State Dairymsn's Association.
At the annual meeting of the State Dairy
mems Association at Faribault, Mimi, Mr..
John F. Ames, of North6sld, said: He
believed the dairy COW was the salvation Of
many Minnesota farms. Care should be
exercised in the feed of the COW. She should
also be treated considerably. No dog had
yet been invented suitable to drive dairy
cows. The cows feed in winter should con-
sist of good hay, sheaf oats, some ensilage
perhaps, and plenty of warm water. She
should not be kept in a place where water
will freeze. 1t is a good scheme to have a
well in or near the barn where the water can
be pumped and distributed to the cows
without turning them out. 1t
doesn't pay to kick cow or strike
her with the milking stool 1t causes a de-
not classify cow as good COW. which
would not net her owner $50 year.
do you notice any peculiar Odor about
the milk wlDn you are feeding ensilage?p
asked Dairy Commissioner Ives.
mo, none whatever" said Mr.. Ames.
A long series of questions followed on the
proper feed for the COW, and then Mr.. c. LIE
vesconte, Of Hastings, an importer and
breeder Of Jersey cattle, gave a talk on
"Ropy Milk" The speaker simply related
his experience, without suggesting any rem.
edy, for he said he had seen in none of the
books or papers an explanation of the trouble.
j. H. Monrad, of Chicago then read paper
on the Diaries of America as Compared with
Those of Europe" Mr. Monrad is German
and a jolly good fellow, who is the life of the
party when the convention is not in session.
He thought that the best creamery men in
Europe might learn to hustle little from
Americans, while Americans might learn from
foreigners attention to details Cheese is
more of a feature in dairy work in Europe.
and Il demand is made for it by making q
large variety of the goods to suit all tastes.
He would not speak against the factories,
but he thought the best results could be at
tained in private factories. Cooperative
creameries in Denmark are worked quite sue
cessfully. He advised that the buttermaker
in large dairies be given q share ofthe profits
let him have an interest in the business. He
then read an extract from his diary written
in Holland, in which he described creamery
in Holland, which was combination of sta
BILE and dairy, SO clean that the cheese were
being cured in the same room where the COWS
were being kept.
The paper was one of the most entertaining
of the session. 1t was followed by talk by
A. Van Hammert on dehorning cattle.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Chairman Lampman, ofthe resolution COM
mittee, read the following report, which was
adopted by sections:
We reassert all the main planks in the plat
form heretofore adopted by the territorial
alliance. Believing that the entire financial
system of our nation is controlled in the in
terests of capitalists, we therefore emphati-
cally condemn the organization of trusts and
combinations for unnaturally raising prices
of manufactured articles, reducing values of
farm products, monopolizing transportation
and improperly controlling our God-given
fuel supply; second, again recognizing the
direful effect of usury as practiced, we ask for
the passage of strict usury laws.
Resolved, That we ask the council and
house of representatives to pass bill making
it unlawful and penal offense to manufac-
ture. import or sell intoxicating liquor in
the Territory of Dakota, believing that such
law would be of incalcuable benefit and to
the interest and happiness of all the people
of Dakota. Third-Believing the people of
North and South Dakota will be soon called
upon to take action in framing and adopting
constitutions for their respective states, we
deem it of great Importance that the people,
especially the farmers of Dakota, be fully
alive to the Importance of standing ready
and united to see that the framing of those
constitutions be entrusted to tried and true
men who will engraft into said constitutions
the right of the people to control all corpora
tions which may use or are using the right
of eminent domain.
Whereas, we have noticed with alarming So
licitude that under the present system vot-
ing corruption and fraud is possible, and
very often practiced to the detriment of the
peoples right. We do most emphatically
urge the engrafting into the constitution the
imperative provision adopting principles
known as the Australian system of voting;
we also favor the control, ownership and
working of mineral lands by the government;
we respectfully recommend that the conven-
ton put itself on record as opposed to the
government selling any more coal land, and
in lieu thereof to lease such in limited guam
ties to parties desiring to work the same on
conditions prescribed by the government for
the equal privileges of all. We deem it for
the best interests of the people of the North
west.
Resolved That North Dakota be admitted
to the Union as soon aspracticablelunder the j
constitution to be framed by her people, and
chat the dividing line be the seventh stand
ard parallel.
Resolved, That we extend the right hand
of fellowship to the Knights of Labor in the
territory and invite their cooperation in re-
lieving the farmer and laborer from the bur-
dens and expressions under which they now
suffer.
Resolved That all officers of the territory
appointed by the president should receive no
direct or indirect, than that
provided by the general government.
Resolved, That we believe the alliance work
has been directed under the present manage
and that we heartily endorse this action.
The following additional resolutions, upon
which the committee was divided, were re-
ported without recommendation:
First, that exemption laws should be modi- |
fed and limited; second, that law be en-
acted making notes and contracts void when
obtained through fraud though in the hands
of innocent parties; third, that the executive
committee be requested to take steps to in
sure the dissemination among the people of
Dakota of information concerning the work |
of the legislature; fourth, the members of
this committee from South Dakota, believing
that there ore not sufficient safeguards in
the Sioux Falls constitution to fully protect
US against corporate greed, We favor the
framing of q new constitution.
The second and third resolutions were
adopted and the fourth laid on the table |
After discussion s. Lampman introduced
resolution requesting the legislature to de-
wise some means to assist destitute farmers
who had no crop this gear to secure seed
wheat for next spring; carried. For the
place of the next annual meeting Aberdeen,
Redfeld, Watertown and Huron were placed |
in nomination Aberdeen was chosen.
Proposed Union with Canada.
Representative Butterworth of Ohio is |
very enthusiastic for commercial union be- |
tween this country and Canada. He has |
devoted much thought to this subject. and |
has formed definite plan by which he thinks |
that this union can be accomplished. This !
plan he has embodied in the following Joint |
which he introduced in the house |
at Washington.
Whereas, The citizens of the dominion of |
Canada are one with us In race, lineage, his |
tory and tradition; and, whereas. the re-
sources of the two countries supplement each |
other, and the arteries Of commerce. both nat |
