young bloods as to who could drink the
greatest amount Of this product OF the
creamery. The winner came under the
wire with eight cups-about a gallon-
but alas, he was Immediately moved to

Eagle Grove, Uowal Eagls:-In an in
terVleW with a farmer Yesterday we
learned he was hauling oats eleven
miles to town and selling them for 10
cent per bushel. New oats could be
contracted at only Z cents. Upon our
suggestion that he would find dalrying
more profitable, he said he was milking
twenty cows and taking the milk to a
cooperative separator creamery and get
ting III cents per pound for his butter,
and that a COW could not be bought in
his ne%ighborhood for less than $50.
with stock steers selling Off grass at
$3.50, COWS at $50 and butter at II cents
per pound, the farmer should not be slow
to grasp the situation. Exclusive grain
raising always, and in all states, has

and dairying on the creamery system al
ways brings sure and fair remuneration.
The successful farmer OF the future will
convert everything produced upon his
farm into meat and butter.
