Starting a «’rvuiurry.
There are many things to bo consider
ed by those contemplating starting a
creamery in a new district.
First, tho exact amount of money the
plant will cost; second, the adaptability
of the locution chosen for tho successful
operation of the creamery, and last, but
not least, the amount of patronage that
cun be depended upon.
More creameries fail from lack of
milk supply than from any other cause.
Too many embark in the business with
nothing more than prospects ahead of
them, which, they scon find out, never
