The annual state convention Of the
Minnesota State Dairymen's association
viii be held at Austin on the second
Tuesday in December, and 1t is eS-
pected that the attendance will sur
pass any convention that has ever
been held in the state.
Austin was decided on as the place
for holding the convention only after
the Warmest kind of a meeting of the
associa ton, which was held at the
state fair grounds last week. A num-
Der Of counties had delegations pres
ent with instructions to get the con-
vention if 1t was a possible thing, and
all ObeYed instructions TO the letter. 1t
was found necessary to hold an ad-
1ourned meeting before the selection
was finally made, Among the mem
berS of the association present at the
meeting were President Mathison, Rob-
ert CrickmOre, ]. J. Furlong, G. Good
fellow, E. EversOn and c. HalVorson.

cipal attractions at the state fair last
week and from Monday morning until
Saturday night there was hardly an
hour in the day that the hall was not
crowded with sightseers and people in
teTested in butter and cheese and the
appliances used in their manufacture.
There were a great number of eXhib-
itOrs, and butter and cheese of every
grade and in all the various states of
manufacture were shown.
The two largest exhibitors were the
Milton Dairy company, Of st. Paul, and
the Minneapolis Milk company, of Min
neapOlis. The first carried off the first
prizes for the best display of granular
butter and ornamental butter, and in
each instance the Minneapolis COM
pany was second. The ornamental dis
play Of the Milton Dairy company was
a beautiful piece of work and drew
words Of praise from thousands of
visitors 1t represented a huge block
of butter with pillars on each corner
supporting smaller block, on each
side Of which were fashioned Lkenesses
Of the heroes OF the war with Spain,
while in the background appeared pic
lures Of the land and sea forces.
Mrs. j. H. McRostie, Of Owatonna,
captured two first prizes-the first for
dairy butter made on g. farm from a.
single herd Of COWS Of any breed or
grade, in jars Of twenty pounds or I'M
der, and the second for print butter
made under the same conditions.
The cheese exhibit of w. L. Chappell

play and was the cause Of much conf
ment The display included Minnesota
