THE CREAM SHIPPERS.

Up at Hinckley, Mimi, there was a
private local creamery doing a fair
business IN spite of fierce competition
with the centralizers in Duluth and
in the Twin Cities. The creamery
burned down the other day ard the
very next u orning, so Mr.. Knicker-
brocker, one Of tho proprietors, tells
us, the price of cream dropped three
cents Per pound ct butter fat. Farm
ers shipping away their cream instead
of patronizing their local creamery
should stop and consider what is
surely coming to them the minute the
local creamery shuts it's doors. Only
by supporting and patronizing the
local creamery, can the farmer insure
for himself a square deal in the dis
posal Of his dairy products. Dairy
