homestead In 1880 and Mr.. Pendray
is still farming the old place And
many times, he said, he has thought
that he would have been forced out
long ago If it had not been for the
dairy COW.
He bespoke kind treatment for the
milch cow, and stated that he had al
ways told his hired men to speak to
the dairy cow as they would to their
lady friends
In the eighties, he said, butter was
sold here for eight and ten cents a
pound. He expressed his conviction:
that it had been a mistake for the
merchants to give chips for butter
and eggs, instead Of cash, that It had
been a short-sighted business policy
that had kept down the dairy busi-
ness. Mr.. Pendray paid a tribute to
the new company's methods and said
that he thought there was now an
assured future for the dairying In:
|dustry.
The. speaker related q story of his
own experience in butter making. AT
one time he had been making butter
himself and had brought some of it to
a butter contest, where he had re-
|ceived the second prize. Some one
said to him, But you didn't make
that butter; IT was your wife's, was
lit not
+, "No, 1 didn't make the butter!"
he replied, .'All do about making
butter is to milk the cows and feed:
them and clean the stables and sep;
arate the cream and churn the but,
tier and salt it and pack it into jars,
M. M. Hanna Speaks.
The manager of the plant, NJ. M.
Hanna, who recently came from Du.5
Eluth to take charge of the local fac;
tory, gave q short address, stating
that he wished to acknowledge his
debtto the Comm ercial club, the
business men, and the people Of the
Fcity for the5 aid athey had given in:
getting the business underway.

D::I j. Settler began the last address
81 the afternoon s.. stating that the
new creamery was already getting
cream from 10 stations OF Its own,
Its individual patrons now numbering
about 1000.
He compared a typical Iowa farm
with one of North Dakota, review
ling the differences In crops and in
|the value Of the land. One of the big
factors in causing the Iowa land to
be valued at a figure so much higher.
he stated to be the we'll organized
fdairying Industry in Iowa. He be-
llieyes, he eaid, that 1t is to be one OF
the greatest industries Of this state,
also. SO he was glad to be numbered
among those who aided in stablish-
IinE. a creamery here and was also
glad the Bridgeman-Russell COM
pany, with its great organization, had
been induced to come here.
Dairying and pig raising, he said,
should 60 hand in hand. And to
make dairy country It is necessary
Ito have men willing to milk. This
country has not hitherto attracted
that class of hired help, just because
lit has not been known as dairy
country. II the farmers keep dairy
cattle ami are willing to milk. they
will have less and less difficulty in
hiring men willing to milk.
MI. Seller mentioned several Stut
man county men who are making q
great success of dairying among them thems
H. r. Little, G. H. Knobel and the
Kellys. He advocated the giving of
more attention to fencing, pasturage
land good barns. All Of this involves
|much hard work, but everything
worth while is secured only through
routine and drudgery and worry.
