AT CALDWELL
July 9th. Prominent Men in the
Dairy Business Will Be
Present.

The Commercial Club of Caldwell
has engaged Prof. Bernhard Boeg-
gild, the great Danish dairy expert
who Is now working a town of this
country. to deliver free lecture at
the great dairy meeting it proposes
to hold In Caldwell July 8.
Previous to 1880 the Danish pea
SAINTS made their own butter. In
1880 Boeggild was asked by the Fed
GRAFTON Of Agricultural societies of Jut-
land to investigate whether the peas
ants shouldcontinue to churn their own
butter, or sell their milk to central
dairies, or themselves establish CO.
operative creamerles. AS a result Of
his investigation Professor Boeggild
published his big work, "Co-opera-
tive Creameries" (Andelsmejerier.)
which revolutionized the whole dairy
industry. He emphasized the import
ance Of cooperation, as yielding the
greatest advantages to the smaller
farmers. During all these years he has
been a careful and faithful adviser
of the Danish farmers. Today Den

size of Idaho has 140O creameries.

western Canada furnish steady
market for berries raised In the North
west. The Hood River and eastern
Washington berries capture the early
market In those sections, and the
Puget sound berries come on for the
later weeks of the season. The Seat
