females of the family The kim milk was
found to be useful either to sell as sucb or in
the rearing of calves. He was able to gauge
tbe value of his cows as milk producer aiwi
tbus to improve bis stock. He could keep s
larger stock and so improve tb quality of
111s land.
New FJngl.ind was th birthplace of tbe
creamery idea, but it was not long in taking
root in all other communities of progressive
farmers. The cost of sucb establishment bas
run from ll.UU) for the cheapest op to flu.

to run a small creamery, while tbe milk of
wveral thousand cows can be used to ad
