Creameries are Prosperous.
Commissioner McConnell's agitation
i'll favor of the establishment Of
cheese Factories III the northwestern
part OF the state has resulted in a
large increase, not in the number of
cheese factories, but of the number
Of creamerles in the state.
In the majority of places where the
project of cheese factory was
preached the farmers went further
and subscribed for creamery, al
though a number of them established
cheese factories
The reports collected by the depart
ment thus far show an increase of
thlrty-tive creameries in the state last
year. The county having the largest
increase was Winona county, where
three wars ago there were no cream
cries. That county is now in a way
to take leading place among the
dairy counties of the state.
The output of butter this year will
be largely an increase over that of
last year, according to B. D. White,
the commissions dairy and cheese ex-
pert. Conditions this year were ia
vorable and the market for butter en-
couraged large productions.
Killed Bear.
A huge brown bear was shot and
killed by a 16-year-old boy at the east
end Of the boulevard in Duluth.
This is the sixteenth bear killed in
side the city limits within the last
two weeks.
Matthew Mannheim, son of alder
man Joseph Mannheim, was practicing
with rife when he was startled by
bear numbering along toward him
The boy, picking up his gun,
climbed tree.
After what seemed hours to young
Mannheim, but in reality only few
minutes. he got a good shot at the
bear.
Taking careful aim the boy fired,
the bullet entering the animals
throat, death resulting almost in
stantly.
