Very Like a Fair.
It really looked like a fair yesterday. The
frizzly rain of the day before, which made
everybody so unhappy and was the cause of
so much profanity, ceased before midnight,
and the signal service indications of clearing
weather and higher barometer were for once
verified. Before noon the clouds were nearly
all gone, and the sun began his grateful
work of diving up the moisture, which was
so discomforting. By 11 o'clock the boats
ceased to run. ;it noon rubber boots were at
a discount, and by 2 o'clock pedestrians
could perambulate the grounds with ease
and comfort Secretary Judson, who had
pink considerably in stature, owing to the
weather, began to tower to his usual com
manding position above his fellowmen, and
his face wore his usual benignant smile.
Early in the day the management with
commendable swiftness i r*>t to work for the
comfort of the patrons and soon a gravel
walk was extended across the slough from
the depot to the Globe office, which is the
first center of attraction which attracts the
visitor i^s he alights from the train. Planks
wen- procured and convenient temporary
sidewalks were laid at various convenient
places.
In Hie buildings order reigned everywhere
where heretofore had been considerable
confusion. The main building eehibits,
HOW that they are done, are really very
creditable to the exhibitors. Several of them
have the appearance of haste and hurry,
but in the main they are tasteful, and fully
one-halt are of great merit Exhibitors
should learn after several hundred years
experience In fairs that the most elaborate
display at a fair is the best, in fact the
only one well-worth the. making. The dis
play that draws the crowd is the one that
makes customers.
THE MINNESOTA PEICE
at the middle of the building is a tiling of
great beauty now that it is done. The
ornamental scroll-work on the sides of the
terraces is very artistically done, and one
finds little cause Cor wonder that the Min
nesota exhibit should have so captivated
tiie people at New Orleans last winter.
One corner of this scroll-work is shown iv
The ornamentation is all composed of
the products of the soil, such as stacks of
wheat and other grain, while the small
figures are made of sections of ears of
corn, etc.
Speaking still of the main building, it is
a deplorable fact that it is too small. Many
of the exhibitors would have gladly taken
more space and used it to advantage, too,
if they could have had it. Next season the
management will undoubtedly find a way
to remedy tills defect, either by building an
annex or by extending the wings.
A number of exhibitors have found away
to make their displays attractive by having
ladies attend them. It really adds much to
the drawing power of a sewing machine,
churn, piano, or even a steam engine or
threshing machine, to have it run by a
lady; and the nicer looking the lady the
more attractive the exhibit. The crowds
which gathered to watch the construction
of the Minnesota centerpiece were drawn
aot more by the beauty of the thing itself
than by the deftness with which the lady
twined the grasses together.
Not only the grounds and exhibits looked
like a fair yesterday, but also did the peo
ple. Every train that went from each city
was fairly loaded with people, and by o
o'clock in the afternoon fully 5.000 people
had passed the .turnstiles. The encamp
ment looked quite populous, although in
this immense enclosure and with the build
ings so far apart this number of people,
Which would make a crowd in an ordinary
sized enclosure, only looked like a handful.
It would take 30,000 to make a throng on
these grounds. It was the first real day of
the fair and a successful one, and inasmuch
ns but few of the visitors expected to see
horse-racing, yesterday's attendance shows
what an attraction the fair itself is.
Among the different exhibits great pleas
ure was manifested at the interest which
the people took in the fair. No depart
ment was neglected. People's curiosity
was evidently aroused by the stories of the
wonderful stock exhibited in the barns and
there was a constant stream of visitors in
the barns all day long admiring the massive
Devons, the deer-like Jerseys, the unique
Angus cattle, the imperial stallions and the
beautiful mares. Stock-breeders who had
animals on exhibition were much delighted
with the crowd, and many of them suc
ceeded in making good trades before the
day was gone.
did a rushing business, especially the latter,
not a few were those who came to the
grounds with immaculate boots, who found
to their sorrow that the sidewalks which
looked so fimr, were in reality very elastic,
and that a quick step upon any of them
would send up a spurt of muddy water

