now TO MAKE PREMIUM BUTTER.
If the various thoughts and emotions which
pass through the mind of farmers wife
when she thinks about taking some butter
| TO show at the fair were written out il would
be strange reading She knows her butter
is just as good as the best that anybody
makes anywhere. but if she takes it to the
fair she won't get a premium, because the
judges always give the premiums to their
friends. 1t will be wise for our good butter
makers TO lay Immediately aside all their
misgiyings and fears. The society offers ten
first premiums, and at least ten good butter
makers will each take one of these premi-
ums. Mr.. L. P. Dowse offers two special
premiums. which will be taken by two of the
ten. If our Kenosha merchants are as lib
eral as has been suggested, they viii offer
eight special premiums. The judges will be
selected from those whose regular business
is handling choice butter, and they will not
know who is competing. The great question
is how to make butter that will command
premium at the fair and in the market.
Miss Fanny Morley. of Baraboo, Wis, made
the butter that took The sweepstakes pre-
MUM in competition with the world At
the last State Dairymen's Convention she
read a description of how she made it, and
dairymcn wins had made butter for years
asked her all about her process OF making.
All seemed anxious 10 know il she had any
new methods or processes by which she
made more excellent butter. Ii she had
she kept them secret Her method MS shc
described il is not different from Tint prac-
| ticcd in all large diaries. The perfection Of
her butter resulted from the excellence OF
appliances and extreme nicely and skill in
all the operations of the dairy Miss Nor
ley had faith in hcl butter; she had courage
TO put il on exhibition with the most re-
east. and Of England. and che was duly re-
warded. viii our farmers wives have the
faith and courage TO show their butter nj

| MANUF1 CTURERS AND AGENTS.
A good and large display of farm machln-
cry and implements at county fair is one Of
the most valuable and interesting features
A large share Of the work on farm is done
L
now by machines and horse power. 1t is
safe to say that the labor done by horse
power machinery could not be accomplished
by four times the number of men employed
Manufacturers and mechanics are coniinu-
ally improving on the old models and in
venting new machines 10 lessen the hand
labor of The farmer. The almost magical
skill with which our reapers, mowers, self
rakes, binders, culiivaiors and threshing
machines accomplish their work would throw
into the shade the widest fairy story. And
how much more hand labor can be done with
the light, strong, scientifically constructed
tools of the day. and with how much greater
ease TO the farmer. Manufacturers and
their agents will wisely further their own
interests by displaying at our fair full line
of machines and implements of every kind.
There is no surer way 10 bring your manu-
factures to the notice of intelligent men, and
secure candid examination, than by exhib
ting them at an agricultural exhibition, and

may be good "speed trials" but they do not
fully satisfy the substantial farmer. He
wants his "speed" put into his work with
good tools and good machines IL there is d
good display Of these he will 60 away from
the fair feeling that it has been success
The manufacturer and agent will reap their
reward in future and perhaps Immediate
customers.
