DAIRYING RAPIDLY
FORGING TO FRONT
Late Inventions Have Brought About
Many improvements

which brought about another great
development and change in the hand
ling and marketing of dairy products
This new invention also meant tn,
doom Of the local creamery or skim
ming station. Because of its grea
advantage to the dairyman on thu
farm, it solved the problem of hi
having to go TO the creamery every
morning with his whole, sweet milk.
1t gave him the advantage Of having
his warm, sweet, skim milk at home
for his calves and pigs. 1t reduced
the bulk he had to haul to market.
1t condensed his dairy products to
cream and made it necessary only for
him to go to the express station or
creamery once or twice week
With the introduction of the hand
power separator. the express and bag
gage companies conceived the ides
of the great volume of business they
might do by offering special rate
upon the transportation of cream
over the railroad lines leading to the
large centers. AS soon as this was
done, the jobber or distributor, who
had been handling all kinds and
grades of butter from local cream
cries, conceived the idea of having
the dairvnan. who lived anywhere
from 10 to $50 miles out in the coun-
try from the large centers, ship the
cream in and they could install big
! churns and from this cream make
their own butter fresh and sweet each
morning for their trade, which would
give them better and more uniform
grade of butter to build up their bust
ness. This was the beginning of The
S; called centralized creameries.
The first of these centralized
eameries was opened up in the
cities Of the middle west and
ethods were 80 successful and
antages to the producer

80 %o. ..;.,,n = few years were open

we within a few years will find Idaho
the banner butter, cheese and poultry
producing state of the Union.
Our company has demonstrated
that they can make butter that can
be sold in all markets, from Denver
cu the south to Alaska on the north,
from Chicago on the east TO San Fran
cisco on the west, and they now have
become exporters of these products
and command the highest price from
the superior quality Of their goods.
II is their intention to as fast as pos
sible develop the manufacturing OF
thousands of pounds Of all kinds OF
high grade cheese. Their faith in this
particular work is demonstrated by
the fact Of their numerous invest
ments within the state with plants
now located at Idaho Falls, Pocatello,
Buhl, Boise and Lewiston, Idaho, with
cash buying stations in every valley
within our state for cream, eggs and
poultry, regardless Of the number OF
COWS and poultry, offering cash
