MILACA CREAMERY RECORDS
The Milaca Farmers' Creamery will probably have tht* ]ar
gest output of any creamery in
the state this year, for they are
breaking records continually ;if
the local butter ffl-tnwffteturing
Institution, There were 288patrons at the creamery Saturday,
and two churns were kept busy
continually making the butter
fat inftj the finest creamery butter making HTj tub* of butter,
or 5,800 pounds, This cream
was all received on Saturday,
ind two weighers were kept bu
*5rcontinually waiting on the
farmers.
During the month of May,
1912, 60,318 pounds Of butterfat
were received, and $18,208,43
paid out to patrons, as against
87,828 pounds and $8,179.74 in
the corresponding month last
year. The price paid for butterfat this year averages &i c
higher than that paid in 1911,
The Milaca creamery made a
notable record last Year, but
with a product nearly twice as
large and a payroll considerable over twice that of 1911, the
present year certainly will be
a record breaker in many respects, and   there   i.s   no   doubt
that the Milaca creamery will
justly be entitled to the honor
of being the champion creamery of the state. The figures
loom still larger when it is considered that there are three o-
ther large and flourishing-co-operative creameries within four
miles.
We buy ear and shelled
corn at 60c per bushel.

Gentlemen:
This   was   a    (
eceof butter, considering that
was made from   all hand sep-
ator cream, and has been held
r   some  time   before    it    was
ored.    However it shows   up a
tie   coarse   in   flavor,     which
y be due to some poor cream
lich yon receive, and the  only
!ay -Oovercome this   would   be
get your patrons to take  bet-
r care of their cream   and   deer it to the creamery   in   bet-
condition.    Also tell them to
an their hand separators eve-
time  they use  them,   as   this
very important.
The   workmanship'   of    your
itter is very good, which shows
at yon appreciate the import-
nee of this part of   the   work.
[hopethat you will  continue
the contest,   and   thus   assist

BUCKMAN WON
The game of ball played in
Buckm-in last Tuesday between
Buckman and a Royalton team
was won by Buckman by a wide
margin.    The score was 9 to 16.
The feature of the game as
long as we were witness was
the Buckman catcher's throw to
Kapsner at second base. The
ball beat the base runner by ten
feet. Young Weisbrich pitched
a good game for Buckman. He
lias a good wing* and a line delivery for a boy of his age.
With good control and a
sharp break close to the plate
lie should make a winner in a
few years. James Dengel umpired the game.
Our lime, plaster and cement
is always the best on the market. To be good this must be
fresh. Our aim is to handle it
so It is at its best. J. Borger

BUH
The Base Ball game between
"The Farmers team" of Buh
and the "Lastrup team'' ended
with a score of 1*2 to 7 in favor
of Buh. The game was quite interesting from start to finish
and the boys from Buh were- a
little surprised by the way the
Lastrup team went at it.
Flashes
At 10cents per Kilowat. twenty 150 Tungsten street lamps.
averaging three hours a night,
will cost the  village ab
ar. Bear in mind that these
figures are based upon the retail
price of the juice. At the actual cost of I cents per Kilowat.
the cost of twenty Tungsten
lamps would lx- only about $150.
Here we have a gain of from
$500 to $700 a year over the •
ent system of street lighting.
This gain put into a sinking* fund
will pay the bond when it matures in ten years.

Mr. Gordon will be present at
a public meeting to be held a
few days before election, to answer any and all questions which
may lx- put to him. He invites
everybody in the village to tabulate all the questions and points
which may occur to them and
bring them up at this meeting.
He wants this proposition thoroughly investigated before the
election.
The Tungsten lights are so
accurately constructed that the
cost of running them can be figured to a fraction of a cent.
