Creamery Butter Contest.
The creamery, which. together with
the COW, forms the foundation of all
,dairying, will be represented in every
phase of it's work. The creameries of
Iowa are one of the most important
lines of manufacture which we have,
and may be called the backbone of
dairying At the present time accord.
ing to the last dairy commissioners
report, there are 46S plants manufac-
turing butter in Iowa. These are all
prosperous, and during the year Just
closed manufactured 96,695,5S4 pounds
of butter. The butter contest which
has proved 80 very attractive at the
1910 and 1911 conventions, will again
be held. Every creamery in the state
is invited and urged to enter tub of
their product, which will be placed in
an enormous refrigerator. located in
the middle Of the machinery hall. The

plate glass, thus making it possible to
exhibit the butter in perfect condition.

Herdsmen Contest.

herd depends largely upon the man
who has cared for it in the barn, the
Dairy Cattle Congress will offer prem.

and a gold watch will be offered in
this contest The awards will be

herds during the entire show.
Market Milk Contest.
With the growing demand for milk
as food for infants and invalids, as
well as for the general public, a mar.
ket milk contest was inaugurated with
the Dairy Cattle Congress last year,
Although the cities of Iowa are some
what limited in size, and possibly do
not offer the opportunity for as large
a milk contest as those of some of our
other states, the entries were very
satisfactory last year. The contest
will be under the direct supervision
of DR.. o. p. Thompson, state milk in
spector. who will be assisted by the
local city inspectors. This contest,
as every other feature of the conven-
ton and show, will be largely educa-
tional. It will undoubtedly have many
more entries than last year and from
the present outlook promises to draw
the attention of the milkmen in gen.
eral throughout the entire state. The

will be placed in glass refrigerator,

Core Thing Would Have Saved
$500.

Through an oversight in preparing
the specifications for the new Board
of Health building, the city will
suffer a loss of from 5000 to s1,10O.
This was learned yesterday when a
report was made to the building
committee of the Common Council
by Alderman Fischer, that the city
could have effected a saving of ST.
700 by using the core thing system
in the new building.
1t was finally decided to make this
change, the city agreeing to reim-
burse the contractor, Fred Fatzler,
who has already given out a contract
for the other work, to the amount
of his losses, which will be between
$500 and s1,100. 1t was pointed out
that even should the city be COM

of 81, 500 would be made by the
change. The committee will recon-
mend to the Council that the change
be made.

prior to the meeting inspected the
various municipal buildings now in
the course of construction. It was
reported tina the Fifteenth ward en-
CINE house will be completed in about
three months and the Central fire
