course the cows have plenty of good hay.
Her butter is marketed among the private
families of ST. Paul and Minneapolis, and
she has calls for about all she can make.
A few days ago q gentleman from Little
Rock, Ark, desired to arrange with her for
yearly supply of butter for his own table.
Thus does the fame of the Minnesota butter
makers spread through the realm.
Miss Elizabeth NJ. Leggitt of the North
oaks farm is another noted butter maker,
and one who thoroughly understands the
care of milk, cream and butter. She oper-
ateS a De Loval cream separator on the
ground, Mr.. ]. J. Hill of the Northoaks
farm having loaned this for the occasion.
She makes about 200 pounds of choice gilt
edge butter, which is sold to private famil-
les in st. Paul at an average of 80 cents
per pound. Mr.. Hilfs dairy operations are
carried on the year around; his cows are all
thoroughbreds-Je Short Horns and
Polls, and the dairy-houSe is a model of
neatness and comfort. and supplied with all
the appliances necessary to aid in making
good butter.
Besides the above there are hundreds
more ladies who know how to make gilt-edge
butter, and they are proving good educators
and stimulating others to emulate them.
The dairy maids are an honor to the state
and deserve credit for what they have done.
CREAMERY VS.. DAIRY BUTTER.
''Why don't you give dairy butter puff;
why always creamery; amt dairy good?"
The questions came quick and fast, in a
high treble key and as we turned to behold
the speaker, saw it was a lady, and we re-
piled: I'VE do; we mention creamery so
often because it is a leading industry; yes,
dairy butter is good, and as she went away

and as we thought we evolved the follow
ing, which We had absorbed, " and thought
good application could be made of it. In
radius containing 500 little farms, on
churning day 500 women empty 500 cream
jars at 500 temperatures into 500 churns,
and 500 small boys are kept from school OF
other work to continue their hatred of the
farm by 500 hours of labor at those 500
churns. Then the 500 women work the
500 lots of butter into 500 little dabs, with
500 different fiayorS, colored 500 different
shades of yellow, and sold at groceries for
500 different prices, and yet butter-naking
don't pay. What is the sensible way of
doing this work? Let the farmers come
together and start a joint stock
company put up factory with good but
termaker and two or three men to help
him, and then let those 500 lots of milk be
brought to their factory and be made up
into one kind of tirst-class butter that sells
as a uniform article at a uniform price, and
then let these 500 women and 500 boys go
to work at something more profitable and
something they know more about. If you
can't get good buttermaker, turn the
creamery into cheese factory.
PERSONALS AND NOTES.
Hon. John Frank of Leroy called at the
GLOBE Office yesterday. He is a large
farmer and stockman, and also makes
cheese. He manufactures full creams,
limburger and .'brick'' cheese. The latter

makes unusually fine butter, and fire.
quently carries off the highest honors at the
fairs.
In the hurry in footing up the score on
cheese on Thursday evening, all error was
made TO the effect that Mr. Sloan of Red
wood Falls had taken the sweepstake prize
for dairy cheese. Yesterday morning the
judges discovered the error, and gave the
premium to 81. N. Mathson of Fairbault.
The dairy department of the GLOBE dur
ing thefaif has been repiete with facts and
instruction which will be of great benefit to
the farmers of the state. The reports have
been full and intelligently presented, and
the farmers have fully appreciated the en-
terprise of the GLOBE in giving so much
space to the dairy department. Most of
this matter will be republished in the
weekly next week.
