THE NEW CREAMERY.
Practical Hints to the Pro-
spective Patrons.

Sank Lake Creamery Co. expects 10

been for some unavoidable delay In Sc
curing machinery, but we shall give
all due notice before we start, ana Wnen

Never have the prospects been any
brighter for dairying than it Is now
especially for farmers OF Mlnnes o'a'
The state has q reputation O making

makers even went over TO Europc

Mace from among several hundred en-
tries from all parts of the world. why
shouldn't he for in no part OF the worio
is the grass richer or the waters auS
nurer: besides we have excelleAS dairy
and food laws which, when ehlorceo'
compel patrons to bring d nrS'-cia''

rons think all they have to do is 'e'lV-
or milk at creamery or skim at nome
and bring cream whenever they happen
to come TO town or ship whenever they

Iatioos between the creamery ana pau

For instan, e. a patron who has a gooo
herd of dairy COWS and knows now 10

will be pleased, at any time to test
milk from individual COWS for any pat
rons who may desire to have thelr
COWS tested. So he may be able TO
Gull out the poor COWS of his herd.
The patrons expect tirst-class prices
IN return for their milk or cream based
m ton market-prices of butter. Now
tn do this we must have frst-class
article of milk and cream, for 1t Is I'M
possible to max frst-grade butter Oh
milk ar cream which has been tainted
or spoiled through negligence, or poor
feed and water. Consequently take

see that YOUR cans and separator are

milk or cream will spoil all with which
| it comes in contract. 1t was but re"

in southern Minnesota to obtain New
