national fair at New York, when, almost un
known as state, Minnesota took the first prize
for ornamental butter. i
Make good butter and you need fear no con-
petition in any market. In the last four wears
l have noticed more improvement in butter in
this state than anywhere else in the Union
This because of the necessity of Minnesotians
turning from wheat to the cow, and there is
nothing on earth that will raise mortgage
cent more to make good butter than poor. and
the monetary return is great

spoke upon s'The Care of Milk and Cream, and
Dairy Stock" He said: There are very few
persons engaged in dairying in our state who
feel that our dairy stock is as good as it should
be, or as it viii be in the future. The COWS
have not been trained for long and heavy milk
ing; neither has the feed or care given them
had a tendency to that end, and the average
Minnesota farmer has not developed a real
love for milking ten or more cows twice each
day. This is the situation now, but our state
will not remain in it long. Our dairies in
this part of the state will average about ten
cows each. Forsuch dairy, for each month
of the year, July and August excepted, there
should be COW fresh in milk. This would
ensure equal butter for the entire year For
food there should be the best possible pasture
and some green food for soiling. For this pur-
to two acres of this will be enough. field of
pumpkins comes very handy for feeding in the
fall The seeds should be removed and pump
kins cut up before feeding The COWS should
be fed and MIXED in the stable

Capt. E. E. Cults of Faribault spoke on the
dairy COW for cheese or milk. He advises
Holstein or Aylesford for butter The Jersey

than other breeds and costs but two thirds as
much to keep. IF you can't get pure stock

stampton said a few words on Jerseys.
President William fowler said he did not quar-
