THE DAIRY INDUSTRY EPITOMIZED.

The National. Dairy Show, having arranged for a permanent home In which to forward the Dairy Industry In all of itß branches, and recognizing the cow as the foundation of all things Dairy, is undertaking to build an annual Exposition that will not alone prove to be a school for .the' farmer, but an advocate of thd highest type for the more general and varied use of the products of the Dairy. To do this successfully we must first have the attention and interest of the farmer and dairyman; next the support of the many Interests allied with and collateral branches of the industry. With this thought in mind, the management of the^ National Dairy Show desires to report progress made for the 1912 show to be held In Chicago, October 24 to November 2. We have assurances from the best breeders of the different breeds of cattle that they will be with Us, and for purposes of competition we have arranged a very complete classification, and by obtaining the very strongest talent for judges, who will be selected with the sole purpose in view of making a ribbon at this great National Show an article of supreme value, settling the question of show yard supremacy each year after the herds have done battle In the fairs and shows in their respective territories. We will make this show yard the mart for highest-type of selection add the place from where all matters of breeding and feeding will Jbe demonstrated as a guide to the old-timer and new beginner. Here is what we will have for you: Judges of National and International repute to pass upon the, cattle; a Government exhibit in charge of experts that will display breeds with record of test performance, the kind to own and the kind not to own; the test of feeds for results; the proper and Improper methods of handling the products and marketing of same; civic sanitary and hygienic requirements will be illustrated and explained by experts of National prominence. We have prepared a splendid premium list for Dairy Products which will bring out a strong lot of contestants with milk and cream exhibits for honors; butter and cheese makers will enter their products for supremacy and everything that can be developed for the benefit of the visitors in direct connection with the cow will be shown. The Borden Milk people, at an enormous expense, will give dally demonstrations of the pasteurizing, cooling, bottling and distributing of milk. They will erect In the show a plant equal in size to that used in a city branch. This must be helpful In allaying all agitation of the pure milk question for the city consumption. The Blue Valley Creamery will erect a plant in the show capable of making a ton of butter each day, showing the pasteurizing process and the cleanly, sanitary methods of a creamery. The Consumers Company will manufacture ice| cream In a glass machine In full view of the visitors, showing the thoroughly healthful and sanitary manufacture of this now extensively used condiment. Demonstrators /rom domestic science schools and colleges will give exhibitions and distribute recipes covering the more general use of milk as a food. The Universal Cement Company will erect an educational silo exhibit of large proportions, so that methods of preparation and care of ensilage, as well as the construction of silos, may be thoroughly discussed and understood. There will be exhibits from the many machinery houses, who will actively display and explain every new and modern device to their better understanding, and, in fact, the ten-day period of the show will have crowded Into It more of real value for the dairy industry than any other show ever before held for such a purpose. The man engaged in producing dairy products and the consumer will get immeasurable benefit by an attendance upon this entire detail working of all that pertains to dairying under one roof.
