ton: Col. George Culver and John Summers,

Committee directed to make report and rec

p.
The following were appointed a committee
on implements, and were directed to make re-
port and recommend award of premium at
o'clock P. NJ: Messrs. Seibert, Sunrise City;
Ovitt, Pennington, and 8. E. Goodrich Dakota
county.
Mr. VIM. Fowler stated that he had learned
that Mr.. John Summers, of the Windsor hotel,
wasn't practical butter man. and he moved
the name Of MIR. McNamara, of the Clarendon
hotel be substituted for Mr.. Summers. Car
ried.
On motion Of MIR. 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 tho 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
his intention was to empower the secretary
with the authority to impart the information
of their election to the parties 80 honored.
Mr.. Secretary Abernethy, after this explana-
ton, acquiesced without further kick.
WANTS PRACTICAL BUTTER MAKERS.
MIR Crawshaw, West st. Panl, moved that
the committee 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
were duly arranged by the executive board,
and were selected because not belonging to ex-
hlbltors. The purpose was to introduce the
butter to outside notice. and outsiders were
necessarily selected on the committees.
MIR. h. u. 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 PUT Up JOB?
After some more discussion it was suggested
that the exhibitors select a committee.
A Voice-That's just what has been done.
Naughter.)
Mr.. 81. D. Morse strenuously opposed any
such plan. He believed in removing the
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.
MIR. 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 motion of Mr.. Fowler.
CHURN CONTEST.
Mr.. Whittier proposed to accept Mr.. Hitch
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 III all respects.
The chair said that the committee on butter
and cheese would act as judges in the churn
contest, the Autter to begin at once.
BILL KINGS BULL.
On motion of Mr.. Truman M. Smith the fol-
lowing committee were appointed to adopt
scale of points to be used in Judging butter:
Truman B. Smith, II. D. Morse and W. S.
King.
Bill King objected to serving. He knew
nothing about butter, though he might know
lots about bull. (Laughter).
Voice-Without bull we wouldn't have
butter. Laughter.)
Bill King couldn't get away from duty.
Mr.. II. D. Morse declined also, and W. W.
Howard, of Faribault county. was appointed
in his place.
On motion the meeting adjourned until
o'clock P. N.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session was not called to order
until nearly 2:30. when 8. 8. Gardner, Wadena,
president of the association. delivered his an-
nual address. While the address was beingde-

another portion of the room, necessarily caus-
