Creamery Items.

Saturday was IN encouraging day at
the creamery from the fact that over
500 pounds more of milk was received
than any previous day since opening the
institution for The winter campaign
Volga Tribune.
The milk receipts at the creamery
last Saturday were 1866 pounds. This
is a lot OF milk for this season Of the
the year and shows to what extent our
people are going into dairying. The
weekly receipts are increasing at a rate
Of 1900 poundsa week. Keep it coming.

j. A. Fuller has the best kind of reason
for believing that the creamery business
pays. Seven cows paid him 1862 last
month. Mr.. Fuller says, though, that
cows don't take care Of themselyes-they
have to BIO taken care of, and good care
at that, aud the better care they get til e
better they pay.-Mllbank Review.
Secretary Cross Of the Spring Valley
creamery being asked bv a reporter Of
the Daily Leader what was new in the
creamery line, replied: 81 don't know
unless it be the fact that in the eastern
market New York state butter brings
26ll5 cents while we get % cents" How
do you account for this, we asked. II
can't account for it, only that it is
Dakota Madison leader.
Ii there is one thing the Chief revels
in more than another. it is figures. Sta
tistics arc dry--but they won't lie. Now
here are a few figures on the Iroquois
creamery for the year 1895. During the
year stated the creamery took in 1885,
4S6 pounds Of milk; it made and sold
1913, 7s6 pounds OF butter; itpaid S3.35O.O2
for freight and commission and paid the
patrons $lS,037.97 for milk; distributed
$1,000 more among III people for snla-
ries and goods. 1t will do even better in
1S96.-Iroquois Chief.
Nine out of ten Of the creameries that
have been run as private enterprises
have proven a izzle, while every cream
cry so far as we can learn, which has
been run on the cooperative plan has
been a success. Aspecial to the Mime
apol1s Journal from Iowa Falls, Iowa,
dated Jan. 25, 1896, says: "lt is becom-
ing more and more evident each year
that the only successful creameries in
this section are those operated on the
cooperative plan. Individuals and COM
panies have tried a number in this Sec
tion and signally failed, while those on
the other basis do a big business and
seem to prosper. Several on the CO.
operative basis will be started in the
spring and the most prominent farmers
are backing she projects.-Brookings
individual.
Careful comparison Of various cream
cry statements from Iowa with those of
this ncighborhocd prove that the milk
from tho wild grasses on our open
prairies, where the COW this 23rd day of
January is still grazing, is richer In
butter fat than that of the best fed COW
of that state. 1t seems incredible but
the record shows it. From the same
number Of pounds Of milk the Dakota
creamery produces more and better
butter. The Dakota creamery pays its
patrons more per hundred pound for the
milk, and pays higher prices for the
creamery labor. and still returns more to
the stockholders. To put it this way:
We pay more for the milk, more for the
labor, more for the capital and yet make
butter at less cost than the Iowans do;
while we make better butter, as the
market record shows.-Huronite.
