the machinery and expect to do
the first churning on Monday.
Arrangements are being per
fected as fast as possible for
the shipment OF cream from all
accessible points on the rail-
ways. Some coming as far as

cream will be determined by
the selling price of butter in
the eastern markets which will
give its patrons better prices
for their output than they could
obtain if dependent on local
markets.
In addition to the creamery
business the company will pur-
chase all the eggs, butter and
poultry OBJ ainable, thus estab-
fishing a cash market for all
the surplus produce of that
kind which the farmers wish
to cell and at good prices.

and better building than the
one just finished, which they
confidently expect will be q
necessity to accommodate the
business which they think can
be built up here.
