Article I

selves together for the purpose of forming a corporation under Chap-
ter 86 of the Wisconsin Statutes of 1898 and the acts amendatory
thereof and supplementary thereto, the business, purpose and object
of which corporation shall be the education of its members for better
work in the art of making cheese, the care and management of fac-
tories, the sale of their products and the weeding out of incompetency
in the business of cheese making; the further object of the corpora-

laws as will protect the manufacture of honest dairy products against

for united action, on all state wide problems affecting cheese makers.