which never failed to remove the last ves

THE BBGGABB.
There was one fortuuate thing connected
with the rain of Tuesday, and that was
that with all other people it discouraged all
the different kinds of beggars whose attend
ance at fairs seems to be a necessaiy nui
sance. Whether or not licensed by the man
agement of the enterprise they are at the
fair now. One of them is an old citizen
who plays an accordeon. lie makes a hid
eous noise with it too, and as his position
is near the dime museum, the com
bination of his noise and that of
the band are perfectly appalling. Another
man is blind and he piays a fiddle. lie is
particularly exasperating from the fact that
he sits within about 101) feet from the band
stand, and it adds excitement, but not
pleasure, to have a squeaky Arkausaw

I-o, tlie Poor Lacrosse.
Although the lacrosse game between In
dians was announced to commence at 10
o'clock in the morning, it was after 11
before the quarter bloods in gorgeous rai
ment made their appearance on the plaza.
and it was an hour later before they had
gyroted around the grounds and in alleged
guttoral voices howled "How! How!" suf
liciently to warrant an approach to the
amphitheater, where a large crowd had
congregated, and it was half an hour later
before the ticket sellers got limbered up
for action, and to this delay docs some
500 people now feel thankful, for
there were about that number
around the ticket office madly
clamoring for tickets while their blood was
wildly coursing through their veins after
following the red men about the grounds,
but suddenly the clarion voice of the 13!it^
dime museum man broke upon the ambi
ent, and then the Indians played to empty
benches, barring a small boy who was hired I
by a disappointed gatekeeper for an audi-1
ence. However, tiie Indians had an j
hilarious time of it and enjoyed themselves,
as they became so absorbed in the game us '
to forget the empty benches, for alas, poor

OUR CI/TETOCKXAMEXT.
Shortly after 11 o'clock a desultory firing
on the high ground in the northeast corner
of the enclosure attracted ti.e attention of
the lovers of burning powder, and soon
quite a crowd was in attendance upon the
opening shoot as prepared by the St. Paul

was done, and as there was no counter at
traction, the sport was witnessed by a good
many people. A shortage In the supply of
Peoria blackbirds compelled the club to" be

By this time the desultory firing of the

purposes and another sweepstake was shot
with but a few entries. To-day, the
second day of the tournament, has some

competition is expected.
Tlie Races.
The track was in such poor condition
yesterday, owing to the rain of the day be
fore, that it was decided best not to start
any of the advertised races. This was a
disappointment to all, but it couldn't be
helped, as even if horses had been called
late in the afternoon the track, still soft,
would have been so cut up as to have made
it worthless for the remainder of the week.
There remain now twenty-one races to be
put through before Saturday night, as the
management thinks there is no necessity of
prolonging the fair into another week. It
will take some rather short work to get
through with nine races a day. The fair is
fortunate in having Col. W. H. Wilson of
Kentucky as starter, who v.-i do as much
as any man can to save even' minute of
time. His record, as a prompt starter and an
efficient discourager of scoring made on
Monday give good hope that the races will
be put through with promptness and dis
patch.
In making up the races for to-day, Col.
Wilson had considerable trouble, but r as it is
Minneapolis day, fixed it to suit the" Minne
apolis brethren. The following is the pro
gram:

