Our cream check for October was $71,111, besides which we churned 14 pounds of butter at home, worth 't.SO and used for the family ltd gallons of new milk, which if valued at 20 cents per gallon, would be fit. We also used seven and one half qnarts of cream, worth f 1.50, and fed 742:1 pounds of skim milk, worth 10 cents per hundredweight, or f 7. 43, making a total of '.HI Oil for October.
