The DAIRY INDUSTRY

EPITOMIZED.
The National Dairy Show, having
arranged for a permanent home in
which to forward the Dairy Industry
III all of its branches, and recognizing
the COW as the foundation OF all things
Dairy, is undertaking to build an an
nual Exposition that will not alone
prove to be school for the farmer,
but an advocate OF the highest type
for the more general and varied use
OF the products of the Dairy. To do
this successfully we must first have
the attention and interest of the far
mer and dairyman; next the support
OF the many interests allied with ana
collateral branches of the industry.
With this thought in mind, the man
agement Of the National Dairy Show
desires to report progress made for
the 1912 show to be held in Chicago.
October q to November 2. We have
assurances from the best breeders of
the different breeds of cattle that they
will be with US, and for purposes OF
competition We have arranged a very
complete classification, and by obtain
ing the very strongest talent for
judges, who will be selected with the
sole purpose in view of making a rib
bon at this great National Show an ar
ticle Of supreme value, settling the
question of show yard supremacy each
year after the herds have done battle
in the fairs and shows in their respec-
tive territories. We will make this
show yard the mart for highest tyne
of selection and the place from where
all matters of breeding and feeding
will be demonstrated as a guide to
the old-timer and new beginner Here
is what we will have for you: Judges
of National and International repute
to pass upon the cattle; a Govern
ment exhibit in charge of experts that
will display breeds with record of
test performance, the kind to own and
the kind not to own; the test of feeds
for results; the proper and improper
methods of handling the products and
marketing Of same; civic sanitary and
hygienic requirements will be illus
trated and explained by experts Of
National prominence. We have pre-
pared a splendid premium list for
Dairy Products which will bring out
a strong lot OF contestants with milk
and cream exhibits for honors; butter
and cheese makers will enter their
products for supremacy and every
thing that can be developed for the
benefit Of the visitors in direct con-
nection with the COW will be shown.
The Borden Milk people, at an enor-
nous expense, will give daily demon
STATIONS of the pasteurizing, cooling,
bottling and distributing of milk. They
will erect in the show a plant equal
in size to that used in a city branch.
This must be helpful in alIaying all
agitation of the pure milk question for
the city consumption. The Blue Val
ley Creamery will erect a plant in the
show capable of making a ton of but
ter each day, showing the pasteurizing
process and the clearly, sanitary
methods of a creamery. The Consum-
ers Company will manufacture ice
cream in a glass machine in full view
of the visitors, showing the thorough
ly healthful and sanitary manufacture
of this now extensively used condiment.
Demonstrators from domestic science
schools and colleges viii give exhibit
tons and distribute recipes covering
the more general use of milk as a
food. The Universal Cement Com
pany will erect an educational silo ex-
hibit Of large proportions, so that
methods of preparation and care of
ensilage, as well as the construction
of silos, may be thoroughly discussed
and understood There viii be ex-
hibits from the many machinery
houses, who will actively display and
explain every new and modern device
to their better understanding, and,
in fact, the ten-day period of the show
will have crowded into it more of real
value for the dairy industry than any
other show ever before held for such
a purpose. The man engaged in pro
ducing dairy products and the con.
sumner will get undesirable benefit
by an attendance upon this entire de
tail working of all that pertains to
daiTying under one roof.
