the seating capacity of the armory, the
most spacious structure in the city. Ad-
ditional chairs were provided this morn
ing and every bit of available floor

for admission than could be accommo-

subjects pertaining to dairying.B The
speakers were happily chosen and the
deepest interest was manifested id every
address. s. They confined themselves to
a limited time and very little of the rest
lessnesS noticeable in the AUDIENCE yes
,terday was evident today
The convention was called to- order
at o:5o by President Worst, who briefly

cConnell, formerly dairy comf1H Hssion-
er Of Minnesota. ,ssss ~
The address of Mr.. Mcconnell was
illustrated by pictures of. different
breeds of cows and was interspersed
with statistics read and explained in "a
most interesting and entertaining man
.ner. The speaker impressed upon the
.dairymen the importance of culling the
herds of cattle. He said that it was not
the high bred animal that was the best
for dairying purposes but that he had
often seen perfect type of COW that was
not of, any value as producer of milk
and butter.
In answer to a question as to what
kind of a COW was the best for the
dairy, Mcconnell told about his neigh
shors in the southern part. of Minnesota,
showing the personal characteristics of
each. One is Welchman, another "A
Swede. another German and another
a native of Indiana. /.
They are all good men and there
fore good neighbors," said the speaker.
1T is the same with the cows. Al good
COW gives good milk and an abundance
of it if properly cared for, no, matter
whether she is Jersey or Just d COW I
The importance of raising ,olih good
cows was point which the speaker
dwelt upon to a considerable extent Th
Importance of good sire was also
brought out, He warned the dairyrnen
that unless they paid careful attention
to their cattle they would soon have
beef herds instead of cows of value for
dairyirg purposes.
Don't go@ into the dairying business
at the expense of your wife and family
once knew a man who thought that
he knew all about the business ] met
him one day and he at once commenced
to tell me about his success. l. asked
him how many cows he had. He re-
piled that he had fifteen.
How many acres Of land have you?
Three hundred, was the reply
With that amount of land you
ought to have many more cows. Why
is it that yoii have so few?
The man hung his head for mo-
fnert and then replied
".lAFell, to tell the truth, that is
about all that my wife can milk
My advice to you is not to attempt
to care for more cows than your wife
can milk. ~
