SOUTH BRITAIN CREAMERY.

SOUTH BRITAIN CREAMERY.
1t is atting that at the commencement
of another year few words should be
said regarding South Britain creamery.
It is probable that a creamery has never
existed about which hard feelings and
harder words have not been experienced
and expressed, and South Britain cream
cry is no exception. few creameries
start, struggle and succeed; more start,
struggle and succumb. This is not usual
ly because Of unjust reports entirely,
but sometimes because OF poor business
management; sometimes because of poor
products or products lacking uniformity
of quality, and often because Of INSULT
Gent milk supply. Every creamery, no
matter what its plan OF management
may be. is dependent upon its patrons as
much as they upon it, and in this sense
is truly cooperative.
Whatever may be said OF the ,dairying
community of South Britain and vicinity
it includes few or no sluggards; and
many men who are business.like, ener.
getic, s.udious; men who are seeking
new ideas along the line of their work
and applying them all the time. The
creamery has been fairly patronized, and

creasing. This is partly because a new
member is gained once in a while, but
more largely tor the reason that the
60-odd patrons are steadily increasing
the productive capacity Of their farms,
and adding one more COW every few
months as proof Of it and their belief
that the creamery pays. Many Of these
new COWS are bought from our bright,
wide-awake and responsible local dealers,

more are raised, the creamery system
giving every man opportunity to foster

own skimmilk.
Whatever may be said Of the creamery
and it's management during the few years
of it's progress, the patrons have received
their money regularly and promptly on

yet the highest paid by any creamery in
New England. But the creamery has
not been in the procession 20 or 25 years
with name and fame established long
ago. Some of the creamery's impatient
friends forget this and at times have
made demands upon its resources which,
if complied with, would have put the bus.
mess out of balance and resulted in the
humiliation of the young enterprise.
Fortunately the manager, although too
hot-headed at times, has enough of his
Scotch ancestors stubbornness to refuse
to be run when he scents danger, and the
crisis has passed.
- Nor is the price the lowest paid by any
New England creamery. And when
say "New England creamery" 1 say it
advisedly, as nowhere else in the country
do such high price for butter fats pre-
vail. The price paid during the past
two years has been one to four cents per
pound higher than has been paid by nu-
merous New Eng and creameries month
after month. Not once has the price
fallen below 16scents for crude fats dur.
ing the great midsummer glut, since the
first year of the creamery's life, and this
| when the surplus has forced thousa ds of
dairymens in our state to take IA cents
and lower for fats and one and one and
one fourth cents per quart for the whole
milk for two, three or four months.
How did South Britain creamery do it !
Never once by making fictitious tests,
nor by any other deception. 1t has been
fortunate in unloading portion of it's
surplus upon the ice cream manufactur-
ers, and while the price for this has been
ruinously low at times, 80 low as to make
the writer ashamed to give it publicity,
it has been turned into money, and the
seasons average price has helped the
price of fats.
| A serious disadvantage of the cream
trade is that to retain it when needed
during the annual milk food, the cream
cry must submit to selling cream in win.
ter and during August drouth, when to
ny matter, for it cuts short the butter,
and may cause the loss of one or more
reliable butter customers (our best trade
because it last the year round) and
whose call if it comes at all, is impera-
tive.
And now in answer to the frequent
| question asked by dairymen who have
been selling milk by the quart: The
milk nets our patrons from one and one
fourth to three cents per quart according
to the season of the year and quality OF
the milk. An average OF tests of all
milk recently has been 4.S7 per cent but.

cents per pound) it has made the milk
good and poor, average 2.62 cents pei

three cents for TIE whole milk. Patrons
| whose test is above 4.S7 get still larger
pay and there are many such tests. Ii

