The Grand Forks committee of farmers from
the Red'river valley, appointed by the conven
tion wliicn met at that place to interview General
Manager Manvil of the Manitoba road, arrived in
St. Paul yesterday afternoon, and assembled at
the Manitoba offices at 2:30 in ihe afternoon.
The following are the members of the commit
tee: G. Hamilton and B. G. Powers,
of Grand Forks, John De
Groat and A6a Sargent, of Traill county, E. D.
Faulkner and George Brown, of Walsh county;
Frank L. Dana and E. Bardell, of Ramsey
county; James Langton and Aulturn Garnett,
of Pembina county. In addition there were
present W. N. Roach, president of the agricul
tural and commercial association; George B.
Winship, secretary; Hon. George P. Harvey, N.
E. Maloney, John McKelvey and Grain Inspec
tors West, Fadden and Flemming.
The grievances which these gentlemen came to
seek redress for, are well known. They are un
fair grading of wheat, exorbitant eleva'or
charges, and a practical monopoly of thu nand
ling of their grain by the Minneapolis Millers
association.
Maj. Hamilton, chairman of the committee,
ope led the meeting with an addrpss culling at
tention to tae grievances complained of, for
which he admitted the Manitoba was not re
sponsible.
The fact is thatthefuti.ro prospects of the
Ro 1 ri vet i alley depends upon the honest grad
ing <>r its wneat. and the committee believed
I was the duty of the people to present to
the Manitoba road a statement ni iho injustice
imposed upon them and attempt to «;cure its
co-operation in remedying the abuse?.
The committee came to Mr. Manve' as their
friend, for they believe the i -
teres's of his road and <»f
i are identical. i!''■;■• nor lio~r
i]«y was t<> receive its share of im
-ion these grievances must bo adjusted,
and 'he ill feeling must, be subdued. Thy
could best be attai. Ed through tho

'j ■ nga higher grading for wheat
lived in Minneapolis. "But," said
Mr. Faulkner, "Mr. Pillsbury did not Bee the
'. vil ;iiid did not Bee the matter in its
Jit I it. No matter what Mr.
tillbbury said the farmers had every roa6on to.
comp] grades. Mr. Pillsbury had
■<> examine liis books and see the
grading for themselves. But this would not do
us the <lii>i:;ulty began further back lhan that."
Mr. Faulkner gave an instance that came un
der hit- own observation. A load of wheat comes
into market and is graded as No. 1
hard. Another load from the same
granery comes to the elevator
and is graded No. 1 straight, the difference in
the price being 7 cents per bnshel. They were
both put into the same bin in the elev.itor atid
sent to Mii.neapolis as No. 1 hard. It maybe
just n little below grade but it is accepted, and
the elevator man puts 7 cents in his pocket for
every bushel of the No. 1 straight.
THE MANITOBA INTERESTED.
The Manitoba road was interested in this mat
ter and if the farmers were to get justice it must
come through that corporation. The amount
of immigration this country is to receivo de
pends upo:. the fairness with which the settlers
are t'eated, aud if they cannot show fine treat
ment immigration will cease. Many now seri
ously contemplated leaving, and'the reputation
of the valley was declining, and with this comes
a positive injury to the Manitoba road. It might
be said that these eroneous gradings were a mat
ter of defective management on the part
of the elsvator men, but if merely an error it
wou'd hardly happen every day at all elevators.
It was something else besides laok of judgment.
In tho future it might be that state grain inspec
tion wou-d remedy thi6, but meanwhile the
farmers suffered greatly.
FRgIGHT BATES.
Mr. F .ulkner next touched upon the subject
of freight ra'es, which average from the stations
to Aliuneapol s about fifteen cenis.
To this must be added the ele
vator charges of two and one-half cents.
But -when the wheat readied Minneapolis the
farmers were informed that the charges of dif
ferent kinds amounted to from 22 to 24 cents.
This looked as though the elevator people
wanted tee farmer to take from their own pock
r-ts whatever risk there was in handling tho
gram Ho compared this method witli that
practiced by the Northwestern road, whose man
agers look after the interests of their farmer
patrons, and where a better state of things
prevails, the elevator business being
open to competition. The charges to tho far
mors on that road were three or four cents lo^s a
bushel than these to the Red River farmers.
This three or four cents a bush ?1 was the differ
ence to the farmer between prosperity and
poverty. They were drowning, overwhelmed by
the Minneapolis Millers' association, and the
onl / rope they could see was that which the Mani
toba roid could throw to them if it would.
FROSTED WHEAT.
Mr. Garnett, an extensive farmer of Pem
binu coanfy spoke upon the subject of frDsted
wheat, which, he said, the farmers could not be
convinced was injured to the extent claimed by
the Milier's associatijn. Woat the farmers
wanted was the power to handle and strip their
own wheat, and until they attained this they
would not write to their friends and advise
thim to come to the Red river
Valley. The farmers were gradually
going d >wn under the injustice of the elevators,
and if this continued, instead of a community
of independent freeholders, building and livina
in their own homes, they would be reduced to
penury, and the interests of tha road suffer with
them.
Mr. James Laughton, also of Pembina county,
6aid that he had induced 200 good men to settle
in his neighborhood, and that as he
moved among them now he found most of them
discouraged. He related several instances of
the injustice practiced up m them,and how their
discouragement affected trade, and the injury
freights of the Manitoba road also received.
Maj. Hamilton, the chairman of the commit
tee, m-tdo the la«t speech for
them. He eaid that one of the things
which the farmers wanted was not to be obliged
■c their wheat through the elevators of the
Minneapolis and St. Paul, but to have the privi
lege of shipping it unbroken to Milwaukee, Buf
falo, Chicago or wherever its final destination
misjht be.Tliey wfire not jealous of the growth of
Minneapol is ;ind St. Paul, but felt as though they
ought not to bo called upon to build them up at
tfceir own expense. He did not know how this
improvement might be made, but ho did know
that if the farmers of Pembina could send their
wheat direct to auy part of the United State.-'
at a fair tariff they coald not then complain
about it. Another thing complained of was the
present system of c evat >rs.ln this > hey could not
critieiso the management ef the Manitoba road.
They did not understand the causes which led
to the [inauguration! of this system, but there
was a univerel demand that it be reformed so
that any wliou buyer could build an elevator of
email capacity without pßying tribute to the
monopoly wni'*h erects nothitg but 30,000
bushel elevators.
The third suggestion by the farmers was that
the time hid come when the Manitoba company
would reduce its freight rates. Then it
would receive xuore freight, especially that

the evils did not lie in a y of the suggestions
he had" made, he hoped, that it' you'd
be discovered where it does lie, and then that
da" remedy would be applied.
. " MANAGES SIANVKIi'S VIEWS. -
-Mr. Mauvel then t->ok the floor, and said that
ihe members of the committee were quiie cor
ject when they said that the company's interests
were identical with theirs, aid t! at it was their
friend and was ready to co-operate with them in
reined ing any ' abuses which might exist, aDd
.would adopt any prac icable system which should
seem beet for all concerned. He then re
viewed the history of the investigation of the
present system of elevators along the line of the
road. It became evident in 1832, he said, that
there was not storage room enough for the
wheat, so orders were given that all warehouses
of small capacity should 'be removed to make
room for larger ones, and that no elevators
should be put, up of less capacity than 30,000
bushels. This question of fixing the minimum
capacity at 80,..U0 bushels was a matter of
judgment and it might be wrong. The railroads
had also been actuated to put the elevators into
the hands of responsible parties by the fear that
some dishonest buyers would gather up a lot of
the wheat, sell it and go,
LEAVING THE FAEMERS IN THE LURCH.
It' was impossible, as the convention well
knew, to load the wheat into cars. immediately
after harvest. The harvest was too great and
the cars too few.especially when it is considered
that the wheat must be housed
within sixty or ninety days after being • reaped.
So it was necessary to provide some mammoth
system of storage and Pillebury, Hurlburt &
Co., having the contract were protected by the
railroad compaf y. The elevator company con
tracted to build the houses and keep them open
the year round and on its Bi"e the railroad com
pany promised not to give room to smaller
houses which might handle, nearly as much
grain on a smaller capital. The
railroad company has ' always been
willing, however, that the farmers there selves
should cut up the elevators where theri was
room tear the side tracks. If the restrictions
above mentioned were taken off, the elevator
company would only be able to their ele
vators open durin.' the busy season—the ninetj
days following harvest— the rest of ihd year
there would be
NO MARKET FOR WHEAT.
The question of grading was a difficult one to
handle. It was rather hard for the farmer to
bring grain to the market and find there an in
spector from whose decision there wao no ap
peal. It would be just as much a hardship on
tho other side, however, for the farmer to be
his own inspector. Tho question was to find
an arbitrator between the two parties.
He believed it was generally held that a state
inspector of grain was the best solution of the
difficulty. He understood there wad no element
that caw any objection to this.
