The exhibit of the Continental

dairy interests of this territory have
grown, as this company mas $50 skim
ming stations throughout Kansas and
bordering states. to which are more
than 49, 600 daily contributors.
The daily capacity of the Conti-
mental Creamery compaRy here in To-
peka is from 40 900 to 100000 pounds,
of butter. and this is increased in the
summer time, as more butter fat is
received.
Another interesting fact that has
developed since the Continental
Creamery company has been organ
lied is the price which the farmer
gets for his country butter. A few
years ago a farmer thought he was
getting q big price if he got from / O
to II cents for his homemade butter
and IL to 13 cents for his butter fat.
Today he is receiving % cents for his
butter fat. and local stores are paying
on an average of IS cents for his
homemade butter. and instead of get
ting on an average of II cents for his
butter fat in the summer rlme he now
gets on an average of Ia to 20 cents.

farmer is giving as much and more at
tention to his dairy interests as he
does to other farm products
Besides the well known Primrose
butter made and sold in packages by
the Continental Creamery they also
make brand, the "AIedow Grove
which is used in their large export
business, as this butter contains prop
critics that will enable its shipment
long distances, and there is hardly a
foreign country in which "MedOW
Grove" Is not sold
The making of butter has grown to
such proportions during the past few
years, that farmers generally have
taken UP the study scientifically and
conventions for the advancement Of the
industry are now held regularly where
a few years ago they were unheard of.
The plant of the Continental Cream
cry company, with its sl1imming sta
tlons IS now the largest creamery in
their plant here in Topeka on an
average of two hundred and fifty en-
ployes.

terested, as it is easily one of the best
attractions of the exposition.
