"Never get tea from a French shop or let a French person make it for you. Tea is beyond the ken of the French." Then they went to a creamery, painted white inside and out as are all the creameries in Paris.
The farmers seldom had sufficient spirit to buy at the grange store if they found better bargains elsewhere; so the store was assured of its clientele only so long as it sold at the lowest possible prices. Farmers' agencies for the disposal of produce met with greater success. Cooperative creameries and elevators in several States are said to have saved Grange members thousands of dollars.
The spirit of rivalry between one community and another, which exists today between neighboring creameries, would excite the imagination of the members, and the organized community would be as swift to act as the unorganized community is slow to act. Intelligence would be organized as well as business.
"Oh, Jonathan, you can sing, and no mistake." "Five six seven mistakes," John answered. The boys laughed. John told Fluff what the hero had said to him, and showed the piece of gold. "What ho! The Creameries! Come on, Esmé." At the Creameries several boys congratulated John, and the Caterpillar said "You astonished us, Jonathan; 'pon my soul you did. Have a 'dringer' with me?

The establishment of co-operative creameries seemed to afford the most hopeful opening, and it was to this that Sir Horace Plunkett and a few personal friends, in the year 1889, directed their earliest missionary efforts. The difficulties to be overcome were at first very great. "My own diary," writes Sir Horace, "records attendance at fifty meetings before a single society had resulted therefrom.
At all the principal places schools have been established in which the best methods of dairy-farming are taught. Fortunately, cattle diseases are practically unknown. The fine quality of the grasses, together with the improved methods of manufacturing brought about by the creameries, causes Siberian butter to rank with the best products found in the European markets.
At any rate, they asked John no questions, and treated him, with distinguished courtesy and favour; but that evening, when John was fagging in Lawrence's room, the great man said abruptly "I saw you walking with Lovell senior this afternoon." John explained. Lawrence frowned. "Oh, you've been celebrating, have you? Thanksgiving service at the Creameries.
To-day more than half of the American creameries are co-operative and the number is constantly increasing. They are efficient and successful in every way, and to-day make the finest of butter and pay the highest prices to the farmer for his cream. But their way was first paved and the business developed by successful private concerns.
He was always complaining of his digestion. His principal vice was a mania for proposing rural parties during the summer season, excursions to Montmorency, picnics on the grass, and visits to creameries on the boulevard du Mont-Parnasse.
Minnesota alone has over six hundred cooperative creameries, some of which have a laundry annex. The associations have six hundred and sixty thousand members and do a business of nearly a thousand dollars a year for each member. These are the people that we call "hayseeds"; if we could plant some more such "seeds," it would be a good job.
