by rising temperature and be attended
by rains in southern and SHOWS In nor
thern districts east Of the Rocky Noun

in the Pacific states during the latter
part of the week attending distur-
bance that will appear in this region

Tho Creamery Association.
There was a regular meeting Of the
Yorkville Creamery association In
Yorkville yesterday, and about the
most interesting information that was
developed, was that the demand for
butter Is stronger than 1t has ever
been and the supply Of butter fat is
not nearly adequate. Most OF the
creamery patrons appear to be standing
firm in the matter Of bringing all the
butter fat they can supply; but cows
are going dry and the supply OF milk Is
not anything like up to the demand.
Quite a number Of patrons report that
they will have cows coming In fresh
later on; but the creamery wants the
butter fat now. The price paid for
butter fat at the present time Is q cents
pound; but the management has de-
cided to offer 80 cents or more condi-
toned on the increase in the supply of
butter fat to 8 900 pounds a month or
over. The supply at the present time
Is running at the rate Of only about
$500 pounds. The hope Of an increase
centers principally in securing the CO.
operation Of new patrons.
