the former cheese centers going intoother channels where better returnscan be had.

The outlook is encouraging in theextreme; the local demand is becominggreater and markets are opening inAlaska and the Orient for all finisheddairy products from this state. At thepresent rate of development it will bebut a very few years until Washing-ton will be one of the greatest pro-

ducers of dairy products of any sectionin the country.

DAIRYMEN ORGANIZE.A large number of Puget Sound

dairymen organized at a meeting at Au-burn, with the following officers:President, A. E. Smith, Orillia; secre-tary, A. Christopher, Christopher;treasurer, W. J. Lunn, Auburn. It wasdecided to oi'ganize a Dairymen's Pro-tective Association of Washing-

ton. Among the recommendationsadopted were these:

"We desire to aid in every way theproduction of pure milk, and we favorstrict and sanitary regulations, but wedemand that the officers who enforcethese regulations be practical men andnot college theorists alone. We are op-posed to placing in th-e hands of a sin-gle man the power to destroy proper-ty of others, as does the law as nowframed. Power so lodged is a prolificsource of graft.

"The enactment of laws relative totuberculosis in cattle in other states,

when the laws have been based ontheories, has resulted in the destruc-tion of healthy herds and the loss ofthousands of dollars. The present lawprescribes one grade of milk for citiesof the first class and another gradefor the rest of the people. It shouldbe made uniform. It requires dairy-men, under penal provisions, to makeout reports and keep accounts of theirbusiness. This is not required in anyother line of business.

"The power to condemn cows or pre-vent the sale of milk should not be ex-ercised until after a hearing by adisinterested board. No officer shouldbe allowed to impose burdensome andunreasonable regulations, such, for in-stance, as that the milker should beclothed in white duck and cows shouldbe curried before milking. It shouldbe remembered that such regulationsincrease the cost and places a neces-sary article beyond the reach of thepoor. It also tends to monopolize theindustry."

A committee was appointed to drafta constitution and by-laws for the pro-posed association, and it was decidedto hold the semi-annual meeting inDecember.

There is no doubt that much benefitwill accrue to the dairymen by form-ing such local organizations, and com-bining effort in a strong state organiza-tion. Much harm can be done the in-dustry by misguided work of imprac-tical men, while much good can comefrom aiding and promoting well direct-ed reforms in producing, and also inhandling milk between producer andconsumer.

COMING DAIRY SHOW.The Third Annual Dairy Show will

be held at Chicago and in the Coli-seum, Dec. 2 to 10 inclusive.

It is desired to make this DairyShow a strong representative of alldairy interests, to bring together dairy-

men, butter and cheese makers, farm-ers and manufacturers of dairy prod-ucts from all parts of the country, foreducational purposes; also to presentat this gathering the best and mostup-to-date makes of dairy machinery,and to show choice herds of cattle rep-resenting all the different dairybreeds; in fact, it is desired to make

the occasion the big event of the yearfor dairying, and to so exhibit the dif-ferent branches of the dairy industrythat the people of the country will real-ize the importance and magnitude ofthis great industry.

The purpose is to make this exhibi-tion of cattle and machinery some-thing more than a show. It is the pur-pose to make it a strong educationalaffair, where questions of Nationalimport may be discussed and plansmade for a greater development of alldairy interests. The first two showswere successes, and it is the desireto make the coming one better, biggerand more instructive.

All communications should be ad-dressed to the National Dairy ShowAssociation, 154 Washington St., Room307, Chicago, 111.

CONDENSED MILK STANDARDS.During the past few months, Prof.

O. F. Hunziker, of the Dairy Depart-ment of the Purdue School of Agricul-ture has been investigating the nation-al and state standards of condensedmilk. As a result of his study of thesubject, he finds the present standardsare not practical, as no milkcondensary can, under all condi-tions and at all seasons of the year,put into its product the per cent ofsolids called for in the requirementsfor unsweetened condensed milk.

These findings are the outcome ofProf. Hunziker's professional and busi-ness experiences, and therefore havegreat weight. Reports from every rep-utable milk condensing company in thecountry have been thoroughly exam-ined and careful experiments carriedon by Professor Hunziker in Indianaat the plant of the Condensed MilkCompany of Sheridan before any an-nouncement as to this unsatisfactorystandard was made.

The question of revising the presentstandard for condensed milk was tak-en up by the committee on food stand-ards of the National Association ofDairy Instructors and Investigators, atits meeting at Mackinac Island, Mich.,Aug. 4-7, and it is hoped that everyeffort will be put forth, through theproper channels, to induce the govern-ment to modify the standard now inuse. This standard calls for not lessthan 28 per cent of milk solids ofwhich not less than 27.5 per cent mustbe fat. There is no doubt but that amore specific attainable requirementthan this will be welcomed by bothproducer and consumer. Pacific Coastmilk producers are especially interest-ed in this question, and a governmentexpert has given it a thorough inves-tigation.

CANADIAN DAIRY INDUSTRY.Dominion Dairy Commissioner J. A.

Ruddick recently discussed the prog-ress made by the dairying industryof the Dominion and the theory thatbecause there has been a shrinkagein the exports of the dairy produce toGreat Britain the industry has notbeen making headway. The largely in-creased local consumption he said isin the main responsible for the reduc-tion in the exports. He gave figuresto show that between 1900 and 1907me value of cheese, butter, milk andcondensed milk produced in Canadagrew from $29,200,000 to $35,450,000,Including the dairy butter and all oth-er products of the industry its annualvalue to the country is about $94,000,---000. Ten years ago he said no con-densed milk was produced in Canadaand at the present time there are sev-eral factories which have an outputof nearly $1,000,000 annually.
