Corps of Organizers VIII Go Out on

Farmers Have Finished With
Their Seeding-Dairy Exhibit mt
the Omaha Exposition Being Ar

in some sections seeding has been COM
pleted. 1t is to enable the farmers
in the northern part Of the state to
nnlsh putting in their crop that the
organizers are waiting.
During the week Mr.. Crickmore re-
ceived numerous letters from different
sections of the state, from which 1t is
evident that the corps will be kept
busy when they again take the road
The early spring is the time when
the farmers must agitate the organiZa-
ton of cooperative creameries. Ordi-
narily, the season would close with the
last of April. but this year creamery
Quitting men are ooking forward
to brisk business during May. The
unqualified success which attended the
efforts of the corps and the renewed
interest all through have prompted the
impression that some brand new
creameries may be built yet this year.
A meeting of the State Dairymen's
association will be called during the
next ten days to formulate definite
plans for the exhibition to be made
by this state at the Omaha exposition
Secretary Crickmore, the committee on
dairy exhibit appointed by the Mime
sofa commissioners, and Secretary
Danforth have all been working hard
the Minnesota exhibit, and it is expect
ed that some propositions will be made
at this meeting, by those who have
been looking the matter up.
Creameries are being talked of at
the following places, and contracts
will, in all probability be let during
this week: Classner, Mimi; ST. Croix
Falls, Wis; Volga, Wis; East Union,
Mimi additional facilities
Cornish, Curtiss & Greene closed a
contract last week for an up-to-date
$4,000 creamery at Haugen, Mimi
Great interest has been taken in the
prospect for a creamery, and the eff
forts of a few of the farmers have at
last been realized.
F. B. Fargo & Co. closed contracts
with the following last week:
Horse Shoe Lake, Wis; Athens,
Wis; Byrnes, Mimi; Silver Lake,
Mimi; Gam Valley, S. D., and Forest
berg, S. D.
The Creamery Packing Company of
Mankato also secured the contract for
their share Of the Northwestern bust
ness. New creameries will be built by
them at Sargent and Meyers, MINI.
The average one-separator creamery,
with a capacity Of 5000 or 5000 pounds
Of milk daily will cost 81 900 for ma
chinery, and the building can be put
up for $1,000. Three thousand dollars
all told will build a creamery fit for
the finest.
Prof. 7. L. Hacker, of the state ag-
ricultural farm former secretary of the
State Dairymen's association, still has
the books of the association, and what
is more he is likely to keep them until
the Gairymen bring suit in the matter
The attorney general has advanced an
opinion that Mr.. Hacker has no legal
claim to the books, as a majority vote
OF the association is conclusive Mr.
Hackers successor was duly elected
and he has no further claim upon the
records of the society
The report of the association is also
hung up, as the manuscript is among
the papers in Mr.. Hackers possession
LEGAL creamery outfitters report that
the demand for creamery supplies has
been especially good during March and
the early part of April. Many of the
Old creamery men are brushing up
their establishments and SUBMITTING
them to a thorough renovation and
house cleaning
The traditional farmer who holds his
milk pals under the pump for a brief
period has long ceased to be a reality.
w Altering was at one time said to be
quite prevalent but the present strict
laws regulating the sale of milk and
attaching penalty for such adultera-
ton have had the desired effect in the
almost total eradication of the prac-
tee.
Not alone has the law regulating the
sale OF milk been effectual. but similar
regulations put upon the sale of butter
and cheese have elevated the dairy
business to higher plane, and re-
CURED a higher standard Of all dairy
products.
"Oleo" and filled cheese are fast dis
appearing from the state, comparative
ly few cases having been reported IN
the dairy and food commission.
During the last week or two the but
ter market has been pretty thoroughly
cleaned up, comparatively little butter
being left on the market. The trading
has been steady, with little variation
here and there of a bulge or a slump
of fraction of a cent.
Good butter will always bring a good.
and often times fancy price. Nothin o
is so distasteful as butter that is a
little off either in flavor or tone.
The people Of the Northwest must
have good butter, and for it they are
willing to pay a good price The ZOO
creameries in the state are trying hard
to satisfy this demand
The buttermaker always reserves the
right to reject all milk brought to tha
creamery which will in any way iniure
the flavor of the butter.
High prices on butter at this season
of the year are likely to stimulate pro-
duction later in the season The mar
ket is seldom, If ever, as we'll cleaned
up at this season of the year as at
present.
1t is novelty to see an advance in
butter right on the eve of the opening
of the season. 1t is at the same time
a very highly satisfactory condition of
affairs.
