tice for those who are working so hard to make a living against the men 

 who are putting out a fraudulent article to supply their trade. 



I don't know as I can offer anything further on this subject. If I 

 can answer any questions I will do so.

Convention called to order. President in the chair. 



PASTEURIZING. 



NELS BENGTSSON. 



Mr. Caven wrote to me a letter some time ago, asking me to write a 

 paper and read same at this convention, and as a subject suggested 

 "Starters." My reply to him was that I would write a paper, but the sub- 

 ject suggested, I thought, had been discussed so much in the dairy papers 

 as well as at conventions, that I could hardly add anything new to it. I 

 shall instead give you my idea of pasteurizing. 



Pasteurizing is quite new in this country in the science of dairying. 

 It was first successfully put into practice by the celebrated bacteriolo- 

 gist. Dr. Pasteur, but it has not yet come to so much use in this country 

 as it deserves, and various reasons have been assigned against it, 

 namely: It is too expensive; It makes too much work, and our home mar- 

 ket does not favor mild flavor or pasteurized cream butter. 



In regard to this last remark, I would like to ask: What does our 

 market demand? My answer to the foregoing question is, A uniform and 

 good keeping quality is the main thing, as well as a tendency to mild 

 flavor.
