4 Report from the Creamery Manager.
There having been considerable fault
found with price paid at this creamery,
the directors decided 10 satisfy them
selves as well as they could fthe difference
in paving on the Ba bcock test. 1.-THE test
that is used in all creamerIes IN this sec
tion) and the ChuTn that they always
have paid on. The following is the result
They find that they can pay 80 cts per
pound BY the Babcock test or % cts. by
the churn, and both tests are this month
figured every voucher and in nearly
every case of any difference in the money
paid the difference has been in favor OF
the churn. In looking over the vouchers
the following results are noticeable. F.
II. Gibson OF McIndoes furnished 1864
lbs milk The Babcock test gave him
414 lbs butter to 100 lbs. milk, netting
him 1913 lbs butter at 80 cts, $50. 40.
The churn gave him ST. lbs. butter to
100 lbs. milk. netting him 30 lbs. butter
at 25 cts, $50. So showing a gain to him
of S2.10 in favor OF the churn. l.. w.
Hazelton of Barnet furnished 342 lbs.
separator cream. Babcock test gave him
1881 lbs butter to 100 lbs. cream. net
ting him 81 lbs. butter at 80 cts, $26.1O.
The churn gave him 30.42 lbs. butter to
100 lbs. cream, netting him 104 lbs. of
-
him the same amount of money although
bringing cts. per pound more by the
Babcock test than by the churn. Henry
Byron furnished 1876 lbs. Cooley cream.
Babcock test gave him 1S.45 lbs of but
ter to 100 lbs. cream, netting him 10 lbs.
butter at 80 cts, $3.50. Churn gave
him 22.14 lbs. butter to 100 lbs.
cream netting him So lbs. butter at
25 cts, $22 90, showing gain of o cts.
in favor of the churn. We could go
through our list of over 100 patrons and
show same results in nearly every case,
as these figures do not show highest or
lowest tests, but q good fair average
of the different kinds furnished. Now it
seems as though any reasonable thinking
man will see at once that 1t IS not the
big price paid per pound that tells the
story; 1t is the amount OF money that is
received from the cream. We feel con-
fdent in saving that the patrons of
Barnet creamery have received as much
money for cream delivered at their cream
cry as any in this state. But they have
got it in their test and not in a big price
per pound. ANY information desired by
patrons or others will be gladly furnish
ed by the undersigned.

CFrom another source.i
Mrs. ]. c. Gleason would like to have
a certain lister understand that she is not
in the habit of manufacturing her evil
dence, and that in an argument it is
customary to cite parallel cases to prove
point. It's worth ten dollars Tor a
woman to be a BILE to witness with what
complacencv a board of officers can sit
all the forenoon on a case, and at the end
of that time have no decided opinions
one way or the other. | suppose they
are so overcome by the thought of the
two dollars that they will receive for the
days service, it renders them incapable
of weighing subjects Of lesser Importance.
