In every case, la-fore ad journment, commutes were apslnted to carry on the work of organisation and in this way have started 0 creameries, 3 skimming stations and 3 cheese factor ies which have added materially to the Mai production of that section.

Aside from the addition of new cream eries to the in Itisiry, the increase in product is shown by a statement from the Albany creamery, giving results for the first ten month ol 1000 compared with the same period in 1800; it shows the total receipts by months; pounds of milk received; pounds of butter fat; number of patrons; amount paid per pound lor bolter fat and total amount paid patrons. The receipts for tho ten months In 1000 represent an increaso of 55 (sir cent. With facilities extended by the rail road ami express companies lor trans portation of cream and milk at very low rates, dinners living near the railroad are brought in easy reach of creameries.

They propose to keep on hand at all timrs fresh oysters, clams, crabs, fish, poultry and eggs and lo fill all or ders iiiomntlv and satisfactorily. The boys appear to be full ol business and will no doubt succeed as the town has never hud enough fish, claniB or oysters; and then paying cash to the farmer for his products will help bring more bust ricRfl hero.
