The Creamery a Busy PIace-Two Men Fined
for sssault-Foot Ball.

Pittsfield, Me-, Oct. 26.-(SpeciaD.-
One of the busiest places in this village
ar the present time is the Pittsfeld
Creamery, owned by Greedy & Peters of
Ellsworth, and under the management
of John G. Gordan of that place.
creamery is something that the town
has felt the need of for several years,
but it was not until in the spring that
any steps We're taken toward erecting
one. The creamery is one of the latest
model and is a very convenient build
ing for the purpose for which it is ued.
1t is situated in the heart of the village,
very near the stores and business sec
ton of the town, and is very convent
entity located for the farmers who fur
nish the cream. We are informed by
Mr.. Gordan that at the present time
they are making about a ton of butter
each week. In several places where
CreamerieS are located, the proprietorS
are complaining Of a dull period in their
business and the farmers are diSsatis-
fled with the pay they are receiving
for their cream. but the creamery in
this village seems to be an exception
to the general rule as it is apparently
having about all the business ii can at
tend to and is paying the farmers more
for their cream than during the spring
and summer. At present there are
about 800 cows whose products are sent
to the creamery. The largest herd OF
this number is kept at the Hathorn
Stock Farm, and is owned by Messrs
Greedy & Peters. The herd numbers
about 10. and are all fine Jerseys. The
farm is under the able management OF
W. J. Coughlin.
