An adjourned meeting of the Wisconsin
State Dairymen's Association was held a
Fort Atkinson, Wednesday an Thursday
| of last week, Feb. 18th and 18th. 1.-THE
Making and Marking of Butter" was quite
sp'ritedly discussed by Messrs Pixley, o
Oakland, Mil!ard, of La Ike Mills, Hoard and
others. The discussion upon butter showed
that Jefferson county darymen are doing
well. Mr.. G. j. Willard, of Lake Mills
| told of realizing Sc, $50 each from dairy
of 20 cows. Mr.. Pixley, of Oakland, had
realized over $50 as an average from each
cow. A. G. White, of Kenosha, made as
high as s. pounds of cheese per cow in a
single season. Ia the evening the essay
of Mrs. Ellen P. Allerton, upon the Dairy
factory System-"A Blessing to the Farm
er's Wife," was delivered to full house.
The meeting on Thursday was more
largely attended than that of the previous
day.
The first topic discussed was The Hot
iron Test in Making Cheese, the value of
the test being mostly concurred in, Mr..
Talbot of Juneau, and Mr.. Hazen speaking
strongly in favor of the same. 1t vas also
thought best not to sour the curd in the
whey, but in the curd sink.
la the discussion OH the Dairy Cow some
interesting points were brought out. While
some thought the Durham the best, others
were of the opinion that the Ayrshire an d
Jersey were superior for dairy purposes.
NJ. G. Jones, of Fl. Atkinson, read an
interesting paper upon the subject of Max
ing and Marketing Butter.
J. B. Perkins, of Waterloo, exhibited
Philadelphia butter chest, packed with splen-
did samples of butter in pound prints with
his name stamped thereon. The figures
which Messrs. Jones, Beach, Willard, Per-
kins and others stated they received for
their butter, put new idea in the heads
of some OF the slow coach ones. was
maintained by all these gentlemen. how
ever, that it required good business tact to
sell the butter after it was well made.
II. G. Drake read one of the best essays
of the convention upon the essential ee-
ments of A Successful Dairyman, which
was followed with an interesting discus
sion.
Before the election of officers to place
Secretary Hoard rendered his resignation,
and Mr. Hazen also signi6ed his unwilling
ness to further serve as president.
A committee was appointed to present
names for officers Upon their recommend

THIS is the way the Boston ddCertiscr
puts the ''Old Mother Hubbard" story:
The aged and venerable maternal repre-
sentative of a family which descended
from an ancestral progeuitor known in
his time by the patrtnynic appellation of
Hubbard (perhaps from his having been
one of the early poets bards of the
hub)
W ended her way to the small apart ment
ordinarily devoted to the storage of creek
cry, and such portions of the family pro-
visions as were left unused at the pran-
dial meal.
To obtain for the qualification of her favor
ite but emaciated specimen of the genus
canis, a fragment OF an osseous nature
once composing an integral portion of
the skeleton of an animal whether bo-
vine, porcine, or otherwise, the narrator
was not able 20 netermine satisfactorily
from which she had reason to believe her
petted quaGruped would ailinent.
When by continuous progressive motion
she had arrived at the end of her brief
journey and in fact bad reached the OBJ
Jective point, and the goal of her desire
her fond anticipations were not realized,
and her calculations came te naught: for
the family receptacle, before alluded to-
prove to be entirely denuded of every
thing in the way of that sustcnance
which tends to prolong life when received
within and assimilated by the animaler-
ganism.
Consequently this indignant and long suf-
fering member of the high class of verte-
brata called mammals, but famiiarly
known as the ''poor dog" failed on this
occasion to obtain anything to appease
his unsated and voracious appetite which
we have reason to believe had previous
ly been wheJted by the anticipation of
the favorable result Of the visit of his
friend and protector to the usual store
house of his supplies.

From the hour of her arrival az her
