THE DAIRYaDEPARTMENT.


When it was announced that there would
be display of dairy products al the state
fair, few people perhaps, thought that
there would be more than an ordinary
show, as they had not realized that Min
nesota had made any advance in this in
dustry. consequently, when they have Wis
tied this department, they have expressed
great surprise at finding so much butter
here, and that, too, of the finest quality
that it Is possible to make. Among the
exhibitors in this department are
Messrs. Marvin & Cammack, of Roches-
ter, who show several samples of extra
choice butter and cheese; the North Star
creamery. of Lanesbore; &. p. McKinstry,
of Winnebago City; the Wells creamery,
A. J. FELTON,, of Plainyiew; Hestcork q
Hemer. Rushford: VIM. Murphy, Sleepy

=
designs are very artistic, and in large
letters formed of the oleaginous ma tier,
are the words, Welcome to the Dairy De-
partment, Mrs. W. w. Gilbert" This dis
play attracts much attention, and received
many fattering notices.
THE BENEFIT.
THE GLOBE hopes that the creamery
men and farmers will be benefited by the
display made in the dairy department, and
we may be modest yet claim that we have
done this industry much good by the
able, comprehensive and ex-
haustive reports published
from day 10 day in our columns. The
farmers VINO save the papers with their re-
ports IL will without doubt have secured a
proper foundation for successfully COM
mencing this business. The GLOBE being
newspaper, and willing to aid in all good
work which may tend to benefit its read
ers. is aware OF the fact that it struck a
popular chord when it announced that the
dairy department would receive especial
attention AT the hands of our re-
porters That we have fulfilled our
promise is fully verified by the unusual
demand for copies on the grounds. The
good work thus begun will go on.
BUTTER BALLS.
The Chicago Prairie Farmer has placed in
the dairy department an elegant solid sill
yer salver, which will be awarded to the
exhibitor showing the best herd of milking
cows. Outsiders are contributing their
share toward encouraging this industry,
and our own people fully appreciate the
efforts made.
From the inquiries made at this depart
ment it is evident that many new creamer
les will be put in operation in the spring.
The superintendent yesterday furnished
plans for one cheese and butter factory,
and for two creameries for parties living
in the southwest portion of the state.
Probably but few combined butter and
cheese factories will be built in the state,
as outside of the territory tributary to
Rochester. the farmers prefer only the
gathered cream plan and by that system only
butter is made. We may give our readers
an article on this system and its advant-
ages before the close of the fair.
During the remaining days of the fair,
farmers should not fail to be on hand and
carefully examine the butter, cheese and
dairy implements. and learn as much as
possible about this industry, which is des-
tined to add so much to the wealth of the
state. and make the farmers independent
in SO short a time. The farm
.ers of Illinois. Wisconsin and
Iowa, were discouraged by the continuous
failure CT the wheat crop, and were hope
lessly in debt. when as a last resort. and
with about as much hope as a drowning
man has when he reaches for straw, they
saw that there would be relief and a com
potency if they would diversity their farm
ing. So adding COWS. they soon saw the
silver rays of the golden promise, which
eventually became ii reality of wealth for
them. And what they have done can be
done by the farmers of Minnesota. if they
will bur embrace the opportunity which
now offers. VIII they do it: The GLOBE
hopes they viii.