IN BEOAED TO I'RICEg,
Mr. Manvel said that wheat was low everywhere
thi3 year and it was also fouad that Red river
wheat lost grade tho farther east it was sent. He
quoted from a letter received from one of the
most promiuent commission houses in the
country to the effect that ere was a good de
mand for lied river wheat at the seaboard ■
for rep«rt, but there was difficulty in hating j
grades at which wheat brought in the FoJ river
valley would hold its grade in Dulut 1! compared
with the gradu at which grain is shipped from
tha country elevators. .Wheat, is relatively
higher in St Paul than Chicago, in Chicago
than in New York, and in New York than in
Liver] 001.
Mr. ftianvel said that in regard to the request
for through shipment to eastern points, That in a
pood many years experience as a railroad mana
ger in Chicago, he knew that not much wheat
was shipped east by rail from that city during
the period of lako navigation; ho ha , however,
no objection to lied river fanners loading cars
through for Chicago and Milwaukee. He
would not allow them to go through to
Ontario, as when cars got as far
away from homo as that it was very difficult to
get them b^ck. again. But grain for those dis
tant points could be transferred by hand from
one car to another at the St. Paul transfer with
out going through the Minneapolis elevators.
Tais was a rule of the road and if any such
request from the farmers had been denied by the
elevator agents they had assumed a responsibil
ity which did not belong to them.
Mr. Manvel was interrupted by the question
whether Pillsbury, Hurlburt & Co. received any
iebate on their freight rates. He denied em
phatically that this was the cas«.
In regard to freight rates Mr. Manvel showed
by. statistics that the Manitoba road was under
very heavy expense in the matter of coal and
supplies from the east, and that there was no
road in the country, traversing a similar coun
try, which gave
SUOH LOW BATES
as the Manitoba. He stated that it was the pol
icy of the road to decrease its tariff as fast as it
creases its volume of business. For instance,
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, its
freight receipts were 2.5 cents per ton per mile;
for the next year they were only 1.98 cents per
ton per mile. The road desired to make a low
rate on wheat and lumber fir as a reasonable
tariff on those commodities was of the first im
portance to the farmers.
He understood tha: narrowed down to two
points the request of the farmer , which were,
first for a reduction of the minimum elevator
capacity from 20,000 to 15,000 bushels, in order
to admit of competition, and second for a lower
freight rato. Begirding the first request he
seemed favorably disposed, and said the road
would be glad to consider it, but, while ho aid
not want to commit himself about it, he wanted
to think what effect this would have on the
peop c who had built the large eleva
tors, relying on the road's promise of protec
tion; and also whether the side tracks could be
arranged without too much expense so as to ac
commodate this increase of warehouse room.
In regaid to the second request, he said that
while he had not consulted with President Hill
about the matter, ho had np doubt that a reduc
tion would be made in the freight tariff in the
spring.
AS TO GRADING.
He wanted to say a word about grading. He
knew it to be the desire of Mr. Pillsbury that
more hard wheat should be raised, and to that
# end he was ssattering 50,000 to 60,000 bushels
of hard wheat seed through the country, to be
planted next spring, and proposed to increase
the difference iv the price of that grade from the
one next below it from 7 to 10 cents per bushel.
In conclusion Mr. Manvel said that this agi
tation had- done a great deal of harm to the
country. It was taken up by the Kansas papers
and immigration discouraged in various ways.
He cautioned the farmers against borrowing
money and extending their operations faster
than their means warranted, and concluded by
saying that his faith in the excellence of the Red
river valley as a home for settlers was not
abated and that the future would show that
their confidence was not ill-grounded. '.'-;■'
The meeting then adjourned to assemble at
10 o'clock this morning.
. MAJOR HAMILTON INTERVIEWED.
Major Hamilton, chairman of the committee,
was asked by a Globe reporter, at the conclu
sion of the meeting, what he thought had been
accomplished, and what the outcome would be.
He said it was early to predict what the result
would be, as, at a more private meeting with
Mr. Manvel a more definite statement of his in
tentions would bo asked. As much had been ac
complished, however, as was expected. Mr.
Manvel had met the committee as they came on
friendly terms and in the most amicable spirit.
The concessions that farmers could build their
own elevators and that through shipments of
wheat could be made to the east wore important
ones and indicated that the company sympa
thized with the feelings of the farmer and was
ready to relieve them whenever possible.
