little queer that the farmers who were
most benefited by this system Of buy
Ing milk were the last ones to consent
to its adoption In the creamery.
As q rule, those who were the worst

comes self-evident, hence the readiness
with which 1t has been adopted. Then

Of water has been added to the milk.

increased it's fat content by fully 90

factories ranging from 80 to 65 cents

Advantages Of a Creamery.-hers
are many advantages to be derived
from the creamery plan. The first ID
that it increases the production. With

there is considerable loss Of fat, there
usually being from ten to twenty five
per cent left in the skim milk. The
best results in setting milk are OBJ
tanned only BY q liberal use Of ice.

conditions on most farms are not con.

creamery will get practically all the fat
out Of the milk. In the creamery sys-
TEN the butter is all made at one place
by q skilled butter maker, and is Of
O uniform and high quality, command
ing better price than can be obtained
for butter made In private dairy.
Another advantage of the creamery
is the less work required around the
house, in the care Of the milk, churn-
ing, working and marketing the butter.
Let all those interested in the project
hold meeting to discuss its advisa-
bility. All great reforms are worked
out slowly, and a number Of meetings
may be necessary. When all sides Of

the question have been thoroughly dis
cussed. adopt a constitution and by
laws, elect officers and begin the erec-
ton of q building. There are few
creamery companies who will do Ill
the work Of forming tho company,
erecting the building, equipping 1t
with the necessary machinery and turn
It over to the company ready to run.
Such creameries have not been gen.
orally successful. You can do all the
work Of organizing and building with
much less expense.
Salaried men, to organize the COM
pany with profit on the work and
equipment aggregate too great q cost
for the creamery to be profitable in
vestment for some time.
The usual plan In building coop
erative creamery Is not to have the
stakeholder pay cash for the stock sub
scribed, but to borrow the money, each
stakeholder being personally reliable
for the whole amount, and then create
q sinking fund to pay OF the indebted

Wheat has almost ceased to be Z

principal causes. Thus It 10 our farm,

During the past few years there has
been q very much greater interest
taken in fax as q crop for seed in the
Northwest than heretofore. The low
price Of wheat and other small grains,
and even the low price OF stock and
other products Of the diversified farm,
have caused the attentions Of .Ahs farm
ers to be turned toward anything that
would bring money. It has been gen
orally recognized that fax Is harder
on the land than Is wheat or, almost
any other crop but the larger amount
Of money per acre to be derived from
the fax crop has induced many farm
rs to SOW fax instead Of 90 much
wheat. This has been done in spite Of
the arguments for diversified farming
made by the powerful agricultural pa
pers Of the country, all Of which recog-

'sThe producers OF raw material can

those who produce goods that we can
