A paper was read by o. G. Greg. of Mar
shall, How to Make,Farming IN Minnesota
Successful. He said:
The STYLE of farming in this section of
Minnesota for the past ten years has not
proved it q paying business. Mortgages are
stacked up iii every county and great pros
perity is not apparent. Successful farming
IS not connected exclusively with grain rais-
ing. 1t must include stock raising. Wheat
raising, If successful, must in the future
mean to take cheap wheat to the worlds
market. On experience in wheat raising
is not promising for this section. But Min
nesota is the very first as an oat state, second
as a rye state, third as a corn stale, and in
the higheat place we must put the produc-
ton of grasses. Blue grass, timothy end
clover are perfectly adapted here. Acre fer
ara we cannot be beaten in these. We have

On the arrangement of creameries c. ID.

among patrons.
II. A. Holmes of Chatield followed on the
anne subject:

The last point was disputed by Secretary
Rice, Mr.. Huston and Col. Littler.
Mr.. A. P. McKinstry read a paper on the
best methods of testing cream. He said,

Thuraday morning alter an inspection of
the dairy fair, the association listened to
the lecture of DR.. Grange on health of ami
mails. He took up first the cause of abor-
ton, naming arnoag these:
Very cold water in later season before pr
t%urition. Frosted food, especially 70 IS.
impure water. Excessive muscular e~xertion
AID excitement. Animals threatened with
abortion should be kept quiet. Ss1atives
should be administered, such as tinc'ure Of
laudannm or chloral hydrate, andlkept in a
carefully ventilated room. If the mother
is properly cared for, milking should be
stopped six months before the Birth of the
calf; should be carefully fed, but not made
too lat; allowed plenty of outdoor exercise;
no surgical operations. After calving,
mother kept in a comfortable place for a
few days. The calf as soon as born should
be attended to. Membranes removed from

There was a discussion on the Schoch &
Bolender system of testing cream. A. P.
Mckinsley and c.. A. Houston advocated it,
and believed that this would in time pre-.
