of milk that could be obtained from
the farms within radius Of 10 miles
from GoOdland. Frank Robinson, of
the Chicago Lumber company, was
made chairman, and Postmaster Viii
liam Walker, secretary. After discuss
ing the matter it was decided that the
best way to ascertain the amount of
milk that could be procured was to ap-
point committee to thoroughly can
Vass the proposed territory, and acting
thereon the chairman appointed the
following committee, assigned to the
different divisions following their
names: G. L. Calvert, 8-38; w. E. Dus-
tin, 9-38: William Walker, s 38; @. M.

art and John Book, the north half of

A standing committee was also APP
pointed, composed of Frank Robinson,
William Walker and g. L. Calvert, to
investigate the methods of Creameries,
and failing to secure the Burlow, to
make arrangements for another The
meeting then adjourned until Monday
evening when the committees are to
report. Everybody is invited to attend
this meeting, and especially farmers
who are interested.
A creamery is as necessary to sue
cessful agriculture as are mills to grind
wheat, or even more so, as a better pro-
tit is made from milk than from grain
raising. The prevailing creamery price
for milk is about 70 cents per hundred,
the skim milk being returned. The
average COW will bring in a revenue of
about 81 per month or an average of
500 for the year.
The mildness of the climate and the
nutritiVeness Of the native grasses
gives the western farmers a big advan-
tage over their eastern competitors in
the matter of dairying, and if dairying
is profitable in the east, it will be more
so here, and it is hoped that the farm
eFs Of the county will cooperate With
the business men of Goodland in secur-
ing creamery. 1t is understood, also,
that while the creamery is to be sit
uated in Goodland, and to handle all
milk within 10 miles, seperators are
also to be put in at different parts of
the county, and the cream sent to the
creamery where the churning will be
done, This being the case, it is to the
interest of every farmer in the county
to lend his efforts TO the good work.