THE POOLS.
Pools were sold on the races last night at
the Merchants hotel. Of course Prince Ar
thur was still a hot favorite in the 2:25
race, selling at SlO, -with the field at S5.
In the k2:is race, Genr Sibiey sold *5, Belle
Bander, Dr. Smith. SI; King of the West,
81; Branzewood, SI; lield. 31. There was
not a great deal of interest manifested in
the selling, and nothing was done in the
other races.
TRACK TALK. *
The track was in very bad condition yes
terday and but little exercising was done on
it, tire drivers being cautioned to use only a
narrow path next the pole. The sun dried
up the moisture on the sursace, but left a
half inch or so of wet mud underneath.
Several horse men, among them John C.
Oswald, were in favor of scratching up the
track with a harrow so as to expose the
mud under the crust to the suu
and air, but Mr. Parker consid
ered that it would be better to let the
track dry untouched. As a result it is
thought the track will be in very fair con
dition to-day, and in splendid shape to-mor-
! row. It is hoped by the backers of Prince
| Arthur that the track will bo a good one
i to-day, as he has the reputation of being a
i very poor mud wader, although very fleet
lon a fast track. Mr. Wilson gave it as his
i opinion that on Friday the track would be
j as fast as any in the county, much better
i than if it hadn't rained.
ITlinnea.!»olis Day.
Yesterday was the day originally set
apart for the Minneapolis day at the fair,
I but the poor weather of the preceding day j
! made it necessary to postpone it until to- i
j day, when it is expected, with good weather,
; that pretty much everybody in Minneapolis
; that can get away for a day will come. The
I banks will close at noon, business will be
j suspended in.every department ofj trade,
. and the prospects are that a big crowd of
j Minneapolitans will attend.
St. Paul Day.
But just wait until to-morrow, St. Paul's
day. . A magnificent program has been pre
| pared, and with the attractions (all the
special ones being furnished by St. Paul !
herself), it will be the great day of the fair. }
The sport will begin in the morning with
an exhibition game of lacrosse by the St.
Paul clubs, the teams being as follows:
L. I. Martin, H. Warwick, A. Giberton, J,
Stark. A. D. Warner, J. Mann, W. McKobio,
J. Sinclair, J. Konney. E. Murphy, K. Mai
tin, Capt. D. McDonald, '
Gco. Warwick, C. Sherwood, W. Orr, B.
Mahouoy, E. A. Divine, A. Starkc, Doc.
Wtaiteomb, F.Peters, B. Shea, J. Kent, P.
P. Coghlan, J. Shea.
At noon the battery of light artillery rom
Fort Snelling will give one of its lightning
drills on the field south of the main build
ing. Following will be a drill by the famous
Company Dof the First regiment, which |
stands second to no company in the coun
try in proficiency in the school of the com
pany. At 1 o'clock will take place the for
mal presentation of the permanent fair
grounds to the state by the commissioners of
Ramsey county. The presentation speech
will be made by Mayor Rice, president of
the county board, and the response in be
half of the staie by Gov. Hubbard, who
will then formally turn over the grounds to
Hon. M. P. Clarke, president of the agri
cultural society. This ceremony will take
place at the south end of the main building.
Then will come the races, big ones, the
Minnesota derby, the 2:20 class, with
Maggie G. Middleton, Butterscotch Will
Callendar, A. V. Pantling, Prince Arthur,
Boston Davis and Bonnie McGregor. The
j other races that follow will be the 2:28 and
the 2:30 and ending with the great race of
the fair, the free-for-all pace for a purse of
000, the entries in which are all famous
horsesßegardless, Hormerly, Ben Ham
ilton, Westinont, Minnie R. and
Mike Wilkes. A great special trial will
then be made by Fannie Witherspoon,
Commodore Kittson's famous mare, "who
will endeavor to break the two-mile trotting
record. The racing will conclude with a
novelty of a running race between two
horses in the sulky, the competitors being
Ollie, Becker, Firebrand and Blackbird.
The day will close in St. Paul with a
grand pyrotechnic display in the evening.
What Northern Minnesota. Can Do.
One of the best examples of the superior
ity of Minnesota soil and climate will be
found in the herd of Shorthorn cattle bred
and raised by Thomas H. Canfield at Lake
Park, on the lire of the Northern Pacific
railroad, 240 miles northwest of St. Paul in
latitude 47 north, one degree north af Quo
bee, Canada; what was called Nova Zembla
in early days of Northern Pacific at Wash
ington. Mr. Canfield, who was one of the
original directors and early promoters of this
railroad, selected some land at Lake Park
which he has converted into a sort of ex
perimental farm to show what varieties of
grain, vegetables, cattle and horses can be
raised. While he grows the best Saskatch
awan wheat he is breeding Percheron
horses as well as Shorthorn cattle. Some
thirty head of the latter he has sent to the
fair. These cattle have been bred and
raised on the native hay and grass of the
country, without being fed any meal or
grain of any kind. During the winter they
have run out to stacks of straw in the day
time, and at night have been put in sheds
made of poles and covered with straw in the
primitive style. They were never inside of
a frame barn nor under a shingle roof, and
only receive such ordinary care and atten
tion as the limited accomodations of pioneer
settlers would permit. These cattle were
taken from the pasture, where they have
been since spring, to the cars to come here,
and are very fat, the cows weighing from
1,000 to I.SOO pounds. This experiment of
eight years shows that these families of
Shorthorns have strength and hearty con
stitutions, and are well adapted to the
grasses ami cold climate of the .Northwest,
and that Northwestern Minnesota can pro
duce No. 1 stock as well as No. 1 hard
wheat without the. top-grass of Illinois
or the lowa corn.
Horsemen all Agree
That the exhibit of the Cosgrove Live
Stock company of horses and Hereford
cattle is among the finest at the state fair.
This company are well-known breeders of
driving horses and Hereford cattle at Le
Sueur, where they have a fine barn and the
best of stock facilities but three minutes'
walk from the depot. At the fair they
have an exhibit of twenty head of Here
ford cattle and among their driving horses
twelve head of high bred trotters that are
attracting much attention. Among their
j fine horses is Eyehim, a handsome bay. 16K
! hands high, foaled June 31. He is
sired by Bashaw Drury, first dam
Elsie D, by Wilson's " Blue Bull,
sire of Will Cody, 2:20#; Chance, 2:203^,
and some forty others in the 2:30 list.
Second dam Garret, by Williamson's Bel
mont; third dam Fannie, by Sir Archy. etc.
Elsie D is among the finest of the mares.
She is by Wilson's Blue Bull (sire of
more 2:30 horses than any other stallion
living or dead) first dam Garret, by Wil

