CREAMERY NOTES.

Mancos Tribune.
Since the creamery first began opera
lion this season there has been such
demand for the product that it can
not be supplied. The Increase in out
nut has been steady and rapid as the
following figures will show.
The first churning turned out a
product of 81 pounds of butter; the
last one for the month of July was
l2S pounds
The product by the week for the
month OF July was as follows:
First week k...............16 pounds
Second week ..........2 2O3 pounds
Third week ..............2i .2i3 pounds
Fourth week .........26 26S pounds
Fifth week ....,........27 .270 pounds
sixth week ............3 1858 pounds
There was 1,25S pounds of butter
sold in July for s2S2.O3. Without any
additional increase the August output
will amount to 1915.
The largest pay check for the month
of July was drawn in favor of J. II.
Hammond for s10S72. This income
was realized off of thirty head of very
common cows. Fifteen head of aver
age good milk cows will yield the
same income which will be an average
Of $500 per head. Many cows are
doing much better than that
A COW eats on an average of 900
bounds OF alfalfa per month. At 81
per ton this will amount to $315.
Cream is worth 20 cents per pound
Whom feeding time comes it will he
worth 2S cents Thus it may he seen
that 81 hay can he fed to good milk
cows at good profit The output of
the creamery should be doubled again
before the summer is over.
