AT THE CREAMERY,

The creamery is still increasing its
 output, notwlthsta nding the fact that al
 most all cows are giving less milk. This
 is due to an increase of patronage, the | creamery having been favored with six new patrons within 8 few days. The l HotchkissVille skimming stations receipts of milk still increasing and several more new patrons are about starting in. Everything considered the price received l is far more satisfactory than the New York the year round. No bills lost, no ! cans lost, no milk ever ordered held back,
 and none that is good ever refused under any pretext is what the people like. During most of the year patrons bring their milk and cream every second day only. This saves a large amount of
 time, of driving and of wear and tear. Again, there is no limit to what man
 may increase his herd production to, as there is in milk making for the market, and by little care one may in- crease his herd test and thus increase the price received per quart. The shrewdest and best farmers are working along this line to their universal ad vantage. Last but not least is the skim- milk on the farm. I5 is a thing all milk shippers miss and thing they cannot
 afford to lose. At killing time every fall
 the creamery patrons look wise, and they
 we'll may, with their winters meat, their fresh pork, choice lot of heifers coming
 on and their milk cheeks in hand besides.

BETHEL.

THE CONDITION OF HATING IN BETHEL.
 The signs of the times in the hat h. dustry of Bethel look favorable for good, fair fall trade. There is not great rush for hats yet and probably there will not be this fall. A steady demand every week for hats for the next three months is what we all most need. The workmen will probably earn more money this fall than for the past three years, be- cause they will work few more hours in 8 week and few more days in the month. The local workmen are nearly sll employed every day in the week. A few old men are still left out in the cold but most of them will be wanted as the trade advances at odd jobs around the factories. You never can tell in these days what new fangled notions will come next to make work for somebody. Changes often occur in the hat manu- facturing business and at all times during the trade. Sometimes machines are laid aside and hand work takes it's place for a season which makes 8 demand for more workmen, and so it goes. Hundreds of houses need repairs. Carpenters and painters will soon see busy times again. Once get the ball in motion kick it along to your neighbor and so on. The pres ent generation have learned a lesson they will not easily forget.
