men b Association at Taribault, MINI, Mr..
John f. Ames, Of Mortified, 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 cow b feed In winter should CON

perhaps, and plenty of warm water. She

VA long series Of questions followed on the
proper feed for the COW, and then Mr.. c. LIE
breeder Of Jersey cattle, rave o 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 ofthe trouble.
j. III. Monrad, of Chicago then read paper
on the "Daries Of America; as Compared with
Those of Europe" Mr.. Monrnd is q German
and q jolly good fellow, who is the life Of the
party when the convention is not in session.
He thought thattthe best creamery men in
Europe might learn to hustle a. little from
Americans, while Americans night learn from
foreigners attention to details. Cheese is
more of a feature in dairy work in Europe,
and a demand, is made for it by making a
large variety Of the goods to suit oil tastes.
He would not speak against the factories,
but he thought the best results could be at
tanned in private factories. Cooperative
creameries in Denmark are worked quite sue
cessfully. He advised that the buttermaker
in large diaries be given D share ofthe profits
let him have q interest in the business. He
then read an extract from his diary written
in Holland, in which he described acreamery
in Holland, which was q 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 q talk by
A. Van Hammert on d%ehorning cattle.
3 MI q RESOLUTIONS. E "
Chairman Lampman, ofthe resolution com
mittee, read the following report, which was
adopted by sections: Il &Ms5
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, m~onopolizing 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 a penal offense to manufac.
ture, import or sell intoxicating liquor in
Ea 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.

of eminent domain.
