A NEW CREAMERY
BuckIin Makes Move i'm Right
Direction.
WILL HELP THE FARMERS
Of That Vicinity. and Will Add
Materially to Wealth OF
County.
WILL HELP THE FARMERS

1t is generally observed that the farmer
who has something to sell every day in
the year is the one who eventually has
the best improvements, the biggest bank
account, and who is able to retire from
hard labor earliest in life. In every
county in Kansas where the farmers
make business of selling milk, butter,
eggs and poultry extensively, the people
in the county are in prosperous condi-
ton, and the towns have good trade.
There is much interest being taken in
Ford county in the creamery and poultry
business just at present and this interest
should be encouraged. A few hundred
more of farmers working upon smaller
scale and giving more attention to eggs,
poultry and milk would make a vast
change in Ford county, and would help
Dodge City wonderfully.
The latest step in this direction in this
county has been made at BuckHn. In
response to request by the GLOBE RE-
PUBLICAN, one of the prominent business
men of that place has written the follow
ing for this paper regarding the new en-
terprise there:
Building & Manufacturing Co. of Chica-
go, H., sent a representative here for the
purpose of canvassing the situation with
| a view to establishing at this point a
combination butter factory with ammo
MIA cold stora ge, to be built the CO.
operative plan.
Mr.. G. Il. Hamilton, their agent. secured
sixty four shares at 800 per share.
| The net cost of the plant being $4,000,
this leaves a surplus of $1,000 for the
stock holders. The territory embraced
| in the deal covers a radius of about
twenty miles square and includes several
stock holders north of the river. The
contract for building supplies has been
closed and work is to begin at once or
the plant. S. D. Aulls furnishes the
lumber, G. F. Trager the hardware aud
| Or. Fannon the paint. All laborers viii
be employed here except the boss carpen
| ter.
| The capacity of the plant Will be the
product of about 900 average cows an6
| it is estimated that about 500 have beer
secured for starter The plant is to bt
equipped with De Laval separator with
capacity of 5000 pounds of milk al
hour, Ammonia cold storage, ca
pacity of one and one half tons. combi-
nation churn and butter worker, capacity
800 gallons, receiving vat holding 4ot
gallons, twin cream vats holding 2ot
gallons each, horizontal engine II hors'
power and horizontal boiler Is horse
| power. an automatic skim milk weighel
| and babcock tester, and all pipes ant
fvalves to complete first class butte
factory.
| About so per cent of the skinned mill
| will be steriized and returned to the pat
ron. We had the honor of meeting tn
vice president D. @. Williams and th
secretary J. A. Woodbury. both of whom
by their pleasing address and conserva
tive presentation of the matter left
very favorable impression of the com
panys' chief officers
With proper management. a sufficien
number of cows, and harmonious actor
of the stock holders we firmly believe
will be an unqualified success, a stead
source of revenue and direct benefit {
all classes of business and trade and tn
success OF the enterprise will be material
Iy enhanced by the establishment of au
xialiary skimming stations in ajacen
towns. This is the first plant to be es
ia blished on the Rock Island by thi
company and it is believed every effoI
will be made to carry this deal to a sue
| cessful issue @. F. Hamilton who con
| sumated the deal is energetic an
tireless worker and is deserving of grea
credit He goes to Wilson, Kansa
from this place.
