st. Paul-From a total production
of 100000 pounds of butter in 1887
to an annual increase of about that
number of pounds in the past three
years is the record of the growth of the
creamery industry in the state of Min

ending July 81, 1907, have not been
compiled, the total undoubtedly will
reach 100,000,000 pounds, and possibly
exceed that number.
The annual report of State Dairy
and Food Commissioner Edward K.
Slater, which has just come from the
printers hands, gives the details of the
production Of butter by the creameries
of the state for 1904. In that year the
total production was 7S,455,459 pounds.
In the next two years the increase was
about 100000 pounds a year and the
increase this year probably will exceed
that amount somewhat so that the total
production for the year will be about
100,000,000 pounds. This relates only
to the products of the creameries and
does not include the dairy butter, the
production Of which has also increased
in late years, although the rapid in
crease in the number of creameries
has put their production greatly ahead
of that of the dairieS
