Results of Competitive Scoring Are
Announced at the Dairymen's
=. .--... y
State Convention.

M. Sondergard OF HUTCHINSON zap
lures the Gold Medal This Year |
Officers Reelected.
On either side Of the speakers chair in
the hall of the house Of representatives, In
which the Minnesota dairymen are hold
ing their annual meetings, hang two large
banners, announcing In suitably ornate
fashion that the state of Minnesota won In
1899 and 1901 the first premium of the Ma
tional Butermakers' Association, and in
time another banner will be added for
1902. The echoes of the recent meeting OF
the national association and It's butter
scoring are heard frequently In the gossip
OF this convention. ~
The scoring Of butter arranged in connec-
ton with the annual convention is always
one Of the most important features and Is
surrounded by much speculation before
the results are announced and much COM
ment after the announcement. The gold
medal was won this year by M. Sender
gard Of Hutchinson, whose average score
was 955s. first score 95, second ~. The
second prize of SIS went to Charles Leve-s
nick of Lakefeld with an average score
Of IS, the first and second being the same.
The third prize Of $40 went to John Sollie
Of New Sweden, won on an average score
of 94%, the first and second being respect
lively 81 and 951z.
The interest was much greater than
usual this year. on account of the new
method employed. Each tub was scored
twice at intervals of eight days, and, ac-
| cording to the judges, B. D. White and ].
S. Moody, the results were highly interest
ing All obstructive. It Is the first time
that the second examination after a con-
siderable interval Of time, to ascertain the
keeping qualities, has ever been used at a
dairy association test, and those familiar
with the results are convinced that its
superiority will make it the only test
| worth while in the future. :#%
There were 1872 entries of butter, and In
nearly all of the best exhibits the flavor
improved with keeping. This was true
I of thirty six exhibits out Of 1877 tested
twice. These exhibits were Of mildly rip
| ened cream, and the winning butter was
from pasteurized cream a fact regarded
| as specially significant 1t will be seen
| that all of the prize winning butter either
gained in flavor or at least held its own in
keeping. It is interesting to notice that
John Sollie, whose grand winning
score of 9S.12 at the National Buttermak-
| ers' Association meeting in Milwaukee is
| the pride OF the state, was defeated at
! home by two of his competitors; his but
! ter, however, made the greatest improve
| ment in keeping.
| Those Who Scored High.
