the virtues of various kinds of
grass, consequently the necessity OF each
individual agricultdrlst to continually
experiment on the subject. The speaker
| devoted considerable time to the ques-
ton of butter -favoring, which he claim
ed was due to the kind of grass fed the
COW. He thought the time would come
when butter would be favored artific-
tally, the same as other articles used on
the table. The great reputation of
Pennsylvania butter for fine flavor was
due to the grasses of that state contain
ing ben8oic acid. Western butter could
be made with the same flavor, if benzoic
acid could be made fine enough. which
is impossible. There is no article in the
world which is so sensitive to odOrs as
butter. If roses grow near a cellar
where butter is made, that butter will
be imbued with the flavor of the rose.
Col. Littler interrupted the speaker to
tell a Joke on Philadelphia. When in
that city, recently, on association bust
ness, he visited a large commission
house, and was given to understand he
was not wanted in the butter room. Not
withstanding which he got in, seeing
men and women working over butter.
On turning over the tubs from which the
butter was taken, he discovered them to
be from Iowa. So much for Philadelphia
fine butter
Mr.. Kuleshof, on being presented to
the convention, made few remarks, ex-
pressive of his qualification on meeting
with the dairymen of America.
Mr.. Seaman, of New York, made few
remarks on the subject of butter flavor
and coloring. He claimed that different
localities produced different favored
butter, which would always be the case,
owing to the various kinds OF grasses
grown. Mr.. Seaman condemned the
use of butter coloring.
The following telegram was read by
the secretary from the Manhattan hay
and produce exchange, New York.
Our intelligent friends in convention assem-
bled representing dairy and kindred interests,
must not forget that hay and straw, well cured
and cared for, make better butter. nicer cheese,
cleaner eggs. brighter homes, happier faces
and larger bank accounts than can be expected
otherwise. Accept our cordial greeting. Your
interests are identical with our country's, and
both are only beginning to be developed
J. B. Harris, of Stratford, Canada,
entertained the convention with a short
sketch on cheese making. After the
conclusion of his remarks, numerous
questions put by members on matters
concerning the manufacture of cheese
were answered by Mr.. Harris.
Thursdays and Fridays sessions were
AIKEN up with discussions. Only two
officers were elected: Jno. J. Nc
Donald, of Philadelphia, president and
Col. r. NJ. Littler, of Iowa, vice presi-
dent. On Saturday the business before
the convention was finished aud then it
adjourned sine de.
