Let us look into the history Of these
small, individual, full.cream Factories.
In 1888 and 1879 dividends were very
small and great many patrons honestly
thought 1t was caused by skimming and
for that reason good many small, full.
cream factories started up. Where are
they today. | can now call to my mind
at least tgelSe of such factories and they

Wright have since started and so far been
quite successful. Doubtless few small
factories can make tull-cream cheese and
by hunting up the cutting trade" and by
peddling make about the same dividends
IS creameries, but this does not prove that
1t can be done TO any great extent. II
does prove, however, that the statement Of
Chicago cheese dealers, is about two
twelfths true which is about as near as
they generally get. But their own exper-
ience knocks the bottom out of the two
twelfths gave them credit for. 1t is a
fact that they started in business with two
small factories making full-cream cheese
carrying the enterprise TO the extent Of
all young Americas" that bring 1k cts.
more than Flats" But they were com.
PEELED TO abandon the business two years

anything Of the kind; our goods are

more such words we beseech you. II is
a purposed thing TO curb the anger Of
dairymen. Now Messrs. Yocum & Roser
dealers in cheese of Chicago under false
flag, the hue and cry is all fraud is Ii,

demoralized that market But will show
their big problem to be as disastrous tc
their argument as was their little ones. Il
is quite evident that they had not heard
from "Ashtabula."
We find by the reports given by Mer
chandise and Tonnage, that the exports
from 1870 TO 1880 increased 81 per cent
SO skimming did not hurt that decade.
We also find by the New York Bulletin
that so far in the fiscal year for 1885,
which closes May 1st, exports were ILL.,.
0O2 800 lbs, and in 1873, which carries us
back TO the year when the largest exporta.

which Is less than per cent. This de.
crease is due to the very large production
which OF late years has been growing up
in Canada. Figures wont lie;" but, Oh,
Lord how this world is given TO lying!
