To Dairymen and Stock Farmers.

When at the close of the 18th annual
convention of the Northwestern Dairy
mems Association, MankatO invited the
A ssociation to come again this year, it
was thought too good thing for Min
ncsota to hope for; but the three older
sisters, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa,
have gracefully granted the younger
SISTERS request. Those not present last
year have little idea of the greatness
of the favor granted. Many farmers
who were present SAID they could not
have afforded to mlss 1t for $50: An
Illinois dairyman said one particular
session was worth $500 to him, and he
will come this year; although it would
seem as if those Elgin farmers could
learn nothing about. butter. making.

convention will add 5000, 900 to the
wealth of Minnesota within three years.
I believe these figures are far too small.
One farmer said the other day that his
town is $4,000 richer by last years
convention. A 'Mankato merchant told
me last night that the grade of butter
brought in by many of his customers
had been very much raised by what
they learned at that convention and he
added, "not over 8 per cent. of the but
ter made in this county is gilt edged"
e Yet Elgin people tell us we have all
the natural advantages of a frst-class
dairying country. This applies to a
large portion Of. Minnesota. A. man

THE Minneapolis Tribune of last
Monday morning presented figures
showing the business transacted in
that city during the year. The
showing is a remarkable one, as the
increase in the volume of transactions
for 1883 over the year previous i'll
dictate an unusual growth for the
lefty of -four" The wholesale trade
of the year was $l15.55S 6l5, an in.
crease of more than Sl5,00O,000 over
the transactions of 1882. The amount
Of the manufactures was nearly fifty
million dollars, an increase of more
than ten per cent. over the output
Of '82. For everything except the
population the actual figures are gwen
all showing a fine growth for 1883.
