Creameries are Prosperous.
| commissioner McConnell's agitation
IN favor OF the establishment OF
cheese factories in the northwestern
part OF the state has resulted in
large increase, not in the number OF
cheese factories, but of the number
of creameries in the state.
In the majority of places where the
project of a cheese factory was
preached the farmers went further
and subscribed for creamery, al
though number of them established
| cheese factories.
The reports collected by the depart
ment thus far show an increase OF
thlrty-1ive 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.

minutes, he got good shot at the
bear.
