ed here the price of same being rea-
sonable, and being an experienced hand
in the dairy business, he decided that
this was an ideal place to establish
himself. He purchased IL acres of
land with a few rude improvements
thereon, bought three cows and COM
menced work In his line. AS opportun-
tiles presented themselves he added to
his stock of cows until now he Is milk
ing eleven of them, which is bringing
neat little income. BY giving word
of encoura cement and doing a little
boosting, he has managed to get a few
more people interested until he has in
creased the number to five families
more who are shipping their cream to
he creamery at Idaho Falls and receiv-
ing 2Sc per pound. Aggregating an
income of $50 per month. He Is also
the local agent for the Delaval cream
separator and Is occasionally disposing
Of one of those machines. AS O little
leaven works wonders some times rails
