a wrong principle and dangerous
practice. Our industry in this state
can never reach it's possible develop
ment under such conditions. The old
argument that our industry must look
to the. public creamery for it's great.
est development has lost much of its
strength. We know that some are
disposed to lay the blame for the stu
alton to the dairymen who furnish
the cream. In view, however, of other
facts, to which I shall hereinafter al
lude, we are inclined not to place all
of the blame with the dairymen.
We are fully aware that Indifference
and carelessness on the part of some
dairymen is responsible for much, and
who by some means should be re-
quired to adopt more tidy and intel
ligent methods in their part of the
work, yet the handling and caring for
the cream after the same has passed
beyond the control of the dairyman
challenges our investigation. Undue
rivalry and personal advantage among
those engaged in manufacturing and
handling dairy products figures largely
in these matters, and so long as such
of quality cannot be reached without
direct and determined effort on our
part.
AS me dium through and by which
existing evils might likely be over
come I would suggest creamery
mems organization and if need be
have the same under law to be yet
enacted There should also be a sys-
tenn of scoring and passing upon the
quality of our dairy products devised
by such an organization, with the view
of general Improvement of the same.
I believe great benefits to our industry
would be the result. But there are
other matters that seriously affect our
interests and I desire to refer to some
of them.
Did you, dairymen who are supply
ing cream to the creameries, hear
that butter dropped two cents per
pound last week? Your check for this

rnillman. to instruct our people in the
Governmental principles of dairying un-
dar the new methods. Many of us
we'll remember the professors earnest
talks on the subjects OF breeding, iced
ing and caring for the dairy COW; the
crops to grow and the best methods
of cultivation; the care OF milk from
tho cow to the separation of the same;
cream refining; bacteria, good and
had. and their development; butter
making. cheese making and curing,
and so on. Thus our progressive dairy.
men came to realize the Importance
of more perfect understanding OF
the controlling principles underlying
their work, which was followed by
a gradual improvement in the quality
of our dairy products. Soon, how
ever. a few of our commission houses
established creameries in the cities and
distributed the hand separator among
the dairymen throughout the state,
who shipped and continue to ship
their cream to the city creameries,
thus transferring an enterprise that
legitimately belongs to the country
TO the cities. The motives underlying
this change we well not here attempt
to pass judgment upon.
But we feel that we can truthfully
assert that questions affecting the i'm
proved quality of our dairy products
did not figure in their calculations at
ALL If they did, then certainly these
gentlemen have made miserable fail
ure of their enterprise.
The original plan of delivering to
the creamery milk fresh from the cow.
twice daily has been changed to that
of delivering the cream two and three
times weekly, with a corresponding
change for the worse in the quality
of our butter. Questions that relate to
the cheapness of manufacture are evil

that more directly concern the quality
of the product. This we hold to be

months cream will show it. An ad-
vance of two cents per pound I am
sure would have been far more &C.
ceptable, as we'll as far more natural,
considering the season of the year
and the demand. Have you forgotten
that the same thing occurred one year
ago at about this time? Do you know
of any reason for such an occurrence
two years in succession? Do you
not believe that the incident is entire
ly unnatural and unwarranted? II
unnatural, then it must be artificial
and brought about by the work of
some man or set of men.
We are informed that one of the
heaviest dealers in butter in Seattle
practices buying up large quantities
of eastern butter during the summer
months, when butter is lowest in
price, ships the same into our state
where it is put in cold storage, and
is used in breaking down the market
at this time of the year, when every
pound of butter fat costs the dairy
man who produces it from two cents
to five cents more than at any other
time of the year. We are also told
CloJ VI Chl0 UuCICl 10 DClnS OO1u
as fresh eastern butter, while much
of it is sold and labeled as fresh
creamery butter. Yet this same con-
Germ has the audacity to solicit cream
from among the dairymen of the state.
Here we have a case that requires
investigation and a remedy. Our in
terests demand it. The interests of
the consumers of butter demand it.
The dairymen of the state are being
victimized by reason of the greedy
and deceitful practices of a dealer
in their products, and the public is
being deceived into paying for and
consuming that which is not what it
is represented to be-
We as dairymen, demand from all
those dealing in our products, their
influence and honest ell orts in main
tanning living and legitimate prices
for our products, that shall not be
influenced to our great damage by

imported goods. We do not object to
any legitimate competition. We con-
denim, however, the practice above al
luded to, and greatly regret to know
that a concern that has grown fat
under our steady patronage should be
the one to introduce the practice.
The question of extending the work
of our organization requires our at
tention. 1t would be well for us to
acquaint ourselves more certainly re-
garding such sections of the state as
nave not as yet been favored with
the influence by direct contact of this
organization. 1t is generally conced-
ed that the circuit over which we have
been moving and doing our work in
holding our conventions has received
wonderful impetus along dairy lines,
as a result of our direct influence.
No doubt, but that our influence and
power as an organization might be
strengthened by extending our work
into new territory, where the condi-
tons would warrant such a move.
Our greatest strength lies in hold
ing the confidence of the public, and
our work should be SO directed, and
so broad, that all who may be inter
ested in dairying and in the growth
and development of our dairy industry,
will be directly benefited.
On the other hand, we may, at
times, need weapon in the protec-
ton of our interests. If so, one of
the most effective weapons within our
reach at present will be publicity.
First then, we should hold the conf
dence of our people by a course of
rectitude and right doing on our part;
sympathetic interest will thus be
created Then woe to the concern
that proves to be our enemy, and a
deceiver of the public-carry the news
of such treachery through the press
of the state, to every consumer of
dairy products.

Truthful Reporter Says Fowl Weighs

bers in Winter.

Harry Pinkham, of Nevada, Story
county, Iowa, owns a Toulouse goose
which is indeed monstrosity and has
attracted great deal of attention at
the various places at which it has been
exhibited by Mr.. Pinkham. The fowl,
which is little over two years of age,
weighs IA pounds, and has been ex-
hibited at the fat stock show at Chica-
go, at Des Moines at the Iowa state
fair, and will be taken to st. Louis to
be exhibited this summer at the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition. The enor-
nous weight of the goose has been too
heavy for its web feet, and in order to
protect the goose from the frozen
ground this winter Mr.. Pinkham made
for the fowl pair of rubber shoes
which fit on the two web feet. The
goose has been in the habit of laying
an egg about every day, and these eggs
are of enormous size, being as large as
an ordinary water bottle, and the land
