There is a wide interest at the present time in the State in the business of co-operative butter-making, and in response to calls from the localities where institutes have been held much of the work has been either directly giving information upon the business or it has been of a character more or less intimately related to co-opera- tive dairy work. While a considerable number of creameries have been started during the year in the work of making butter, there is still room in the State for many more, and the call for information still continues. As an answer, in part, to the call for plans, speci- fications, fixtures and cost, illustrations and plans are given of several of the successful creameries now being operated in other States, and also ground plans of some of those which have been established in this State. These will afford suggestions to any company contemplating starting the business. The cream-gathering plan of work so far has seemed best adapted to the situation as it exists in the State at the present time. The plans here given are all designed for this system. There are two methods of carrying on this business. The one is to organize a company for carrying on the business, and place the details of management in the hands of a board of officers selected from among the patrons of the enterprise. The expense of carry- ing on the business, including interest on capital invested, is paid.
