There are few well.to.do farmers in this
neighborhood that keep more cows than
are needed to supply their own tables with
cream and4sbutter, sandT the only, butter
offered by such on the market is the sur?
plus which is made when the cows are
fresh and the flow OF milk is abundant. |

operated by eSperienced menwitt modern
appliances, that will absorb a'l the surplus
milk and convert it into butter aud cheese.
