Cream Puffs



{ Cream Puffs y
The farmer who has cows coming
this fall is in luck. The butter
market for fine creamery is very firm
and steadily rising. and it is moro than
likely that fancy creamery butter will
go higher than for several years. 1t is
several cents above last years quotations
now. The principal reason for it is a
short supply-the receipts in New York
and Boston have been considerably less
than last year all summer long. notwith-
standing the large number OF new
creamerles built in the west. Many of
the eastern creameries have gone out of
business, being unable to compete with
the western dairyman. while others have
gone to making cheese. But possibly
the greatest factor In raising the price
of tine creamery butter Of late is this
prolonged drought in Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois and as far east as
Ohio. The drouth has ruined the pas.
lures throughout the dairying districts Of
these states andthe output OF the cream
cries has dropped fifty per cent. As
stated, the South Dakota farmer who has
some good mich COWS just at this time
is in a position to make them pay we'll.
This leads us TO remark that the kim
ball creamery is still doing a splendid
business. The milk receipts are holding
up remarkably well-about 10000 daily
double that Of last year-and the
creamery, with sc many new patrons
this season, should be able to command a
nice all winter long. 1t did business
right through the terrible billiards. and
deep SHOWS of last winter never miss.
ing y week-and with our ordinary win
ter weather the receipts of milk will be
ample to demonstrate how much more
profitable fall and winter dairying is.
And il the creamery gets this kind of a
run this winter there will be five farmers
milking cows another winter where
there is II now.
Mitchell Republican:-C.C c. Champeny,
a former merchant Of this city and now
engaged in the creamery business in
Wisconsin and having headquarters at
Milwaukee, IN writing to the Republic
can. says in reference to the creamery
business: "This has been a very dry
season for this state. Farmers tell me
here that if it was not for the creameries
they would surely suffer this winter, but
as it is they all have a nice little sum
coming in every month. We are looking
Tor big prices for creamery butter this
winter. This will pay the South Dakota
farmers to look a head and get some
warm sheds and take good care of their
cows in the winter. We hear a great
many encouraging remarks about South
Dakota this fall and it certainly looks as
though the state is going to have a bright
future"
Patrons OF the creamery who "lay off"
for a few weeks while haying or thresh-
ing will wish they had gotten their milk
in. Some OF course have no way of get
ing the milk to the factory, but those
who can do so will miss IL il they don't.
Under tho head OF "a World Beaten"
we find this item from the Flandreau
Enterprise:
Milk from the COW owned by Geo. Rice
was submitted to a test this week, and
gave a result of 5 SLIGO. This is an
extraordinary good showing, there hay-
ing been but n COW at the worlds fair
in the international contest making so
good a record. The test was made at
the Flandredu creamery.
Brown Bessie, the prize Jersey In the
worlds fair test, scored as high as 8:2O
one day. The country is filled with Jer-
sey's that will test better than the Elan
dreau COW. The writer's Jersey tested
better than six all last fall. The test
made by the Flandreau COW is high
and much above the average, but it is
nothing extraordinary.
The creamery paid off for August
milk Tuesday. The amount paid out
was a trife short OF $4,000. Tho price
paid for 4 per cent milk was 60 cents
6 cents higher than last mOnth-and II
cents for butter fat.
The crea merry patrons arc highly
pleased withsthelr checks for August
milk.
Chamberlain Journal:-John Smit Ii
who lives eight miles south of Kimball
In Highland township, is milking forty
two cows this summer and the milk is
sold to the Kimball creamery. Mr..
Smith received $50 as a return for his
milk for the month of August, making
an average of S2.14 for each COW. With
a careful selection Of COWS. ard good
care there is no reason why this average
could not be kept up for nins months in
the year, making a return of over $40 a
COW.
