attention of the agricultural students
during the convention, the committee
believed that the farm school now in
operation is solving and will solve the
question of how to impart sound,
practical farm education to the young
people of our day. The committee ex-
pressed Its approval of the management
OF the school. and resolved to commend
it for its good methods. and to pledge
1T the future support of the association.
One OF the most important clauses of
the report was: Resolved. that we
recognize the vast Importance of such
dairy school and breed test as is con-
templated at the worlds Columbian ex-
position, and will, to the extent of our
ability, aid the same by the proffer of
our best COWS to be used in such a
school or breed test. and in other practi-
cal ways. Resolved, that we urge, and
II need De, demand au appropriation
for the dairy exhibit at that exposition
more IN proportion to its Importance as
an industrial interest" In regard to
artificial butter the committee
Resolved, That while we offer no encour-
agement to any action that would forbid
1000 OF any nature to the hungry, neverthe-
less we DO still enter our indignant protest
against the sale of eolored lard and tallow
under The guise of butter, and at butter
prices: that we commend the action of our
Legislature in forbidding the sale OF such
product within our own state upon the
ground that 1t would not be sold for what it
is nor for what it is worth. and that the man
ufacture and sale of oleOmargarIne as at
present conducted is a powerful means
by which concentrated capital makes
great gains in fraudulently furnishing what
should be very cheap product under the
guise OF butter. which is the dairymans
brand both by the custom of years and the
eyer-present law found in the nature of the
case The secretion of the fatty tissue of the
steer and the hog, even though colored by
greed for the purpose of fraud, can never
honestly supplant the secretion of butter fat
furnished by the udder of the COW. That.
finally, we recommend what we believe TO be
the vigorous action of our state dairy COM
mission in enforcing all laws against this
fraud on dairy products.
Several of the motions which were
laid on The table aroused spirited dis
cussiOns. One Of them pertained to a
petition TO the board of managers to
have the dairy department work at the
worlds fair go on every day in the
week. This started a debate on the
question OF keeping the worlds fair
open on Sunday. President Perkins
said the gates of heaven might Just as
well be shut on Sunday as the gates of
the Columbian exposition. Different
members OF the association argued the
question pro and con, but it was finally
decided that the resolution should be
lald on the table and no expression of
opinion on the Sunday closing question
given.
Miss A. w. Cunning spoke on the un-
advisability of country girls rushing in
to town 10 make fortunes by the mis-
presentations OF some shorthand
schools. Ex-Gov. McGIll made brief adj
dress to the association on the impor-
taDee of learning to make good butter,
and the money there is in it. Il have
no respect" said he, 'for man who
likes bad egg or bad butter" Gov.
McGIll spoke in closing of the work of
the experimental farm and its impor-
tance TO the state.
