Raymer will have a creamery in the j spring that will be a winner, providing hdwever that the people here want iti arid express their willingness to support it. .The man was here and looked the country over and says that the oppor tunities presented here are many, and offers to bring five hundred cows here to be sold trf those who have little money at a reasonably low price and will take fifty per centof the cream for payment on cows until they are-paid for. This is undoubtedly a "good thing" for all parties as it will a chance | to stock up, and at the same time get: the full benefit of the grass and increase i of stock with little expenditure. There will always be plenty of feed raised to winter your cows with and the prairie will furnish the better part of the feed in the mean time, so I can't see why this isn't just what we want. Besides furnishing the best of a market for our cream this creamery will have a great tendency to advance the price of our land. What do you think, abqqt it? 1 »« * Come and Join Us.
