BOGUS CREAMERY OPERATIONS.

The Rural NetU Yorker has had more or
less to say about the oper atoms of certain
firm at Chicago that deals in creamery sup
plies. 1t is represented by agents who work
after the plan of the old bohemian Oats"
fraud. That is to say, they tell great stories
of what may be done in the dairy business,
if all the conditions are Just right, neglect
ing to tell the farmers any of the obstacles
to success that they know are in the way :.
The result in many cases is that the farmers
buy creamery for more than it is worth
and then lose it, because they have not milk
enough to run it at profit. Here is letter
from one who has been through the milan
Illinois farmer who bought an elephant:
"Tvs no doubt it seems incomprehensible
to sensible men how lot of farmers or of
any other class could be taken in by firm
doing business in this manner. Indeed l
am fully as much astonished myself now as
any one else could be. The whole thing was
worked up in so short time while we were
| expecting a more complete and definite
set of specifications to be drawn that the
name were all signed before we got very
"We farmers are so accustomed to dealing
with each other without contracts or writ
ings of any kind that we hardly thought
about what was needed. Our committee
we're taken to Chicago and shown through
|
Germ, which were run in business-like way,
and to creameries around EIgin where they
were told the cost of the plants ranged from
$1,000 to $12, 900, and that the profits of the
business had enabled the owners to pay the
debt in one or two years, and they were then
paying from 25 to 40 per cent dividends
They we're also introduced to farmers who
were very enthusiastic and reported that
they were making from S. to 50 per month
per head on herds of 20 to 80 COWS, etc
Then we inquired the cost of some of the
nearest creameries and we're told that one
eight miles away cost $4,000, SO we con
cluded we were getting ours at reasonable
figure, But our main fault lay in not hav-
| ing the building and machinery examined
by an expert before accepting them. None
of US knew what we ought to have and wler
we came to operate the plant, we found the
l5-horse- power engine and 80 horsepower
boiler, for which we paid $500, were not pm
up properly and the refrigerator, etc., were
of no use in the shape they were left, and il
cost us $500 more in time, worry and ex
pense to get them in shape. A committee
went to see that firm last summer, and aftel
much figuring and twisting they succeeded
in worrying them into giving Us rebate oi
nearly 300.
II am told that they have in their pay
certain clique of farmers and creamery mer
to tell fine stories to the committees they
bring around. We had to drill A we'll at I;
cost of $140, build an ice house and fill it a
a cost of $500, buy another separator fo
$3.50, and there have been other expenses t
the amount of 81 200, which we still owe a
the end of our first years experience. W,
were fortunate to secure frst-class butter
maker at $50 per month, which helped n
out. Here is our last seasons work.

Big Increase of Pensions.

The pensions in Ohio increased 4,755 dur
ing the month of August. while only 16 we're
dropped from the rolls. The number of
original pensions enrolled during the month
was 237; number restored II. The large in
crease shown was caused principally by the
transfer from the Washington agency to
Ohio of large number of Dayton Home in
mates. This report of the pension agent at
Columbus ought to stop the political howl
about the discontinuance of pensions.
