and in fact every one IN the community
but especially and above all these, the
farmers who are the lie blood OF every
calling. the rock upon whic., every
occupation is founded. Let the farmers
organize one grand strike and stop the
production, or withhold bread and but

and that must be furnished hy you.
OF course your confidence in 1t as
profitable investment to you Will con-
troll your actions. The testimony in
ti,o IL
creamerieS have been established is
that it is profitable. especially to the
farmer. 1t is decidedly too late in the
history of this ENTERPRISE TO entertain
doubt upon this point. True. owners
and builders OF Creameries nave failed,
so have men in all kinds Of business
In travelling over tie country we have
been surprised at the interest manifest
ed by all with whom we have talked
but find that there is but very little
known Ill relation to the operation Of
the Creamery. For the information of
those who We Lave not had the rrivil-
age of seeing personaiiy-we would
speak of one thing which ever farmer
must have. 1t Is called a Creamer, it
Is water tight box IN which deep pals
are set. The milk strained in them and
then the box is filled with cold water
from the well. Keeping the temtra-
ture as even as possible. This process
is absolutely necessary tor two reasons
at least First. TO get all cream there is
in the milk without regard to hot
or cold weather, and. second to get at
the measurement of the cream, which
is obtained by strip OF glass being in
serted in the pail near the top extend
ing down nearly half way of the pail.
On the pail by the side of the glass is
scale of inches marked. When the
cream rises, the line between the cream
and milk is perfectly discernable there
by giving the number ofinchesof cream
in the pail. We send man regularly
every day to skim and gather the cream
giving you tickets for the amount,
which will be pad weekly or monthly
as the patrons may desire. The cream
ers are TO be purchased by the farmers.
They are of various sizes and prices ac-
cording to the number of cows that
anyone may have. We furnish these
creame-S to our patrons at about one
half the price of any other kind that Is
On The market. As it is not our husl-
ness to make money out of our patrons
by selling creamers. We shall continue
to travel for weeks in gettin. up our
routes. Think the matter 1ver and BE-
prepared to encourage the enternrise
when we come around. Meantime.
don't fail TO call and see us when in
town. Not irreverently but as a
truth would we say as did one Of old
Come with Us and we will do thee
