PICNIC IS A SUCCESS
Uglem's Grove Scene of a Large Gath
ering of Farmers and Others
on Sunday, July 25th.
Five Authorities on Dairying Address
the Assemblage on Various
Branches Of Industry.

SoS was al 4uodl Ody IOf the
picnic of the West Branch Co-opera-
tive Creamery association and several
hundred people availed themselves of
the opportunity to visit the pretty
grove of County Commissioner o. 81.
Uglem, there to enjoy the excellent
program which had been prepared
for the occasion. The Uglem grove,
with its fine old trees and baseball
ground adjoining is certainly an ideal
spot for an occasion of this kind.
We noticed that Princeton was par
ticularly we'll represented at the pic
mic, several automobiles and many
teams from here having been lined up
on the stretch of ground set apart for
the accommodation of vehicles.
The officers of the creamery GER
tainly put forth their best efforts to
make it pleasant for the visitors and
no one was disappointed.
At noon dinner was served beneath
the spreading branches of the noble
old oaks, and it proved to be meal
which would tickle the palate of the
Verlest epicure- fried spring chicken,
roasted meats, choice vegeta bles and
many kinds of desserts. It fully
demonstrated that the farmers wives
know how to prepare meal which for
appetiizng qualities far surpasses the
stuff which the imported cooks serve
in city restaurants. Speaking of the
dinner, Dennis Kaliher, who is
acknowledged to be good cook, re-
marked: "Be CAD, I never enjoyed
meal better in my life. The ladies
surely did do well-they furnished the
best of everything and plenty of it.
| 1t reminds me of the time when I was
the husband of a farmers wife myself.
God bless the farmers wives.''
The creamery association was fortu-
nate in securing as speakers for this
occasion some of the best authorities
to be obtained-men who have made
life study of the subjects upon
which they discussed. In all five ex-
perts addressed the gathering, viz,
}. A. WYE, secretary of the state ex-
pertinent station; Geo. P. Grout,
assistant in dairy husbandry, state
experiment station: F. D. Currier,
secretary State Dairymen's associa-
ton: W. F. schilling, Spring Brook
farm, NOrthfeld, r. G.. Reed. Howell.
Michigan.
Each speaker treated a different
subject, but these subjects were all
allied-they pertained to the various
branches of dairying. Every phase
Of the industry was touched upon-the
selection of milk COWS, breeding, feed
ing, management of cooperative
creameries, etc. It was one of the
finest courses of lectures that the
farmers in this country have ever
listened to.
Following the addresses two ball
games were played, the first between
Long Siding and Estes Brook and the
second between Long Siding and
Milaca. Long Siding was victorious
in both contests, defeating Estes
Brook by a score of 10 to and
Milaca by 5 to l..
The, West Branch creamery is doing
a very satisfactory business. It's
patrons are increasing their herds
of COWS and the institution is paying
the highest prices it possibly can for
butterfat. The board of directors
consists of progressive, Ievel-headed
farmers who embrace every oppor-
tunity to enhance the success of the
creamery, and under their manage
ment it is bound to prosper.
