JOLLY FELLOWS, THEY.
Bad Firms That Buy Butter and
Cheese at High Prices.
Cror,, sc furdo We Do;1v


minnesota creameries and cheese fac
tories lost thousands of dollars last sum-
mer through INSCRIPTIONS agents and
commission firms" said w. w. P. Nc
Cennell, state dairy and food commits
sioner. 81 have just received word that
the Leeston Cheese Factory Association
of Todd County has been unable to col
lect $3.50 from commission firm pur-
porting to be doing business in the twin
cities. Not long ago man, who said ne
was representative of Brooklyn firm,
swindled several creameries in the state
out of more than 1000. A little later
an agent purporting to represent Chi
cago firm got away with good deal of
money.
"The representatives of these firms
have very smooth way of doing bust
ness. They approach the buttermaker
by telling him what excellent butter he
makes. They say it is the best they
have ever seen; that it is just what they
have been looking for, and that their EN-.
ployers will give from a half to cent
a pound more than the market price
The buttermaker is pleased by the com
pliments and readily contracts to con
sign butter to the firms headquarters
The butter is shipped, bills are sent t.
3 the firm in rapid succession, but no re
plies are received
Mr. Mcconnell is considering the ad
visibility of establishing credit bureau
in connection with the state dairy AM
food department. He will make arrange
ments to secure from a mercantile
agency reports on commission house
whose credit is questioned and furnis
the information free to Minnesota butter
makers and cheesemakers.-St Paul Pic
