On motion Of Mr.. Fowler the secretary was
directed to notify the committees elected of
| the honor extended, and the duties imposed
| upon them.
| Is ORNAMENTAL, NOT USEFUL.
| Secretary Abernethy offered his individual
protest against any work of this nature being
imposed upon him. He thought his place was
at and in the convention or the room at all
times to impart information.
Mr.. Fowler explained that he didn't want to
| work the secretary either by manual labor or
| by an excessive draught on his leg talent. But
| bis Intention was to empower the secretary
| with the authority to impart the information
| OF their election to the parties 40 honored.
| Mr. Secretary Abernethy, after this explana-
ton, acquiesced without further kick
| WANTS PRACTICAL BUTTER MAKERS.
MIR Crawshaw, West st. Panl, moved that
the mmittee appointed to inspect the butter
| be rejected, and that the committee be wholly
| appointed from practical butter makers. He
| wanted practical butter makers to pass upon
! the samples, without calling on outsiders for
| their Judgment.
The president explained that the committees
we've duly arranged by the executive board,
and We're selected because not belonging to ex-
hlbitors. The purpose was to introduce the
h,f44 - sl,
| necessarily selected on the committees.
MIR. Il. D. Morse wanted to resign from the
butter and cheese committee, but the meeting
would not tolerate any such proposition.
Mr.. Frank Clifford thought the whole matter
could be better fixed up were the ladies intro
duceo to taste and pass opinion.
IS IT PUT UP JOB?

that the exhibitors select committee.

| judges from the parties having articles on ex-
hibition In the end it would serve the inter-
ests of the society, and be better ADVERTISE
ment as to the fair dealing Of the society.
ilr. Fowler wanted to know what practical
butter maker was. He knew of good Judges,
who knew nothing about making butter.
The roll was called on Mr.. Crawshaw's mo-
ton, and it was lost by vote of yeas to 81
noes.

Mr.. Moses Hutchinson, of Owatonna, passed
up an article on Scientific butter-making,"
which was read by the secretary in such man
ner as to destroy the effect of an otherwise
Admirable and instructive treaties upon the
method of getting much milk, and making the
best butter.
A vote of thanks was extended to Mr.. Hutch
inson on motion of Mr.. Fowler.
CHURN CONTEST
MI. Whittier proposed to accept Mr. Hutch
inson's challenge to churn. and wanted to d.,
it now. He was ready for the test and would
divide cream with him, as he had some on
hand.
Mr.. Hutchinson thought it not good plan
or test to churn under such circumstances, but
finally was forced to accept Mr.. Whittier being
SO very accommodating in all respects.
The chair said that the committee on butter
and cheese would act as judges in the churn
contest, the futter to begin at once.
