DeSmet News-Leader: The milk
receipts al the creamery last Satur-
day were 1850 pounds. This Is a
lot of milk for this season Of the year
and shows to- what extent our people
are going into dairying. The weekly
receipts are increasing at the rate of
1900 pounds = week.
1riqnois Chief: If there Is one
thing the Chief revels in more than
another, it is figures. Statistics are
dry but won't lie. Now here are a
few figures on the Iriquois creamery
for tue year 1895. During the year
stated the creamery took in 2,9l5,-
4SG pounds Of milk; it made and
sold 12s,7S6 pounds of butter; it
paid s3.350.02 for freight and COM
mission and paid the patrons sls,-
037.9s for milk; distributed 5000
more among our people for salaries
aud goods. 1t will do even better
in 1896.
Do not think that it is necessary
for a farmer to live near enough to a
creamery to AXE milk to it liz order
to receive a benefit from the cream
cry industry. There is not an acre
of land in Kingsbury county that IL
not worth from one to Eve dollars
more since the creameries were built.
There is not a farmer in the county
that has not been benefited a good
many dollars worth by this industry
10 matter how far he lived from a
creamery. or whether or not he ever
saw u of the plants. Every COW
he has and every calf, toe, Is worth
nearly double what ]. vas q wear ago.
If he has anything in the stock line
to sell he is Qre of getting a good
price in cash for it, for the farmers
who do patronize the creamery want
more stock and they have the money
to pay for it.-News Leader DeSmet.
The Hawarden creamery company
handled during the year 1895, 2,l43,-
9u2 lbs. of milk aud the total cash
receipts were si6,25i.i7 Of which
sl2,nS2.72 went into the pockets of
the farmers The Hawarden indie
pendent says OF this creamery: lit
brings the farmer money in a season
OF the year when he has nothing else
to sell. and the Hawarden creamery
brings the farmers money at all sea
sous of the year, as it has never
closed its doors since the first wagon
load of milk, as fresh as the mountain
dew and as fragrant as new mown
hay, was turned into the watts. over
four years ago. This creamery has
been a great benefit to both the
farmers and the business mea.
During the summer months business
men often find it bari to meet their
obligations because OF q scarcity of
money among their farm customers.
hight here Is where the j.
a benefit To the business men as we'll
as the farmers. 1t enables farmers
'o bug for cash and gives business
men funds with which to { their
obligations. The creamer, is a
mutual benefit to botlI country and
town.
The same IS true OF the Canton
creamery and the farmers and hu-i-
n.ss men here should work together
as they do at Hawarleu and brinr
profit 10 bosb.-Sioux Valley News.
ANA this is practically the same re-
port that comes from eyrrg part of
tie state where there j. a creamery.
Way don't the business men and
farmers of Webster and vicinity get
"a work, establish = creamery and
eEjot the benefits mentioned above
bet a move on Won gentlemen, now
