PATRONS OF \ HIGHGATE CREAM
FRY LOSE THEIR MILK MONEY.
The Sanderson creamery in Highgate
gore, patronized by many Of the farm
ers of Franklin has changed hands. ana
the patrons seem likely to lose from 5000
to $1,000. This creamery is on the old
Sanderson farm owned by j. u. San
derson, who moved to West Newton,
Mass, several years ago. Between one
and two years go, l.. j. Sauderson, start
ed this creamery and it has been well
patronized. Most of the cream was sent
to j. j. Sanderson at West Newton,
Mass the remainder being made into
butter. The patrons of the creamery re-
ceiVed printed letters from l.. j. San
derson August %, the day when their
checks were due, stating that lie had
met with financial reverses and was uh-
able to meet his obligations. He notified
the patrons that the creamery has been
leased to l. A. White 4 Son. of Boston
and advised them to do business with
this firm. representative Of the firm
was on hand the next morning after the
letters were received, ready to proceed
with the business. The farmers are ma
turally very indignant and some object
to doing business with the new firm.
The patrons lose the July product and
that of the first twenty-five days Of
August L. j. Sanderson paid only a poll
tax and he had disposed of all the
creamery products, so there seems no
way of recovering any of the money
lost.

lent and has commenced raising ginseng.
lie recently purchased a strip of land
calls his ginseng farm This land he has
spaded and mixed with woods soil and
fertilizer in order to have il as near as
possible like the soil which the gin
song plants grows. He already has set
out 6i3 plants and expects 10y fall to have
1000 plants growing. He has room enough
ON his farm TO grow 1,5o0 plants. Gin
fonE root is used exclusively by the Chi
nose because Of its supposed medicinal
properties. The Chinese use it a "cure
all for almost every kind of disease and
claim that it prolongs life The plant is
used but little in the United States, al
though within the past few years its
use in cases of heart trouble has been
| looked upon with favor by some phYsi-
clans. The plants grows in North Am
erica. Small quantities Of il are found
In Vermont Nh, Edwards i'm talking

in China, is sold for so, while one pound
of the seed is worth 800, He said, TT
takes 500 seeds to make "A pound. | have
already secured n large number of seeds
from the plants which | am growing. |
do not expect to be able to harvest any
Of the root for three years. If had not
| planted good sized roots | should have
had to wait five years for the roots to
grow to marketable size" Mr. Edwards
Is a wheelwright by trade but expects in
| time to give up that work and devote all
his attention to raising ginseng.
