adopted. Mr.. Mason IL sparing no pains
or expense to make IL frst-class in every

ness. We intend to put our machinery
up to be in readiness for operation In 3
few days, and Can say we are glad to zee
the farmers and dairymen Of the vicinity
IN so good earnest 70 patronise the bust
ness. We have fine show TO start on,
and have no fears but the business will
double up by the first Of June, and we
know the enterprising farmers Of that vi
cinity will not stand aside and see their
neighbOrs reaping such . bountiful har-
vest, without thrusting In their sickle to
share the profits. There fl no danger Of
overlooking the market with good
cheese. Our meetings held on April 4th
and 9th, were not large but very earnest
and lively, which shows business. A
number In the vicinity Of the factory are
taking COWS to milk, OF parties that live
too far on to deliver from home. Any
one wishing to rent cows, would do well
to call on Mr.. Manning At the factory, or
Mr.. Mason Of EmpOriA. and anyone wish
ing to rent cows to milk, would do well
70 correspond with the same gentIen en-.
I wish the people OF Badger creek and
vicinity to understand that we mean bus
mess, and will put In machinery to man
ufacture ali the milk they wish to fur
nish, into good cheese.
On riding over the vast range % well
supplied with water, have come to the
conclusion there IL no place IN Gods
foot-stool any better adapted for
dairy purposes and the convenience or
shipping cheese, and good markets In
every direction. It offers such an induce
ment for the dairy enterprise, don't see
how the people OF Lyon county can
Withstand 80 good . chance OF money
making enterprise.
The above will apply to the Cofman
neighborhOod, on the Cottonwood river,
ten miles west ofthis place. On making q
Cofman building one OF the best cheese
factories that could be thought OF, q stone
house 26x40 feet, three floors, fine spring
in basement for furnishing water for cool
ing milk and making steam for manufac-
turing. and water for keeping ali things
clean, which Is very essential In manuIac-
turing cheese. Indeed such Q factory
building would do credit to New York
and Ohio dairy regions. How glad we
are to ind such enterpisIng men a. Mason
and Coffman in our God-blessed State OF
Kansas. The same opportunity OF hav-
ing cows MIXED will apply to the Coz.
man factory, and anyone wishing to rent
out cows or rent them for the purpos Of
milking for the factory, will please call
on j. L. COffman. We also glory in COM
petition, as brother MetZger Of Plymouth,
Is starting up the enterprise and has sent
on to Ohio for one Of Fl. 81. ROls celebra-
ted cheese watts and apparatus. We hope
his neighbors will be alive to the enter
prise. Although it may slice OF one
hundred cows from the CoHman factory,
we trust there will be plenty and to
spare. Good wishes to brother Metzger.
We will say to the public at large, that
on and after the 10th OF May they can be
supplied with the best Of factory cheese
by ordering Of Messrs. A. A. Baker or Bra
gunler, Of Emporia, or OF L. Langstaff i
