Following are synoptic reports of

ings held at Estes Brook, Long Sid
ing and Princeton respectively:
At Estes Brook.
"A dairy meeting was held at Estes
Brook on Wednesday, March Fl, at
z O'Clock in the afternoon. and, despite
the stormy weather, about fifty were
IN attendance. This is proof that the
farmers are fast beginning to realize
the advantages derived from the pur-
suit of dairying and are anxious to
improve their methods that they may
obtain the greatest possible profits
from their COWS.
G. e. Lindall of the West Branch
creamery called the meeting to order
and 0. 81. Uglem was the first to ad-
dress the audience. He impaired
some valuable information as to the
feeding and care of COWS. and ex-
planned how it was possible to double
the income from the animals by fol-
lowing the instructions he set forth.
He said they should be we'll fed, we'll
housed and kept indoors upon cold
days. ..-- ....
A. B. Gramer then pointed out the
benefits and profits whicE could be
derived from corn fodder provided
farmers had silos, and said that if
farmers, in combinations of four or
five, would purchase the necessary
machinery for preparing ensilage, the
cost to each would be but small and
the profits realized would average
double those now received.
G. E. Lindall gave talk on clean
Illness in the care of milk and cream.
He said that the most essential thing
necessary to produce a grade of butter
which would bring fancy prices was
cleanliness = scrupulous cleanliness.
II the creamery patrons do their part
by bringing in pure, clean, whole
some cream and milk, said he, the
; ssszstsr akerz@ should z~be enabled. to
turn out product second to none on
the market.
Mr.. Guderian then made a short
speech on the care of COWS and the ad-
vantage derived from feeding timothy,
etc.
j. G. Joslyn, state dairy inspector,
was the next speaker. He urged the
farmers to take better care of their
stock, especially their milk COWS, so
that they may obtain the lar est
profits possible. He explained how
essential it was to take only pure
cream and milk to the creamery and
to keep the separators clean. He ad-
vised farmers to take their milk and
cream to the creamery three times
week in summer and twice a week in
winter. He told them that they should
stick to the cooperative and home
creamery for the reason that if the
centralizing concerns we're patronized
freely it would not be long before the
prices would 60 down-the centraliz-
ers would pay just what they saw fit.
Al Long Siding.
The most enthusiastic dairy meeting
ever held in this part of the country
was that at district 4 school house on
Wednesday evening, March Fl. The
school house was filled to it's utmost
capacity, about 200 persons being
present.
The meeting was called to order by
G. 3. Linda1l and the address of well
come was delivered by o. G. Ug1em.
b. P. Olson, editor of the Dairy
Record, then expatiated upon the
benefits of a farmers testing associa-
ton. A testing association is an or
ganization wherein the farmers of a
district or districts employ a man to
test their cream and milk. Mr.. Olson
lucidly set forth the advantages of
such combination.
This was followed by short talk
on the better care of milk and cream
by J. c. Joslyn, and then Messrs.
Joslyn, Shrewsbury, Webber and
Fadden shook the calcimine from the
wall by singing that good old song,
" America. -
Frank Shrewsbury spoke on the
necessity of farmers cooperating in
order that the creamery may be made
a success.
W. B. Fadden, proprietor of the
Milaca creamery, explained in a con-
else address why the cooperative and
home creameries should stick together.
He pointed out that this was the
only practical method of competing
with the big centralizing plants.
There were many ladies in attend
ance at this meeting and to their pres
ence was largely due the enthusiasm
prevailing. Whenever a number of
