Waverly (A1inn.9 Tribune:-Edward
Cheyalier, of Glencoe, has purchased the
LA Belle farm. 1856 acres, for $2.90o. and
will occupy it at once. Mr.. Chevaliar
has just sold farm near Glencoe and
sold a share of creamery stock with it,
and the first thing he did when locating
here was to purchase a share in the
Waverly creamery. lie has been a
patron of a creamery and knows the adj
vantage of owning stock.
Plankint0n Standard;-vIn a letter to
this Office, II. A. Hoton of Bryon, MINI.
says that they have a creamery there,
and that there is nothing which will
give a farmer moro ready money. He
further states that one farmer, last year,
from l6 COWS sold $500 worth OF milk.
The localities in which creameries can
be prodtably constructed are extremely
limited, owing to the high price of land
on which to handle the cows, while the
demand for high grade butter comes
from all oyer the country and even from
abroad.
Tho Huron creamery made S2,S5S
pounds OF tutter last season in nine
months and paid ous to its patrons ST.
641.92 for milk. The Huronite publishes
a long list of farmers who have prolte''
by the creamery together with the
amount of milk each delivered and the
amount of cash received. One farmer
drew 1854, ..another S4l4, several over
$500 and dozens of them $3.50 each.
The effect of the establishment OF
creameries ia this county has been most
decided on the price OF cows. Three
years ago cows here were worth from
ST. to $50 and today they are worth just
about double-from $35 to $40. This
increase has come about at a time when
| general prices have been going down,
and is only oae more indication Of the
benefits Of the establishment Of creamer-
les. The farmers were a little doubtful
at first OF the value of creameries to
them, but all who have had experience
very soon change their views and be-
come enthusiastic champions Of the
creamery. An illustration Of this is
given bv the present attitude Of the
farmers about New Hope. Last August
the creamery there vas destroyed by fire
and the farmers feel the loss so much
that they have subscribed $3.50 for the
reconstruction OF the plant. The far
mers in that part of the county think
they cannot get along without q cream
cry now, whereas three years ago they
had but little use for 1t. This county
now Inns five creameries.- Sioux Falls

Most cooperative creanleries aim to
pay a dividend of 10 per cent on the
capital stock. With majority of them
S cents on each hundred pounds OF milk
received il set aside as a sinking fund
for the payment Of this dividend aud
taxes, insurance, repairs. etc. 1t will
thus be seen that the farmer who holds
$50 in stock would-with a 10 per cent
diyident-receiye IS annually on his
stock In addition to his pro ratio share of
the butter receipts.
Chamberlain Democrat:-Kimball is
making an earnest effort to secure a
creamery. We hope she will be success
full. as such institutions are capable of
doing the county a wonderful amount of
! good. Astock county like Brute is well
able to support two first-class creamer-
les.
