creameries over the lines in Morton
and Mclean counties.
For the year ending June 80, 1912,
though two of these creameries had
only been operating a few months,
their output was over a quarter of a
million pounds of butter, for which

The first dairy work in the county
that attracted attention was in the
eighties. W. f. V. Kiebert made Ed
am cheese in his farm dairy on the
Square Butte creek, near Yucca.
In 1888 he sent a sample to the
Worlds Exposition. at New Orlean:
and was awarded second place. Lat.

beef cattle, and since d%airying has
taken so strong a claim on their in
terests it is but natural that the at

pure bred dairy stock.
They are going after this as in
other things, c~onservatively and prac-

with only pure bred sires that are
owned in company or cooperation.
A recent shipment of a state and
province winning dairy sire to head a
