This Section is
Close to Nature

That this section of Minnesota en-
joys most all of the modern convent
ences of civilization is well known.
but there are very few sections of the
country who are privileged TO enjoy
these things and at the same time be
close to nature. such as is the case
here. During the past four or five
years il has been a real treat to see
even a deer on the clearings in the
kerrick and Oak lake neighborhoOds
say residents in those communities,
but of recent date deer have been
seen often and black bear are to be
found more frequently.
Recently the Lunds, near Oak lake.
were entertaining company from the
southern part of the state, and a
young man among the visitors re-
marked at the supper table about his
wishes to see a deer. He was told
il would be just chance if he saw
one, but an hour later a deer came
out on the clearing and commenced
grazing. The animal started toward
the barn and found the salt placed
there for the cattle and seemed to
be in no hurry TO move on. He did
not mind the horses that were grazing
nearby.
The following evening there was
greater excitement when the host an
nounced that a black bear was run
ming across the clearing between the
John Wolby and Lund farms. He was
a big black fellow and could be plain
ly seen as he ran about a quarter oil
a mile over the clearing. The owner
of the farm. Mrs. F. S. Lund, has
seen many bear during her AZ years
residence but she reports that this
one was the largest she had evel
seen.

Kerrek Plant Receives 1865 Pounds
of Milk From Farms the
First Day.

The Kerrick Cheese factory COM
menced operation Monday morning
with 1865 pounds of milk being
brought in by 63 farmers throughout
the territory. These first patrons and
each new one delivering milk to the
factory this week will receive awards
from the business interests of Ker-
rick and from the management of the
factory. The first days delivery ex-
ceeded the most fond expectations of
the management and bids fair for very
good production from the factory.
The present capacity of the plant is
5000 pounds but it is expected an
other 5000 pound vat will be Installed
within the next few days.
Several from the surrounding coun-
try called during the first day and
inspected the cheese making in op-
Grafton and saw Arnold c. Fuhrmann,
the owner and operator prepare about
500 pounds of curd (cheese) for the
market Mr.. Fuhrmann expects to
manufacture cheese every day, espe-
cially during the summer months
and, possibly during the winter he
will manufacture every other day
when those from one direction of the
village will alternate in delivery with
those on the other side. Conditions
and production will govern the con-
duct of the factory. Pay days are ex-
pected to be on the 5th and Goth Of
each month
Prepares Home.
A five room modern apartment with
bath is being arranged over the fac.
tory and this is being rushed to com
pletion so that Mr.. Fuhrmanns wife
and two children will come to take
up housekeeping some time next
week. This not only will make a con.
venient place to live but a pleasan,
place as the building is constructed
of hollow tile with cedar ceiling and
floor which contains qualities to pre-.
vent dampness and heat from the fac
tory below. Windows on all sides
invite the breeze from any direction
The factory and residence is a rea
addition to the progressive little com.
munity and the population there is
justified in their enthusiasm Of the
project. The owner. Mr.. Fuhrmann
young and energetic with a pleasan,
personality, is optimistic as to the
future of the section, stating tina,
there are wonderful opportunities fol
advancement in the cheese makins
field there His advertising will have
