the delegates in the butter hall dis
cussing with the judges the butter on
exhibition. The regular programme
was - taken up until this afternoon
The afternoon session today was
called to order at o'clock. A quartette
from Owatonna, Mimi, opened the ses-
sion by song. The applause was so
great and prolonged that the singers
were compelled to entertain the gather
ing a short time longer. F. w. Bouska
of Ames. To-, then read a paper on
How Shall We Secure Desired Flavor
in Our Product" At the conclusion
of his address, Prof. Harrington, of
Wisconsin, addressed the convention
briefly. A motion to elect officers at
l:3O tomorrow afternoon instead of 7.30
in the evening, prevailed.
The discussion of the paper, us Pas
teurizing Milk or Cream, for Butter
making a Success was opened by F.
B. Fulmer, of Ettrick. Wis. The paper
on this subject by w. F. Jensen, Of
Beloit, Kan, was read at the conclu-
sion Of the prior speakers remarks,
and drew out a general discussion on
the part of the delegates. 1t was then
announced from the stage that the sale
of the butter which was on exhibition
would take place at $50 o'clock in the
morning. The afternoon session closed
with a discussion Of the subject, 'How
Shall We Ripen Our Cream?" led by
Daniel Bluer, Omro. Wis, and partic-
ipated in by M. w. Ashby, Hazelton,
10.
Notwithstanding the seemingly pro-
sale character of the subjects treated
by the convention, the greatest interest
was manifested, and the attendance to-
day was fully as great, If not greater,
than on the opening day. The Kansas
delegation is accompanied by the cele-
brated Cowboy band. organized by Gill
lette, of Abilene. Kan. the cattleman
now sojourning in Mexico, and attracts
much attention.
