and the abundant yield of all butter
producing grains, mark Minnesota as the
Banner State in this great industry. l
appeal, therefore, to you, whose pros
perity lies in this interest, to sustain by
yonr Individual action and influence, the
effort to place Minnesota where she be-
longs in this gigantic competitive ex-
hibition.
The most liberal inducements are offer
ed to secure displays from private diaries,
as well as from creameries and cheese
factories. Do not let the fact that your
dairy is small deter you from making an
exhibit. The quantity is not always an
exponent OF quality, and do not hesitate
on account of expense. The rates of
freight are such that you cannot get your
cheaply as to New Orleans, so that if you
do not take premium your returns from
your butter will meet all expense above
your usual market, whel ever that may be.
The system of shipping, selling, and
storing exhibits are perfect, and manu-
facturers can do no better than to con-
sign their products TO the care of the
dairy department. The Minnesota But
ter, Cheese, Dairy and Stock Association
will make collective exhibit, and we
request the consignment Of packages to
the care of the association
The annual meeting will be held in
Austin, Minnesota, the third Tuesday in
November, and we invite all who are i'll
terested in the dairying to meet with us.
While the association will take especial
pains to encourage exhibitors to cooper
ate with the association, it will not merge
any individual or association in its plans
or successes. We want simply to help
this great interest through you to whom,
as producers, belong the honor and the
profit of the exhibit. The dairy exhibit
does not open until January 10, 1885,
and entries can be made until December
IS, 1884, They should, however, be
made early, SO that transportation and
storage may be provided. Let us hear
from you. Ask any question that trou-
bles you. An entry in this department
secures you ticket to the entire expo
sition and special rates to New Orleans.
Besides this, as special inducements,
note the following from the State Board
of Collective Exhibits:
