Our dairymen will see the call for a
creamery meeting. By figures from the
treasurer-s book we learn that the net
price received on the butter manufac-
tured last year was 1S14 cents, or as good
as 1871 cents to the: farmer who supplied
his oWH JuuS, SAT-, 6IC. Inc ayerage
amount of milk required for pound OF
butter was 21.95 = almost 22-pounds.
This was an excellent yield. BY a vote
OF the patrons the agent was required to
make frequent sales of the butter. and the
6rst and midsummer make was sold too
early to realize best prices, but the 2eEer-
al market considered, the prices were
quite satisfactory. We heard no complaint
during the year in regard TO the working
and management of the creamery; and
the reports from all parties who received
the .hnt1er were fiattering. Mr.. Person
is an honest, accommodating man, and his
creamery is first-class. We hope all
within. reasonable distance will see it to
their advantage to- bring. their milk to the
creamery. Nh. Person is making ARRANGE
ments to put separator in at West Glov
'er to accommodate the .dairymen in thai
locality.
