and committee of seven. j. &. Erb.
chairman, was appointed to solicit stock
subscriptions among the farmers of
Dunn county at $40 per share. The de-
sire is to get $4,000 subscribed. and it
should not be a hard matter TO do this.
II is thought that there are about 400
cows tributary to Manning and that the
creamery company can be properly cap
italized and started by the first Of April

/ The establishment Of a dairy in the
Manning country means much for
the development of the district, the
betterment of the farmer and the
country in general. It@is only when the
farmers realize the futility of one
method, the old mehod, and 60 in for

\ A dispatch from Bismarck on Janu-
ary 29th says Assistant Dairy Conn
missioner Pierce has just returned from
Libbey Butte and Manning, where he
was attending dairy meetings. 1t was
the desire of a number Of the residents
about Libbey Butte to organize cream
! cry company and establish creamery
but it developed that there were not
! enough cows in the community to sup-
port the move. Mr.. Pierce suggested
that they cooperate with the creamery
at Manning, which it is expected will
start in the spring and a delegation
went to Manning and started negotia,,
tions with that object in view. The
meeting at Manning was for the purpose
of arousing interest in the creamery
proposition at that point. There wal
an organization perfected there some
time ago and the building erected ane
4 the machinery ordered and shipped bu
that is as far as it got. The plan nov

take over the building at Manning ant
operate the creamery, starting the com
ing spring. Il the plans now under wa!
J, are worked out the Libbey Butte peopl'
