stitute's have already been opened
and are in operation in the fellowing
points: New York City, Buffalo,

of the United States has been con
tracted for except Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont, Delaware, District
ofCoiumbia, the two Virginias, -the
two Carolinas, Florida, Alabama, Mis
issippi, Arkansas, Arizona, Utah, Ne

opened is backed by strong men, and
all are in fine buildings, and all have
done a splemljd business from the

Fifteen years ago dairying was prac
tically unknown in Nebraska. A few
little creameries were scattered here
and there, but they affordeel no in
elucements to the farmers 'to engage
in the dairying industry. With the
development uf the modern methods
Nebraska steps into the front rank
ef dairying states. In 1909 there was
over 32,500 hand separators in Ne

thus separated was manufactured up
wards of 50,000,000 pounds of the

unparallele'd advantages and oppor
tunities. Fertile farm lands in the
west central anelfnorthwcstern and west

for from.?20 to J50 an acre, on the most
liberal terms of payment. Land in
the older settled naits of the state