The true solution of the grading difficulty he
thought was the inauguration of a system of
stute inspection such as that now in vogue in
Illinois and other states, where no complaints
are heard, and he thought it quite possible that
the legislatures of Minnesota and Dakota would
act conjointly in the matter 'at their next
sessions;
MATTEES IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Yesterday noon Territorial Inspectors Flem
ming, Fadden and West came in from south
Dakota and were interested spectators at the
meeting. In an interview on .the result of their
trip Maj. Fiemming staled that the inspectors
had failed to find in south Dakota the con
dition of affairs peculiar to the Red River val
ley. The producers there had no complaints to
make of ; the transportation facilities or the
elevator system. The Chicago, Minneapolis &
St. I'aul, and North we -teru roads afforded
them a healty competition and no
restraint was placed upon storage facilities in
the way of elevator - along their line. With the
ea^e privileges and conditions in north' Dakota
much of the troub'e thera might bo alleviated.
They found iii south Dakota, as in the Red river
valley, however, a general desire for a uniform
6tßte inspection law, If this could be hid in
connection with the healthful competition be
tween transportation companies and free eleva
tor facilities the producers would be satisfied.

helps to indicate the interest taken in the pro

this thrifty and wide awake .town. The people

THE SILVEB PREMIUMS.
All the silver premiums offered for batter,both
creamery and dairy, consisting of silver creamer,
spoon holder, coffee pot, slop bowl, sugar bowl,
eleven in number, were displayed on the chair
man's desk when the session opened, and there
remained till adjournment.
HINTS ON THE DAIBY.
On taking the chair the president announced
that the first paper to be read would be one
prepared by Mr. Samuel Dealing, of St. Paul,
on the subject of Hints on the Dairy. In re
sponse Mr. Dearing appeared and read the fol
lowing:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Associa
tion: The place for the dairy? Tnis is as well
the first as perhaps the most important point in
the discussion of this question. It is well
known to us all that the ordinary dairy is situ
a'ed anywhere, from the filthiest back alley of
the crowded cities to the broad prairies of our
western states. As a rule the place is not se
lected for the dairy, but the dairy for the place;
which place has too often been the scene of other
failures, since dairying is often the last
resort of _ the hank rapt farmer,
gardener, laborer and merchaut. Now the place
for the uairy is out of the city, and if possible,
on rolling ground, with- ample supply of good
water, well protected from the frosts
in winter, with sufficient tillable
'and to utilize all the manure; the latter
point I insist upon ts being necessary to the best
results in good dairy ing. High feeding, which is
the only feeding allowable, as I shall presently
6how, products a quality of manure that is of
great value and cannot be disposed of to any
advantage in any other way than by being
placed at once upon soil that will retain it
and favor a yield of age that cannot be equaled
in quantity anaquality except by this high feed
ing. Now, as to what is the most profitable
crop.for the dairyman to raise: I say without
hesitation sweet corn thickly planted in row*
and cultivated one way. In this way I claim
from six to ten tons per acre of dry fodder,
which, with a small amount of tame hay and
liberal supply of wheat bran, will keep a cow a
a year, or in other words will enable a farm to
carry a cow for every aero. This system of high
manuring applies with equal favor to larga pro
duction of tame hay, w^cn 1 place
second in importance, and which may be made
to yield from four to six tons per acre, depend
ing upon the amount it is pastured. For either
o£ those crops there need be no fear of too much
manure, the more you bow the mores you ma
reap. We shall next want a stable. Little
in-) J b 5 said concerning the stable, it should be
substantial, basement roomy, warm, conven
ient for feeding and cleaning, with plenty of
light and well ventilated.
NOW FOR THE STOCK.
Now we have locatod the farm, BtaVei and
made pro vision for feed and water: we 6hsll
look for thy stock. Our general lac s or" cattle
have been ages in their formation, but our im
proved breeds, as they now exist, are of very
recent origin. In fact scarcely any attention to
distinct breeds of cattle was ever given until
within the last one hundred years. We need a
breed of cattle adapted to our soil and climate.
New England states need a "breed of cattle as
hardy as the De rons and the siza of the Jerseys.
Ohio and Illinois and the western states need „
breed of the size of the Holsteins. The north
west need a breed able to withstand its bliz-
zaris, that vrill graze upon our broad prairies as
the Short Horns do upon the "blue grass of Ken
tucky . !• '>! cattle we have none; that applies
totheTexai cattle, tre buffalo that lived one
hund ed ygars ago wild on the pairie- The first
ca'tle brought into Minnesota were Short Horns
and their g.ades. Many pedigree animals found
their way here from Indiana and Illinois in the
early days of Minnesota. Stook was low and
emigrants took alon^ only the best, consequent
ly we have a goed many good cat la brought
here, far superior to the general stock of to-dsy.
