senlsd, and Suggested thai the moot eco
nomiesi snd practical way to zaks sepn-

ct once, and shipping is BY sAii TO his cream

By ,his plan, the extra proportional sx-
penss, usuaIly necessary 10 starting

svoided.
A. the same time the assurance vs. given
that whsn the quantity Of cream should De

being sefacisnsiy large, % warrant the es-
adjustment Of . separate creamery, saeh
creamery would be built. This clan has
bsen followed during the past season.
Cream has been regularly gathered and
shipped to 81. Albans. The results have

gers against the possibility Of mistakes
~hether made purpOseiy or otherwise. In
this way considerable economy is gained
where the lots of cream are small and scat
tered, as il is not necessary TO gather IT 80
often. This latter plan was introduced into
the State by Mr.. Winslow. II is used 10
the creameries with which he Is connected,
ard in several others which have adopted
the same plan when organizing. The farm
ers in the section referred to have had a.
opportunity to consider both methods. and
have adopted this - the most practical AND
suited to their wants.
