‘‘MILK CHURCH” COLUMn. ' Devoted to the Dairy in' Interests of Jasper County.

Don’t forget the monthly aaeeting the first Saturday in February, the 3rd, at the court house, at sharp half past 1 o’clock p. m. Everybody invited. Bring your wives and daughters to hear the discussion of dairy subjects and the singing of songs. Meet promptly at the ringing of the bell. The exercise will be short and will not interfere with doing your business and getting home in time to do the milking and other chores. A. McCoy, Pres.

It is a common occurrence to hear a farmer say, “I intend to go into the dairying business after while, but times are too hard at present.” This very fact should be an incentive for a farmer to go into this valuable branch of : the farming industry. As a reslilt of the panicky feeling cows are cheaper, corn is low, as well as hay; while on the other hand the price of good creamery butter keeps up as well as any staple on the market. It is the duty of every person engaged in the merchantile business, as well as professional to do all in their power to encourage the dairying interests in this

county. When a farmer comes into your place of business, talk to him about it, encourage him as much as possible and be ever ready to encourage membership in the Milk Church. Our creamery, at present, is the pride of our city. It brings in a monthly revenue which would be brought in no other way. It induces farmers from other localities to move in our midst and thus settle up our county. From the fact that almost all other creameries in this locality have failed, while this stands in the front rank shows that we have the kind of farmers here who have the backbone to build up an institution which will be the foremost of its kind in the state. These facts should stimulate every business man and induce him to take such an interest in this institution as will add greatly to its welfare.
