Among the successful creameries in the state, ill the front ranks stands the Cornwall Creamery Co.,, which was or ganized in August, 1889. The promoter 1 of the scheme, bound to have a model plant, sent committees about, inspecting l creameries, and finally selected a plan and built. They consider that they have a model creamery building and in- deed they have. The present officers of | the association are: President. IFS. Gold; | treasurer, John E. Calhoun; secretary, George c. Harrison; directors, the off cers and Dwight Rogers and David l.. Smith. The list of patrons of the cream cry includes, c. E. Baldwin, Roger l..

Har- rison, Walter Chipman, John Murray, Robert Baldwin, John Palmer, Charles | Morris, l. Bennett, w. E. Robinson, Matthew Stocker. The creamery is for tunate in having an efficient butter mak- CT in the person of Austin c. Ball, who has held his present position for three years. The output of the creamery is about 600 pounds a week, and the quail ity is No. l in every respect Like most creameries of it's class they have lively demand, and could sell much more if they made it. The butter from this fac tory finds a market at Bridgeport. New Haven, NewtOwn, East Orange, N. J ,, Torrington and Stamford. One can cas- ilv see why this creamery butter has so high reputation, after perusing the fol lowing rules, which were adopted by the company in 1889. They are as follows CLEANLINESS IN EVERY WAY IS INSISTED UPON
 For this end, stables must be so arranged and cal ed tor that no filth or taint can get in, to the milk. Cows must be kept clean and neat so there shall be no danger from tha, direction.
 Croamers must be kept in place free from OdOrs, and cleanliness maintained around them, while they must be kept sweet and clean, and the water must be changed as often as necessary to keep it sweet and clear Cans must be washed and scalded every time they are used.
 The temperature of the water in the cream CT must not be allowed to fall below 45 de grees in the summer, and 40 degrees Tn the winter.
 Patrons must provide creamers with a sui ficient number ot cans to hold all their milk until the cream gatherer cares for 1t. The cream from none but healthy cows vii be received, and the milk must not be set fol cream in less than five days from calvng.
 The cows, the stables, the iced. the cream CTS, and all dairy arrangements must be oper at all times to the inspection of the directors or of a committee appointed by them.
 Milk must be strained through two strain CTS, at least before going into the cans When the cans have been filled and set into . the water they must not be interfered witt until the cream gatherer attends to them.
 Cream will not be gathered on Sund1ysa anC . patrons wishing to do so can retain it; other
 wise they can skim the cans, noting the mum
 Der of spaces, and place the cream in can putting it back in the creamer, whence the cream gatherer will take it on Monday.
 Great care must be taken in the feeding o cows, that nothing that by any possibility car
 hurt the cream be given them. Cotton seet meal turnips, and cabbages are absolutely prohibited, and pure water must be furnished the COWS. The COWS must be salted regularly at least twice week.
 Our cream gatherers are forbidden to take any cream which, in their judgement, is dirty or not of satisfactory quality or condition and are instructed to enforce these rules, ant
 report any violation ot the same.
 It i- understood and agreed that all patrons
 assent to these rules, q condition of thei
 cream being received at the factory.
