A committee was appointed to de-
wise ways and means to give token
of esteem to E. e. Kaufman, so long
identified with the creamery indus
try of the state, and about $50 was
subscribed for that purpose.
With determination on the part
of all present that each creameryman
should secure new members to the
association the meeting adjourned un-
til evening.
Evening Session
C. w. Bacon was the first speaker
at the evening session and gave an
excellent address on the subject of
making ice cream.
The dairy part of the program hav-
ing been gone through with Prof. O..
O. Churchill of the agricultural col
lege at Fargo, gave a very interest
ing talk on forestry. He said among
other things that unless some siren
uous work was done by the general
government and the states that with
in 80 years the country would be a
treeless waste, so to speag. It paid
to raise trees, especially fruit trees
which did well If properly cared for,
there being number of large orcahrds
already is the state and proving the
truth of his statement. OF course
everybody knows that small fruits do
amazingly well here. He hoped farm
er would pay more attention to
groves about their farms, both for the
beauty they added to the place and
for the timber they would produce.
Q. c. Gregg Of Lynn, MINI, was the
next speaker and his remarks had a
peculiar interest to Bismarckers from
the fact that he conducted the first
farmers institute in this city about
twenty years ago, that was ever held
in the territory of Dakota.
Mr.. Gregg settled out on the from
bier in southwestern Minnesota, 80
miles from railroad and hauled lum-
Der that distance with an OK team for
his house. He described the hard
ships endured during the cold, stor-
my weather in those early years,
such hardships as the new settler
never dreams Of in these days of
modern conveniences and plenteous
means of transportation. The women
of the frontier of those days of social
paucity was character worthy of a
large place in our estimation. Many
of the pioneers took into the wilder
ness a refinement which one would
scarcely expect and it was no uncom-
mon thing to find good musicians
among them, and the love of home
was the great incentive which made
the pioneers stick and succeed under
the most trying circumstances. Again
the opportunity to be absolutely free
OF all conventionaHties, to think their
ownthoughts. There should be limit
ations of hours of labor on the farm
|. the same as there is in the labor in
the towns; the work should be so
systematdzed that variety is inject
ed into it and it will be found that
life will be more worth the living,
especially when due regard is given
for rest and recreation.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gregg's
address the association adjourned
sine die.
The Butter Contest

tries of butter in the scoring contest

Chicago, said the butter was remark
able for its uniformity of excellence
and manufacture. Only the scores
reaching 80 or higher are given here,
the balance of the samples running
