The farmers, strange as il may appear,
do not seem TO appreciate the boom
which they enjoy in the creamery estab-
liShed here in connection with the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station. I'm or
der for five hundred pounds of butter

that the farmers do not supply the
cream. All patrons Of the creamery
are realizing handsomely on their in-
vestmentS and have Increased the num-
Der of their cows until they cOnnot
keep more. The creamery has capacity
Of at least four times its present output,
and should be patroniZed by all thrifty
farmers, since aS the number of patrons
is increased the cost of production will
correSpOndingly decreased and the prof
its increased in proportion.
