1t is no little honor that Nicolet
county can claim as one of her citizens
the champion buttermaker of Amer
lea. They have several creameries in
that county that have a wide reputa-
ton for the excellence Of the butter
that they turn out, and nearly all of
them have won distinction where their
product has met with that of other
creameries in competition. But there
is one creamery that heads the list,
not alone in NicCllet county, but in the
country at large. This institution is
known as the New Sweden creamery.

quire Who is this HaugdahI?" Then,
as other butter eXpositions were held

gait. it was seen that his victory was

less than eight notable victories. as

medal

to Mr.. Haugdahl runs up into the hun
