The afternoon session began with a paper
on the "Feed and management of dairy
stock" by G. w. Whitney of Williston.
The paper was made up for the most part
Of Mr.. Whitney's own experiences in dairy
ing IN the past two years. Prof. Cooke
questioned the statement that milk from
different cows would mix and make as good
butter and make it as proitably as milk
from tho same COW. His own experiments
went TO show this lie thought that dairy
men could learn lesson from horsemen,
who did not breed generally from horse
until he had been tested

GIVE THE FARMERS A REST.

One cause that has been large burden
for the farmers to carry was not heard Of
to any extent ~ years ago and that is the
enhanced cost as compared with farmers
products of all goods produced by people
who have been getting up labor troubles
strikes and short labor days, causing loss
and stoppage and increased cost OF produc-
ton. If all these labor troubles have caused
the farmers to pay 10 or 20 per cent more
for ell kinds Of goods made By these men,
than they would have had to pay il the
labor reformers had worked the same num-
Der of hours they did 20 years since of the
same number of hours that the farmers do
now, you will see that 1t is a very serious
question for the farmers to consider, Farms
do not not fall one-half or more in value in
10 years without cause. My opinion is that
iu one leading article OF apparel, namely,
boots aud shoes, that they would be selling
at 10 to 20 per cent less than they are to
day taking into account the labor saving
machinery we now have, II cost OF pro-
duction had not been so largely enhanced
by tho changed conditions brought about by
these troubles. Now, the farmers OF tins
country will not dc anything desperate;
they will not strike, nor will they say to
people in other vacations in this country,
y,
and We will stop productions by strikes and
produce only what eight hours labor will
produce, and make you pay the enhanced
cost, or so without our food That might
bring people engaged in other trades to
their senses, but it would entail and bring
terrible suiierings TO many innocent per
sons. They are law abiding people so
they won't do that. There is danger how
ever, that some of the farmers who feel the
depression badly in some OF the newer States
may strike out blindly and say, any change
cannot be worse, and ally themselves with
a party who will go for free coinage and
other financial measures which might soon
bring this country into the same terrible
condition the Argentine Confederation Is
experiencing. But says an honest advo-
cate OF an eight hour law, els there no
help for us | answer, only one way
whereby an eight hour day of labor can be
maintained. That can bs attained by an
international agreement of ell civilized
nations to make eight hours days work

purpose of finding fault with any class of
! lsborers, but simply give it as one OF the

Is no good reason why our people should
not prepare and place upon the British
market butter which would stand on par
with the best Danish product"
COLD STORAGE STEAMSHIP SERVICE.
1t may seem strange that we have no
refrigerator rooms in our lines OF
steamers plying between the United
States and Europe, in which butter
can DO stored at temperature of 81 de-
grees to 3S degrees, so, therefore, we can
not show the consumers of the best high
priced butter in London any of our summer
products of butter when it is at its best, SO,
therefore, the story has become prevelert t
that tho English people will not pay a high
price enough for our best butter. My ad-
vice to the separator creamery men is, first,
to get adequate TRANSPORTATION facilities,
and then try the London market for a few
seasons with our best summer creamery
butter delivered in nearly fresh made con
ditlon only ten days old, with all the fine
ness OF flavor Of the best New York and
New England make, ana they will be salts
fed with the result. | can remember when
the best Western butter could not be sold
in our market for one half the price of
Eastern because there was no cold freight
service.
