire an expert but |
ier-maker, and employ man to sell and |
deliver the whole product The marketing |
now requires only one person, while under |
the individual system every farmer who
made pound of commercial butter was |
Obliged to sell ii himself"