We start out to purchase and this is what
we shall find; The old cow with ten
or fif een circles on the herns
(the best one in the yard), the broken horn,
gothic ribbed, pot bellied, narrow-chested, cat
ham, half-shaped udder with a strean of milk
hardly will reach the bottom of the milk pail,
the calf as it shivers at the watering trough con
tinually growing larger in the middle and small
er at both ends! and look at your ledger acct. —
Dr. to labor and feed, seventy-five dollars, Cr.
by milk and carcass, fifty dollars amount to
balance. Failure! We hava met With failure,
don't let us be too proud to own it. What shall
we buy? the best we can get; the old cow if we
can do no better, and good thorough-bred bull
and commence to improve our herd, ever keep
ing in view good milking qualities; they are not
found or reared on the north side of a straw
stack in winter, although we may buy all the
improved breed in the country. The farmer has
gone to town dressed in fur overcoat" to attend a
convention of farmers for protection against the
R. R. for shipping his oats, corn and hay, for he
sells most of it instead of feeding it to his stock,
la thi formation of milk families or breeds,
both male and female should be fed up to the
highest standard coneistant with their health
and the health of their unborn offspi ing. In the
first place we must have the large digestive ap
paratus wth the large . frame necessary to sup
port it, the one calls for the ether. The dis
position to lay on fat is exactly the same as that
to secrete the fat globules that go to produce
the richest milk; the food that goes to stimulate
the one may be made to produce the other. Not
but that there are not different foods better
adapted to cows in different circum.?tur.ee3 and
to produce different results, For example, we
do not consider ii just the thing to feed corn
meal to produce the best flow of milk; not but
that is the richest food and would produce the
best results in the pail if we had'a cow that could
properly handle such strong food, but we have
not, for we find that such feed is to heating, and
after a short time closes the nilk se
creting ducts, and then goes on her
back in the shape of flesh and fat. One
prominent cause of failure has been a lack of
nourishing food at critical periods. The cows
are generally bred in the spring, and then just
at the critical time when the cow has to build
up her future developments and sustenance,
the food of the dam diminishes, water a long
way off, flies are thick, and the hot sun; the
result of all this is soon seen in the milk fall
ing sometimes one-half in a single' month.
Again late in the fall, between grass and hay.
when cows feel most keenly the cold rains and
winds, and system needs r.cher food and heat,
her food is frequently the poorest, a small sup
ply of frost-bitten hay and oi rare occasions
the straw stack to run to, is considered ample,
for she'll dry up anyhow, what is the use. Now
comes the need of large sized cows, and one of
great importance to the dairymen is tho ulti
mate end (»f all dairy: stock is the butcher
block, one-fifth going there every year. Here
is where the cow, after paying for herself and
having made a fair profit for her owner in tha
dairy, is made to realize the crowning profit -to
the dairyman. In writiug the above I have used
the language of some <. f our most eminent writ
ers of the present day, as they are my ideas pre
cisely.
In answer to questions Mr. Dearing said he
fed all the cows could eat except com. He does
not feed corn to dairy cows, but'only to his beef
cows. He uses three-quarter Durhams and Hol
stiens, with a little sprinkling of Jerseys. Ho
hid made all his money off the I short ■ horns.
He fed earn that he called Dearir g's favorite,
the result of putting a small and large kind of
sweet corn together, from which he had got a
g00d,.;. largo ■ sized corn. This corn is
fed as it is cut, and he gives
tjie cows all they will eat. In the fall the corn
is cut and j brought in. He selects . his , coivg
. from the milking family. You need not go to
! the beef cattle for milkers. Ho feeds about a
pint of oil meal every day for three months after
calving; after that he drops them ■ down. After
the calving keep away from the cow for two or
three days, give her a little dry hay and a little'
water. It's high feeding only that pays.
Starving cows is a losing business and can't be
made to pay under any circumstances.
High feeding always ' pays. He
prefers bran yto shorts and
is of the opinion that the feed makes tho cream.
j lie never saw a c«-.v that h <». couM not mike !
■ money from. It is more in feeding than in the !
!. breeding. He woa'd rather pay *75 for a cow
>f him 660. *■• There is more ' mouey in paying a
large price than a small one. - ■
' WHAT HE DID.
. Mr. Holmes, of Owatonna, told how he man
aged his diary. . He contracted for a large part
of the butter he produced at the
hotels in St. Paul. He fol
lowed up this - statement by giving
the particulars -of how he fed his cows and
< alves, and describing what condition he got
them into. The result of .it was that counting
in ihe ■ calves, the milk • and butter, his cows
brought him $100 per year each. He feeds his
cows on only a part of the pasture at a time.
