A year ago the first steps were taken
towards the establishment of a cream
cry at Princeton. It required some
hard work to get the farmers inter
ested. Suffice it to say that Davis &
Rankin built the creamery, and Mr.. C.
H. Chadbourne, by the unanimous vote
Of the stockholders, was elected man
ager and secretary. For a time it was
uphill work The farmers kicked on
the Fairlamb system of cans and
growled about the low prices paid for
cream, although not one in ten of them
could dispose of his butter at ten cents
cash per pound. But Mr.. Chadbourne
was the right man in the right place;
buoyed up by the directors he forged
steadily ahead and instructed and en-
cOuraged the farmers. The first ship
ment of butter from the creamery was
.s,a,en ouneed firstzclass, By eastern ex77
| perts, and to-day the butter turned out
from the Princeton creamery ranks
with the best far-famed Elgin brands
and commands equally as good prices.
For the five months preceding the
first of April 20cts per test gauge was
paid for cream at the Princeton cream
ery-more than was paid at any other
creamery in the State-and the supply
of cream was less than Is per cent. of
what could have been proftably handled.
But the farmers are catching on'' and
next fall and winter they will have
more cream to sell. To-day, Is cents is
being paid at the creamery, and 16
cents on the routes. How many farm
ers realize 16 cents cash per pound for
their butter at their own homes? Last
month three small farmers of this
county received over $50 each for
cream. They were paid cash, too
Fifty dollars per month is quite an in.
come for small farmer. Think Of the
amount of labor required to produce
$50 worth of butter on a small farm ir
a month. The farmers wives anc
daughters have reason to bless the
creamery. Then again, farmers should
remember that $50 worth of cream nov
is worth $75 in the fall and winter
Farmers, provide proper food for YOU
cows in the fall and winter and have
some cream to sell when it pays to sci
it. ..@. -. -.
Notwithstanding all the drawbacks
that a new enterprise has to contend
with, the Princeton creamery will pa.
dividend to it's stockholders of ten PEI
cent the first year of it's existence
For this result the stockholders are in
debted to the able and conservative
, management of Mr.. Chadbourne, ant
the skill of Mr.. Madison, the exper
butter-maker employed by the cream
cry. .-..~
The writer has used Princeton
' creamery butter in his family since tn
first churning, and up to the presen
writing can truly say it has been first
, class in every respect-always lin
favored, fine-grained and absolutel
free from impurities.
Hon. r. A. Walsh, Of ST. Paul
writes:

Hon. G. G. Hartley, Of Duluth, says
Princeton Creamery butter takes tn
cake. It cannot be excelled. | am nc
surprised that it commands fame
