The first buttermaker's and dairy
mems convention held in the state,
concluded at New Salem Saturday
night. was a complete success in every
particular, and will result in giving
great impetus to the dairy interests of
the western part of the state. The in
stitute was in charge of Prof T. A.
Hoverstad OF Crookston. with Hon. B.
D. White of ST. Paul as butter scorer
and expert, and Prof. e. E. Kaufman
of the state agricultural college and
assistant state dairy commissioner in
general charge of the scheme of meet
ing. Addresses were made by these
three gentlemen, by W. F. Cushing,
who was assistant manager of the Pan
American exhibit of the state at Buff
falo, and by a number of local dairy
men. There were about $50 persons
present at the meeting, among them a
number who came from other parts of
the state to get pointers with reference
to the establishment of creameries
elsewhere.
The experience of the dairies that
have been started west of the river
have all been gratifying. The New
Salem creamery has been prosperous
and the report of one of it's patrons.
John Christianson, showed that in the
sale of his milk to the creameries. his
COWS netted him at conservative es-
innate. about $33 annually, or nearly
100 per cent on their value Other
patrons of the dairies reported SINH
lar successful dealings in cows. Sta
tistics were presented of the gross price
received from milk, the cost of keep
ing and feeding, and the value of
skinned milk received back and fed
to calves and pigs. The figures were
pleasing, both to the men who are at
work furthering the dairying interests
of the state
Butter from eight creameries was
scored by B. D. White of st. Paul. Mr..
White took notes of the butter as it
was scored. and wrote them down and
after the butter had been scored and
the makers told how it had been made,
the notes OF Mr. White were read and
it was found that he had in each case
stated the method of making and kind
of milk with surprising accuracy. TIL.
highest scorse were made by Victor
Glantz of Hanover and R. F. Flint of
New Salem. who led the state exhibit
of butter at the Pan-American exposi-
tion The results of the scoring were

PROT White stated after the scoring
the butter scored compared with the
scoring made in Iowa where there are
old established dairy interests and the
butter is scored by state and govern
ment authorities. For flavor. firm
ness and color the butter compared
favorably with the best made in the
east. ,E..
