The agricultural editor Of the st.
Paul Press says:
Minnesota must eventually become
noted for butter and cheese. NJ State
has better grass or more of it none
more lakes and streams IF pure water.
1t IL also situated III the latitude where
these farm products are found III great
eat perfection.
()ur gs;ssses are beginning to be VAL
ued. and few of our farmers are turn
ing their attention to stock and the
dairy business. Quite Il number If
cheese factories are now in operation,
but w should have ten times rs many
to-day. We should have then less
Yrassiopper sufferers to aid, and our
people would not be IN the condition
that u certain to follow exclusive wheat
growing.
When tho editor visited Southwestern
Minnesota he pronounced it the finest
grass region in the State. Mobiles
County, with its six or eight large lakes
and ito thirty to forty small ones, ought
to be tic Paradise of the dairyua,l.
We have an abundance Of grass nd
water and ~ ane climate for stock rs
can be found. Our cattle turn out fat
in tho spring after feedingall winter on
hay made from our prairie grass, while
in summer they revel in grasses which
In succulent aud nutritious qualities are
net equalled III any State south Of VI.
