A hardworking dog pulls a cart with milk cans to a local cheese factory in Wisconsin’s Door County Peninsula in the early 20th century. One gallon of milk weighs about 8 pounds. I don’t how many gallons a milk can holds but this dog is probably pulling quite a heavy load. via: Belgian-American Research Collection, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, by way of University of Wisconsin Digital Collections Our guest curator Erika Janik will conclude her month-long stint on the blog next week with a look at apple growing (and eating) in Wisconsin.

A fantastic if slightly blurry motion shot of a man squeezing the whey from the curd before scooping the fresh cheese into wooden molds in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. The whey are liquid proteins that refuse to clump and so must be removed to make hard cheeses. Squeezing out the whey also removes some of the lactose - too much can make for an unpalatable cheese. via: Mineral Point Historical Society

The ice cream, bakery, and candy store of my dreams! Jens Confectionary Shop in Milwaukee, shown here in 1916, sold ice cream for a nickel and had jars of fruits and nuts for sundae toppings. The ice cream was Luick, which was once one of the nation’s largest manufacturers of ice cream. President Grover Cleveland is said to have served Luick at a White House state dinner so it must have been delicious stuff. The Luick Ice Cream factory was located in Yankee Hill in downtown Milwaukee. via: “Remember When … ” collection, Milwaukee Public Library

Horse-drawn wagons delivered milk, eggs, and butter to homes in many parts of Wisconsin until the 1920s when they were replaced with trucks. In Milwaukee, Lambrecht Creamery wagons were a familiar sight. The creamery began in 1910 and operated until World War II when the rationing of gas made it challenging for dairy delivery companies to stay in business. In this photo, several Lambrecht Creamery drivers line-up on the corner of N. 15th St. and W. Meinecke Ave. via: “Remember When … ” collection, Milwaukee Public Library

Every May, Wisconsin crowns a new Alice in Dairyland. Alice got her start in 1948 when she hosted the Wisconsin Centennial Exposition at State Fair Park in West Allis. A huge papier-mache “Alice” answered questions from children while the real Alice, Margaret McGuire Blott, remained seated just offstage. Today, Alice in Dairyland is the state’s most recognizable spokesperson for Wisconsin agriculture. Rochelle Ripp of Lodi was named the 65th Alice in Dairyland on May 19th. Her duties begin in June during Dairy Month. In this photo, Governor Tommy Thompson poses with Amy Fischer, Alice in Dairyland 1999. via: Tommy G.
