of dairy goods of any region in the United
States.
Minnesota is yet without a reputation for

ton until she becomes the empire State in her
reputation for quality and quantity of butter
and cheese productions.

imposed upon him. He thought his place was
at and in the convention or the room at all
times to impart information.

butter maker was. He knew of good judges,
who knew nothing about making butter.
