Another destructive fire and ex-

disastrous consequences by that of

main shaft of the Empire Mill, and
while the fire department was exert

the adjoining Minneapolis mill,
which suddenly exploded with terrific
force, causing the death of two fire.

REDWOOD FALLS, Dec. I, 1881.
Editor Gazette:
DEAR SIR-The writer has re-
ceived a proposition from a Mime
apolis party offering to come to this
place next spring and establish a
creamery or butter factory, provid-
ing sufficient encouragement is Of
fered by the farmers in number of
COWS. That an establishment of
this kind would be of great advan-
tage and a source of profit to farmers
is unquestioned, a. it would enable
them to dispose of all their cream
for cash at remunerative prices and
save to their wives nearly all the
hard work incident to butter making,
and At the same time the farmers
can retain all the skim milk at home,
raising just as many calves and hogs
as though they did not sell the
cream, which will bring them from
two to FIVE dollars per cow a month.
The owners of the creamery pro-
pose to send their own teams to the
door and collect the cream, paying
for the same by measure. This is a
decided advantage apparent to all
grain raisers, as it obviates the loss
in time and use of team in harvest if
each farmer hauled his milk or
cream to a factory.
The parties say in this letter that
Il will not pay them to come here
unless at least 800 cows can be pos
itively assured them within distance
of 70 miles of Redwood Falls.
l have a sample creamer at my
office which will be glad to exhibit
to all interested parties and explain
the proposed plan more fully. If
the prospects are good for the un-
dertaking, thorough canvass of the
vicinity will be made next month
and definite arrangements made.
Yours truly,
II. u. CHoLLAR.
