The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-02-17

thing In the honors that can be voted
away, he is the most popular candidate
just the same
AS before intimated, this town Is
painted in chrome colors. The women
wear yellow bows and the men bilious
looking neckties. The buildings are
trimmed with yellow streamers and the
bllls OF fare at the hotels have taken
on yellow tint. But there's nothing
yellow about the programmes or the
reception committees. Already the
hotel capacity has been exceeded, but
the greedy householders cry out for
more visitors. The entertainment COM
mittee has not as yet had to worry
about the disposal of guests. Sixty-five
hundred people caring for 1000 strang-
ers Is pretty good record.
Today the regular session of the con-
Ventfon opened at 80 in the court
house. This is a large and handsome
room, seating about 300 persons. Chairs
and other convenienceS have been
crowded into the room so that probably
800 persons were present at the opening
OF the session this afternoon. The
programme promised well, and there
was some disappointment when the
president announced that some Of the
principal speakers Of the afternoon,
would not be present. But subsequent
discussion showed that the absentees
were probably the losers.
President Segar, who Is as mild-m man.
nered man as ever MIXED q cow,
though rather ferocious in appearance,
announced that the paper assigned to
c. E. Belts. of Renfrew, Ont, would
be read by G. p. Sherwood of De Smet,
S. D. But previous to the regular pro-
gramme the report of the secretary and
treasurer was received.
INCREASED MEMBERSHIP.
The books of the Cedar Rapids con-
vention, where the last convention was
| held, showed a membership Of 1884, To-
! day the membership is sand additions
at this session will increase that num-
Der to 1000. Lack Of funds has hinder
| ed the association from doing any
active work in the employment bureau,
and applications were received from
&c practical buttermakers, and letters
from Is creameries were received offer
ing employment. Not more than forty
of these creameries accepted the ap-
plications sent them, as cheap men
were wanted at prices which the Sec
rotary refused to recommend, believing
that no first-class buttermaker should
be obliged to accept laborer's wages.
A recommendation is made to devise
ways and means to improve the en-
ployment bureau.
The treasurer's report showed total
receipts to date, $3,412.5o; disburse-
nents, $745.63; balance, $2,666.67.
President Segar then announced the
appointment of the following commit
tee on resolutions: H. B. Gurler De-
Kalb, ILL.,: J. L. Stewart, GAINESVILLE,
Wis, and B. Jones, Volga City, Iowa.
c. P. Sherwood then read paper on
the Creamery Patron; Cooperation
Needed" He said: when the term
cooperation is fully appreciated and
carried out, then will the creamery in
dustry be a success. First there must
| be cooperation among the patrons. In
| its true sense cooperation means that
each individual is working for the
good of the enterprise and for each
other. From the first day of the es-
7 tabliShment of g. creamery the patrons
run race to see who can steel the
most skim milk. They are never sat-
isfied with the test. To secure the
best results the patrons must cooperate
with the officers and the employees.
The butter maker is not infallible-he
will at times make mistake in weights
and the test may be off a tenth Of
point once in while. 1t must be re-
membered that during a month from
5000 to 5000 weights must be made,
and out of that number mistakes are
sure to occur. The patron should re-
member that he is but one of the sew
eral hundreds who deal with the but
ter maker each day and a cerbities
of temper should be expected and al
| lowed for. The directors Of the
creamery are but patrons like the rest,
and they do much work fer which
they are not paid. Public sentI-
| ment, Also should be favorable to sue
ceSsfu1 cooperation.
PASTEURIZING SKIM MILK.
W. r. Jensen, Of Beloit, Kan, read a
paper on the "Pasteurizing Of Skim
Milk" He said: eve hear that the time
/
production of butter, and prices below
the cost Of production. The tendency
is for a smaller cow, a COW that
charges the least possible sum for her
return in milk; but we must not forget
that her offspring is less valuable for
fattening. In countries where feed
and pasture are of no object, the man
who turns off yearly a, bunch of good
sized three-year-old steers or heifers
will find that his milk not only buys
his tea and coffee, but also that his
savings take on larger dimensions.
Skim milk from the creamery is a
valuable and most valuable food for
the young calf. In Kansas, where I
live, our patrons take pride in turning
off some nice three-year-old steers ev-
cry winter. In my experience we have
turned attention to getting our skim
milk with little sweet and urge our
patrons to use less expensive fat sub
stance than butter for raising calves
We attribute the cause of our success
to the boiling Of all CUR skim milk
We have boiled milk for two years
winter and summer. When properly
boiled the skim milk will be sweet from
tWentyfOur hours in summer to forty
eight hours in winter. There are hot
sultry days in summer when milk is
not fit to boil, but they are few, and
as the patrons like. to get the milk
back sweet, they take pains to send it
boiling skim milk is cents for 1000
pounds, or 81 for $500 on an average
for the year"
1.-The Care of Cans and Milk"
paper read by J. X. Bennett, Of Gin
ton Falls, Mimi, provoked a discus
sion that lasted for more than an hour
The main point of difference between
the speakers was the aeration of the
milk after placed in the cans Of
course no agreement was arrived at
but the discussion was so general that
much good was derived by the interest
ed listeners.
Clark Chambers and some of the
others interested in the convention and
the city have been making strenuous
efforts to secure a visit from the leg
islature. Col. Chambers spent all his
loose change this morning telephoning
to Senator Potter. Ignatius Donnelly
is relied upon to stir up sentiment for
a. junket in the house. If the New
York delegation here ever encounters
the legislative leaders, there will not
be room in the county to hold the
noise. Kansas, too, Is hoping the law
makers will come down. The two
bodies will be able to fraterniZa on
