The purposes OF the company are
to take lands at reasonable price as

as they may seem desirable. To subdi-
vide such lands into small farms of 80
to jO) acres each, and improve them
by building comfortable tenement
house and boring wells, and selling
to settlers upon installments. Many
persons having surplus lands will
subscribe them as stock, and the im-

sold at an advance sufficient to pay
the interest on the stock, yet prices
will be made to settlers at very low

take spcial interest in following
the details of this system, as it has
always seemed to him that North
Dakota conditions were peculiarly
adapted to this plan of creamery,
For successful operation, a whole
milk creamery should receive q dai-
" supply Of milk of not less than
FIVE or six thousand pounds within
five miles of the factory. This
means not less than 400 COWS within
the distance named Further than
this, the cost Of delivering the milk
will Offset any advantage to be de-
rived. With, our comparatively
large farms, and consequent scat
tered population, it will be 'impos-
sible to secure the requisite amount
of milk except in certain we'll fa-
vored districts.
A. . consequence, the hand sep
arator on the farms of the more
distant patrons will furnish them q
ready means Of participating in
the crermery. The additional val
ne given the skim milk whom the
hand separatoris used will be sufi-

The large majority Of North Da-

considerable period, there win be
plenty Of good grazing, there will be
