The incorporation of the Lake View
Dairy is one of the most important
steps that SO far has been taken in
this county for the advancement Of
dairying, and attracting attention to
the possibilities OF that industry In
this valley. 1t is the initiatOry step
in improved dairying conditions, In
the carrying on of the business on a
large scale, and the operations of the
company will be We tched with q great
| deal of interest by stOckmen, farmers
and the public generally. II it proves
to be success, and, carefully con-
| Quoted, failure seems very remote
possibility, it will be an incentive to
others, individuals and combinations
of individuals, to enter into the same
line OF endeavor, and which, when
| conducted properly, tends to make
prosperous community, as near con-
tentment as the human being is able
to reach.
The Lake View Dairy company has
its plans matured, and at the present
time its members are engaged in the
work of such construction as Is nee
essary for economically and expedi-
tiously carrying on the business. The
dairy will be located on land owned
by Chas. F. Sigrist, on the east shore
of Osoyoos lake, a short distance north
of town. The cheif building on the
premises, now under construction, Is
a concrete stable, 36xS4 feet, one story
high, with accommodations for 46
cows. While recently on the coast
Mr.. Sigrist made 1t point to visit
some of the largest and most modern
ly appointed and conducted dairy
farms in the state, and the design OF
the building now in the process Of
erection is combination of the best
POINTS of the several structures of like
kind that came under his observation.
This stable will have concrete floors,
laid for perfect drainage, steel stanch-
ons, steel hangers, and steadily flow
ing watering troughs. Cleanliness
will be one sole aim in every detail.
There will be no storage overhead,
and provisions made for flushing the
floors. The greatest care will be TAX
en- in handling the COWS. which will
be of thoroughbred stock, and every
precaution taken at milking time in
order to guard against any impurities
in the milk. The milk will be kept
in cold storage concrete house built
especially for the purpose. An ample
supply of ice was put up for use at
the dairy this season. Surrounded by
such safeguards and precautions as
the company is to provide milk from
the Lake View Dairy will be delivered
to patrons as free from impurities
as it is possible for milk to be.
The Lake View dairy will be modern
in every detail, and as near perfect
for the purpose of turning out pure
lacteal fluid as can be reached. The
parties behind the enterprise have had
experience in handling cattle, and
have applied themselves to picking
up all possible practical points and
information upon the subject. They
are in earnest in this movement to
build up model dairy, that, in its
equipment and quality of product, will
vie with any enterprise Of like kind
in the state. When in operation the
dairy will be one of the show places
of the valley, attracting many people
interested in the industry from all
pairs of the country. That is Is going
to prove profitable undertaking Is
| certain. Wherever dairying is con-
Quoted on business principles it pays,
and pays well, and the same result can
be looked for from this particular in
vestment. c. H. Curtis, who. knows
the busines thoroughly, will be man
ager of teh Lake View Dairy ranch,
and that is assurance that it's affairs
| will be so conducted as to insure the
best results, both as to satisfaction to
customers and returns to the stock
holders. =
