Reports From Creameries in the
County Show Great Increase
in the Dairy Business
PRODUCT A QUARTER MILLION
More Than Twenty-Five Million Pounds
of Milk Sold to Creameries Dur
ing Past Year, and Million
Pounds of Butter Made

County Clerk Jones has received
from the various town clerks in the
county the annual report of the cream
cries in the county which shows that
the business done by the creameries
has shown great increase over the
business done IN the preceding year.
The report shows that there are now
seventeen creameries in the county
and every town has its creameries
save the town of Pleasant Prairie.
The report shows that the practice of
shipping milk out of the county to
Chicago is rapidly being done away
with and that most of the milk is be-
ing sold to local creameries.
During the year total of 26,7Oo, 444
pounds of milk was delivered to the
creameries of the county and from
this milk total of 1,176,O56 pounds of
butter was made. The value Of the
product is placed at 500, 61o.88.
1trecords show that the churn has
been largely eliminated from the
farms of Kenosha county and only a
few of the reports show any but
ter made on the farms. Less than a
hundred pounds of cheese was made
in the county during the past year.
There are $40 patrons of the seven
teen creameries and 2, $50 cows furnish
the milk used. The town Of Bristol
leads in the production of milk and
cream and furnishes annually to its
creameries total of 8,128. $50 pounds
of milk from which 367, $50 pounds
of butter is made. The value Of the
product of the creameries in Bristol is
placed at 500, 241.53. The town of
Salem is second in the list and Brigh-
ton is in third place. The total value
of all the creameries in the county is
placed at $41, 400. The creameries in
Bristol are classed as the most va1u-
able, their value being placed at
$14,O 900.
The city of Kenosha is shown to
have but one creamery and the value
of the product of this is placed at
SIS, 1872 year.
The town clerks have gone to a
great deal of trouble and expense in
securing these reports from the vari-
Gus butter and cheese making con-
Germs and all the figures are based on
the reports returned from the books
of the various creameries.
It is reported that the creamery
business in the county is proving
most remunerative and plans are now
being made for the erection of several
other cooperative creameries. The
failnre of the Brighton Farmers
Creamery some years ago had tend
ency to discourage the farmers, but
the more recent success of other CO.
operative creameries in the county
has restored confidence in the bust
ness.
