Tin ough all the arguments for and against
It, the trades union stands for what ls fair
to the employer and the employe; its princi
ples permit it to ask only so much as It is
willing to give, au(J what it secures for its
adherents it generously shares with the .en
tire working people, says Paul J. Maas iv
the Times-Herald. Trades unions are becom-
Ing more conservative aud reasonable, more
and more conferences are held with employ
ers to prevent strikes and other disturbanc_s.
Tin- standard of wages is higher, whether f#r
organized or unorgauiztd labor, than in auy
other country ; thereby tlie unions accumulate
power, influence and respect each day.
Politically, the labor movement is independ
ent ol any partisan affiliation. and no party is
recognised as its particular champion. Meas
ures and men are preferred to party.
In religion the labor organizations are
neither sectarian nor dogmatic, but each man
is left free to follow out his own methods of
worshiping his Creator. .
« Educationally, the labor movement has con
tributed largely to the general enlightenment
of the people, and has been a most important
tactoi in having undersiaod the economic
aud moral laws. It has heiped to develop per
sonal character, which, in turn, has h*d its
beneficial influences in the home of the na
tion, giving to the American people the proud
est, most Intelligent aud God-fearing citizen
ship that is to be found ln the world.
Socially, the labor movement has been an
important factor in uniting in a common or
ganization the men and women of the different
trades; it has taught them that an injury
to one is the concern of all; it has taught
them that an honest day's work is worth an
honest day's pay, and it has shown them the
way to get It.
Fraternally, the labor unions exemplify in
their theories aud practices their firm belief
in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man. that broad plan of fraternity that
leads each man to regard the welfare of his
brother as sacredly as his own.

This Month Fergna Falla Plans
a Dairymen's Convention— Notes
of the Dairy.
J. K. Bennett, secretary of the State
Butter and Cheesemakers' association;
Robert Cricklnore, secretary of the
Minnesota State Dairymen's associa
tion, and James A. Harris, superinten
dent of the Minnesota exhibit, have
issued a Joint circular and sheet of in
structions in connection with the Min
nesota exhibit at the meeting of the
National Buttermakers' association in
Sioux Falls this month. It was deem
ed best that such matter should be
furnished the dairymen and farmers of
the state owing to the importance of
having a fine exhibit from this state
at the annual. The following extracts
from the matter are of special interest :
We feel that it is important that
every buttermaker in the state should
make an effort to hold Minnesota where
she rightfully belongs, and also add
new laurels to her fame as a dairy
state.
It seems to be Minnesota against the
field, and conditions at this season are
such that the fleld may win, but how
can we lose if the buttermakers of Min
nesota are alive to the importance of
this contest?
Only creamery buttermakers may
compete, and every person making an
exhibit must accompany it with a
guarantee that the butter was made
by himself or herself from one day's
run of milk or cream ln the factory
where made, and that the creamery
runs not less than six months in the
year and has not less than twenty pa
trons. Only one tub will be received for
competition from any one creamery.
Each package must be not less than
twenty pounds, which will be sold by
the association, and, after deducting $1
for annual dues and the express
charges, the balance will go to the as
sociation premium fund for the next
convention.
Butter must be sent by express from
station nearest the creamery direct to
the secretary national buttermakers'
convention, Sloux Falls, S. D., and ex
press receipt must accompany K>ntry
blank.
Exhibitors should express their but
ter as early as Jan. 13, so as to arrive
at Sioux Falls not later than Monday,
Jan. 16, as no butter will be accepted
after the evening of that date.

