Artistic Butter Show.
Kansas is interested in the dairy in
dustry in all it's phases, and for this
reason the State Fair at Topeka will
each year enlarge the scope of it's dairy
department and the exhibits therein.
It is proposed to make the butter show
this year unusually artistic and to this
end will request the creamery interests
to spread themselves in the character
of the butter statuary shown. Some
exceedingly fine modelling was done for
the Continental Creamery by a we'll
known artist last year. Statuettes will
be executed in different design and on
a larger scale this year, and more de-
tails shown of the making of butter and
cheese.
