THE MAINE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIA-
TON MEETING.

The Maine Dairymen's Association was or
ganized in the town of Winthrop in 1898. For
many years a lack of organized effort upon
the part of the dairymen of the State had been
felt and the organization of this association
was the result Closely following the prelim-
mary meeting permanent organization was
effected with Hon. Rutillus Alden of Winthrop
as its first president. Since that time annua.
meetings have been held for the p,s-pose of
discussing dairy problems and the exhibition of
dairy products. During the past eleven years
it has served its purpose well, proven by
the progress that has been made in the dairy
legislation. The law authorizing the appoint
ment of State dairy instructor was the re-
suit of active work upon the part of the
Maine Dairymens Association and at the last
session of the legislature they secured an in
creased appropriation for the employment of
an assistant dairy instructor.
Recognizing the gradual change in the meth
cd of marketing dairy products, last year the
Maine Dairymen's Association offered pre-
MUM for exhibits of market milk and cream
This resulted in bringing to the annual meeting
the largest well of the best exhibits
ever held in this country. The Darymen' s
Association has made no more important
move in recognizing the great market milk
and sweet cream interest of the State than in
offering LARGELY increased premiums for the
e xhlblt OF these products in the present year
The annual meeting will be held at Skow-
egan, beginning Tuesday, November Both and
closing Friday noon, December 3rd. Prof.
Ivan c. Weld of the department of Agriculture
Washington, D. c. has been engaged again to
judge the market milk and cream, and he will
be assisted by representative of the Maine
Crea merymen's Association and the depart
ment of agriculture. The first day of the
association meeting will be given over to the
discussion of matters connected with the milk
and cream interest The following speakers
will deliver addresses
Prof. James 0. Jordan, milk inspector of Bos-
ton for twenty years, will speak on ''Observa-
tions by City Milk Inspector
Prof Ivan Weld of the department of ag
riculture, Washington, D. c., on "lmproving
the Nations Milk Supply"
Mr.. E. L. Bradford, Manager of Turner Cen
ter Dairying Association, on Looking Ahead
Prof. P. A. Campbell of the Maine Agricul-
tural College on DAIRY Butter Making
Already large number of letters have been
received from dairymen throughout the State
indicating their intention to enter in either
the milk cream class, and successful ex-
hbit is assured.
While Skowhegan is well supplied with ho-
tells, it would be well for those desiring reser-
walton to attend to the matter at once. Good
Accommodations can be secured at the following
hotels: Hotel Coburn, Skowhegan House and
Maine Central Hotel.
Programs, entry blanks and other informa-
tion concerning the meeting will be supplied
by the Secretary, Leon S. Merrill, Augusta
