A Suggeslo1 to DairYmen.

To the Editor of The Statesman:
AUSTIN, May 10.-I have often wondered
why the dairymen of this county do not
form club or association, that they may
meet together and discuss their business
and mode of operations, thus helping each
o'her onward TO perfection ard-pros-
perity, perhaps. We see that the farmers,
the lawyers, the NJ. DIS, n. DIS and many
other business men find it profitable as
well as pleasant to meet aud discuss the
various phases of their professions then
why, may ask, does not this branch of
business also find it advantageous to Or
ganize?
| would like to hear the subject dis
cussed, and see the interest taken in tn e
matter that it's merits demand.
Austin would doubtless be the most
pleasant place to meet, and now that all
hearts are bubbling over with good in
tentions, some Of these ID. i's) might be
spared to the dairymen of the county, and
a suitable place for its meetings be tea
dered them.
Do let US hear from all and see what we
can do. Who will appoint a day and
meeting place! "0NE OF THEM"
