More About Condenoed MIX Plant
The new condenced milk factory of
which an account was printed In this
paper last week is TO be thing Of much
more importance to the farmers OF this
vicinity than was supposed, The meet
ing held at the court house last Satur-
day called by the creamery people was
fairly well attended and the people that
they wanted TO meet were the ones pres
ent, namely the dairymen, The meet.
ing was enough Of success that 1t in
sures the plant for this town and active
operations are now going on prepara
tory to setting up the machinery as soon
as It arrives which will be within the
next two weeks, The rooms have been
cemented, new we'll has been put in
and a large new boiler is ready to set
up. II cannot be determined just how
much time will be required to set up the
machinery and get 1t all adjusted ready
for work, but the managers think that II
there are no unusual delays they should
be receiving milk for the condencer in
twenty days, Mr.. Dixon Of Milwaukee
who is to have charge Of this depart
ment Of the institution is now on the
ground and experimenting the putting
in OF the plant. Mr., Dixon says that
the company will pay about thirty-three
and one third per cent more for milk
for fhe condencer than they pay for
milk for butter. This will be a large
and important item for our farmers and
dairymen who live within access Of the
plant to remember. They wish to con-
tract for as much OF the milk from our
own farmers as possible. Fifteen thous-
and pounds of milk per day is the
amount they wish to contract for to start
with, They will be open to contracts
with our farmers till next Saturday, June
5th, after which time they will arrange
TO make up their supply from neighbor-
ing towns, So if any of our farmers
wish to furnish them milk they should
see them this week, Milk for condcns-
ing requires care and must be handled
according to the rules for il it contains
too much acid it cannot be used for this
purpose.
The claim is made that because of
condenced milk being sterili2ed and all
forms Of bacteria destroyed there will
be very much enlarged demand for it
from health considerations, especially
since it can be made without sweetenng.
So ii is expected that this department
will grow and other lines OF manufac-
ture which are closely connected with it
will be added, such as baby foods, and
ultimately the manufacture OF cream
caramels and other forms OF the choicest
cream candy, such as that made by
Gunther and Lowney.
The process as stated last week is
new one and il is also a secret one. Az
ter the plant is put in operation there
will be no one admitted to the principal
room. The process is kept secret be
cause its inventors have concluded l.
would be more profitable to keep it in
this way than to have it patented. There
will be eight or ten different treatments
OF the milk that is condemned, varying
according TO the kind of climate into
which it is TO be sent.
The proprietors seem to think they
nave an excellent thing both for them
selves and the farmers Of the commun-
ity who do not generally realize what at
great advantage it will be to them.
That it will be success none will doubt
that have watched the development Of
the large creamery business, This is
just such an institution as many places
get only by heavy bonuses, 1t is such
an institution as many citizens favor
securing for our city by that plan. We
have always believed that when con-
ditons are right for the successful de-
velopment Of an industry as a general
rule it will not need bonus TO secure it,
and If conditions are not right bonus
will not sustain it. But without discuss
ing that proposition we may say that
here is an industry coming without even
asking bonus, and it should be encour-
aged and well pattonized by all our citi-
