CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE
| Crop Report Issued by the North
western Road.

FROM IutSudy > bohy
A crop report has just been issued for
the territory traversed by the North
western road in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas and it is one of the most favor
able reports of the season. 1t shows
that the recent rains were most timely
and that all small grains are in excel
lent condition. A summary of the re-
port follows:
During the week beginning last
Tuesday South Dakota has had a rain
| fall on an average of about three inches
over the entire state. The average rain
| fall in Minnesota was about two inches
This rain was needed at this particu-
lar time and it placed the grain crop in
excellent condition for some time to
come.
The Jim River Valley wheat is in the
same stage, about, in growth as in
eastern Minnesota. Eastern South Da-
kato is not quite so far advanced. BY
continued cold and wet weather much
of the early season has been lost al
though it is some in advance of last
year still and warm weather is now
needed to make rapid growth.
At present time all small grain Of
all kinds is above ground and making
reasonable progress in growth under
most excellent and favorable GROUND
conditions which guarantees rapit
growth and progress for some time t.
come. The month of April was dry
comparatively speaking and while nj
grain has suffered the rain was very
timely and usual at this time of TIN
year which makes conditions most fav
orable.

produces the best results, and by being
a participant in the contests, you can
compare your scorings with that of the
judges.
For instance, you may ripen your
cream to a high acidity so that it will
possess high aroma, which you may
give high score, yet the judges may
not like the flavor and score it low.
Consequently, it is important to labor
persistently in keeping in touch with
their scoring.
My success in making high scoring
butter is due to the experience indicated
heretofore, supplemented with constant
diligent care. l have not the complete
equipment of machinery that some of
my brother buttermakers have, and
therefore the greatest possible care and
the. introduction of the most modern
methods must be used in order to COM
pete with those more favorably situated.
1t is not an easy matter for a butter
maker to succeed in securing up-to-date
machinery, such as a pasteaurizer, and
other modern equipments; it's not an
easy proposition to talk this into the
average creamery board: Better days,
however, are coming, once they see that
| it is a good investment and that it
means a better price for the product,
they will be quick to avail themselves
of all Improvements.
| Now as to the butter that won the
Van SAINT Cup. Nothing but whole milk
was received, this from the best pat
rons, which was skinned at from IS
to S5 degrees, using common cream

North and South Road Again.

Last week among other things pub
iished i'm these columns We called atten-
ton to the lack of interest on the part
of the people of Mankato with reference
to the proposed railroad in the southern
part of the county. The Free Press IN
referring to the matter does not add
materially to that line of railroad hit
eratre which is calculated to afford en-
enlargement and comfort TO our friends
who are more vitality interested than is
that paper. For the benefit OF our
friends we wish to assure them that
there is every reason to believe that the
railroad will be built and none whatever
that it will not be built. And we are
free to say that were we publishing a
Nankato paper we should take more in
terect i'm the matter than do citizens of
that place if for no reason than to keep
the agitation at high tide and bolster
ulp and encourage Mayor Hodgkins and
others.-Janesville Argus.
The Argus again misstates the posi-
ton of The Free Press and the people
of Mankato toward the railroad project.
The citizens of MankatO are deeply in
terested in the construction of the north
and south road, realizing that such an
enterprise will be of benefit to this mu-
nicipality and section of the state. They
are ready to welcome the road, and as
has been stated in these columns, after
it gets into operation, the iobbers, man
ufacturers and dealers here will pat
ronize it with the liberality which is so
Characteristic of the residents of Man
kato. The Free Press has published
article after article giving encourage
ment to the construction of the road,
but this newspaper does not propose to
deal in pyrotecnnics, and the people feel
the same way.

Letter from the champion buttermak-
err. Winner of Van SAINT Loving Cup.
Editor of the Western Farmer and
Dairyman.-I am pleased to tell you how
beautiful Van SAINT loving cup, at the
State Educational Contest of 1904.
First of all, cleanliness was the watch
word, it was practiced in every detail
from the time the milk entered the
creamery in the morning until the work
was completed. The creamery was
thoroughly inspected, every nook and
condition. We find that the old adage
applies with great force to creamery
work, that anything that can be done
today should not be put off until to-
morrow.
In visiting creameries we find this
adage is sadly neglected, if there isn't
time to do the work during the day, do
it at night Let the creamery company
stand the oil bill. The creamery must
be neat and clean and the machinery in
good running order, if we expect good
results.
An up-to-date buttermaker must not
only be thoroughly equipped for his
work, but in addition must be diplo-
mat, as well as possess the necessary
ability and disposition to use it, to
make all kinds of improvements, and
keep things in order. He should not
only improve the conditions about his
creamery but if ne is to be a score
winner he must keep abreast of the
times, must employ the latest and best
methods ;if you are to improve the quality
of your butter watch closely your start
ers and score them on flavor as you
would your butter. Keep record of
the scoring of your butter from every
churning in this way work yourself up
so as to know what kind of a starter

WASECA OFFICIALS HERE.
Shown the Local Lighting Plant BY
Supt. Brown.


Official visitors to the city from Wa
SEGA last evening were shown over the
electric lighting plant by R. E. Brown,
secretary and treasurer of the local
lighting company. The visitors came as
a result of little domestic row among
the officers of Waseca. Mayor William
C. Wobschal stands arrayed against
other officials of the municipality, who
have ordered some new paraphernalia
for the city lighting system. Tine
goods have arrived at the Waseca depot
and are lying there waiting to be I'M
packed The only thing that stands be-
tween these things and their destination
is big injunction issued at the in
stance of the mayor, who thinks the
old stuff good enough. Other officers
of the city and various leading citizens
have been hopeful of converting his
honor to their own way of thinking.
In the hope of making an up-to-date
man of him, in their opinion, num-
Der of Wasecans are taking him around
to various neighboring cities, trying to
interest him in the lighting systems
that he sees, and particularly in the en-
closed arc light. Besides the mayor,
the party includes j. B. Sullivan, DIR. G.
