trend during the past few weeks.
Last Monday 2700 pounds of milk
were received. If those who have
signified their intention of sending
their milk to the station do so the
receipts will pass the 3000 pound
mark within a few days and then
the company will begin paying
rent for the station.
At present the station here is in
operation Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays. The process by which
the butter fat is separated from
the cream is a very interesting one
uid it is well worth a trip to the
station ou operating days to ob
serve it. (superintendent Eves
keeps everything around the
siatioti in excellent suapc anu is
very accomodating about explaiu-
ng the process of operating the
station.
Samples are taken each day
rom the milk received at the
station and twice a mouth tests
are made to determine the exact
percentage of butterfat which the
milk contains. The milk received
at this Btation is superior to that
received at the majority of those
operated by the Fremont Creamery
Co., the tests showmu that the
average percent is four and two
tenths and some of the milk shows
as high as live per cent.

large number of them have become

MoOarty Residence Burned.
The residence of V. E. McCarty
was almost totally destroyed bv
fire Tuesday night. The origin of
the fire is somewhat of a mystery
as there .was no one in the house at
the time it Btarted, the entire fam
ily being down at the depot as
Mrs. McCarty and the children
were going to take No. 4 for Cozad.
Their theory however is that the
drapery on the dresser must have
taken fire from a lamp aittinir
underneath it and after smoulder
ing for a time had broken out in
ilames which spread in the other
draperies. The fire had gained so
mucb headway before an alarm
was sent in that it was impossible
to save the house but the piano and
a large part of the furniture in the
front room was saved. The bal
ance ot the furniture, silverware
and all of the family's clothing
except what they were taking with
them to Cozad were totally des
troyed. The furniture was insured
for $1,000 and the house for
$500.
