new CREAMERY.
Butter Factory Is Another Industry at
Madison Lake.

Blue Earth county is favored with
several splendid creameries and they all
bear enviable regulations for putting
out a superior quality of butter. With
in the last month the new Madison Lake
creamery has started operations and is
turning out quality of butter that is
not excelled by any factory in the west.
The proprietor, Mr.. Chas. Bush, is
graduate of the Wisconsin State Cream
cry school, and for two years he was an in
structor in the art of making creamery
butter.
The new creamery is constructed along
the most modern sanitary lines, and is
equipped with the latest and most ap-
proved machinery. The structure is lin
ed throughout with southern pine, has a
cement floor, has cold storage room
of the most approved design and is in
every way as fine as money can make
it. The creamery starts off with milk
from about four hundred cows and the
number will be increased to six hun
dred in short time. The industry will
prove not only advantageous to Madi-
son Lake, but also of profit to patrons.
Mr.. Bush, the proprietor, deserves to
succeed, and he will if strict attention to
business and the manufacture of as good
butter as can be made count for any
thing.

Indebtedness of the city at all, as no
money is to be paid to the contractors
until it is in the hands of the treasurer,
received from the general tax levy or
special assessments; that the floating in

The farmers telephone line is great
convenience-when one gets used to it.
But lack of a central gives rise to some
annoyances. To the casual observer
these appear a joke. Wait until you've
been awakened at farmers rising hour
by clash of one short, two long, one
short, one long; one long, three short etc.
You would be tempted to get special
dispensation to swear. Judging from re-
marks hear, there are some who don't
need it.
When one gets the telephone habit,
/ it's almost as bad as chewing. And it is
about as infectious as smallpox. Little
things that never used to disturb the
placidity of the farm now need constant
adjustment over the phone. 1t is nee
essary to inquire after each others
health every few minutes and neighbors
must know when change takes place in
the atmosphere. Of, course the ringing
bothers some by day; but at night and
in the early morning hours it rouses
those patrons who do not have to do
early chores more than anything has
done since the Indian outbreak.
