• The creamery a Success-

The Leon creamery has now been in operation eight months. When the pro-ect was first talked of many people dis­

couraged it and said it could not be made a success here, but the Messrs. Doran, the proprietors were not dis-discouraged. They came, looked over the field, purchased property and equipped it with the very oest. of ma­chinery. The result has been a surprise to both themselves and the farmers who have been selling them cream. In the eight months they have been doiag businesi almost $7,000 in cold cash hi ~ been paid out to the farmers for creai At the present time they are paying the1

equivalent of 22 cents per pound for butter, the farmer's wife does n't have to care for the milk or wear herself out churning, and the farmer has the skim­med milk returned to him for hog feed It has been reported that the creamery will shut down during the winter months, but this is a mistake; they will run the year around and in the spring will add another separator i n I establish several skimming stations at points where it is too far to haul the cream to Leon. The proprietors are men of. means and they have paid the farmers promptly the cash for their cream, and there has been no complaints from those who sell cream. We are indeed pleased that the creamery has made such a splendid showing and believe that the coming year many more farm­ers will sell their cream.
