| ne anilual meeting OF the DanYille
Creamery Association was held Thurs
day the 3rd inst The old board of drec-
tors was reelected. The directors organ
izedlby electing Chas. d. Brainerd, presi-
dent; M. V. b. Sargent, vice president;
Peter Wesson, manager, and n. A. Dole
secretary and treasurer.
The Creamery has had very successful
year, having received $40 PA pounds
OF milk, 434,60S pounds of cream, and
has made pol ,S2S pounds of butter, an
average of nearly $50 pounds per day for
every working day in the year. The
Creamery has no outside skimming sta
tons, the business being done at the fac
tory. The average price paid the patrons
for butter during the year, Babcock test,
is pa cents per pound The average cost
OF making the butter including packing
and delivery at the depot has been two
and one-twentieth cents per pound.
In order to handle the increased bust
I ness which has come to them this year,
the managers have put in one thousand
dollars worth of new machinery and with
the present equipments can make 1900
| pounds per day.
Tie Creamery has now been doing
| business here tor three years and has been
success from the start. The first year
they made S4,326 pounds, the second
year 16S, 157 and the past year 251 ,S2S,
and the business has increased faster Tor
the past few months than at any time
since they started. We attribute the sue
cess OF the creamery largely to the fact
that is owned and managed by the dairy
| 81 Il, II
stockholders and all of the officers and
managers are patrons, and from the start
the business has been run more for the
| interests of the patrons than to make
money for the stockholders. II this pol
icy is continued, and we are confident it
will be as long as the present manage
ment are in control, it is safe to predict
that the business will show a steady in
crease Tor some time to come and be of
great benefit to the dairy interests of this
section.
