Dear Sir
received your letter sone
time ago. Twill be out thers In
the near future and look up the
situation. If it shows enough, I
will put in a plant.
Respectfully yours
L. Thompson.
From the appearance Of these
letters, it looks as though Ninot
will have q creamery. The Inde-
pendent has always been in ia

it would pay. Now let hinot

when h. arrives and give him
some encouragement. There is
scarcely a farmer who cannot
in q little time send the milk OF a
dozen cows to a creamery. To
do this successfully he will have
to raise cron for fodder or some
tame grasses, but it has been
demonstrated in various parts OF
the state, that this can be done.
