HARDER WORK FORBOSSY
DENMARK'S PLAN SHOULD BE
PUT IN OPERATION.
Stimulated, She Can Put SIS, 900 900
Into the Pockets Of the Mime
sofa Farmers.

ST. Peter, Oct 22.-Legislative aid
is wanted to make the Minnesota
dairy COW do her duty. She is loafing
disgracefully, and dairy experts say
that if she can be stimulated properly
she will put $5OOo,OOO into the pockets
of the farmers of the state.
Increasing the production of milk is
one of the most important questions
to be taken up at the fourteenth an
annual convention of the Minnesota
State Butter and Cheesemakers' asso-
citation, which will be held in this
city next week. 1t will be discussed
on the last day of the session, when
Joel Winkjer of Crookston, an inspec-
tor connected with the state dairy and
food commission, will read paper
on Testing Associations"
Mr. Winkjer's plan is to form asso-
Citations in every county of the state
and engage competent dairymen as
travelling instructors. The duties would
be to go about from patron to patron,
weighing and testing the milk from
each individual COW, and making such
suggestions for feeding and caring for
the cows and milk as in their judy
ment would tend to make dairying
more profitable. Creamery reports show
that patrons are not making as much
money as they should from their cows,
and the advocates of the plan say that
scientific feeding would greatly in
crease the present average earning ca
pacity of $50 a COW each year.
In Denmark the testing associations
have been given a thorough trial and
have proven successful. There the in
creased production has been so marked
that the Danish government bears a
portion of the expense of maintaining
the associations. 1t is believed the
adoption of the plan would increase
the value of Minnesota's butter out
put from $2O,O00,00O to S25,000,00O a
year, and it <has been suggested that
the convention petition the legislature
for an appropriation to establish as.
sociations in severat COMMITTEES.
