buU I recognize no duty in the
state of greater Importance than to en-
| courage and strengthen the agricultural
interests of the country and to develop and
build up that particular one which you
have met here to advance and encourage.
Iregard it as a good sign that the farmers
of the Northwest and particularly of Min
nesota, should turn their attention to some
thing else than growing grain, system OF
farming which IN the end impoverishes the
land and its owner alike. You will not
expect me at this time to say much upon
the subject of dairying. In my early boy
hood l was raised upon a farm and
wrestled many day with the old fashioned
churn dasher until l thought eternity
would come before the but
ter did and you can COM
prehend why at that period 1 did not wish
to encourage the dairy interest, laughter
and cheers but tO-day,with the improved
appliances and machinery for dairy use,it
is one of the most pleasant and profitable
systems of farming. l am much gratifed
to learn and witness the fact that this con-
vention has proven a success and on be-
half of the state of Mime
sofa give cordial welcome
I
here in the common interest which has for
its end the advancement of this great
branch of industry. We believe our state
of Minnesota can excel in whatever she
undertakes. and as she has in the past ex-
celIed all her sisters in the distribution Of
her enormous surplus of breadstufs all
over the civilized world, so she will in time
excel in the amount and excellence of her
dairy products. To you of other states
would say, look we'll to your laurels in this
line for Minnesota is now in the field.
THE RESPONSE.
President Hoard, of the association, then
responded in one of his humor-
GUS and telling speeches. He well
coined the governor in fitting words
and said she was glad to see and welcome
broad-chested governor who honored the
association by his presence. The North
western Dairymen's association were
broad-chested fellows, and when they met
a man who was of that description, and
wide between the eyes, they always said
shake" and suiting the action to the
words he gave the governor hearty grip.
Geh. Baker being called upon yociferously
came to the front, but remarked as he was
down on the bills for speech in the even
ing he would only thank them for the
courtesy they did him, and wait till evening.
