Dairy Convention.

The 28th annual convention of the
Iowa State Dairy Association will be
held at Mason City Feb. 1st, I'd, and
Sd and arrangements are being made
for one of the best meetings ever held.
The dairy business has for years
proved to be the most remunerative of
any branch of farming and the future
gives promise of continued prosperity
in this line but the degree of prosper
ity of the individual dairyman depends
entirely upon the amount Of knowledge
possessed by him and it has been the
work of this association to spread the
doctrine of good dairying in all its
stages from the breeding of the true
dairy COW to the turning out of the
finished product.
The program has been arranged and
competent speakers secured with a
view of deling with all the subjects
pertaining to this important industry.
The officers feel warranted in assuring
every body in the state, who is engag-
ed in dairying or contemplates engag-
ing in it, that his time will be we'll
spent in attending this meeting.
Mason City is making arrangements
to entertain all who may attend so
there need be no fear that everybody
will not be accommodated at reason
able rates. They will also furnish a
part of the musical program from
their very best musical talent for
which the city is so noted.
Everybody is invited to come and
make this the biggest and best meet
ing ever held. S. B. Shilling, Presi-
dennt, p. II. Kieffer, Secretary.
