HE main floor of the auditorium
IN the city hall was filled with rep.
leSentative stock men from all over
slle state i'm their session Wednesday
evening. There were many ladies
who took much interest i'm the pro-
ceedin.s of the evening. The North
western Harp orchestra furnished
music for the evening and the solos
by Miss May WEIGH and Mr.. Fred
kratz and the readings ny Messrs.
liager and Seaman were exceedingly
we'll rendered. That they were APP
preciated was evident as all were
called upon to respond to d hearty en-
cone.
Dr. Dnndas. who had charge of the
literary part OF the program, said the
numbers were arranged on the spur
OF the moment just to fill in and that
Mitchell had the faculty of filing in
to meet any occasion.

to hold the anpual Writer sales and
that the committee go before the

ty. Henry keith, OF Mcpherson coun-

AS Hon. M. f. Greeley was not able
TO be present owing to sickness, MIR.
L. III. Storegaard, of the Dakota
Farmer, was called upon TO speak in
his place. He said that he would not
attempt to say what Mr.. Greeley
would give to the Agricultural
Journal and the Farmer, but would
just have d little visit and heart to
heart talk with the breeders. The
breeding Of pure-bred stock is a bus
mess and must be put on a business
basis. We must not be too much for
fat and facny. The breeder must
get out and study the stock OF other
men. When you ale with your own
stock so much thew look good to you
because you have not had sufficient
opportunity for observation. There
is thing which the..breeders must
get over and that is the spirit OF
jealousy. This one thing will be
more hindrance to the progress and
advancement Of the breeders of the
state than any other n thing. The
more breeders we have the better
and the more pure bred stock sold
the greater will be the demand for
more.
Mr.. Edward Squirting, of Brook
ings. who was on for .'Feeding
Lambs for Market" said that the
subject had been so we'll covered i'm
the wool growers convention, that
he would only say a few words. He
thought sheep feeding would soon be
one of the great Industries in the
eastern part Of the state, and that
there now many feeders who We're
feeding large numbers OF sheep.
The balance Of the evening the
members enjoyed a smoker. which
rendered ty the Commercial
Committee. and for an hour or more
they discussed topics of interest to
themselves.
z. L. Wickhem held a meeting of
the Shorthorn breeders to receive
members.
Secretary Wilson stated that 80 new
members were added to the %associa-
ton since the opening day and that
before the close tomorrow evening
he fully expected that the total
would reach 400.
