ped this would make about thirty car
loads. The best tables in Topeka never
know any butter but Primrose. It goes
both east and west, and comes into
competition with the renowned Elgin
brands of butter, and has no difficulty
in competing with them successfully. 1t
is not at all unlikely that President Nc
Kinley eats Primrose every day, as it
goes to many of the large cities of the
east, and westward it goes to the coast
And the day is not far distant when
Kansas Primrose butter will be known
beyond the seas. 1t would not be at all
unlikely if, before many months have
passed, Queen Victoria should say,
please pass the Primrose" as she sits
morning, and when she once eats Prim-
rose she will have no other.
The company has made preparations
to largely increase its business. The
capacities of its creameries are 400, 900
pounds per month, and it can cater to
a big trade on account of its system of
concentration, excellent shipping facili-
ties, good rates, and because Kansas,
with its almost unlimited resources for
the production of milk,-excellent eli
mate, the best of feed and good stock
is fast becoming the best dairy state in
the Union.
But with the increasing demand for
our product, said Mr.. Nissley, the sec
rotary of the company, to a Journal re-
porter, we are confronted with the
problem of getting more territory from
which to draw milk and cream sup
plies. If there is any community in the
state that does not have access to a
creamery or skimming station, or if
there is an idle skimming station, or a
creamery with not sufficient patronage
to justify its continuance but which
would make a good skimming station,
we would be glad to correspond with
interested parties.''
In speaking of the growth Of the
dairying idea among the farmers Of
Kansas, Mr.. Nissley said:
HRpinniT1pr n I,oE
farmers and producers ought to be ed
ucated up to where milk can be pro-
duced at a still greater profit to farm
ers. They should study the best meth
DDS of feeding, and raise such feed as
is best adapted to our climate and con-
ditiOnS. They should also improve their

in the manufacture of that important
edible since you were a boy, when it
was your weekly duty to work the
churn dasher until the butter ''came?''
Do you remember how you used to hate
churning day, and how it made your
back ache, and how the churning was
always ready just when you wanted to
go fishing or somewhere else?
Until within recent years the making
of butter was a matter of no conse-
quence to the average farmer. He
generally kept a few poor cows who re-
ceived little attention and care, and

farmer. BY this system one churning
station can handle the cream from sew
eral counties. It is economical in the
extreme and enables the creamery COM
pany to pay the farmer a high price for
his butter fat.
There are still some farmers in nearly
every community, even adjacent to
skimming stations, who cling to the old
way of making butter. They belong TO
the non progressive class and because
they do not understand how to secure
the best results from furnishing milk
to creameries, they decline to learn, hut
keep or using the same old method that
their forefathers used. The creamery
lessons the labor of the farmers family,
and at the same time increases its in
come. The Kansas Creamery company
pays some of the farmers who furnish
it milk $40, $50, and even $50 per month.
The progressive farmers are engaging
moro and more in the dairy business.

should be made whereby the innocent
consumer shall know when he is eating
oleomargarine, and to bring this about
the coming legislature will be asked to
pass a law prohibiting ''o1eo" manu-
facturers from using coloring matter an
their product. Such a law exists in
Missouri, and is demanded in the in
terest of pure food in Kansas.
The operators employed by the Kan
sas Creamery company as butter max
erS arc graduates of a dairy school-men
who have studied the science of making
butter the same as the lawyer studies
law or the physician studies medicine.
They know just how to get the best re-
suits from the cream which they re-
celVe and understand the Importance
of cleanliness in order that the butter
may keep well and be perfectly health
full. 1t was the skin of these butter
makers that enabled the product of the
KANSAS CREAMERY COMPANY to
take the FIRST PRIZE at the recent
conv ention of the Kansas State Dairy
association in competition with 100
other exhibitors, scoring 81 points out
of possible 100. In Analysing the var
ious features which make up the score,
the body, cOlOring, sailing and style Of
packing were pronounced perfect by the
judges.
The Topeka plant is but one of four
operated by the Kansas Creamery COM
pany, the others being at Bel1eville, En-
poria and Wichita, and these four
cTeaneries receive milk from forty
Skimming stations, which are scattered
oyer the state, and one of them is across
the line in Colorado and another in Ne
braska- 1t is the Skimming station sYs-
tenn which has enabled the company to
make the success it has in the past two
years. With this system it is not neces-
Sa1X to maintain expensive churning
apparatus, a butter maker and a lot of
assistants in every community. A
skimming station answers the purpose
just as we'll; all the machinery it re-
qUires is a separator and the necessary
power to run it, and one man attends 10
the entire business. The skimming sta
ticn is of just as much value to the
farmers contiguous to it as a creamery
WCuId be. They deliver their milk to the
station, it goes through the separator,
the cream is shipped to the churning
station, while the milk goes back 10 the

or, and degree of strength. It was a
Heterogeneous mass, good and bad
thrown in together, and in a short time
all became alike, bad. The customer
had his pick of the assortment, but at
the best it was a hard looking and worse
smelling lot. Sometimes when the pri-
ces We're too low in the summer to suit
the farmers wife, she packed the but
ter away in jars and when cold weather
came she rewOrked it and then sold it
for fresh butter
The advent of the creamery has
changed all this to a great degree. Now
the progressive farmer who is in reach
of creamery or skimming station
counts his herd of cows as one of his
chief sources of profit. He pOurs the
milk into the creamery cans, loads them
into his wagon, and that ends the work
so far as he is concerned, unless he
wants to haul the skim milk home again
to his hogs. At the end of a month a
given quantity of milk has yielded him
a far greater revenue than it did under
the old system, and his wife has been
saved a vast amount of work.

CREAMERY COMPANY at 523 jack

ton to those who are unacQuainted with
the modern methods of butter making.

known to the dairy world.
Although butter making has been car
ried to such a degree of perfection, even
the best butter is initiated successfully
in color and general appearance, by the
oIeumargarine manufacturers, and the
innocent consumer who sits at the hotel
or boarding house table, and who never
sees the alleged butter until it reaches
the table, eats on in blissful ignorance
of the fact that he may be consuming

part of it which is not shipped in from

New York Physicians Declares Their
Antitoxin Remedy a Success.

New York, Dec. 2.-Of three cases CT
1ock-jaw occurring in and near the city
within a few weeks, the Pasteur insti-
tute doctors, at 319 West Twenty-third
street, claim to have cured two.
one Of the cases was at Passaic, N J.,
in which antitoxin was injected into the
patients brain, and he recovered The
other case of recovery occurred in
Brooklyn.
The third case resulted fatally, a.
though antitoxin was injected into the
patients brain. He had been for forty
eight hours in commissions, but almost
INN ediately after the injection was
made the patient showed signs OF i'm
provement. The commissions stopped
at once. However, the man had lost
all his strength in battling the disease
during the preceding two days and at
noon Friday he died.
DIR. Gibier of the Pasteur institute
says he believes the patient could have
been saved had the antitoxin treatment
been applied earlier. He was a dying
man when treated and yet the injections
greatly relieved him
La the Brooklyn case the sufferer had
lost complete control Of the muscles Of
the throat. The antitoxin was employed
a1d the patient fully recovered.
