VERNON GREATEST OF ALL
A WRITER TELLS THAT WE LEAD IN
DAIRY PRODUCTS.
Too Little Consideration Given TO the Far
mer and His Importance Touches
on Various Subjects.

Oh well 1t doesn't matter what they
said in La Crosse at the court housel
They spoke about the business men, but
did not mention the farmers. A lot of
farmers were there on the business
mems excursion lido think the farmer
is about the busiest man anywhere you
may find him Come right down to it,
we all 'ook to the farmer as support.
The railroads could not exist without
them They are the producers of all
that we eat not drink " They are be-
coming one of the forward generations
of today in the future they will be more
SO. Our forefathers were all good men,
even ABE split rails We are not go
ing to leave the farmers out mot by a
our state and local papers is leaving ont
the farmer too much-law suits, divorce
cases. railroad companies and all kinds
of nonsense. Send some of the report
ers ont on the farms and get good sound
sense, and healthy ones at that.
Our county, Vernon, is getting to be
the leading county Of the state in the
dairy business Their production is one
Of the finest the year round. A letter
from ore of the largest cold storage
houses in Chicago says the butter pro.
duced n Vernon county in July and
Augugt, is as fine as the butter produc-
cd in other counties of the state in June.
1t is because we have the springs, the
natural grasses it is not because we
take the best of care Of our cream. We
can improve our cream by better care
all the time That is what we want,
care ali the time.
You must now think of the cow that
has been paying you the So TO 50 each
fifteen days for the last six months.
What did you do with it, or what are
you going to do with itg 1t will buy
the children nice warm stockings, shoes
and clothing How Shout the COW that
made you this money! Are you going
to let her stand out under a shed all
winter, or are you going to fix up her
stable warm, clean and comfortable"
Do you not call this business? You get
Your right test it may be high, one test
say 30 and the next So You must ex-
pect this the year through. You got
two TO three tents a pound more for your
b. :; 5r this year than last Are you sat
ished2 Can you do better? In Califor
MIA they prefer the COW to the gold
mines. The cow brings you in steady
income every fifteen days; the gold mine
of today will probably pay you divi-
dend of three or five per cent on your
money invested If the cow isn't any
good you can sell or eat her, without 60
ing to syndicate to buy you out.
We had fine time at La Crosse, al
though there were some mistakes made
br some of us who hadn't seen SO large
a city Undertaking establishments
were taken for restaurants, especially
where they had the Miller sign on them.
OF course Gunds was all right some
called for big gum" and some for little
gun We thought the mayor Of La
Crosse was a handsome man, but the
mayor of Viroqus is not comparison TO
him You ladies who were spoken of
on the court house steeps have no idea
of handsome man. OF course Mayor
Coffland had bad trip from Chicago
his clothes were wrinkled, had sat up
all night as he could get no berth; could
not expect him to be IN his beauties, al
though when he looked over the audi
ence it brought smile on his face.
But. Mr. Murray, why he was all
smiles Thanks to you all.
Your truly,
