Inc commute appointed Dy Judg9 Burc-
hard to report an organization OF a butter
board of trade to be located at Mankato to be
entitled the Butter Board of Trade of south
western Minnesota was announced to be
composed of the following gentlemen: Col
Clark w. Thompson, Faribault; z. B. Clark,
Chippewa; c. E. Marvin, Olmstead; E. G.
Huntington, Cottonwood; Jno. c. Noe, Blue
Earth.
The second paper of the afternoon was
read by c. B. Beach, of Whitewater, Wiscon-
sin, the subject being 'Is dairying better
business for farmer in new country than
grain raisngp' Among the many good
things this paper contained was the statement
that the first murderer was grain raiser and
not dairyman.
The next paper, "The process Of dairying
in Wisconsin, was read by D. W. Carts, of
Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, and was full of
interesting figures and results.
A question handed in by James Murphy,
of Hammond, Wis, was read inquiring
whether a cooperative association could
proftably undertake the construction and
operation of creamery with 500 COWS and as
to what the cost of buildings and machinery
would be,''
Mr.. Straight, of Mankato, was called upon
by the president to reply, who said, in his
opinion 500 was too small lumber to at
tempt it with, that 50, 500 would furnish first
class buildings and equipments, and that his
experience was that cooperative institutions
of this character had not generally proved
successful.
Tho paper of J. A. Smith, of Cedarburg,
| Wis, ON ''Cheese Production One Of the Es-
sential factors in General Dairying," was
iBterpolated at this point. 1t was listen
ed to with great interest as the first paper up
on the cheese question, and because of its
being unusually entertaining and instruc-
| tive.
Mr. A. D. De Land, of Sheboygan Falls,
Wis, on 'The Quality, Shape and Condi-
ton of Cheese Best Adapted to Western
Markets. This paper was full
of statistics, figures and information con-
cerning cheese making in Sheboygan county,
and what kind of cheese brought the best
price and found the most ready sale. Ques-
ti9ns and replies followed this paperof very
practical and useful nature.
The weather has been simply delightful,
and at D. M, as the convention adjourns
to attend the banquet, every face wears a
satisfied air. The attendance during the day
has been about 1000