The Albert Lea creamery was visited
last week by R. A. Pearson, of the
agricultural department at Washing
ton, mention of whose work in pro
moting the dairy interests of this
country was made in this column last
week.
Mr. Pearson has assisted the agricul
tural department in the efforts it has
been making for many months past to
establish a market for American but
ter in the cities of England. Arrange
ments were entered into by the Unit
ed States government with the Albert
Lea and three other creameries in
lowa, Wisconsin and New York to fur
nish a 'certain amount of butter each
week for shipment to Europe. This
butter has been sold marked "product
ot the United States," and agents of
the government have followed it from
wholesaler to retailer, and from re
tailer to consumer, returning to Wash
ington a full report of progress made
In speaking of this experiment, Mr
Pearson stated that the results through
the summer and fall had been most
ercouraging. it was found that the
butter made in Denmark, while it is
pasteurized and consequently more
nearly pure, does not possess the body
or the rich flavor of our butter, so that
American butter compares very favor
ably with both the Danish and the
Swedish product. The reason why our
butter has not found a market before
in the English cities is largely attrib
utable to the fact that previous ship
ments by private parties had been of
a very inferior grade of American but
ter, which has .prejudiced the English
consumers against us. It is to protect
the producers of high grade butter
from the competition of an inferior ar
ticle that Secretary Wilson has recom
mended to congress, in his report a
law providing for Inspectors- at all
American ports to grade all dairy
products offered for shipment to for
eign countries. This policy is pursued
in Denmark, and the mark of the Dan
ish government is a guarantee to the
English purchasers of the quality of
the butter and cheese. Mr. Pearson
says that the price of butter in Lon
don after freight charges are deduct
ed is still from two to three cents in
advance of the New York market to
which our Minnesota butter now finds
its way, and hence the importance of
securing this English market to the
products of American dairies. Efforts
have also been made to introduce
American butter into France and other
European countries, but without suc
cess. Recently it has been found neces
sary to reduce the number of experi
ments in England because of a deficit
in the appropriations for that purpose
and the London market has been ter
n y^ bandol \ ed * U is a s °urce of
gratification to the patrons of the Al
bert Lea creamery and to Mr. Butter
maker White to receive an extension
?L l v. government contract to May
1599, when the contracts with all the
other creameries that were furnishing
butter to the government, except one
have been canceled.
• • •
The meeting of the Freeborn County
Dairy association Friday afternoon at
the court house was by far the best at
tended and most successful one held
since its organization. At least 100
representative dairymen and butter
makers from all over the country were
present, and the discussion of the
different points brought up was at all
times spirited and instructive.
President Lawson called the meeting
to order, and A. W. Trow immediately
brought up the matter of the coming
meeting of the National Buttermakers'
association at Sioux Falls, S. D. He
said that Minnesota had won 65 per
cent of the .prizes at the last conven
tion and had thereby incurred the bit
ter jealousy of a number of formerly
well-known dairy states, such as Illi
nois, lowa and Nebraska, whose dairy
men had sworn revenge, and that they
employed experts to go around among
their buttermakers to instruct them in
the art of making prize-winning but
ter. Our state dairy association, at
Its recent meeting at Austin, being
cognizant of this, had ln self-defense
proceeded to do likewise, and had em.
ployed James Harris, of Owatonna
who was present, to instruct the but
termakers and 'prepare Minnesota ex
hibits. Mr. Harris was called on and
responded briefly, stating his " work
was mostly with the buttermakers
and what he would say to them would
not be for publication. Full printed
Instructions would be sent to every
buttermaker, besides the personal
work that would be done among them.
He wanted tne co-operation of the
creamery managers and buttermakers
of Freeborri county, the banner dairy
county in the state, in his work, and
showed how much good meetings like
the Sioux Falls convention did the dai
ry interests.
There was an interesting discussion
regarding the making of reports by
creameries. Among those that read
papers and talked on the subject were
A. W. Trow, M. Halvorson, N. T. Ban
berg, Secretary Miller, of the Freeborn.
County association, and James Har
ris. No definite action waa taken, and
another meeting will be held Jan. 20,
when the matter will be taken up
again.
* • *
Word comes from Bt. Peter that it
is not improbable that there will be a
full-fledged creamery at Oshawa next
season. During sthe past year ther*
has only been a skimming station lo
cated there, with a creamery at Kerns,
and this has teeeh a matter of regret
among the farmers, and there has
been some talk lof consolidating the
Bkimml-ng stastdoi with the creamery
at Kerns. Ife ia proposed, however,
that. Instead of removing the skim
ming station, it be added to by the
purchase of fcutiermaking machinery,
and that a creamery be operated there
It Is estimate* that the additional ma
chinery and equipment would cost not
to exceed $1,500, 'and several have al
ready pladged themselves to tane
stock.
There are many argument's in favor
of this. The .location Is In the midst
of a fine dairy district; it is adjacent
to a railroad station with consequent
convenience and economy in ship
ment, and the present property is too
valuable to. abandon— the company
owning the land with a good well of
pure water.
During W. L. Chappell's visit to the
dairy convention at Austin he secured
promises from a number of the most
scientific dairymen of the state, head
ed by the dairy authorities of the agri
cultural college, to assist in holding
a dairy convention" in Fergus Falls
some time during the present winter.
The date that will probably be selected
will be late in January or early in Feb
ruary. The plan of such a convention
ih something like that of the farmers'
institutes which have always been so
popular when held in this neighbor
hood—namely, talks on various phases
of the dairy industry, by those best
qualified to handle each branch of the
subject, questions and answers, and
practical demonstrations of the best
dairy methods. Such a convention al
ways proves a stimulus and help to
everybody who attends, and its good
results are far reaching. When the
time comes everybody who has any
thing to do with dairying should make
it a point to attend.

The farmers living west of Jasper
have interested themselves in the
building of a creamery; and the ma
terial for the building is now being
hauled. Money for the erection of the
building -has been subscribed by
farmers of the neighborhood, while
the machinery will be purchased and
the creamery operated by Henry Mer
mann, of Dell-. Rapids. It is Mr Mer
mann s purpose to place an experienced
t'Ultermaker in in charge of the in
stitution and there is no reason why
the venture should not prove profit
able to all interested. The product of
about 400 eowa has already been prom
ised and this number will be largely
increased before the creamery is ready
to begin operations. The site of the
creamery is on the west bank of Pine"

SCHLEY UPSET.
Amusing Remark in a Theater Con.
vnlses Admiral and Audience.
"Even heroes get upset," says the Philadel
phia Press. "Admiral Schley, night belore
last, was the guest of a large part of Phila
delphia—of as much of it as could fill one of
its theaters. He sat ln a box with the hand
some and benignant Col. McClure, and every
movement he made was watched by ths
thousands ln the place. If he took a glass of
water they applauded. If he bowed to an
acquaintance they applauded. If he smiled
they applauded. In fact; the whole evening
was an Incessant ovation".
"But Schley's defeat came at the end of the
6econd act. He arose with usual grace and
started to the next box to call on friends
but he had not taken two steps before a deep
bass voice from the upper gallery rolled
forth: 'Let's all go out and take a beer'
placing tbe accent r»n the 'all.'
"The hero cailapsed. samk into a chair and
shook with la-ugliter, while the audience
Shrieked."
