The session of the Wisconsin State Dairy
! Hen's Association held for several dsvs
last week At Fond du Lac was in all res.
poets . success. The proceedings were
indicative Of the Importance of tho
dairy interests in Wisconsin. A num-
Der of profitable discussions took place
and important miscellaneous business was
transacted. The election for officers for
the present year resulted as follows:
President, Chester Hazen, Ladoga; Vice
Presidents, Hiram Smith, Sheboygan Falls,
and Il. F. Dousman, Wateryille Secretary
W. D. Hoard, Fort Atkinson Treasurer,
Il. G. Drake, Lake Mills. Five honorary
vice presidents were elected, as follows ::
L. Perault, Greenville; G. Il. Wilder,
Evansville; 81. L. Eaton, Lone Rock; N.
H. Wood, Portage City; ". O. White,
Ken osha.
The reports from dairymen were not 50
complete as desired to show what vas done
in the business in order to give necessary
information to purchasers who expect to
visit the the boards of trade in the state to
bid on cheese. The report handed in by
Mr.. Stephen Faville, of Lake Mills, showed
that he had made ITO 900 pounds last year
and had sold in New York, London and
Northern Wisconsin. 1t states, also, that
there is prospect of some increase in that
neighborhood during the coming year
The reports from boards of trade gave pref
ty full satisfaction, considering the early
stage Of their organization The Kenosha
Board failed to report. The Watertown
board had shipped $500 boxes to New York;
5285 boxes to London, and 1862 boxes to
Liverpool, during the past year. The She
boygan board showed that 535 tons of
cheese had been made in that county last
year, and that the operations OF the board
had been partially successful, and that a
CONSIDERABLE amount of sales of the county
last year were made through them.

Advance in Lager.

The Water town Brewers not intending
to be behind their Chicago and Milwaukee
brethren have determined to advance the
price Of beer to about ST. per barrel, an
increase of two dollars, ON an after March
1st, 1874. Our brewers claim this advance
is due by the appreciation of barley and
hops, which has necessitated an increased
cost in the production of the foaming lager.
Whether the beer bibber will have to SUIT
fer the consequences Of this increase by the
price of each glass being raised or the ca
pacity of the ass being decreased, remains
to be seen as the retailer has not had his
say in the matter yet.