It does not pay t» put them into a pasture and
let them run all over creation ' In this country
we all have too much land. It would be better
to cultivate, less land but cultivate
it better. In the winter he keeps bis cows in
a good warm stable, and does not allow
them to be exposed to the severe cold. He lets
them out when he cleans the stable and the n
pats them right back again. He does not think
It is any more pleasant for cows to stand out in
the cold than it is for human beings. He thinks
a great deal of ensilage as feed. This is made
in this way: The grass, or corn stalks or what
ever it is to be made of is gathered in after it
is cut before it is diy and is placed in what is
called a silo, that is an . air
tight place. Upon this is placed
planks, and upon the planks a heavy weigh: to
press the hay down as tight as possible. This
constitutes the feed, and it furnishes, in hi*
opinion, the very best kind of food that can be
fed to cattle during the winter.
MINNESOTA AND HER DAIRYMEN.
Mr. McKinster, of Winnebago City, on being
called upon, said his knowledge of Minnesota
and her dairymen had been acquired during a
residence of thirteen years here. He commenced
on a Vermont farm. * The birth of Minnesota as
a dairy state occurred during the spring of 1881.
In March of that year the Butter, Cheese and Egg
association held a meeting at Cedar Bapids.lowa.
Only, two Minnesotians were present,one to learn
something about the creamery business and tha
other to get intoxicated. Both succeeded. In
all the speeches and discussions during that
meeting, Vermont, New York, Ohio, Illinois,
Wisconsin and lowa were referred to as dairy
States. No mention in this connection was
made of Minnesota. Minnesota wheat and
flour was in demand; also her bran to feed to
dairy stock in other states, but what little butter
she had to sell was not wanted in the eastern
markets. With the coming of the creamery the
southern part of our state sprang into new life.
Go to the southern part of the state, where a
few years ago the land was delivered of one of
the worst plagues ever known, the grasshoppers,
and where the people had to leave their lands.
They have now returned, or others have taken
th' ir places. Vacant lands have been bought by
actual settlers, new houses hnve - been built,
fences put up, and good im
provements arj to be observed
everywhere, the oul reapars have been s->ld In
old iron, the organ and sewing machine stand
side by side in the parlor, and all is thrift and
prosperity. What has wrought, this change?
Cows, corn and hogs have done it- Yet all tire
not satisfied, for our cows do not come up to
the mark. T .ey have been bred for beef and
have not teen educated for milking purposes.
The farmers in Ilinois, Missouri, aL<l lowa tell
U6 their cows bring them from $40 to #8'» net,
while ours do not bring us more th-: ■ • *2:.
Tt!O farmers of these states tell us they to. .i two
quarts corn meal, two quails uf bran and one of
oats with a little oil nseal per day.
He said there were three or
four things we must learn before wo
shall attain success as dairymen. First, how to
breed a dairy of milkers; second, how to food
properly; third, to provide warm shelter for our
cow.-, with good water near them, so that their
wants can be supplied in their qu .rters on days
of condor stormy weather;.fourtn, the deternnn ■
ation to make the business a success, which can
only be done by making tke care of the dairy
stand first in the importance and punctually at
tending to its duties. Other work on the farm
must wait, if need be. In 1880 we had 275,541)
cows in Minnesota, a '. increase of 121 per cent
from 1870. The number in 1883 was 307,576, a
gain of 32,026 for the past th;ee years, i The
amount of butter manufactured in 1683 wa^
18,0(4.1,010 pounds. k This gives sixty pounds to
the cow. Only about 3,000,000 pounds have
been made by the creameries. We have done
very well so far, but we (must not stop here.
We have the best climate of all the states for
dairy purposes. We can raise everything nec
essary to feed, so that everything looks favora
ble. Mr. McKin6try said that so far as he
was personally concerned he had been very suc
cessful during the year and his business satis
factorily profitable. He had been testing his
cows separately and | had commenced weeding
out unprofitable cows. He has purchased dur
ing the year some Holstein's and some grade
c .ws. He hesitated long before he could bring
his mind to pay the long pieces, but he finally
did it and will see the experiment through. He
was anxious to have Minnesota make this great
industry a source of wealth second to no other
state. Less than two years ago a New York
dealer cautioned Mr. McKinstry to tell the
creamery men up hero not to put anything on
their butter to indicate that it come
from Minnesota. Now, our butter is
quoted alon^s with lowa butter. We
will have no difficulty in getting the price as
soon as we get the quality. He closed his paper
with tho following prediction: "I prophesy
that within a very few years a brand of butter
will be sold on the Mankato board
of tn.de that . will .be recognized
in the markets .as the peer of Elgin.
Afternoon Session.
