Some farmers are churning butter
and selling it for less than they would

Selling cream means less work for the
women than making butter. The

much as the butter and often consid-
crably more. The cream buyer offers

Any system that will tighten the du-

ream is cooled after being separated
and to take it to own twice IL week in
