Co.Operative Plant lnstaIls Asrater
to Insure Best Quality
Butter

The Ladysmith coop. Creamery
Co has been making number OF
very noticeable and noteworthy i'm
provements around their plant this

at the south end of the creamery,
which has been screened in to form
weighing room. This is big i'm
provement, scarcely less important
than the installation of the aerater,
which has. also just beenF accomp-
lished. Hereafter, the cream will be
aerated, as well as pasteurized, which

Several interesting scenes develop
through the firt's articles as applied
to selling stock to her neighbors.
Meanwhile there is an inner plot in

one of the most progressive and live
cities of the state.

character, are provided now, within
fifty miles of Ladysmith.
