OFFICIAL STATE CREAMERY AND CHEESE FACTORY DIRECTORY AND DAIRY MAP OF MINNESOTA. BERNDT ANDERSON, STATE DAIRY AND FOOD COMMISSIONER, ST. PAUL, MINN. DEC. 31, 1898. H.f. Cu I c>o ... PREFACE. In submitting this "Directory and Official State Dairy Map" I wish to state that extra care has been exercised in compiling the same, and while the correctness is not vouched for, as a whole and in detail, the best possible results have been attained from information at hand. Very respectfully, BERNDT ANDERSON, Commissioner, \7" State of Minnesota, Dairy and Food Department, St. Paul, Dee. 31, 1898. I beg leave to herewith transmit this publication, and in do- ing so I wish to say that I am of the opinon that it will fill a long- felt want, and serve to show the world that Minnesota is a lead- ing dairy state, and that the dairy products produced are a high and even grade as to quality, and are of a high commercial value to our state and to all large commercial buyers for the states or for export trade. Respectfully submitted, J. A. LAWRENCE, Assistant Dairy and Food Commissioner. OFFICIAL STATE DAIRY .MAP. I lierewitli submit the "Official State Dairy Map of Minnesota," showing all creameries and cheese factories that I was able to get a report of. A limited number of Minnesota creamerief* are not on the map, for the reason that reports were not sent to this office when applied for, all of which I regret. J. A. LAWRENCE, Assistant Dairv and Food Commissioner. MINNESOTA CREAMERIES. ALL. MODERN CREAMERIES EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST IMPROVED MACHINERY, PURE WATER, FINE GRASS AND HIGH GRADE DAIRY HERDS. Minnesota can justly feel proud of her large number of cream- eries, and the large increase in number in the past two years. The construction as to building and equipment of the same has been on the high progressive lines which go to make up a model cream- ery up to date. The sixth biennial report of this ollfice shows a total number of creameries as 445. At the close of this biennial period this shows a flattering increase of 219. I wish to call attention to the fact that Minnesota creameiy butter carried off the first premi- ums at the August, September, and the two October scorings at the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition at Omaha, Neb., 1898, Minnesota taking four first premiums out of five. This butter was scored by one of America's best commercial scorers, Hon. W. D. Collyer, Chicago, 111. More honors were received for Minnesota creamery butter product and its buttermakers at the National Creamery Buttermakers' Convention at Topeka, Kansas, 1898, at which Minnesota creamery butter won the first premium and gold medal. I beg leave to herewith submit the four official scorings of Min- nesota butter at the Trans-Mississippi and luternational Exposi- tion at Omaha, Neb., 1898, for the months of August, September, and two scorings in October: AUGUST CONTEST, OMAHA EXPOSITION.

This percentage held good in the August and September monthly scorings, and second October scorings, thus showing a high and even grade com- mercial product. Minnesota creamery butter received four first premiums out of the five scorings at the Trans-Mississippi and Inter- national Exposition held at Omaha, Neb., in 1898, MINNESOTA'S DAIBY S CHOOL, ST. ANTHONY PAEK. 11 INCREASE OF CREAMERIES AND CHEESE FACTORIES IN COUNTIES. While Freeborn and Steele counties are old in dairying, they may be considered as leading dairy counties of our state. A marked increase is noted in the past two years in the following counties : Carver 9 Le Sueur 9 Rice 7 Martin 9 Fai-ibault 9 Kandiyolii 7 The three leading dairy congressional districts show an in- crease: Fix'st district, nine counties 17 Second district, eleven counties 50 Third district, ten counties 55 The third district, being near to the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, together having a population of over 407,000, a large amount of milk is shipped from this district to supply the people of the Twin Cities. CHEESE FACTORIES. The number of cheese factories in Minnesota as per map will be found to be ninety.f A number of these factories are equipped for making both butter and cheese, or as the best markets for the product may afford. I wish to call the attention of the cheese purchasers, and con- sumers of the same, to the fact that Minnesota has only one single standard for cheese, which is forty-five per cent, fats to total solids, and is the highest single standard in the United States. This standard is made by law. Every cheese manufacturer is required to brand the cheese before spelling same as follows: STATE OF MINNESOTA. No FULL CREAM CHEESE. Minnesota cheese factories are all modern in building, and are equipped with the latest improved machinery, and receive the benefit in the product manufactured of Minnesota's pure water, fine grass and its high grade dairy herds. tEach factory has a separate registered number, which is registered in the oflBclal cheese record of this department. 13 ADDRESSING OFFICERS OF CREAjSIERIES OR CHEESE FACTORIES. In addressing officers of creameries or cheese factories from this directory, use the title of officer and name or location of cream- ery or cheese factory, giving postoffice address of creamery or cheese factory. Officers and managers are changing often, hence officers' or managers' names are not given in this publication. In many cases the butter or cheese maker is the manager. CITY CREASfERIES. It will be noted that a credit of creameries has been given to TVIinneapolis and St. Paul cities. Inspection shows that creameries given all churn by power. A large and increasing demand for fresh churned butter has come from consumers in large cities. The cream to a large extent is shipped in by rail, although some of the city creameries separate, while others skim, the cream from the milk left over from the day's sales. In many cases we find large dairies near cities delivering their whole product of milk produced to this class of creameries. 14 CREAMERY DIRECTORY, 1898. AITKIN COUWTY. Location. Postoffice.
