| Since the life of the Wisconsin Dairy

been wrought in the state. The as

at Watertown by seven men W. d.
Hoard, H. C. Drake, Steven Favill,
A. d. Favill, Chester Hazen, H. F.
Dousman and w. S. Green. Dairying
at that time was in crude state and
the annual products of the state only
totaled $1.O00,00O whereas today the
annual sales of dairy produce in this
state amount to $50 J000, 900 and is only
exceeded by one other state-New
York-to which it has oeen a close
second for several years. Wisconsin
won all the prizes at the Worlds fair
last year in cheese, and much of our
| butter goes into the world famed Elgin
market. Much of these results have
been brought about by this association.
The association was also instrumental
in the Inauguration of farmers institutes
the establishment of the state dairy
