THE HARRIsONVILLE CREAMERY

AS creamery literature is now in demand,
we print the following as showing how cur
uei shbors propose to put theirs into running
Order:-
The directors OF the Jacksonville Cream
cry Company make the following annouce-
ment:
The creamery will begin active operations
on Monday, March Sd, 1884.
Routes are now being established leading
from the following points. for the gathering
of cream: Jacksonville. Pleasant Hill, Free
man, West Line, Archie and Adrian, about
sixteen to twenty points In all. One route
man will be placed on each route to receive
cream at each farm house OF his route every
sundays excepted.
Patrons will be paid for cream furnished,
at the end Of each month, or as soon thereaf-
ter ~ their accounts can be made out. The
price to be paid will vary With the price OF
butter, but will be as much as can be afforded
Each patron will be furnished with a pass
book. which he will keep, IN which the
amount Of cream gathered ut each time will
be placed by the route man. An account will
be kept ut the Office, and at the end OF each
month, or ~ soon US can be, each patrons
account will be made out aud sent tn him
with an order for the money. The pass.
hook will enable each person to test the cor
reclness Of the account.
The company will furnish, on trial, for
thirty days, q necessary outfit. consisting Of
thermometer, six caus, and tank or cooler,
aud II satisfactory to the parties u-ing them
they may take them and pay the actual cost
on them, II desired, In thirty, sixty and nine
ty days. The cost of the outfit will be about
e18. The cans are of the latest improved
pattern, each being provided with a glass In
dicstor, marked In inches, SO that the party
selling can tell at = glance how many gauges
Of cream the can c ,ntains At any time. Two
inches In thickness Of cream IN these cans, or
lib cubic inches, constitutes a gauge, and
each represents one pound Of butter. Each
can holds four gallons Of milk. We purchase
only the cream, leaving the milk for the Use
Of the farmer.
The tanks or coolers VIII. h we furnish an
swer the purpose Of the expensive Cooley
patent milk cooler, at about one-third the
price. The cans are placed in them to secure
even temperature Of the cream in cold or
warm weather. Milk in them will not freeze
with the Thermometer thirty degrees below
zero. They hold six cans, and may be kept
Vt the most convenience either in sun or
shade. The Thermometer Is indispensable to
raising cream properly. This outfit Is all thst
will I've needed by the farmer; with this he
will have no use for cellar or milk.house to
properly care for his cream.
Tn enterprise here Is q new one, but Is or
sanized On . substantial basis and bids fair 70
be q SUCCESS. In other places similar enter
prizes have been profitable bo:h to patrons
and owners, and haze materially developed
the surrounding country by encouraging
stock rsising and making q home market for
I'll farm produce.
We expect to begin operations with the
cream of about 600 COWS. The capacity OF
the Harrisonville creamery will enable US to
manufacture the cream Of four times that
number, aud we hope In the near future to
have such patronage as will enable US to
work 1t to its fullest capacity. It is an enter.
prise of no little importance to the farmers
Of this section of the country, and we ask
from every farmer a careful consideration Of
its merits. We hope to be able to make 1t
mutually profitable to its patrons and stock.
holders. We solicit the patronage of all
within reach Of our routes as they are or may
hereafter be established. and we expect by
straightforward, fair dealing 10 merit the
good opinion Of all who deal with US. We
cordially invite all to visit and witness the
operation Of the creamery after 1t begins
work.
