Storm Damages.

M1cHAEIsy1LIE, Oct 1S.-The storm of last
Friday night was more severe than that of the
2Sth of last August, and caused much damage
along the shores of the bay and its tributaries.
Messrs. IL. s. Hyde and Nathan Barron, of
Romuey Creek, had fences washed away by
the unusually high tide and their corn fields
injured by drift stuff. Mr.. John Ii. Mahan's

out, trees uprooted, and boats carried half a
mile away. The water was five feet deep all
over the grounds. Taylor's Island Ducking
and Fishing Club had theiI decoy house, boats,
&c, washed away. Ii. {. c. Colbourn and a
colored man who fish ut the mouth of Rom
ney Creek had their floating shanties carried
mile away and lodged high and dry on the
land.
A large amount of fencing and 10 acres of
corn in the shock belonging to Mr.. James T.
Ford, on DELPHI Farm, were carried off or in
jured by the tide.
Mr.. Charles w Michael, of Bay Shore farm,
also lost considerably. His place was almost
entirely submerged, his fences carried away
and his corn greatly damaged. MIR. Michael

a New Creamery.

CLERMoNT MILLS, Oct "a new creamery
is in course of construction near Fawn Grove,
Pa, and operations will be commenced as
soon as it is completed, provided farmers
who ship milk to Philadelphia do not buy
all of our COWS. They are now buying a
great many. The unequal freight rates on
milk on the narrowgauge railroad has put a
damper on the milk industry along its line,
especially in this section, and number of our
farmers have sold Il portion of their herds
Mr.. John Webster, who had dairy of 40
cows, has sold out Mr.. John A. Street,, who
has As head of COWS, will sell out entirely this
month Mr.. b. f. Darbie intends to sell his
herd of so cows. Several other dairymen, with
smaller herds, are also selling off. Many of
these COWS are taken by Pennsylvania dealers,
who sell them to the milk farmers of that
State, who ship their milk to the Philadelphia
market. Our county is especially adapted to
the dairy industry and 1t does seem shame
that we should be kept down by unjust rail-
road charges.
According to the Philadelphia Mercantile
and Financial Times the Farmers and Dairy
mems Protective Association in that city has
a membership of 1900 practical farmers, scat
tered over a radius of 60 or 20 miles from
Philadelphia, who send their milk daily to the
city. 1t is consigned to agents of the associa
tion who sell it to dealers at a fixed price,
made by the association every month.
An outgrowth of this association is the
Farmers Creamery Company, with a capital
of $4,000. 1t has 15-horse power engine,
eight separators, four large churns, and vat
holding 81, 900 quarts of milk. All the surplus
milk not taken by the dealers is now sent to
this creamery and worked into butter and
cheese. The first year of its existence it paid
back to the farmers over 5000 which other
wise would have been dead loss to them.
Why can not our enterprising farmers COM
bine together in the same way for mutual pro-
