This roll tells the visitor wonderful story
! of MinneSeta's success in the most closely
! contested exhibition ever made in this
country. The following names, together
with the number of premiums awarded, can
not fail to impress the visitor, even thsrgh
he may have no especial interest in dairy

Seuer, 2 premiums; 4. 2. McKnstry, 4zs
pioneer creamery man of the state. Winnie

ter, 2. Mr.. Marvin had the honor Of being
| the superintendent OF the dairy exhibit at
New Orleans, and was the dairy commits
sioner for Minnesota also. Mrs. Mary 2.
Kelly, Pennington, v o made the finest dis
play OF ornamental butter ever shown any
where. In December, 1875, the writer at
tended the International Dairy Fair in New
York, where Mrs. iIcDoweu and
Mrs. WadsWorth of Minnesota made
an exhibition of ornamental butter
which completely eclipsed anything in that
line that had ever been before attempted.
These -sisters-Were piled with
questions by the New York ladies, who de-
sired to know all the minutia of butter
making, and especially how it could be
L
| seen by this that Minnesota acquired a
reputation for ornamental butter before the
| creamery interest bad been started and be-
| fore it was hardly thought OF. Frank d.

| ton, and A. E. Jones. Morristown. 1t is
| generally commented that the cheese dis
play is not as large as it should be, for
Minnesota can produce as good, if not bet
| ter, cheese than any other state in the
| Union: cheese VIII ripen here bet
| ter than elsewhere, the atmosphere
being dry and cool, and, if we are correctly
| informed, it will not be many years until
| the state viii take high rank as a cheese
| producer. Good cheese is always in de-
mand it is wholesome and palatable, and in
| foreign countries, England especially, it
forms staple OF diet among the working
| classes. A few years ago in America il
was used as a condiment, bnt as people
| come to know its value as an article Of food
it came into more general use, until in many
sections it is to be found on the table at
at every meal. 1t is cheaper than meat,

and cured. it is easy digested. An eminent
| New Yorker, authority on dairy matters,
recently said that the time was coming when
| in America as much cheese per capita
would be used as is now used in England,
in which case, he said, we will have to null
| tiply our factories in order to supply the
| demand.

| DAIRY CATTLE.
| That Minnesota is destined to become a
| great dairy state is evidenced by the growth
| of the COW population, and the fact that

( ing about them for the best breeds of cows.
