The Patronage Immense and TIL
Machinery Fine.
The Redwood Falls Creamery AS
ISOLATION opened up for business wit
great deal of enthusiasm last Mon
day morning.
Supt. Graham was on hand brigh
= and early and at seven o'clock hat
the machinery all ready for operation
The first farmers to put in appearance
were ex-County Treasurer A. A. Will
son and Thos March with from 80 t.
200 pounds of milk each. Then thu
team of D. w. Banker, hurry Warner
and VIM. Brewster lined up in front
of the creamery and deposited three
different lots of milk, weighing from
SO to 200 pounds each. The Nc
Douglas, Henry Lance and Herman
Glum were the next to appear at the
dump and by this time the separator
was put to work and after little adj
justing the process of separation was
being perfectly carried on.
Secretary Dornberg, Thos. March
and hurry Warner remained around
the creamery all day long assisting in
the start which always requires more
help than after the patrons become
used to the workings of the concern.
The machinery worked perfectly and
Supt. Graham found it only necessary
to watch the receiving and the pumps
leading to the separator and the skim
milk vat. AS soon as the patrons emp
tied their milk they drove around to
the west side of the creamery where
Secretary Dornberg and Mr.. March
directed them as to the quantity of
skinned milk they would be allowed,
which is about four-fifths of the
amount of milk they bring to the
creamery.
No tests were made Monday morn
ing but Supt. Graham took milk for
that purpose on Tuesday morning.
The creamery is undoubtedly one
of the finest in Minnesota. The ma
chinery is all modern and is arranged
in manner that must afford neatness
and dispatch. On the south side the
milk is received, leaving the patron to
pass into the weighing scale, where,
after it is weighed, it passes into the
milk vat. From there it is pumped
into the temperature tank and from
there it passes through pipe into the
Alpha separator, which, makes 1000
revolutions per minute and separates
the cream from the milk, the former
passing into the cooling vat and the
latter pumped into tank on the west
side of the creamery building where
the farmers secure their skinned
milk. They are then prepared to go
home.
The cream watts are easily connected
with the churn and butter worker,
Minnesota contriyance made by the
Owatonna Manufacturing Co. and un
doubtedly one of the best arrange
ments OF the kind ever invented. The
creamery has a refrigerator and sup
ply room and is in every way equipped
for successful butter making.
The power is received from ten
horse power engine of the latest type,
which pulls the machinery around
with the greatest of ease.
On behalf of the management The
GAZETTE bespeaks for the new concern
the cordial and unanimous support
of all farmers. By a united effort the
creamery will be the best paying in
stitution in Redwood county. Prompt
action will do much to encourage
greater support and the larger the
support now the more the certainty
that it will continue to grow larger
and that all patrons will be better
pleased.
The receipts for Monday we're in
the neighborhood of 5000 pounds of
milk from patrons of the Redwood
creamery alone. In the afternoon
Supt. Treadwell of the Delhi separat-
ing station came down with the cream
and reported that the milk receipts
for Monday were about 900 pounds.
He said that as soon as farmers could
secure cans that figure would be
doubled every day. The same can be
said of the main institution.
