Best 8 Months
In History of
Creamery
83,106 Pounds More
Made In 1889 Than
Output of 1888
TOTAL 452,612LBS.
Indications Point To
Butter Make of
Nearly Million Pounds

Sank Lake Cooperative creamery
with monthly production for six
months in 1889 topping the record
butter output at the plant for 1895
by 83,106 pounds, has just COM
pleted period that Is the best six
months in the history Of the local
plant, George Strauss, secretary
said this week.
From the first six months fig,
ures it is indicated that last years
three-quarter million mark will be
stretched nearly to a million pounds
though it was pointed out that the
peak production months of May and
June are included in the first half.
Total butter production for the
first six months in 1889 is 1882
pounds as compared with 1858, SOC
pounds for the identical period in
1888, Mr.. Strauss said.
In 1888 all previous records OF
the plant had been smashed when
May and June took honors for the
high months in the history.
May, 1889, ranks as the top
month of all with 81 ,203 pounds pro-
duced. But June this year is not
far behind according to prelimin-
airy figures available that set the
production at 91,083 pounds. Final
figures are not available for June,
Mr.. Strauss pointed out, and there
NAV he some variation in the total
output.
Low point Of every year Is al
ways in January and February, yet
1889 topped in those two months
1885 figures, with January $4,000
over and February about 10000
higher, the report showed. There
was no month in 1889 that fell be-
low the corresponding month in
1888.