In the afternoon the, whole association and
many friends,numbt.rmg about 300, went to visit
the state institutions and Bishop Whipple's
schoos. Oa arriving at the deaf and dumb
asylum, they were shown through the building
by Prof. Noyes, and four of the scholars wore
called out and asked by the superintendent to
write on the blackboard an address of welcome
and the following were put down:
Welcome to the dairymen of Minnesota from a
dairyman's daughter. My earliest j recollections
are of my life oa a dairy farm. So in wel
coming you, ■ I feel like welcoming my own
people. I always thought my mother's butter
and cheese the bel tin the world. I do Dot be
lieve you can excel it, trough you have been
putting so many wise beads together. lam glad
to see you all hero now this afternoon. I hope
yon will have a pleasant visit, and that you will
enjoy yourselves. I think that it is far better
to live on a farm, than to live in the dusty and
smoky city, because, we farmers are sure of in
dependent, healthful and happy lives, if wa de
serve them. May Cabtee, Minneapolis.
Welcome to the dairymen oj Minnesota: On
the occasion of your first visit to the "silent
paople" at Faribault, we bid you all a hearty
welcome, and hope you will find that we are not
stupid if we can't say much; but bright and
smart, and full of a "know-enough" spirit.
Don't you think that the churning our brains
eet results in the best of gilt-edged product?
MaryE. Graham, Minneapolis.
Welcome to the Dairymen's association of Mi •
nesota: , W-» are much pleased to have you visit
us and see h0.7 well we are doing here. j You
havo tome here to examine your property, and
see if we make good use of it. Every person in
Minnesota owns a little piece of this big build
ing; I guess it would be hard for one to find his
own piece. Caddie Washbdrn,
Minneapolis. ■
Gentlemen: We are glad, to welcome you,
and to know that you have not forgotten to visit
our school. W9 aro not going to tire . you with
heave speeches, like yon have been hearing
about Jersey butter and cheese factories yester
day and to-day, but give you some light school
boy talk.
You were not roused to your accustomed
labors by the crow of the cock at 4 o'clock this
morning. You are free for a while at least
from the cares of yoar dairies and I , guess you
are having a jolly time as well as stuffing your
heads full of wisdom. John Schwirtz,
' ■ ; Wabashaw, Minn.
From the deaf and. dumb asylum this party
wont to St. Mary's and then to the^blind asylum
and returned to the court house about half past
three, when the work of the session was re
sumed.
•■•■*. ;• THE OFFICERS.
An effort was made to elect the officers for the
ensuing year, but a question was raised as to
whether it would be legal to elect them here.
Boms thought according .to the constitution the
ofucors must be elected in St. Panl.';-. In regard
to this, the opinion of Hon. Gordon E. Cole,
who wks in the audience, was asked, but he de
clined to give an opinion without seeing ' the
articles of incorporation. Many others took the
same view of the case, and it was conceded that
the effieers must be elected .in St. Paul. Mr.
Biddell, or Northfield, said there was
a vacancy on "account of the resignation of Mr.
DeariDg. - He said this idea th* no one knew
anything about this difficulty was too thin. Mr.
Lavisconte said Mr. 'Biddell was the secretary
i at the time and failed to record the articles, and
that jg the reason we have not got the articles
hereto-day. Mr. Dearing explained that the •■
arciclts were in Mr. Kiddell" « possession for. v {
j ear or two, bat he did not record them. It was |
finally decided that the election under the cir- j
cumstances could not be he d in Faribiult, and j
on motion of Mr. Levil Nutting the present di- j
rectors were instructed to see that such changes j
be made in the articles of incorporation that'
tae officers can be elected anywhere. •

institutions for courtesies; regrets that the gov
ernor was not here; thanks to the railroads, the
newspapers and the speakers from abroad; satis
faction at the progress of tie dairy business in
Minnesota, and generally, thanks to all. The
president directed Sheriff Barton to bring in Mr.
H. N. Crossett, superintendent of the United
States Express company. The sheriff per
formed the duty and Mr. Crossett was placed
before the bar when Col. McGlincy
in a few well chosen words presented him with
a tub of choice butter from Mrs. A. P. McKins
ley. Mr. Crossett received it in his usual
blushing manner and expressed his thanks to
Mrs. McKinsley for her kindness.
TEE BANQUET.
The banquet at Union hall last evening was
quite an imposing affair. The hall is a very
large oiie, and was used for dancing, while other
rooms in the building were used for the ban
quet. So many were present that they were di
vided off into sections of 200 each and marched
down t > the basque t, while the remainder of the
throng remained in the hall. When the first sec
tion was seive.l the others followed in sections
of 200 t-ttch. Ail the while dancing was pro
gressing in the hall. It was a fitting
wlcdeup of on;; o the best meetings the associa
tion has ever had.
