his home, as well as cream separated

AS u iorIuer PTeslSttuG WAS III Tile
habit of saying, sit is condition
and not a theory that has to be
dealt with" There are many farm
ers who will not haul or pay for
having hauled, their whole milk to
the creamery and their skinned
milk back TO tho farm. and stand
the deterioration in the quality Of
their skinned milk from exposure
while in transit and other causes.
These men have cream for sale and
they are going to sell to the person
who will pay them the best price for
it, The cooperative creameries,
should be able to pay all that it is
worth. If others offer more than it is
worth so much the worse for the 9th
ers. They will not last long. And if
the cooperative creamery, by reason
of poor management or antiquated
methods is unable to pay as much
as others for the farmers cream, the
reason for its existence has ceased
and it will soon cease to exist.
If the cradle makers ever imagin-
ed that they had preemption
right to manufacture all grain cut
ting tools and machinery, their imag-
mary rights went glimmering when
the first Kirby and Met ormick reap
ers made their appearance. And the
same is true in every business, Mr..
Beels' contention to the contrary
notwithstanding. We feel just as
kindly toward the cooperative
creamery as Mr.. Beels, but it is no
kindness to those engaged in any
business to tell them that they pos.
sess rights that do not or cannot ex-
ist. The real friend is the one who
urges an advance TO keep abreast
with the Improvements of the times.
Improvements will continue to be
made in the creamery business, and
our local creameries must not be toe
slow to make use of them. When
someone invented q self binder thai
beat McCofmick's self rake reaper
out of the harvest fields, McCor
mick did not close his factory, Blu,
made another kind Of self binde,
that was better than the one in.
vented by his competitor.
1t is vitality important to lowe
dairymen that their products go for
ward to the city markets manufac
tured and ready for sale and deliv
cry to consumers. This cannot b.
done if the big city creameries are
able to secure special advantages il
railway rates on milk and cream
The life Of every local creamery de
ponds upon this question. The
railways, or the railway commissions
can destroy the creamery business
of Iowa by granting special ship
ping rates and privileges to TIL
big city creameries, and Iowa dairy
men should stand as unit agains
all attempts Of that nature. Will
just railway rates, intelligent man
agement and up to7date methods the
local creamery can defy all compe.
tition.
Personally we can see no reason
why the local cooperative creamer,
should notcontinue to prosper alon,
side Of the local. creamery owned b,
private individuals. The existence O
the two will create competition ant

of each to greater endeavor. ]
