Although i've STOCK growers are HOI
blind to the usefulness of good grass,
the council of arrangements for the
American Live Stock Feeders and
Breeders convention at St Paul, on
Jan. II and 13 next, is not letting grass
grow under its feet these days.
The office of the council has been a
scene of activity all tt week. A corps
OF clerks have been &C work addressing
ard mailing the circular of information
country; over 5000 Of these have been
sent out, but the council finds it i'm
possible to secure the addresses of all
interested in stock raising and wishes
every one interested in the live stock
industry to come anyway.
Personal letters have accompanied
the invitation to the president and sec
rotary OF every live stock association
asking for the appointment Of twenty
delegates from every association, and
the directors and faculty of all state
agricultural experiment stations have
received invitations to attend, as we'll
as hundreds of farmers and breeders
and feeders all over the country. In
addition the council issues a public in
vitation to all persons interested in the
live stock industry to be present as full
delegates, the only requirement being
that they report their names and ad-
dresses to the secretary on the day of
arrival.
A low round trip rate will be given
from all Eastern and trans Missouri
territory to the convention, Chairman
Il. D. Caldwell, Of the Western Lines
Passenger association, having notified
the council Of the arrangements to that
effect yesterday. The council has the
full cooperation of home railroads In
making the convention success and
it is expected that the rates from points
west and northwest of st. Paul,
be announced this week, will enable the
thousands of stock raisers and farmers
interested in stock raising in Wisconsin,
Illinois. Iowa. Minnesota the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon and other states
to come in body.
The proceedings Of the convention
will be exceedingly valuable to begin
ners in stock raising, for they VIII pc
practical in their nature, dealing with
points which every stock raiser has 10
meet with in actual experience, such as
the type of stock to breed to meet the
market demands, the proper variety OF
foods to make the best distribution or
hone and flesh, and how to feed the
same. Another important subject will
he on marketing live stock, and the
council will arrange for talks from
practical packers and shippers upon this
subject. ,,,
one of the things to be considered
will be upon the question OF a perna-
nent international organization repre-
sentine all breeds of horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep, and it is probable that such
a committee will be appointed during
tho first DAVIS session, to consist Of
representative from each live stock as
sociation present in order that every
interest will have proper representa-
ton. -,,, - =,
