ter was very creditable as compared with other
States. When the dairymen Of the East were
informed that it was made from our native

from over everything else in that class. 1t

Nothing to compare with it was ever before on

est and most graceful compliments.

The committee appointed to procure from
the State an appropriation to assist the society
in publishing its essays, submitted lengthy
report from Hon. J. b. West, Of Winnebago,
chairman of the committee: MIR. West stated
that although he did all in his power to pass a
bill having for its object the necessary appro-
priation, the number of votes necessary to Sc
cure its passage could not be obtained. This,
Mr.. West says, was due to three reasons; the
lateness of the session when the bill
was introduced; the lack of in
terest by those who are farmers ,s;;
at the time the bill was introduced. The re-
port suggested that a committee be appointed
to try the thing again. On motion the report
| was adopted and the president authorized to
| appoint committee of six. A letter was read
from r. D. McGlincy, secretary of the North
western Dairyuen's association, OF
Illinois, stating that at the an
nual meeting of that organization
action was to be taken in reference to oleomar-
eerine and asking the cooperation of the Min.
nesota society in driving it from the land. u
The reading Of this letter caused lengthy
discussion.

New York he had inquired particularly into

merchants in that city, and who, while holding
an office in the International Dairy fair,

place of business. The compound found a
| large and ready sale in New York city, and the
