,The report also showed that there had
been four sales of butter during the ma-
son, and the averaee price received was
214 oents per pound, while the patrons
received 17icente per pound for the first
and third sales, 16i Gents for the seoond
and 18 cents for the fourth sale. It was
stated by the president, F. Henry, and
the salesman, H. D. Henderson, that the
butter offered at the eecond Bale was
hardly up to the standard, and a general
discussion ensued. The president gave a
very clear abatement of the affairs of the
company and the management of its
affairs for the past year, and pointed oat
wherein he thought improvements might
be made, which experience had suggested.
The following gentlemen took part in the
discussion :—Mr. Oliver, the butter
maker, Wm. Homuth, J. T. Holmes,
Thoe. Davidson, D. O'Callaghan, Wm.
Martin, Gavin Wilson, M. Hodgson and
others. The general opinion was that
several things contributed to the butter
not being up to the standard—the want
of ice and proper oars of the milk, the
length of time between gatherings of the
oream and the length of time it was in
the cream gathering tank before delivery
at the creamery. Efforts will be made
to as far as possible remedy these canoe
in the future. The old directors, namely,
F. Henry, Gavin Wilson, Wm. Martin,
R. Pettypieoe and John Gillespie,' were
unanimously re-elected for another year.
Jae. Gaunt and Malcolm Lamont, the old
auditors, ware re -appointed, and a most
successful meeting was broughtht to a
close. J. T. Holmes, m s who was present
at the meeting, said that he was using a
No. 8 Cream Separator, which cost $100.
He was greatly pleased with it, and
would not be without it.
