"A creamery has been started i'm Sa

Editor Robertson, of the GaIIati,
Democrat, as if in very proof of tb,
foregoing item, prints the following
which is simply the experience of ever,
creamery established in this state:-
"A meeting OF the stockholders o.

Whlle III operation. This was due TO
the high price paid for milk, the
management being inexperienced, the
running expenses heavy, owing to lack
OF water and ice and the products
bringing low price. The directors
were instructed to borrow money and
pay on the Indebtedness and to lease the
establishment Oh the best terms possible
Ii Is possible that it will be running
again in short time"
The fooIishness of the Iowa peddlers
OF creamery machinery ought 10 be
stopped.
The editor of the Hamilton News
Graphic thus sings the praises of the
champion pumpkin-raiser Of the world:
"John Robinett, who resides on his
larin four miles west of town, is mn.
doubtedly the champion pumpkinraiser
OF the state, if not OF the United States.
Two years ago he raised pumpkin that
weighed 2l0 pounds, with which he
captured the $50 prize offered by VIM.
