ing a higher premium for her creamery butter in the eastern mar-
kets than any other state in the Union, and this of course means
more money in the pockets of the producer.

One of the factors which have been instrumental in placing
Minnesota where she stands today as a dairy state is the Dairy and
and Food Commission. This department was created by an act
of the state legislature in 1885, giving to it the execution of laws
enacted to protect the dairy industry, and to guard against the foes
of the butter interests, such as oleomargarine and the by-products
that have fraudulently assumed the name of butter. In the same
spirit, for the purpose of assisting in the creation of a state reputa-
tion for dairy products, Minnesota dairymen have been prohibited
from keeping cows in a manner, either as to stabling or feeding,
that would result in the production of unhealthful milk, and to
protect the creameries and cheese factories from using milk or
cream which has been contaminated by careless and i,norant
methods in handling the same in a way that would m.ke them
unclean, impure and unwholesome.

FARM SCENE IN MINNESOTA,

Under the laws which have been passed for this purpose, rigid
inspection of the herds of the state has been carried on by the
Dairy Commissioner and his deputies, and what was at first re-
garded as unlawful interference by them in the liberties of many
of the dairymen has resulted in their welcoming and carrying into
execution such reforms as have been for the best.

The present State Dairy Commissioner, W. W. P. McConnell,
has been conducting a series of mnthly scoring contests for the

past three years, and they have been of unestimable value to those

creameries and buttermakers who | them.

cents per pound would amount to $15,000,000. The total amoun .
of dairy butter made on the farms by hand churning during the Dairy Interests

year is estimated at 22,000,000 pounds, the value of which was
$3,300,000, making the total value of the butter product alone for
the year $18,300,000.

The total number of cows in Minnesota, according to the 1890
United States census, was 593,908 and the increase up to 1903 was
about 65 per cent, or a total now of 982,560. Of the 200,000
farmers in Minnesota 54,000, or 27 per cent, are patrons of cream-
eries. Of the 83 counties in the state only 11 on the northern
boundary are without creameries. Stearns County, with 32, has
the largest number, and the others average about 10 each,

While the other interests of the state have increased in won-
derful ratio, the dairy interest has kept well in the lead of all our
agricultural industries. The following statistics for the year 1903
indicate how the state has progressed:

Total number of creamery patrons ..............:eeeeeeseeee 54,000
Total number of cows supplying milk to creameries, 428,222

It must be borne in mind that only about half of our farmers
who keep cows are contributing milk or cream to Minnesota
creameries, However, with the continued harmonious and com-
bined efforts of the Dairy and Food Commission, the Dairy School,
the Farmers Institute, the dairy and farm press and the Minnesota
buttermakers for the education of the farmers to a knowledge of
the benefits to be derived from patronizing creameries, the pros-
pects for the future of the creamery industry are very promising.
The old cow must and will continue to grow in favor with the
agriculturists of the commonwealth.

Being the pioneer line through southern /linnesota, it was natural
that the very best creamery growth should follow the right-of-way of
the NORTH-WESTERN LINE, so we find the counties most thickly dotted
with creameries to be Brown, Blue Earth, Cottonwood, Dodge, Faribault,
Jackson, Le Sueur, Martin, Nicollet, Olmsted, Scott, Sibley, Steele, Wa-
tonwan, Waseca and Winona, ali traversed by the NORTH-WESTERN,
LINE and this fine of railroad hand'es fully one-fifth of all the dairy
products of the state that are shipped to outside points.

THE NORTH-WESTERN LINE traverses the states of Illinois, Wis-
consin, Minnesota, lowa, Michigan, North and South Dakota and Wyo-
ming, operating a total of 9,064 miles of first Class railway. For infor-
mation as to train service for thru’ travel and desirable locations for the
