A Creamery for Raymer.
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?
