Has Been A Subscriber To The Paper
For The Past Fifty Years
H.R. Mauney, 7(3, of Canton,
Route Two, has been a regular
reader of a WaynesviHe newspa
per for the past fifty years. For
the past forty-eight years he has
been reading The Mountaineer.
During the entire fifty years, he
has only been without the paper
about three months at one time
and four another.
"I started taking the paper
when Mr. Pink Herren was editor,
and have been a regular subscrib
er ever since," he said here Sat
urday. Mr. Mauney was born on Jon
athan Creek at the mouth of
Hemphill, and has lived in the
county all his life except for 15
months when he went with mem
bers of his family to Gastonia.
He is a farmer, and the only crop
he h&s. ever missed was the year
he was in Gastonia.
He has lived at his present
place for the past 23 years.
He is quite a booster of the
paper, and seldom comes to
Waynesville without stopping in
the office to say "howdy."

Additional Equipment Will More

In I'asleuri.t'd Milk
New equipment recently lKught is
expected to arrive here daily for the
Western Carolina Creamery, which,
when installed, will represent an out
lay o f over $.r,(HH), according to W. R.
Woodall, manager of the firm.
The new equipment, includes two,
2.ri0-gallon vats for the pasteurizing
department, and a high-speed refrig
erating plant, which will supplement
the three machines now in use. Tho
two modern vats will be used instead
of the 2tl0-gallon vat now in use.
When the new equipment is in
stalled, the capacity of the plant will
be more than doubled. The new
equipment is expected to Ve in opera
tion by the fifteenth of April, accord
ing to Mr. Woodall,
A new boiler has just been placed
in the building. The new boiler is of
the marine type, and is 2S-horsepow-er,
and takes the place of a 15-horse-power
boiler.
The plant now has three crtld stor
age rooms. The temperature in one
of the rooms is maintained at IM de
grees, and in the hardening rooms
the temperature remains about twenty
degrecfi Is'low zero.
Although the plant was opened less
than twenty months ago, a number of
changes have been made. Over
$(!, 0(10 was sHnt on the plant when
all- WaynesviHe milk was taken over
by them, and must of the new equip
ment now being installed is for the
purpose of handling more milk.
Hesides milk, the plant has a ca
pacity of ten gallons of ice cream
every ten minutes, and an uivliniited
capacity for making butter, cottage
cheese and fancy ice cream molds.
Several weeks ago, the manage
ment of the firm, started a new
phase of the business that of gath
ering eggs along the cream routes.
This has worked up to tlx' point where
about 1,000 dozen of eggs per week
are being brought in. The eggs are
not placed on storage, but immediate
ly put on the market.
The farmers are paid weekly for
the cream and eggs, instead of month
ly as is the case with many cream
eries. In addition to the egg Imsiness, Mr.
Woodall slated that an "experiment
station" was being built on the lot
adjoining the plant, in which a flock
of 150 White lCghorn hens would be
kept for laying. These hens will be
carefully checked and accurate rec
ords made with two different groups.
One will be fed milk products anil
butter milk to see the effect -on laying.
Another phase of the "experiment,
station" will he milk foil chickens
fop market, he stated.
Hi cause of the had 'weather, work
on the chicken house and yard has
been held up, but workmen were
busy this week v-ompleting the job.
The. results from feeding the lay-
inir hcn.s milk will be given to the
farmers, iti order that they may use
skiiu milk for poultry feeding, and
increase the. size of their laying (locks
at ho additional-cost lor food.
