going to South America and the re-
suits in regard to information win be
probably almost as satisfactory. Ar
gentina Is q large country consisting
Of mountain and plain, hills, valleys,
mining sections and water ways In
great variety. besides an extensive
coast line. Il is country that we
expect to hear from extensively in
commercial transactions before an
other decade has rolled round.
In the matter Of cattle Argentina
is exceedingly wealthy, as there are
cattle on thousand hills with others
scattered through the valleys She
can supply bovine products to the
rest Of the world.
The United states will look to
these Southern countries in the near
future for supplies Of this nature to
feed our millions Of factory workers
that are increasing with such rapidi-
ty.
While viewing the dairy sections at
the Pan-American exposition the Wis
ltor realizes what strides are being
made in the advancement Of this inn
portant branch Of agriculture. Our
diversified farming mp to the present
time has been carried on in such a
wholesale way as to preclude syste-
matte concentrated effort in any one
direction. We have for this reason
not been able TO produce the pain
stalking results that are characteris-
tic Of farming operations in older
countries.
An important change has however,
taken place in the conduct of dairy
ing in the United States in the last
ten years; scientific work has re-
placed the old rule of thumb meth
ods until every step in The produc-
tion of butter and cheese is now
characterized with the same care
and precision that marks special

There are ten breeds of cattle rep
resented here, FIVE head constituting
a breed or herd. The herds are com
prised of Short Horns, Holstelns,
Aryshires, Jerseys, French Canadians,
Guernseys, Brown Swiss, Red Polls,
Polled Jerseys and Dutch Belted.
The first FIVE are furnished by the
Canadian government and the last
FIVE by the different Breeders asso-
Citations. Each herd is in charge OF
a herdsman selected by the associa-
ton and is paid by the Exposition
company. It Is his duty to care for
and MIX his COWS. The feed is in
charge Of J. Fred schlappi Of Lewis
county. New York. The coarse feed
is weighed out for the herd for the
day. and for the grain each cow has
a paii with her name and number; the
grain IS weighed out and placed in
the pail and delivered in this man
ner to the herdsman Tor each COW
separately.
The cows are MIXED three times

sampled for butter fat and solids; a
careful record of which is Kept as
well as Of all food consumed by the
animals. The cows are giving about
two hundred gallons of milk per day
which is made into butter on the spot.
The product from each herd is placed
separately on exhibition in the large
glass refrigerators in the Dairy build
