AN ADDRESS.
To The Stoek-raisers, Dairymen, and
PrOprietOrs of Creameries and
Cheese Factories in Mime


sofa.
IT IS matter Of great Importance 10 the
dairy and stock raisers Of Minnesota, that
these interests be fully represented at the
Worlds Industrial Exposition to be held at
New Orleans the coming winter. Beyond
question this win be the greatest aggregation
Of peoples, industries and products ever
brought together in one place, in The history
Of the world. Not only are the arrangements
made on the most magnificent scale, but the
interest awakened and the cooperation Of
! Governments and people Of every nation in
| the world, and the collections already gath
cred, established the statement that men
have never seen the like OF this last and
greatest OF the Worlds Great Fairs.
There is a special significance 10 Mluneso-
IA Dairymen in this Exposition, from
the fact that It Is held IN the South, and
near to the South American States and Mex
ico. They are al non producing countries
and with their 65, 900, 600 OF people, they fur
nish market near at hand, with water com
munication from our doors 10 theirs. One
chief object Of the Exposition is to establish
better commercial relations between the
Mississippi Valley and the South American
States. No class Of people are so directly in
terested in this as our Dairymen, because IT
puts US into direct contact with countries
which not only do not compete with us in
Dairy products, but which must all the time
depend upon other countries for these artie-
les. We want Minnesota Dairymen TO be
equal 10 the opportunities Of this great occa-
sion. We must sec TO it that CUR exhibit in
that line shall not suffer in comparison with
that OF other states II is true that the Dairy
interest is one of the youngest in the state Of
Minnesota, but it is also one of the most
promising.
It Is now demonstrated that the healthful-
ness of our climate for stock, the salubrity
of our atmosphere, the purity Of our water.
the quality OF our soil, and OF the grasses
which II produces-the blue grass which
makes Kentucky famous growing as 10 the
"manor born" besides one hundred and
sixty native and all the cultivated variety o.
grasses----and the abundant yield Of all but
ter producing grains, mark Minnesota as the
Banner State, in this great industry. ] APP
peal, therefore, 70 you whose prosperity lies
In this interest, 10 sustain by your individu-
al action and influence, the effort 10 place
Minnesota where she belongs in this gigant-
&c competitive exhibition.
The most liberal inducements are offered
to secure displays from private diaries
well as from creame:ies and cheese factO-
ries. 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 yet your butter 10 any other gen
eral market as cheaply as TO New Orleans, so
that II you DO not take premium, your re-
turns from your butter viii meet all expense
above your usual market wherever that may
be. The system of shipping, selling and
storing exhibits are perfect, and manufact-
urers can do no better than 10 conssgn their
products TO the eareot the Dairy Depart
ment.
The Minnesota Butter, Cheese and Dairy
Stock Association will make a collective ex-
hibit, and We request the consignment OF
packages TO the care of the Association.
The annual meeting will be held in Aus
tin, Mimi, the third Tuesday Of November,
and we invite all who are interested In the
dairying to meet US. While the Associa-
ton will take especial pains 10 encourage eX-
hibitors to cooperate with the Association, il
will not merge any individual or association
in IFS plans OF successes. We want simply
to help this great interest through you TO
the profit OF the exhibit.
The Dairy exhibit does not open until
Jan. 10, 1895, and entries may be made I'M
til Dec. %, 1884. They should, however, be
made early so that transportation and stor-
age may be provided.
Let US hear from you. Ask any question
that troubles you. An entry in this depart
ment secures You a ticket to the entire Tx
position, and special rates 10 New Orleans.
