Can Not hut Inure to the Benefit
of the Man who Owns Mich Cows
-Prospects Are for Even Bet

Usual.
Not only have the recent rains been
a Godsend to the wheat growers of the
state. but the dairy farmer has profited
to a large extent by the continuous
downpour which has caused the grass
es and clover of the state to grow
famously. Already the effects of the
magnificent Minnesota pasture have
been seen in the butter placed on the
Northwestern market by the 600 or
more creameries of the state.
The Minnesota product has long since
become established in the Eastern mar
ket. The people of the East know it
is unequaled by that of any section of
the country and always brings the top
of the market. One reason which has
been advanced why no more Minnesota
butter is sold abroad is that foreigners
and especially the English, will not
purchase butter which is either sailed
or is of a rich yellow, for which the
Minnesota butter is noted.
The Eastern buyers have commenc-

ten days there will be a lively market
In this city for the cream of Minnesota S
dairy product. There has, some time
since, ceased to be an excuse for the
manufacture of poor butter in Mime
sofa. The Northwestern people will not
use it, and the Eastern trade calls for
the very best.
The annual report of the Minnesota
State Dairymen's association will soon
be in the hands of the dairy and cream
cry men of the state. Prof. Hacker
former secretary Of the society, having
at last turned the books and records
over to Mr.. Crickmore, the present sec
rotary. The report was given to the
printer last week. For some time Mr.
Hacker has refused to give up the
records of the society. The report will
contain much interesting data about
the dairy product of the state during
1897.
The creamery organizers were busy
last week. Thursday they visited Bar
mum and held an enthusiastic meeting.
The farmers in that vicinity are all
up-to-date dairymen, and have some
very fine herds An all-day session
was held, and addresses made by the
corps before large crowd of farmers.
Z. L. Smith, of the state department

Mathiason, president of the state as
sociation, spoke on Dairy Breeding
and Feeding" Secretary Robert Crick

Creamery" At the afternoon session
Mr.. Crickmore discussed Creamery

spoke on The Duties of Creamery Pa

a general discussion resulted, in which
the farmers took part freely.
Friday the corps held a similar meet

The great amount of butter placed
upon the market during the last ter
DAYS has, combined with other sprine.
influences, brought the market down
ABOUT lHs cents during that time. There
mas, however, been a brisk demand
anu TIE market has been kept well
cleaned up. If the present demand
Keeps up there is not much prospect
OF the market going very much lower
me arrival Of the Eastern BUYERS in
this market will PERHAPS stimulate the
market somewhat. There is q deal If
putter in the state, but there is a.
large foreign and domestic demand
which will doubtless result in running
the sales for the year far in excess
of last year.
The Minnesota dairy exhibit ot tho

prize winner. j. A. Harris of Owa-

The local Quitting houses report
business quite brisk for this time of

occasional new creamery is being or-

oouth Dakota is making rapid stride.
IN the creamery business. The animal
gathering of the National Buttermak-
ers association, which is to be held at
Sioux Falls next year. will do much
TO promote and stimulate the industry
IN that state. 1t was only three or
TOUR years ago that the first creamarv
was organized in that state by a Min
nesota man. Since then each season
mas seen good number of additionaI
creamer1es built. When the profit of
the cooperative creamery to resident
farmers becomes well established In
south Dakota, then the state will take
an important place as a Northwestern
dairy state 'ei Il
Ihere are only two county crea merry
associations in Minnesota at present
Freeborn and Meeker counties are The
only Two who have county organiza-
lions. In the earlier days of the cream
cry business in the state these organi-
cations were undertaken in manv com.
ties, but have since, with the two ev-
ceptions, dissolved. Since the indnstr nv
has taken such an important Mace in
the commercial life of the state n is
quite probable that these organizat ions
will be revived in the future.
