A good single separator creamery
can be put in for $4,000. A creamery
of this kind will reduce from 5000 to
5000 pounds of milk per day, and seems
TO be quite popular. There are, how

Some people insist upon holding that
the Jersey cow is the best buttermaker
She undoubtedly is but there are GER
tain drawbacks about q jersey which
are not found in the shorthorns. 1t
seems to be the general verdict among
dairymen as whole that for general
dairy purposes the shorthorn gives the
best results.
The recent experience Of the farmers
in the vicinity of Little Falls with a
cheap creamery concern should be q
lesson to all the dairymen of the state.
The moral is 'patroniZe first-class con-
Germs" There are In st. Paul two of
the best equipped creamery Quitting
concerns in the Northwest. They have
put in nearly all the creameries in the
state.
After once becoming we'll established
in the creamery business, the question
arises, How can l cheaper the manu-
facture of my butter?" There is a
great field of possibilities in this, as
has been demonstrated by the owners
Of the 600 creameries in the state.
