DAIRY FAR1INd.
A Few Points rlade by Commissions
rIcConneil.

TlcC0nnell. i"
' Last Saturday. w. W. P. McCon.
nell, State Dairy and Food Commis-
sioner, was In town. In the course
of private conversation, he expressed
great deal of enthusiasm for the
cause of dairying in this state. He
pointed out the fact that the farmer s
of the western part Of the
state depend almost entirely
on wheat, aud if there is a fail
ure in this crop, the farmers are left
without any return for their years
\ work. Then the land is being repeat
edly exhaust I'd by taking off success.
sive crops of wheat and returning no.
thing. A farmer with stock can plant
corn and thus benefit his land, and
also manure his land and raise better
crops of wheat. A well-supported
creamery means a pay day every
month instead of once year as the
case now is. This means cash bust
ness for the merchants and lower
prices for all.
The difficulty is always in getting
a creamery started, for it takes the
milk of 300 cows to put creamery
on a paying basis. Many creameries
in this of the state are struggling
along with the milk of only 100 COWS
aud the state dairy commission is
therefore considering the feasibility
of holding meetings of farmers in
order to awaken interest in this i'm.
portant industry, the meetings to be
addressed by one of the dairy com
missioners.
In this connection ii is we'll to say
that Mr.. Mcconnell is not merely
theorist, but himself own and ope-
rates one of the best dairy farms in
the state at Minneopa, near Msnkato.
