A GREAT INJUSTICE

The Ne,r Era | believe would never
have written to Mr.. Chewing for infor-
nation had it known that Mr.. G. is the
superintendent OF the Borden Conden-
sory at New Berlin and bitterly fought
me while raising the stock for the plant
there; who ever gave the Era Mr.. Chew
ninq's address well knew Mr. Cs attitude
toward cooperation. The writer has
never said he was in the employ of the
Casien Co.; he has their contract in his
possession however, wherein they bind
themselves to pay the farmers in this vi
cinitv certain price for their product
if | organize company here, and to this
extent represent the Casien Co., OF
America. The writer did not suppose
that MIR. Collingwood of the "Rural New
York; would know anything Of him, and
I repeat that Farm Journals advocate CO.
operstion. From the letter Mr.. Colling-
wood writes 'twould seem that the in-
quirv he received was SO worded that Mr..
Cs. reply would be in the form OF
"knock-out drops" As to the cost OF
the plant the writer has proposed to
build. YES the cost will be $4,000 and l
think the Nep Era does me an injustice
to make comments or comparisons where
neither my plans or specifications has
haap insnectad hy its editor.
co OPERATION AHEAD.
The Ner York Farmer of July fh has
the following to say Of the cooperative
creamery:
eReports from cooperative butter fac
tories show that their May and June re-
turns beat both the liquid and
condensery net returns by satisfactory
margin.
"Many Of the cooperative factories, that
have established reputation for good
butter, are receiving for their product a
price considerably above the highest
market quotations for fancy creamery.
"These factories are saving their pro-
ducers from the positive losses on milk
that are being netted by the farmers who
sell to the milk middlemen OF all classes. u
Someone has been writing inquiries for
The Ne,p Era in it's last two issues for
the supposed purpose Of casting doubts
in the minds Of COW owners as to the
status of one ]. F. Harding and the
people he has the honor to represent.
Following is copy of letter received
by Messrs. Cook & Brady which needs
no explanation
