"The local creameries Of Minnesota
have two great advantages over. the
larger creameries located at consider
able distance from the farmers says
r. NJ. Washburn Of the dairy division
at University Farm, "First, in the
low cost of delivering the butterfat
to the factory, and second, IN the
fresher, better quality cream: which
the local creamery has an opportun-
ity to secure. These two advant ges
are in favor Of the small creamery In
competition with the larger creamery
some. distance away
Minnesota, butter has nation
wide reputation for quality, yet many
creameries in the state are not doing
their share in maintaining this repu-
tation," adds Mr.. Washburn. III
California oranges, Florida grape
fruit, Washington apples, or NeW
Jersey cranberries, OF any one or the
thousand-and-one manufacturers
foods, came on to the market as lr-
regular in quality as the butter from
the small Minnesota creameries, few.

roots for the succulent, feed, and
clover or alfalfa for hay" says c. H.
Eckles, head of the dairy husbandry
division of the University Of Mime
sofa. "The farmer who neglects to
provide now for enough OF these
necessities will find himself next
winter without satisfactory ration
and will either have to be content
with a small cream or milk check
or be willing to go to the feed store
and spend good money for feed to
balance up his ration.
"The important thing is to be wise
In time and to be properly prepared
for the winter when it comes by hav-
ing a silo full Of silage, wherever
corn is safe crop, and root cellar
stocked with mangels where the corn
crop is uncertain. With these and

the highest standards. Throughout
the inspection and review. the high

evident:
Fourth division was first engaged In
the Marne counter offensive on July

army. Detachments aided in the
crossing Of the Qurcq and on August