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE.
What Minnesota Pluck and Energy
lias Accomplished. -
The history of the Northwestern Car
company is the history of Northwestern en
terprise and success. Within a very few
years this company has pushed itself by en
ergy and business tact to the very front,
until now not only are its machines the
favorites upon the Northwestern market,
but the old established houses of the East
find in this young and stalwart outgrowth
of Minnesota enterprise a powerful rival in
the territory, they formerly monopolized.
With unequaled facilities for obtaining the
finest quality of lumber and material for
their machines, the Northwestern Car com
pany is able to produce machines that suc
cessfully compete with the make of any other
manufacturers, no matter where located,
that have obtained a reputation and a
place in the opinions of farmers throughout
the country that no other machine can hope
to surpass. Since the company's temporary
embarrassment, some eighteen months
since, when its affairs passed into the hands
of Mr. E. S. Brown, the gentleman • desig
nated as receiver of this vast concern, its pro
gress and success has been unprecedented.
Mr. Brown brought to his now position
energy, business tact and genuine North
western push and enterprise, tempered by
prudence and sagacity. He gathered
around him a corps of assistants and subor
dinates imbued with his spirit. With such
management and under the most favorable
conditions the company must perforce prove
successful. And successful it has been be
yond all precedent. Mr. Brown has pushed
the Minnesota Chief in every section
of the country until the rebuilt and enlarged
shops and improved machinery is
hardly able to support the demands of the
trade.
THE TRUE TEST OF MERIT.
The success of any machine depends
upon its practical working when submitted
to a genuine test. To such a test has the
Minnesota Chief been submitted for sev
eral seasons past and from that test it has
always emerged with even brighter laurels
than before. Hardly a county in 'the
Northwest or a state in the Union but has
carefully examined its working and always
to agree with previous witnesses in accord
ing just praise. At the state fair Mr.
Brown has erected a very tasteful building
to exhibit the- Minnesota Chief. The build
ing is the first one to the right from the
Snelling avenue entrance to the fair
ground, and is naturally a favorite resort
for farmers and all interested in agricul
ture. Hero is exhibited a Minnesota
Chief separator, thirty-six inch cylinder,
with fifty-two inch rear. It is finished
in natural light woods, varnished and taste
fully striped. It is by all odds the finest
machine on exhibition at the fair and is a
perfect beauty in every respect. There is
also a twelve-horse power traction self
steering giant straw-burner engine, finished
in bright work. A Chief lumber wagon is
among the other exhibits. The Minnesota
Chief separator is so well known and has
acquired so excellent a reputation that to
comment upon it seems superfluous. The
Chief is the only separator which uses the
correct principle for separating the grain
from the straw. Many have tried to imi
tate the movement of its separating table,
but have ignominiously failed. No separator
will thresh grain faster, clean it cleaner or
waste less than the Chief. The traction
engine which is exhibited in connection
with the Chief, has many points of superi
ority over any other in the market. Chief
to be noticed is the friction attachment,
which can be applied while the engine is at
rest or in motion, and permits the pulling
of a much greater load, which may be
started irom the dead, than any -spur
gear engine. But it is unnecessary to di
late upon the merits of the Chief and this
engine. They are on exhibition at the fair,
and a corps of competent attendants are at
hand to explain all points to the interested.

