many valuable culinary hints.
DR.. c. w. Drew, state chemist, spoke on
the quality of the cheese made in Minnesota
now and that made two years ago. He dwelt
on the Investigations that have been maze
regarding cheese adulteration. and noted Q,

Mrs. NJ II. Lambs subject was the 'Pri-
vate Dairy" and was handled ably. She
said there was great deal to be learned OH
the subject and branded the general pur-
pose cow as delusion and q snare. Care
must be exercised in the selection of a COW.
EX-GoV. Hoard she quoted as saying that
you must treat COW as you would lady.
Milking should be done as quickly quietly
and neatly as possible. After detailing the
proper treatment of milk. Mrs. Lamb went
on to give various methods of butter max
ing.
Good butter" she said, "can be made by
either process, but this one invariably rules:
Keep your butter ct the right temperature
for handling. and use the method that with
your conveniences you can feel best satisfied
With. In closing she appealed to the DO,
OF the agricultural school to improve their
advantages and put their elders TO shame.
j. II. MonTad prefaceG his paper OH THE
Milk Pump by impressing on the boys the
danger of thinking they know it ALL The
milk pump he denounced in unqualified
terms.
Every creamery he said. should be
built on the side hill plan, or if the land is
flat. an elevated driveway may be built so as
to deliver the milk high enough to let it flow
in open conductors all the way. With small

the weigh-can be low enough so that the cans
maybe dumped from a platform on a level

Mr.. Monrad closed by saying that the
secret of the Danish system perfect ceanli-
ness and strict attention to every little detail.
II. ii. Holmes spoke on feed. He advocated
clover hnV nd cai6 hat
was worthless as a cream producing food.
Give the COW the food she does best on,
said MI Holmes. His remarks on the neces-
sity of slaughtering cows that, as he said,
'eat their heads Off twice year." and his
advocacy of certain feeds formed the subject
matter of spirited discussion, i'll which ii. P.
McKinstry and ID. w. Richards participated
and which ended the afternoon session.
Farmers Institutes
The first paper of the evening session was
by .. &. Gregg, superintendent of the farm
ers' institutes. Mr.. Gregg was heartily APP
plauded on his appearance, and said:
The year now about to close has nearly
demolished the phrase cash crops" To the
surprise of many the surplus food crops of
the world have almost disappeared. The
world of mankind is no longer representa-
by well fed, rotund youth, with still plenty
in store; but rather like that celebrated
character of Dickens, Oliver Twist, who with
empty bowl in his extended hand, pied:
please sir, want some more" The cornu-
copta pOurS OF It's abundance into our land,
while Russia and many portions of Europe
are darkened by the cloud of want. The
markets of the world are at our doors and
the products of the farm as a whole have a
cash value. This factor so briefly o utlinedi is
a third factor in depressing the ca tile inter-
ests of the Northwest. The plains cattle and
fraud butter well known to us IL are the
second and thru factors that have been as
sailing this interest for number of years
last passed. They have assaulted the right and
left flank of the line. and have well nigh
doubled it up, and now comes the factor OF
cash value of all foods that assail the center

factors as evil alone. The immediate results
are depressing, and cause some suffering con-
seQuent upon all losses.
The future will be the gamer. We are to-
day in Minnesota laying solid foundation for
future success. We are beginning where we

said that we must use three methods de
seribed by three wOrds-sort, save and

scribed as scant in the crops ample in body,
deep in the flank and with good udder devel-
opment. The second type should be as full

feet types could be perfected by type in
sires used. Each dam of sorts mentioned
dairy and beef-differing in many essential
particulars. " The law of selection i'll sires
was then developed. Supt. Gregg COM
mended Prof. Hackers address on the in
tensifying of type by inbreeding when jul
diciously done. and also laid great stress on
actual test of milk as one eff the means of
knowing cows.
School of Agriculture
Prof. Pendergast took as his subject the
connection of the school of agriculture with
dairying.
1.-The object of the school. said he. lis
four-fold. Its first and most important OBJ
Ject is to determine the particular line of
work which young farmers shall pursue. Sec
ond, to give them the best methods Of carry
ing that work into effect. Third to
develop the student and strengthen
his judgment. Fourth, aid to the student by
giving him training which will be of practi-
cal benefit in the selection of a farm A
great deal of stress should be laid on encour-
aging the dairy industry aud on drill in meth
DDS. One reason why farmers do not take up
dairying is that the rewards are not imme-
diate. Ill comes from trading off the future
for a slight present advantage. Dairymeu
will be better paid in the future for several
reasons. First, they viii learn to make bet
ter butter. Second arabic lands are nearly
used up. From 1870 to 1889 the increase in
amount Of acreage brought under cultivation
yearly was 7l2 per cent The increase in
population was 2l2 per cent The market
was i'll consequence overstocked and prices
were low For the past few years the in
crease in acreage was lip per cent, and the
increase in population 2l2 per cent Prices
must go mp"
Mr. Pendergast in closing noted a new and
strong demand for butter in the South owing
to the renewing prosperity of that section of
the United States.
The evening session closed with a general
discussion.
The association conYenes again this morn
ing at 10. There will be reports of commit
tees and election of officers to day. and pre-
miums will be awarded. Among the papers
to be read is one on storing of Fodder by
Andrew Bass. student at the agricultural
college, and several questions will come up
for discussion.