The postoffice department does its ut
most to promptly deliver all letters
properly addressed and stamped. Lax
methods on the part of the public result
in untold trouble for the department,
which is constantly reminding the peo-
pie that letter will not be forwarded
unless postage to the amount of two
cents Is affixed. 1t has just been devel.
oped that the carelessness of q writer
lost poor woman fine legacy. In a
Massachusetts town an old man was dy-
ing. He called friend in and asked
her to write at once to his niece and tell
her to come at once. The friend did as
requested, but very foolishly put two
cent revenue stamp on he letter in place
of the ordinary stamp. Revenue stamps
are not accepted as postage, and the de-
partment has said so repea. eddy in bull
letins and advertisements. The letter
was held at the postoffice and the niece
notified by mail of the letter which
would be forwarded upon the receipt of
the proper postage. There was nothing
on the letter TO Indicate where it was
from, and by the time the proper pos.
tage arrived the old man had died and
cut off the niece without dollar. Now
the officials say If the sender had simply
written her address on the envelope the
letter would have been promptly re-
turned to her, and the legacy would have
gone to the niece, who would have re-
ceived notification in time to arrive at
the bedside of her dying uncle. The de-
partment permits such addresses to be
written on the envelope, and would pre-
fer that writers take advantage of it,
Many letters which now find their way
to the dead letter office could be prompt

trouble avoided.

MR.. BRYAN HEARD FROM.

Now that the election is over, Mr..
Bryan has broken loose. He appears
in the dramatic pose of a martyr to
duty, saying that prior to the election
he felt he could not with propriety
speak freely. Now that the contest is
over he feels free to say that the i'm
mortal principle of 16 to 1 and the
lofty aspirations of the Chicago plat
form have been but temporarily laid
aside by the people. and that they Will
be taken from their retreat in 1900
and sweep the country from end to
end with a whirlwind of reform and
fusionism.
The reason for the late Republican
triumph is, according to Mr.. Bryan, to
be found in the reluctance of the peo-
pie to seem to be opposing or rebuking
the Administration. The great mass of
the volunteer soldiers, Mr.. Bryan de-
clares. are Republican-just how
he found it out is left unexplained-but
they voted to indorse the President that

war might not be dimmed.
This sounds very patriotic and top
loftical, but it is all defamation. The
people sustained the President, it is
true, as was right and proper, but they
understood perfectly well the platform
upon which the President was elected
and on which he remains. They en-
tirely comprehended the meaning of
their voting since in the great majority
of the States in which fusionists APP
pealed to them the fight was made on
party lines alone. In California an
idiotic attempt was made to turn the
election into an anti-railroad demon
stration. but it signally failed. Condi-
tions, however, were abnormal here as
compared with campaign conditions at
the East.
Let not Mr.. Bryan deceive himself,
the Republicans won because Republic
can policy was approved by the people.

NATIONAL EXPANSION.

w j. MCGEE, Vice President of the
National Geographic Society, points
out in the magazine of the association
that we are deficient alone in the car
rylng trade, as nation That is put
ting it very strongly since scholars Of
American history find other things in
which we are short" But that we
are lacking in carrying trade is true.
And it is noteworthy that one of the
foremost declarations of the Republi-
can party is, and it is made more emu
phatic with every assembly of the
party in national council, that in this
respect there must be reform; that the
shipping interests of the country must
be strengthened, encouraged and
broadened. The party is pledged to
the policy that will effect this. 1t has
already undertaken the task, and, if it
is sufficiently long undisturbed, it will
accomplish it.
The annexation of Hawaii is a break
in direction that will give a new
impetus to the movement and the cb-
sorption of Porto Rico, and probably
of the Philippines, is going to greatly
augment the drift of an expanded car
rying trade. Celebrating upon his sub
ject and considering the destiny of the
nation along lines of expansion. Mr..
MCGEE says-and no apology is neces-
sary for quoting so literally from such
a strong and hopeful paper:
Cautious students presage the future
from the history of the past and the
American of to-day must look to the
lessons of 1903. 1921. 1915. and 1913

expansion in 1898. The trend of these
lessons is clear. After a generation of
