Fairburn.
(From our Own Correspondent.) The Creamery has closed its doors and tho merry hum of tho separator is no longer heard in the land. The settlement is fast assuming that deathly quiet which is so apparent in some of those adjoining places, where there is not sufficient energy to start a business like dairying. One of the lessons that experience is teaching the settlers is that the scrubbers in their herds must be weeded out . What is the use of feeding and milking three cows to fill the bucket when one good cow’ will do the same thing ? Careful weighing and testing of the milk will soon find out which cow is worth keeping, and it is pleasing to note that some of the more enterprising of the suppliers are already moving along these lines. The Fairburn dancing class abandoned their dance on Saturday last, us a token of sympathy to Mr. A. Gibb, in his recent bereavement.
It is proposed to start a physical culture class here, and there is every indication that it will be well patronised. May 28, 1906.
