Creamery for BerryVille

GU 10 secure Tor BerryVllle a
modern and up-to-date Creamery
establishment.
Messrs. Jones and Bancroft,
representing the Chicago Building
and Manufacturing Company, are
interesting our business men and
farmers in the proposition to erect
at Berryville modern Creamery
plant on the EIgin system of man
ufacturing butter. handling and
shipping of cream, etc.
There is no reason why such an
institution should not be a good
thing for our town and community.
Other towns support plants of this
kind and they prove great help
In keeping up the business of the
town. The output of the Creamery
will sell for much more than the
average country butter, besides
eliminating all the care and work
and worry OF raising the cream.
washing the pans, churning and
making the butter at home. By
sending the whole milk TO the
Creamery the separator will pro-
dnce 20 per cent more butter than
can be made at home under the
gravity system. 1t will also be
remembered that Elgin butter is
always quoted fully 10 cents per
pound higher than the average
price of country butter, and that
there is always a ready cash sale
for il.
The proposed plant will be
equipped with the latest improved
machinery and appliances. the
separator having u capacity for
separating the cream from 5000
pounds of milk per hour. The
skinned milk returned to the
farmer, of which he receives eighty
per cent, will be thoroughly steril-
lied, which will keep it sweet.
thereby containing more nutriment
for feeding than milk with all the
cream left in after skimming and
making butter at home. And. in
stead of robbing his land as he
does when he sells his whole
milk, he is enabled to double the
number of pigs which can be raised
under the old plan, as he will have
abundance of sweet, pure milk for
feeding them.
An institstion of this kind will
put in circulation each month
among our farming community
several thousand dollars within a
radius of six or eight miles around
the town, and that money is bound
to 90 into the various channels of
trade of the town, and thereby
benefit every merchant and bust
ness man here.
Dairy farming improves the land
in substantial manner and en-
hances its value, and the returns
To the business man. the merchant,
the miller, the doctor, and every
class of business and professional
man is obvious.
ACreamery will give the farmer
a steady monthly cash income fol
his trading. and all of his running
accounts can be settled up eact
month, making it particularly at
tractive both To farmer and mer
chant.
Moreover, the farmer is enabled
to realize that highest possibl,
amount from the productions O
his COWS, with the least possibl,
labor.
The plan of operating the plan
will be purely cooperative, neon,
towing more than one share o
stock in the company (SlOO), ant
nothing is to be paid until the plan
is completed and ready for opera
