and was the only other operator The dairy was located four and one halt miles east of Kalispell in the Egan district My parents both came to this country from Holland when they were children They raised a family of 12 six daughters and six sons I am next to the youngest in the family In my days it seemed a man was considered a success if he raised a large family that was healthy honest and capable of hard work as most of the work in those days was done by hand labor and not with machinery as in our modem times My father purchased the farm where I am now living in 1918 and it was mostly brush and stumps at that time It was here that he started the dairy operation With the help of some of his sons including me he milked about 20 cows by hand The milk was separated and only the cream was sold at first in Kalispell In the late 20s my father started selling milk to the North Star Dairy on the west side of Kalispell We delivered the milk in 10 gallon cans During the spring months when everyone's cows came fresh they were put out on green pasture which produced an abundance of milk and the dairymen had what was called surplus milk All of the dairymen separated some of their milk but seniority was considered and those who started selling milk last had to separate all of their milk in the surplus months I can remember we had to do this many times I started operating my folks farm in 1937 on a rental basis I milked between 20 and 25 cows and usually hired some high school boy or a neighbor boy to help me milk by hand night and morning My only means of cooling the milk was to submerge the 10 gallon cans of milk in a huge trough filled with fresh well water every' day The water was pumped by a one cylinder gas engine which often failed to run I delivered the milk to the North Star Dairy every morning in the ten gallon cans It was i usually processed that same day and most was consumed in a i day or two It was under very little refrigeration Shortly after the lathead Electric Co op began supplying i me with power I purchased an electric milk cooler which built up an ice bank between milkings This greatly improved the cooling of the milk When I took over the farm I farmed with horses and all the hay and manure was pitched by hand It seemed there was no Note In this the final in a series of articles on the early days of the lathead Dairy industry

fourth and I got the fourth that was left During the early 40s and during World War II it seemed to me to be the beginning of the machine age It was then I bought my first tractor and modern haying equipment of the day which was not much compared to today I married the former Eunice Westerhaus in 1939 and we continued to rent the farm until 1951 when we purchased it from the deYong estate We immediately built a new milking parlor for dairying and hired a dozer to clear 125 acres of brush and stump land We purchased more modern equipment and I continued to operate the dairy of 25 cows and also the 300 acre farm consisting of grain hay and pasture by myself except for a small amount of hired help during the harvest season My wife and I raised two daughters so I produce my own labor as my father did During my years of dairying I started selling milk to the North Star Dairy and later they merged with the Glacier Dairy located in what is now the Glacier Building The Glacier Dairy later sold to Dairy which was located west of Kalispell A few years later the Equity Supply bought out so I sold to four different dairy plants during my 30 years of dairying Wo retired from dairying in 1967 but I still operate the 300 acre farm by raising wheat barley and hay and I have a few stock cows Since retiring from dairying we have built a new all electric home and a large machine shed at a location oh dieTarm We have also found time to do a little traveling Kransco BabySitter Keeps Baby Safe in Water Reg M69 $347 STORES Stores Machine wash gently in cold or lukewarm water tum ble dry
