Mr.. Fowler said that tons of butter had
been brought to and sold out of this market
| that was worse and more unwhOlesOme
than ever oleomargerine could be.
MIR. Ives thought any attempt to drive oleo-
margarine out of the market by laws would be
o species of class legislation, and would have q

cause it was cheaper, why, let them do 30.
Although he was in favor Of q law requir-
ing the stamping of all the mixture placed in
the market, he did not want to be one to ask
for legislation to drive it from the market.
The general opinion of the members seemed to
be that tho only way to do away with olsomar-
gerine was to make butter of such a superior
quality as would drive it from the market.
On motion, the communication was laid on
the table.
Mr. Hoag said with good clover and COWS the
best butter in the United States was made in
Minnesota. (Applause.) Messrs. Hoag and
whether or not red clover would grow In field
without any aeed being sown. The discussion
which would have lasted indefinitely was
closed by call for question.
Mr.. Bass gave his idea of how dairy work
and butter making should be done to
make a fine article, and deplored
the state OF the market which
keepers in country towns did not pay any
price for good butter, but called all kinds
alike, and paid for good, bad, and Indifferent.
the same price.
Mr.. Sweet thought that by fixing
a standard Of quality, and paying prices
in comparison, this trouble could be done away
with.
Mr.. Clifford said there should be some way
to ship a surplus Of good butter to the Eastern
market If prices could not be obtained here.
He thought it would help raise the
price and do some injury to oleomargerine.
MIR. Saunders stated that the dealers in the
East paid about the same price Us they did in
this market, the feet was no encouragement
was given for making gilt edge butter. The
distinction in quality was not made; butter
should be graded as wheat is and prices paid
accordingly. He was of the opinion that
boards of trade, such as were
in operation in New York State,
was what was needed. At this point rules and
regulations governing such an organization
were read by Mr. Sanders. In reply to some
remarks made in regard to the rates of chip
ping butter from st. Paul and vicinity to New
York and Chicago, George O. Lawrence, agent
of the Merchants Despatch Transportation COM
pany, gave a table of rates.
He said that last fall butter was shipped
from St. Paul to New York in refrigerator cars
for seventy-hve cents per hundred pounds,
and that the railroad companies would gladly
furnish refrigerator cars to any point in the
State if a car load of freight was guaranteed.
Mr. Viscoute stated that he had shipped but
ter East and had received forty cents per
pound for 1t.
MIR. Deering said as good prices could be OBJ

as in the East; he knew of
several parties who had contracts to furnish
butter the year round at thirty-fve cents per
pound, and could not supply the demand. Mr..
Vieconte read lengthy and interesting address
on the superiority of the Jersey breed of cows
over other breeds for dairy purposes, and Civ
ing statistics which he had kept for the past
nine months. He also called attention to the
lack of judgment displayed by persons who
acted as judges of cattle ct fairs.
A tvote of thanks was rendered Mr.. Wis
conte and the meeting adjourned to meet this
morning at 0 o'clock.
The programme for to-day is a very interest
ing one. An address will be delivered by Col.