Butter-making, as carried on by cream
erymen, has become a profession, requir
ing a good deal of skill and a great deal of
good common sense properly applied, as
well as firmness and decision of character.
When these elements are lacking the result
is a poor lot of butter and a lowering of the
reputation of the maker. Under the gath
ered-cream system the owner of the cream
ery and the buttermaker each have a greater
responsibility than they do under the
whole-milk system. In the latter case, the
milk being delivered at the creamery, the
buttermaker can control the temperature of
it uniformly and can skim it all at onetime,
and thus have the cream ripen uniformly;
whereas under the gathered-cream system
there may be as many temperatures for the
milk and cream as there are patrons, thus
requiring extra skill and watchfulness on
the part of the buttermaker. After the
milk or cream comes into the hands of the
buttermaker then his responsibility begins,
and he should always bear in mind that
eternal vigilance is the price of his reputa
tion as a gilt-edge buttermaker. In some
sections owners of factories or creameries
hold their butter or cheese-makers respon
sible for the quality of the product to the
extent of their wages, and in some cases
they even require them to give a bond, so
that if the product is not up to
THE MABKET STANDARD
and the fault be the cheese or butter-mak
ers, they may recover the difference be
tween the selling price of the article and
what it would have sold for had it been
fine. All understand the nature of milk,
and need not be told that it has countless
enemies which aid in its destruction the
moment it is drawn from the cow; and so
with the cream. When the milk is drawn
from the cow it should be cooled as speedily
as possible to at least 50 °; the more rapidly
the milk is cooled, the quicker the cream
will rise. Some persons place ice cold
water in the milk immediately after it is
strained in order to hurry the "separation of
the cream from the milk. When the cream
has ripened, that is when the lactic acid has
been developed, it is ready for the churn.
While the cream is ripening it should be
frequently stirred, and kept at a tempera
ture of 60 ° ; it will warm at least two de
grees soon after the churn has been
started. When the chum is first started it
should be given a slow motion and gradu
ally increased until the proper motion is
attained: 40 to 60 minutes will be sufficient
time in which to churn. There are some
churns that will "bring" the butter in less
time, but the butter often proves to be in
jured in grain. When the butter has
formed in the granular state, stop the churn
and draw off the buttermilk; then wash
■with cold water and brine until the latter
runs clear from the churn
ONLY SLIGHTLY COLORED.
This operation will remove the buttermilk,
and hence will require but little working,
which invariably injures the grain and
causes the butter to soon lose that fiae aro
matic flavor which makes it so palatable.
We can all remember how our grand
mothers, with butterbowl and paddle, would
sit for an hour or more and press the butter
against the sides of the bowl iv order to ex
tract the buttermilk; and we can also re
member that unless a large quantity of salt
was added to that butter it had little of the
genuine butter flavor in it; in place of the
ilavor we got the salt. After subjecting
the butter to the brine wash, remove to the
table or butter-worker and let the water
drain out; when dry and crumbly, weigh
the butter and add the salt, one ounce to
the pound. If worked on a butter-worker
sift a little salt on the table, then work
lightly. With some creamerymen butter
is worked twice in, that case, after the first
working set away from four to twenty-four
hours, then rework very lightly when it
will be ready for packing. The usual pack
age is an oak tub holding about sixty
pounds, (Boston market prefers a spruce
tub); soak the lub well in a good strong
brine before using; rub fine salt on the bot
tom and sides; pack the butter firmly with
a stamper; level the top with a straight
edge, but do not fill too full; have a quar
ter or haif-inch space so that the oover will
not press down on the butter; cut a piece
of new, clean cloth and fit it nicely over the
butter; dampen some salt so as to make a
paste and spread over the cloth, then put
on cover and fasten with strips of tin. If
you have exercised
CARE AND JUDGMENT,
you have butter that will sell at the top
notch in any market. Of late years people,
especially in the larger cities, have been
educated to use butter that has been col
ored, and as the coloring matter now used
is absolutely harmless, we see no objection
to its use, but, on the contrary, we believe
that butter-makers should strive to meet
the wants of their customers, regardless of
what their own notions may be. No gen
eral rule can be laid down for coloring
butter, for the reason that markets differ
in this matter quite materially. For in
stance, in Boston they want a pale straw
color; New York and Philadelphia require
a little deeper color; Baltimore and Wash
ington want a full straw color, while in
New Orleans and St. Louis almost a brick
red is best adapted to the tastes of consum
ers. Butter color is made by chemists, wno
give directions for its use, as well as tne

