Creamery Proposition

At a call meeting Of the Board oil
Governors of the Business League
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. j. Lester
Williams of the Chicago Building
s. Manufacturing Company appear
ed before the Board and made a
proposition to build creamery
for the city of Fitzgerald and sur
rounding section provided the
League would endorse his plans
and give him sufficient encourage
ment to make a canvass amoug the
people for stock to erect the plant.
Mr.. Williams explained that a.
creamery in Fitzgerald would take
the milk from one hundred to eight
hundred COWS, extract the butter
fat therefrom, return the skim
milk to the farmer or person who
furnished it to the creamery, make
the cream into butter at an expense
of three cents a pound to the COW
owners, all of this at profit to
the COW owner and creamery. Mr..
Williams also claimed that a cream
cry here would encourage the rails
ing of better stock, more feed stufs
more home fertilizers, agreater va
riety of crops, and give the COM
munity an Institution that would
eventually make all the butter used
in this vicinity and be a shipping
point Of such products to other
sections.
When asked what the ordinary
COW would pay whose milk was
worked thru the creamery, Mr..
Williams quoted from the report
of B. P. Norton United States
Dairy Commissioner as follows:
E'The average COW will net you
as follows: for butter fat, $50,
feed value of skim milk, $22, year.
Iy credit to the COW, $82. Besides
this, she will give you from five
and one half or six tons of solid and
liquid manure. worth as much
more; and this every year, getting
better as the heard improves and
the land improves-as sure and
certain competency; wealth and
ease for the farmers advancing
years.
Mr.. Williams further stated that
he believed that the COWS around
Fitzgerald would net the owners a
profit of from sixty to hundred
dollars a year with their milk be-
ing worked throu the creamery
provided the proper care and at
tention were given the grading and
handling Of the COWS.
Mr.. Williams was asked where
a creamery could expect to get milk
from around Fitzgerald, since there
is not now nearly enough milk to
supply the demand for that article
alone, not to speak Of butter which
was largely bought from the East
and West. He replied that it was
necessary to have a hundred cows

Laziness is a disease just like consumption,
only different A great many people do not be-
lieve that, but it's fact
The hook worm fasten on to the intestnes
like tubercles fastens to the lungs.
We once believed that hickory switches were
good for lazness, in boys in particular, but that
is not true Switches may be an effective correc-
tive for wantoness or viciousness, but they will
not cure laziness, although, we confess, they
might for timeg make boy ''smart" regardless of
his affection with hook worms, or any other worm.
Scientists have figured it out to nicety and
they do say (and we do not know any reason why
they should msrepresent the facts), that the hook

feet, usually with ground itch, and find their way
to the abdominal cavity, where they deplete the
