announce to you. gentlemen, We are on the eve
VI grand success. The fame of this cane has
gone far and wide; and am proud of having
made the first dry sugar from cane ever made
IN Minnesota. And to the st. Paul chamber Of
commerce we feel under great Obligations for
calling the attention to the world that sugar
had been made in Minnesota. There was
the aiding and abetting'' Of what
1s ,.s, soon to revolutionize this whole business
Inere was one other man that some of the
newspaper men cast out his name IA an en-
thuslast that has rendered by words Of en-
conragement substantial aid.
Some Of you may never have heard the
story. Three years ago l made my first sugar
OF any amount-abont GOO pounds. The State
1alr was held at Minneapolis two years ago and
premium Of $5 was offered for tho best
sample Of beet sugar. Thinking to win the
80. which at that time looked large, took
pail of amber sugar to Minneapolis, thinking
should secure the S5. BY some means the
sugar did not get premium, and l returned
nome disguised, and declared that I had went
to the last State fair where thousands was paid
Aot 1ast horses, and not q cent for what con-
sldered was of more worth to the State than
anything at the fair. But after a few DAYS
Mr.-U y. Holiester, in whose charge left the
s"ear, wrote that did not get any premium,
bnt that the committee Of agriculture had
found tho pail Of sugar, and that he wanted
And IN one or two years more
L am sure the committee will be recognized as
DONG this State great service.
few words about the State fair and the ex-
hlbit of sugar. I :hink others will bear me
out in saying nothing attracted SO much atten-
ton as the display of sugars. Now, very
much doubt if in other States their syrup will
grannlate as in Minnesota; if it docs, / have
yet to hear Of it. Mr.. Miller and 1 propose to
place with the Historical society jar of our
sugar as landmark for time to come.
We have received the congratulations of
President Clark, of the Agricultural College of
Amharst. He says it will be planted largely
next season in Massachusetts,. l can assure
you that your society has in generous manner
recognized this industry, and has told the world
what Minnesota is about to do, and believe me,
he time will soon come when it will be an
honor to have 'hobby," though it be ''lasses."
will close by saying: ';Now have a sheep and
COW; everybody bids me good morrow
Mr.. Kenney, after the delivery of his i'd
dress, was called upon for some explanatory
remarks on the mode of cutting and preserving
the cane, and other interests that the address
did not cover, all of which he proceeded to ex-
plain in clear and comprehensive manner.
he also exhibited specimens of syrup, and in
formed the audience that at the St. Paul cham
ber of commerce they could see not onIy
samples of syrup, but the pure sugar, rich and
golden.

Only few years ago good Western butter in
New York came from the Western Reserve in
Ohio. Now it goes there from the great Mis-
sissipri valley.
In the closing hours of the great Internation-
al Dairy fair. held in New York the first of last
December, Mr.. Folsom, one of the oldest and
one of the leading butter and cheese commits
sion merchants in that city, said 'the present
exhibition had by far surpassed the exhibition
of dairy products of the Centennial exhibition
in 1876, at which Mr., John Stewart, Of Iowa,
received the first premium for butter, thus
bringing the West into prominence as source
ut supply for the finest qualities of butter.
Time was when the butter Of the West was
styled (;tnd not very unj Justify grease; now it
was universally sought rs an article Of COM
mcrcc, being the best in quality produced in
the United Statcs and hence the most easily
marketable"
WESTERN PREMIUMS.
Now let us see if we cannot take courage in
looking at the premiums the West carried off
at this great international dairy fair
~ Best creamery or factory butter made in
November, 1S7S-First prize, John Stewart,
Anamosa, Jones county, Iowa.
For best made in January, 1873, diploma
berry Point, Iowa. For the best made in Oc-
tobcr, 1873, the first prize was awarded to
Chadwick Il Stewart, Anamnsa. Iowa.
The above were awertHtake prizes in cnmpe-
tltinn with ali the States represented at that
fair as well rs Canada AND parts of England.
For the best creamery butter made in the
State of Iowa Il. y. Sherman & Co., Monticel-
10, Jones county, took the first prize and John
Stewart, Anamosa, Jones county, the second.
For the best dairy better made on the conti-
nent Of Europe the first prize was awarded to
Jabul Webb and for the best dairy butter made
at any time or place, Il. D. Sherman, Monticel-
10 county, Iowa.
Thus has Jones county, Iowa. 230 miles on

achieved reputation greater than that of

THE STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.

The Festival now being held at the Opera
House is grand success In point of elegance
and high degree of respectable and also
promises to BE- financial success, a fact which
all right thinking people will be glad to learn
About one hundred people took lunch there
yesterday, and it was voted as the best lunch
ever spread on the stage, by pronounced ep-
icures. Last evening the Opera House was
again visited by a large concoarse of
pleasure seekers, who found all they
were looking for. Dancing was the main
feature of the evening, and was generally par
ticipated in; for what dancing person Can
sit still when Varneys good music is running
with full head of steam on. One most ex-
cellent feature about this festival, and one
worthy Of imitation is, that a visitor is not
mounted from all sides by anxious vendors of
articles; gentleman can pass the whole even
ing at this entertainment without once being
asked to purchase anything In yesterdays
report the coffee stand was overlooked, which
is admirably and it is to be hoped proftably
conducted, by Mrs. Howe, Mrs. Willets, Mrs.
Grey and Miss Francis Hodg klnson: and also
Miss Lilien6eld who assists at the fancy table.
Miss Morris, of Empire, and Miss Farrell
have the tickets for the picture rattle in charge.
If aniability is one of the virtues requisite
for success, these young ladies will make
good showing at the close of the festival.
To-day there will be another
fine lunch spread, and just thing
of it lily white hands and angelic faces will
serve it at fifty cents per conset. Tonight
the Ode Folkes' Concerto takes place, which
will prove a treat of no ordinary character.
The ladies have gone to such great expense
to make this affair what it should be, that they
find it necessary to rake in the money where
ever they can, consequently they will charge
one bit each for the concert programmes.
This charge is so very reasonable that no one
will object, and it is eminently proper that no
one should.
