side, the speaker found the temperature inside
his stable "a deg. above, Light and %ventila-
ton are important requisites: Windows should
be on the south and east. Ventilators should
be placed in the roof, so foul air may escape.
Plenty of good water should be within conven-
lent distance of the barn. Another objectionis
that the feeding season in this state is toolong.
This is a mistake. Make the cattle debtors for
abundant feed and creditors for plenty of good
butter and cheese furnished in return. Ih

Farmer of a New Country Than Grain Rails
ing!s The speaker began by contrasting tho
farmers of Wisconsin under the wheat raising
system with that they now enjoy in the bust
ness of d~airyiig. The dairying is a more Ger
tain business than grain growing. One objec-
If not entirely, consumed in shipping and plac-
ing 1t in the market. The labor in dairying is
light, and extends through the entire year, in
utter contrsst to grain growing.

subject of "Feeding for Profit in Minnesota"
was then read byH. G. Howard Of Lake Crys-
tai. He said: ''Plenty of grass is the founda-
ton of successful daiiying,' is a motto which
every dalryman should remember and con-
stantiy bear in mind. l have not seen any bet
tor soil raising grass than is to be found
IN Southern Minnesota and Northern
country can raise ezra grass and a hay with as little tile
expense as this section. While our wild grass
hay if cut early,) they are not the best for
dairy purposes, owing to the fact that
they begin to dry up about the LIST of August,
and after that time they are a poor milk-pro-
ducinS food compared with blue grass, tfno-
thy and clover. We can grow these tame grass
es to perfection here, and dairymen should
turn under their prairie sod pasture and get
tame grasses growing at the earliest possible
moment to insure greater profits.
With q good clover and timothy pasture
your COWS will make as much butter in October
and November as they will make in June on
wild grass. Cows relish a variety of food: a
change of diet sharpens their appetite. Afced
of roots given to q COW will make her relish her
grain ration better. and every dairyman should
raise q good supply of them. Mangel-wurzels
are splendid food for milch lows and calves.
You can grow mongel-wurzels at a cost of only
one cent for twenty pounds: five cents for1W
pounds: 81 per ton. What other food of equal
value can be purchased for five times that
amounty

The afternoon session opened with the read

ing most decided preference 50 the Holsteins or
Dutch Fresians:
W. B. Cromwell of Storm Lake, Iowa, read o
paper, which was discussed at length, Oil
mistakes Under the Cream Gathering SYSTEM
Mr.. Anderson, a prominent New York commits
SION man, stated that he found the Storm Lake
butter good grain, clean and free from i'm
purities on the trier. The fact that the trier
comes out greasy and not clean on the
back shows butter to be oyerworked Mr..
Cromwell did not think second working neces-
sary on account of buttermilk, but to add solid
ity. Buttermilk can be gotten out on first
working. Think the majority of creameries
work but once.
''Butter, and Butterine' is the title Of a paper
read by Joseph Lampson of Storm Lake, Iowa.
He said the imitationo of creamery butter is so
very perfect that even experts are puzzled in
deciding as to what is butter and what is but
ter1ne, when samples are placed before them.
In my Judgment three things ought to be done
by MS with a view of meeting and
combating not only this evil, but
all others of a kindred nature,
First-Al who are interested in farming and
farm industries, whether directly engaged in
the dairy business or not, ought to unite in de-
manding that a national law be enacted cover
ing food of adnlterations, somewhat similar to
the laws of France and England on the same
subject
