KNOW MINNESOTA BUTTER. Judges at the merican Make No Mistnkes. “Minnesota's exhibit of creamery butter at the Pan-American exposition was the largest and probably the best made by any state,” said A. J. Taw of Freeborn county, superintendent of the Minnesota dairy department at the Pan-American. “Minnesota had forty-three tubs of butter entered in the October contest. New York, practically our only com- petitor, as we had distanced all other states, had about thirty tubs entered. In the matter of quality, too, Minne- sota butter has attained the first rank. Whenever a tub of Minnesota butter was brought out the judges could in- variably tell it by its solidity and fla- vor. |The tubs had no marks whatever on them to show where they were from, but the judges did not make a single mistake. Forty of the tubs exhibited secured honorary diplomas. “The reason for this wonderfully high quality of Minnesota butter is not hard to find. The buttermakers of the State, under the instruction of the agri- cultural school and the educational work carried on by the dairy and food department, have been able to produce butter without a flaw in its manufac- ture. Then, too, the climate of Minne- sota is favorable to the production of excellent milk and butter. There is plenty of pure water and clean foods. The natural resources of the state have much to do with our excellent showing. This has been a most favorable fall for making butter, and the scores have been wonderfully high. Scores of 96 : and 97 are unusual in the sweepstake sy | class, yet in October Minnesota had twenty-four tubs of butter scoring 96 and better. I am told that our October high score of 98 is the highest of the entire exposition. The contest between New York and Minnesota for sweep- akes is very close. By the system of guring in which major fractions, though less than one-quarter of 1 per cent, count as a quarter, may make New York a tie with Minnesota. “Minnesota's average of 95.75 for Oc- tober, I am told, although I have not seen the figures, is the highest of any state for any month. During the early part of the summer we were unfortu- nate, as the facilities for keeping the butter were poor. Our butter is nearly a week older than other states’ when it A arrives, and facilities for keeping it are necessary to make the best showing. Only four tubs last month scored lower than 94. Considering the distance we had to transport our butter, we have easily excelled every state in the Union.” The scoring of Minnesota creamery butter for October was: Name.and Postoffice.

The barber heaved a weary sigh as he lathered the face, which looked like an advertisement for somebody's com- plexion balm. Then he picked up a neck razor, whipped it over the strop once, and scraped the lather off with the back of the instrument. ve, a shave makes a man feel ejaculated the smooth-faced one, rubbing his hand gently over his skin. “That’s the fourth one o’ them things "growled the barber.—Denver Anxious Querist.