Some one lias published the following
general rules for dairying, and in the main
it may be found well to follow them: De- •
cide your line of dairying—butter or cheese,
or both. Select your cows according to the
line of dairying chosen. Test each cow
separately and reject all not suited to your
line of dairying, or that fail in quantity or
QUALITY OF MILK.
Feed liberally, have pure water always
accessible, and keep a mixture of equal
parts of salt, ashes and sulphur wiithhi
reach of the cows. Be sure your stables
are well ventilated; remove all droppings
promptly; freely use absorbents and deodor
izers, such as sawdust, dry earth or cub
straw, not omitting a liberal use of plaster.
Be scrupulously clean iii every particular,
both in keeping the cows and in milking
and handling the milk. By all means avoid
exposure of the milk to the hot sun and to
foul air. Air and cool your milk as fast as
possible down to at least 70 degrees, if you
cany it any distance to a factory or cream
ery. Do the same if you make it into
cheese at home, though you need not go be
low 80 degrees if made up immediately.
When milk is kept over night to be carried
to a factory, the temperature should be re
duced below 60 degrees. The same author
adds the following rules to be observed in
butter-making: If the milk is set at home
for creamery, the sooner it can be set after
milking and the higher the temperature the
better, as cream rises fast and almost
wholly while the temperature is falling.
Never reduce the temperature below forty
degrees, as a lower temperature has a ten
dency to chill the product and injure its
keeping quality, and it also expands the
water, rendering its relatively greater dens
ity less, instead of increasing it. To go 5
degrees below 40 degrees would have prac
tically
THE SAMK EFFECT
as raising the temperature 5 °, and to that
extent retard the raising of the cream.
Skim as soon as the cream is all up, or so
much of it as you wish to take from the
milk. Keep your cream, if not churned
immediately, at a temperature of 54 ° or
below, but not below 40 =>. Churn at such
temperature between 55 ° and 64 °, as ex
perience shows you is best. Conditions
vary the temperature for churning. Stop
the churn when the butter is in granules
about the size of wheat kernels, Draw off
the butter milk and wash in clean water,
before gathering the butter, until the water
runs clear. If one washing is in brine, il
is all the better, as brine coagulates the
cheesy matter, which dissolves, and is then
washed out. Salt to suit customers, using
none but refined salt made for dairy pur
poses. The best American salt is as good
as any. Put up in such packages as are
demanded by your market.
Regarding cleanliness, a very important
feature in dairying, the writer above quoted
from says: "It is not possible to be too
particular about cleanliness. But cleanli
ness, Gov. Seymour says, is a comparative
term, and what is clean to one may be dirty
to another. Carefully brush the cow's ud
der—if it is befouled, wash it—before milk
ing. Keep all hairs and loose dirt out of
the milk, that no tilth may be dissolved in
it. No strainer can take out what is dis
solven. Use a fine soft strainer, besides
the wire strainer. Keep your milk away
from all foul or
DISAGBEEABLE ODORS,
as the fats rapidly absorb all odors, and im
part them to the product.
Wash in tepid water every dish, imple
ment or utensil that comes in contact with
milk or its products, then scald in boiling
water or steam, after which rinse in cold
water and expose them to pure air (and sun
shine if possible) until needed for use.
The Globe is pleased to know that Min
nesota dairymen have made their reputa
tion for butter making on true merit alone,
and hopes that their aim will always be
for quality rather than quantity. The
