Cream Trade Increasing.

Bulletin % of Maine Experiment Sta
ton says: 1t is an important feature
of our dairy business that there is a
growing demand for fresh, sweet
cream, not only for domestic use. but
for exporting to the large cities. Dur
ing the past year this cream trade from
Maine has considerably exceeded $780,
600 and each year finds the demand in
creasing. 1t has come to be an impor-
tant question how best to foster this
branch of our dairy business, and dur
ing that season when butter is most
abundant and cheapest-for there is
the greatest demand for cream during
the summer months-to find a profit
able market for this commodity and so
reduce the butter supply and at the
same time increase the profit from the
dairy. One important reason for foster
ing the cream trade is that cream sold
to be consumed as cream is in no large
degree rival Of either milk or butter
but enlarges the demand for dairy
products at time when such products
are most abundant and most cheaply
produced.

the boat stopped too long at landing
when she loaded or unloaded freight.
And the excursionists had to be pleased,

forsake her for her rival boat-the Mary

There was more freight than usual on
this trip. and the roustahouts did not
