The tenth annual meeting OF the
Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association
will be held in the city of Milwaukee,
on the 9Th 9Th and 10th days of Janu-
airy, 1902. This is to be an educa-
tional meeting on the latest improved
methods Of cheese making, both 1or-
eign and domestic, including all al
lied subjects. Speakers of natlonal
reputation Of Canada and the states

dairy lines, have been booked for this
occasion.
We had the largest convention In
the history of the association at Madl-
son last January, and should start TINS
meeting with big membership hst'
making the tenth annual convention
record breaker in the history OF the
association. No one interested in dairy
work and cheese making. or des1rous
of learning more in this line, can
afford to miss this convention. IL De-
hooves us as cheese-makers to bring

us wherein our cheese is not equal to
that OF our neighbors Gf it is not;
and, as we are students. we will go
home with a determination to proht

gestions received.

gramme last January were past grand
masters in the art of practical cheese
making, the representatives OF Two
governments, the assistant food COM
missioners of two great dairy states.