struggle has been long and hard, but the
victory has been fairly won and must be
maintained. It can be done, and Minne
sotians were never known to faii in a good
cause.
A neat, clean, tidy package will often
sell the butter. A good many customers
buy by sight rather than by taste. What is
worth doing at all is worth doing well, and
'that is as true of dairying as it is of any
thing else. Good pure water and good
wholesome feed make the keystone of the
arch in dairying.
feed a cow
all she will eat and digest, and no more.
Beyond that is waste. Boards are cheaper
than feed, therefore properly house your
cows in severe weather. Gentleness with
cows forms a large size corner stone in the
dairy structure. A Wisconsin farmer says
he speaks to a cow as he would to a lady;
and he says it was always reciprocated by
a large mess of milk night and morning.
Gentleness pays always. Try it and see.
Sweet corn fodder makes good feed for
cows when the pastures begin to fail. Sow
in drills or broadcast and cut twenty-four
hours before feeding. It can be success
fully grown here, as it is only the fodder
that is wanted, it is generally used up be
fore frost comes. Illinois and lowa dairy
men use it extensively.
When a cow begins to fail in milk, by
reason of short pasture about the latter
part of July or Ist of August, it is policy
to feed a iittle extra ration of grain or meal,
for if she gets the start it will be difficult
to bring her back again to her former stand
ard. There is not much nutriment in bran,
but the Illinois dairy fanners feed large
quantities of it annually, and they buy in,
Minnesota. Last year, within a radius of
six or eight miles of Elgin, nearly 3,000 car
loads of bran were fed to the cows. It is a
good laxative, keeps the animal in good con
dition, aids digestion and is quite handy to
have in the bin. Give cows
EXTRA ATTENTION"
when near calving; feed lightly; give dry
hay, with a small ration of bran or meal, or
oats and corn mixed; water regularly. New
Orleans will have another exposition the
coming winter, and Minnesota dairymen are
asked to make exhibits. One exhibitor who
was awarded §125 on butter, says, "pay up
before you ask me to send butter there
again." Another says what Is to be gained
by making an exhibit? Our state received
the highest premium that could be awarded
last winter. There are no new honors for us.
Guess we better stay home and let "well
enough alone, for awhile at least.
W. D. Hoard, president of the North
western Dairymen's association, was a caller
at the Globe office yesterday. He was well
pleased with the dairy exhibit.
The dairymen are frequent callers at the
Globe offie. All are welcome, and are in
vited to call often.
Dairy Commissioner W. 0. Rice was a
caller at the Globe office yesterday.
Samuel B. Davis of Chicago, one of the

BOGUS BUTTER.
While Commissioner Rice was in the
Globe office, the reporter conceived the
idea that he would be a good jsubject for an
interview and consequently we went to
work upon him.
Mr. Rice, how do you find the law rs
garding bogus butter in the state, will it be
enforced?
Yes, sir; the law went into effect in
April, and but little bogus butter is offered
in summer; the people generally feel dis
posed to comply with the law, there was
some adulterated cheese sold in the state,
but it was not made in the state.
What is your opinion of the law?
Public sentiment is largely in favor of it,
and we will enforce it No bogus butter la
made in the state. We have two cases in tha
Hennepin district court, which we hope to
reach this term; the parties have been bound
over.
What is the outlook for dairying?
Good; there is a general increase in dai
rying,
ALL ALONG THE LTNE;
dairy stock is in a very healthy condition;

ness in the state this year among dairy cat
