New Cooperative Creamery Building
at Swanton.
Vermont. the greatest dairy state in
New England can well be proud OF the
rapid strides she is making in the erec-
ton of large, modern, sanitary ard
substantial creamery buildings. The
farmers cooperative creameries and
cheese factories are rapidly incrcas
ing in number throughout the state,
and the farmers are not satisfied I'M
til they have succeeded in erecting q
plant which il the last word in cream
cry construction, and through which
their products can be handled IN the
most efficient and most sanitary man
npr.
The farmers of the Swanton district
have completed and occupied their new
creamery building This is one of the
largest and most modern plants IN the
state. Assistance in starting this or
ganization and construction of the new
building was given by the state and
United States department OF agricul.
ture. Operations are now begun and
at the present time, about 10000
pounds of milk and 500 pounds of fat
in sweet cream are handled daily.
This building was constructed of con
crete blocks at cost OF approximate

ganization work Of new cooperative
creamery associations and making

Market Briefs.
Sweet Cream-The sweet cream bust.
ness Of the Vermont creameries dur
ing the month has been limited to some
extent. and the markets for this prod
net have been firm but dull. The chief
reason for the existing conditions Is
due to the large difference in nrices
for whole milk between the Dairymen's
league and the y. Z. NJ p, \. The
price to producers in the D0irymen
league j. 060S cents per quart com
pared with 0975 cents per quart to pro
dueers in the \. +. NJ. p. A. On ec-
count of this wide variation the New
York state producers are seeking out
lets in the Boston and other New Ena-
land markets, and are selling sweet
cream at 4 much lower figure than the
producers and crcameries IN New Eng
land who are governed by the \, Y. NJ
p A. prices
Another reason for the duilu,ss Of
the market * attributed % the leie
spring which has greatly curtailed the

Butter Shipments During the rail-
road strike last month four Of the CO.
operative creameries together shipped
I1ts tons of butter 90 the New York
CITY market by parcels post. Compar-
ison Of prices ON the Boston and New
York markets during that period
show that these shipments netted tle
ereameries profits in excess of those
which would have been received had
the butter been disposed of on the Bos-
ton market.
Now York Batter Market-'Some Of
the creameries selling unsalted or
sweet butter on the New York City
market are not acquainted with the
basis upon which such butter = pur-
chased. or the basis used by the deal
ers when making returns to the cream
cries
The uusahed quotations which ap-
pear in the daily producers price cur
rent and other market quotations are
never used in making returns. Jnsalt-
ed butter handled by the largest deal
err on that market pay for it on the
extras" salt quotation plus small
