New School Law.

Last week we were told that the
bill making a new school district in
South Arm township had passed the
House without amendment, aud we
published the one compiled here. 1t
was since learned however, that the
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
had altered the Bill to such an extent
that, owing to tile fact that a number
have asked for extra copies Of The
Herald containing same, we reproduce
same as passed and signed by Governor
Warner.

experienced i most rapid development
in the past decade. The agricultural
sections of the state, which We're for
merly grain-producing almost exclusive
ly, have become great dairying districts
peopled by farmers devoted to the pur-
suit of diversified farming and stock
raising. Minnesota has demonstrated
to the world that in dairy products she
takes her stand in the foremost rank
among the great dairying districts OF
the world, and she may feel justly proud
of the success which has been obtained.
There are undoubtedly as large num-
Der of COWS furnishing milk for private
diaries in the state as are contributing
to our creamerles and cheese factor!es,
and this fact must be borne in mind
in studying the following statistics in
order to fully appreciate the magnitude
of the industry \ total of 449, TAO
COWS contributed to our creameries and
cheese factories in 1903, total of
1895, 94S, 495 pounds of milk, from which
were manufactured I2,266,34S pounds
of butter and 3,99S,646 pounds of cheese.
A total Of $14,3S5, 090.54 was paid farm
ers Of the state for the milk furnished
these factories. There are TO cream
cries and 90 cheese factories. Of these
the farmers of the state own and con-
troll Cos and 254 are owned by Individual
parties.
While the volume of the dairy bust
ness in Minnesota is sufficient to at
tract the attention of her sister carrying
states, her reputation as the leading but
ter state Of the union has been accom-
plished thru the superior quality of her
creamery butter. She began her series
of successes in 1884, when she won
grand sweepstakes at the New Orleans
cotton exposition. Again in 1898 she
won first premium at the world s fair,
in Chicago, and in 1896 gold and silver
medals at the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, ma
tional creamery buttermakers' contest.
In 1897 the victory of 1896 was repeated
at the OwatOnna, MIMI, meeting OF the
National Creamery Buttermakers asso-
citation, a gold medal and silver cup be-
ing the trophies.
In 1898 the national prize again went
to Minnesota at the Topeka, Kan, meet
ing. In this same year four first prem
iums were won at the Omaha exposition.
In 1899 the first prize was again won
at the national creamery buttermakers
contest at Sioux Falls, s. D. Again in
1900 Minnesota won first place at the
national contest at Lincoln, Neb. At

The winning of so many prizes has

of those interested in the upbulldlng OF
the dairy interests OF the state-lt has
for Minnesota butter in the markets OF
the world and the people who have
been producing this golden product
which has made the state SO famous,
have profited accordingly. Minnesota
is today receiving a higher premium
for her creamery butter in the eastern
markets than any other state IN the
union, and this, of course, means more
money in the pockets of the producer.
The additional price received for Min
nesota butter over that sold in any
other state, is a substantial benefit for
the patron who produces milk tor
creamery in Minnesota.
In spite of the wonderful growth
which has been accomplished by our
dairy interests, the prospects for the
future are indicative of greater prog

state, where the general adoption of the
industry has been brought about thru

During the past five years the business

Red river valley, and this section. is

Northeastern Minnesota
conditions are perhaps more favorable

from the standpoint Of a market for
dairy products and from the natural
conditions of the country. The great

cheap farm homes, where they can en-
gage in the business of dairying. The
vast empire comprised by the north
west and northeast sections of the state.
the natural advantages Of which are
so apparent to the observer, should
soon become peopled by farmers en-
gagged in dairying and stockraising. No
Other section Of the whole northwest
can offer such opportunities and induce
ments. 1t is the universal opinion of
authorities who have given the matter
attention, that Minnesota has only en-
tered upon her career as a great dairy
ing state. She will eventually become
the greatest dairy state in the union in
quantity as she is now recognized the
leader in quality.
