milk, butter and cheese bill exceeds its
meat bill.
Dairying is, in fact, the occupation
of the most intelligent farmers OF the
country. In order to be a successful
keeper OF cows it is necessary for the
farmer to have some knowledge of the
business and the acquisition of such
knowledge generally broadens his mind
and paves the way to better knowl-
edge of all things.
The annual product of the 10, 500, :
600 cows OF this country approximates
$500, 900, 900. The United States has
more cows than any other nation on
earth, and nearly as many as any
other two nations combined. In the
northwest. where the agricultural in.
terests are strongest, dairying is fol-
lowed more or less by nearly every
farmer.
Butter making and cheese making
are about the only manufacturing bust
nesses which are carried on by farm
ers to any great extent. IN the west
thousands of creameries are owned
and operated by farmers. In fact,
in communities where creameries are
located, nearly every farmer is inter
ested either directly or indirectly.
Therefore when the dairymen of the
country arise and make a request this
request must be looked upon as not
coming from dairymen alone, but a
class of farmers who are interested in
diversified farming. but who at the
same time are more particularly inter
ested in that branch which ranks first
in production in this country.
The dairy interests, as rule, are
pretty well organized. They have, In
unmistakable tones wherever oppor-
tunity has offered, made known their
vehement preferences for ex-Gov.
Hoard, of Wisconsin. for secretary of
agriculture under Mckinley. Chicago
Produce does not believe that the pres
ident-elect can afford to ignore these
preferences. The dairymen have
stood by Mckinley. Now let McKin-
ley stand by the dairymen.-Chicago

The People Wan Hoard.

The politicians were largely against
Mckinley. The lescers were not go.
ing t. have him at all. But the peo-
pie wanted him. They took things
into their own hands and nominated
him al St. Louis. Then they elected
him.
The people interested want Hoard
for secretary of agriculture. Those
who urge Hoard for a cabinet position
do il from a sense of patriotism. They
believe that with him in the agricult-
ural department, the farmers will have
in that important branch of govern
ment competent executive and tried
friend. They feel that he understands
the necessities of the agricultural in
terests of this country better than any
other available man, and that in case
of a candidate being so thoroughly
qualified he should be honored with
the position.
The friends of the dairy interests
are thoroughly in earnest in this mat
ter. Their branch of agriculture needs
attention. The general prosperity of
the country depends upon it.
II is to be hoped that President
Elect Mckinley will take all these
things into consideration and stand by
the people, as the people have stood
by him.-Chicago Produce. G

The Secretary of Agriculture.

AS politics go the next Secretary of
Agriculture will be Republican.
Because man is Republican is
no reason that he will make good
secretary Of Agriculture-nor is it any
reason he will not.
No mere politician should be given
the place as reward for party work
but where a mar has more than ordi-
nary qualifications for the office, is in
touch with farmers, their needs and
their work, eminently fitted for the
place and with all a good Republican,
we see no reason why he should not
have the place-indeed we see many
why he should have it, so second the
suggestion of Elgin Dairy Report in
presenting the name of Hon. w. d.
Hoard, ex-governor of Wisconsin. for
the secretary of agriculture in Major
McKinley's cabinet. Field and

FavOrs Gov. Hoard.

To the Editor of The Farmers Voice
II am glad to see you take definite
stand, in the last issue, regarding the
future secretary of agriculture. 1t is
necessary for the farmers to concen-
trate their support on one man if they
hope for any success. The great
trouble with us is that we do not unite
our forces and let our wants be known,
consequently the machine politicians
follow up the party victory and monopo-
lie the Offices.
Why not show our intelligence and
craftsmanship now by recognizing the
valuable services and the great work
done by the Hon. w. ID. Hoard for
the interests of agriculture by petition
ing President Elect Mckinley to ap-
point him secretary of agriculture?
Probably there is not another man in
the United States who has done so
much as Mr.. Hoard towards creating
and forcing to successful passage,
bills suppressing the authorizations of
food products. He has given of his
time and private means without stint
in accomplishing these results, and
every branch of farming has been ben
Gifted millions of dollars worth by it.
| doubt if to day there would be a
ound of butter bringing 20 cents, west
OF New York, if it were not for the
ELECTROMAGNETIC and flled-cheese
laws which he has been so instrument
al in bringing into existence. 1t has
added millions of dollars to the value
of our cattle. Not only that; he pos
sesses the ability and political training
necessary to place the agricultural de-
partment where it will be credit to
American agriculture, both at home
and abroad.
Let everyone who reads this write a
personal letter at once to Maj. McKin-
ley asking for this appointment. Let
every fair organization and institute
pass resolutions petitioning for his ap-
pointment and forward to Mr.. McKin-
ley and the result will be the just re-
warding of well-merited success.-A.

President t. T. Lyon, of the State

portance of having a Secretary of Ag-
riculture of sufficient breadth and char
acter to appreciate the importance Of
fruit-growing interests of the country,
and to give that branch the same en-
couragement and assistance as other
branches. A committee was appoint
ed to draft memorial to President
Elect Mckinley on the subject, and
the memorial came out in the form of
hearty endorsement of the candidacy
of ex-Gov. Hoard for the place. Res
olutions were also adopted asking the
horticulturists of Illinois, Wisconsin,
Ohio, and other fruit growing states to
cooperate in the MATERIALS. Press

CHOICE OF CHICAGO BUTTER BOARD FOR
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

Chicago Butter and Egg Board has
put itself on record as favoring Hon.
w. ID. Hoard, of Wisconsin, for sec.
rotary of agriculture.
The ex-governor was mentioned
among the probabilities for cabinet
positions the morning after election
day by the Chicago Tribune. The
fact was mentioned at the butter board
meeting that day and received none
but favorable comment. Last We'd
nesday, Geo w. Linn brought the
matter formally before the board and
asked that some action be taken. He
made short speech in which he re-
ferred to the great service Mr.. Hoard
has done for the dairy industry of the
country especially and for the agricul-
turai interests of the whole country.
He did not believe better selection
could be made for secretary of agri-
culture in Maj. McKinley's cabinet,
and moved that the board not only en-
dorse the candidacy of ex-Gov. Hoard,
but do all in its power to bring about
his appointment.
Mr.. Linn's speech was received with
applause and the motion was passed
by an unanimous vote.-Ass. Press
