Thursday-Station Has Been
Remodeled To Care For
Sweet Cream.

was held at Donaldson on Thursday.
and was attended by about $50 farm

Schlosser of the company made the
talks to and with those present. and
the meeting was most successful one
in every respect. being more than
satisfactory both to Mr. Schlosser
and to those present.

ed such subjects of vital interest to
the dairyman as the relation of the
creamery to the farmer. soil fertilitv.
the silo. proper. feeding to Get the
most cream. care of animals and of
the r-illk and cream Mr.. Schlosser
carefully explained the position of
his company in relation to the farm

inc in the county will be carried on
for some months now. and bevond
doubt will be of great help to dairy
men and to the company.
Schlosser Bros. have remodeled
their plant at Donaldson so as to
ha 11le sweet cream. Cream Will ne
shipped from there to Chicago and
other points. Schlosser Bros. are
now making their 1912 contracts

Kirk w. Perley who is connected
with the Indiana State Prison at
Michigan City, passed through Plym-
outh Thursday going to Valparaiso,
where he lectured to meeting of
farmers. Mr.. Perley is working in
connection with the Purdue Short
Course in Agriculture, and is endeav-
oring to show the farmers the adj
vantage given them by the binder
Irvine factory operated in the prison.
1t is recognized that there is a
prejudice In the minds of some,
which is agitated In labor unions,
against prison made goods. Our
legislature some six years ago ap-
propriated two hundred Thousand
dollars with which to equip and
start a binder Irvine factory in the
northern prison, believing that the
farmers would be enabled to buy
their Irvine at much less price than
when made in othe factories. Mr..
Perley shows that this has been ac-
complished, and points to the fact
that our farmers, who use some eight
to ten million pounds OF Irvine a
year, have been able to buy it for
six to seven cents a pound, when
under other conditions it would cost
them fourteen. Mr.. Perley is out
lecturing at farmers institutes.
trying to show the farmers why they
should give their support to this
factory by using its output, arguing
that where there is a profit the
money is turned back to the state
treasury, and thus helps to keep
down the general rate of taxation.
Mr.. Perley makes the statement in
his lecture that in a very few years
if this factory can be operated and
have the support of Indiana farm
ers. that it will pay all the expen-
ses of maintaining the Michigan City
prison, so that it will cost the state
nothing to keep the nine to eleven
hundred men who are confined there
His argument is that should this fac
tory be thrown out of business by
non-support, the price of binder
Irvine would double to Indiana
farmers at once, and it would be
voars hofore IT could no brought down
again. if ever it could be done.
