IN Defense OF the Creameries.
Mr.. Editor:-I have been interested il
the discussion of the advisability Of pa
tronizing milk factory or creamery, anC
had not intended to say a word, but th'
figures submitted by Jon r. Wells are
il seems to me, SO misleading that can
not refrain from presenting his situation
from my point of view.
Mr.. Wells has omitted to consider tn,
cost OF delivering his milk to the factor
OF the White Cross company, IS compared
with the cream being taken at his door
He has also omitted to allow for gain ol
calves and hogs and increased yalus Q
manure pile which would have resulted j
he had kept bis skim-milk at home. Tax
ing into account the above omissions, le
US make few figures and see where tn,
balance stands.

the present season than Ebert Folan

popular taste, winning an encore at ever