MOUNT Zioy CONGSSOATIOIT.
ittj.ort Upon the Fair Ke«eutly Held and
Other Matter*.
At a regular meeting of tho congregation
Mount Zion of this city, recently held the exec
utive committee on fair, presented their report
stating that they were unable to do bo at an ear
lier date owing to a difficulty in adjusting a
liquidation of tho mortgage on the Temple,
which had two years yet to run before matur
ing, and was held by an eastern insurance com
pany: the matter had, however, been finally ar
ranged, and the entire debt of $/,800 had been
paid, from the proceeds of tho fair, beside a
small sum being added to the treasury. This
announcement was very gratifying to the con
gregation, and a committee was appointed to
return the thanks of tho congregation to the
various donors and those who assisted in mak
ing the fair a success. This committee present
ed the following report:
Whereas, Our recent fair has been even, more
successful Than out fondest hopes could have
wished; and, whereas, this result has been ob
tained by the generous donations and liberality of
our fallow citizens of all creeds, by their pres
ence and interest during its progress; and by the
self-sacrificing efforts of our various com
mittees and attendants; therefore,
\ Resolved, That the thanks of this congregation
are hereby tendered to our fellow citizens and
the public generally, through whose kindness we
have achieved such signal success in freeing our
Temple from debt; and that we will ever grate
fully remember their fa vow, and deem it our
duty to reciprocate in like spirit whenever the
opportunity shall be presented.
Resolved, That to Mrs. J. Morganstine, and
also to the ladies of Moun Zion congregation, for
their united co-operation and continued labors,
that have so materially assisted in making this
fair a social as well as financial success, our
sincere thanks are hereby extended.
Resolved, That our able and efficient president
and chairman of the executive committee,' Mr.
8 Bergmann, who, by his skillful management
and untiring zeal, has baen instrumental in
bringing about the extinguishment of all in
debtedness upon our Temple, has merited the
gratitude and thanks of this congrrgation.
Resolved, That thanks be tendered to the va
rious committees, who zealously fulfilled the
duties to which they were assigned.
Resolved, That these resolutions be entered
upon the records of Mount Zion congregation,
and printed in the daily press.

A WALL FALL .
Three Workmen Injured by the Fall of a
.Partition Wall in the Drake Block Yes
terday,
Intense excitement was occasioned in the
vicinity of Third and Jackson streets about 2:80
o'clock yesterday afternoon, by the report that
one of the walls of the Drake building, recently
burned, had fallen and injured a number of
men. The rumor was correct to a certain ex
tent, the fact being that a portion, of one of the
partition walls caved in and hurt three laborers
at work in clearing away the debris in the base
ment. '•/.-,''-'.' *
The names of the injured parties
are Swan Oleson, Joseph r Lally and
John New. They were at work, as stated, when
the accident occurred, and they . had a narrow
escape from death. 'While at wors : the upper
portion of the wall gave way and fell upon them,
several tons of brick and mortar. falling in a
perfect shower. After tho accident they were
immediately rescued, only one of the men sus
taining injuries which may result fatally. ; This
was Swan Oleson, whose left lf»g was broken be
low tho knee, and it had to be : amputated by
Dr. Murphy, who wa3 callen to attend the men
Oleson, who also had his arm broken below
the elbow, was removed to his boarding
house No. 59 East Fourth street.
Lalry's right leg was broken below the knee,
j and New sustained a fracture of tho left leg. i
Tae two latter were Taken to St. Joseph's bos- 1
pital. Dr. Murphy said last .right that Oleson's
j condition was very critical and that he had
| doubts of his recovery.
Dr. Murphy, who was called to attend the in
j jured man, fouDd^Lally's leg so badly injured
i that amputation was deemed necessary, and the
' injured member was removed last evening. The
manY elbow was also found to be badly frac
tured, and the probability is that it will have to
be taken off. The chances of Lally's recovery
are none the best, though a vigorous constitution
il.&j pull him through.
Insurance in Minnesota.
- In 1873 the total amount of insurance risks
written in this state were $48,030,000, and from
the reports of the several companies now doing
business in|the State,which have just been calcu
lated by state insurance commissioner A. R. Mc-
Gill, the total risks taken in the State in 1888
foot up to the heavy figure of $187,484,408, a
gain of #189,484,408. '
The gain in the amount of risks over 1882 was
$89,700,000, of premiums received $500,000 and
in losses $788,900.
The average premium rate for 1883 was $1.31
per fltO, and the average ratio of loss 77 per
cent, which shows taat the companies as a whole
have made no alarming profits for the year in
this region.
The following is a summary of the business
transacted;
