Fifteen years ago a small creamery plant was installed fat Slatcrsvillc, Utah. A' few years thereafter, others in different parts of this and the surrounding sur-rounding counties were instituted. These were absorbed by the original Slatcrvillc company, and in 1905, this concern was consolidated with Black-man Black-man & Griffin Co. , Since that change was. made, they have devot d much of their time to looking after the interests andwcl-farc andwcl-farc of the farmers at large, throughout through-out this and the surrounding states. They arc large buyers of cream, which they churn into B & G Butter, that is made of a grade that takes the first prize in competition at every state and county fair in which it is entered. Knowing as they did, that they could not get a sufficient quantity quan-tity of cream for the unlimited market mar-ket which is theirs without enthusing the farmers to increase their output, they have been working for a number num-ber of years to place pure-bred stock with the cow owners of this Intcn Mountain region. They arc meeting,. with success, as the farmers arc learning more than ever before, the economy of having good cows. It costs no more to take care of a milk cow giving several hundred pounds of butter fat per year, tlian it does to give a cow attention which produces pro-duces 15 pounds, this being the avcr-age avcr-age production of the cdws in this locality? " They arc doing all they can to urge farmers to buy pure bred bulls. The man who begins to grade up his herd with a pure bred bull1 will be milking half bloods in three years, three-quarter bloods in five years, 1 s ven-cights in seven years, and soi on. The fact of the matter is that when he gets to cashing checks from the half bloods he Will jumpjhc other steps and buy pure rcd cows. He will be in a position to' realize their value. , Their heifer, "Ycksa of Lakeside" , a Guernsey purchased last fall, gave birth to a bull' calf last month. He is a fine animal and being held at $300.00. They have also imported several other bulls, pedigreed and of fine ancestry. Their untiring activity along this line is resulting in an increased in-creased volume of cream for them every day. They pay the farmers promptly for the cream received test and weight it correctly, and arc one of the most reliable, extensive and satisfactory creamery concerns in the west. |
