University of Illinois, is said to b
run equal to any in the state. Th
J dairy room is arranged for forty COWS
The'lloor and managers are made 0
cement, the stalls are made of iron
and the barn is SO arranged that ever
thing can be easily cleaned and Hood
ed every day. The urderS of the COW
are washed before every milking anC
the milk is immediately c.,ulcd 10 Il
degrees. bottled ana placed in Il 1an,
OF cool water until delivered. Ever,
pail, bottle and cloth used in lh.pro.
cess is not only well cirlu,rI. but i,
placed in Il brick oven AMI ,t"rlizrd
with hot steam for five Minute, IL
has been found that milk made in
this manner not only keep, longer,
but is OF a higher quality Lhiu when
made in the ordinary way.
A Georgetown paper says:
We venture the assert ion That fe W
people realize the very large sum of
money received by Sussex county far
mcrs IN the course of Il year for eggs.
MIR. George II. Lynch, one of the lead
ing merchants of Georgetown, !lls
furnished us some figure, on the egg
question that seem absolutely marvel
Gus, but the figures are thoroughly
accurate, as Mr.. Lynch hls Kept il
record OF every dozen of egg, he has
shipped during the past year aud his
records show that he has shipped dur
ing the year just closed, fifty thou.
sand, three hundred and seventy five
dozen eggs.
AS we stated above, this seems al-
most fabulous but Mr.. Lynch youchcs
for the correctness of the figures. lie
also says that the average price he
paid the farmers for these eggs is AZ
cents per dozen, making the amo,m +
ne has paid for eggs during the year
81, ,304.374.
lMr Lynch is but one of IL dozen or
more of our merchants who handle
'ggS extensively and he eS Stin.ates
hat at least twenty five Thousand
loIlars a year is realized by our far
ncrs from their eggs alone more
han the entire corn and fodder crops
II Georgetown hundred would bring.
