{ There are some big cooperative cream
cries in Iowa, Notwithstanding the fact
that the number of creameries OF this
kind Is not large compared with the

Of the largest cooperative plant in the
state:

from Aurora county, headed by ex-Sher-
id William Nolan and Commissioner
james Donegan, came to Bloomington,
lifted the machinery and engine house
OF the creamery onto their wagons and

suspended later operations.
I The Clark creamery makes one Of the
very best showings for 1900 that we have
seen. as follows:
During the year Just closed, the cream.
cry handled 2, 1857 ,O37 p0unde II milk and
cream, from which was manufactured
l35,528 pounds OF milk and butter. We
distributed among our patrons $2l ,048.-
30, an increase Of over 5000 over last
wear. The operating expense, which In
cludes the purchase OF some new machin-
cry and the making OF repairs, amount
ed to $3 600. This is the beet record our
creamery has ever made, but we expect
to beat 1t this year.-C CLARK Courier.

worth Of business last year. It handled
| 1884, 1858 pounds Of milk.
