SPECIAL DAIRY CARS.
viii Garry Cattle Through the
Southern Part of Iowa.
FEBRUARY 10 TO MARCH 2
State Dairy Expert Van Pelt Makes
Announcements of Special Train
Through Southern Iowa
February 10.

Des Moines, Feb. 12.-For the pur
pose Of improving the dairy industry
in southern Iowa, Hugh G. Van Pelt
state dairy expert, has made arrange.
ments with the c., B. e @. railroad to
run special dairy train through that
part Of the state from February 1S
to March 2. The train will start
from Burlington on the former date,
run west on the main line to Glen
wood and return on the Keokuk &
Western. Stops of from thirty min
utes to three hours will be made in
every town where sufficient interest
is shown. In all about 100 towns will
be visited.
Mr.. Van Pelt is to be in charge OF
the train, which will be run under the
auspices of the Iowa State Dairy as
ISOLATION. Authorities on dairying OF
state, national and international fame
are being secured to give lectures and
demonstrations in each of the towns
where stops are made.
According to Mr.. Van Pelt this will
ial train ever run in Iowa for educa-
tional purposes. 1t will consist Of an
engine, baggage car, an Arms palace
car. two lecture coaches, and COM
bination diner and sleeper. In the
Arms palace car will be carried dairy
animals of the most approved types,
and at each town, demonstrations will
be given to illustrate to the farmers
in attendance the essential points to
be observed in selecting dairy animals
to improve their herds. The audienc-
es will be seated in the lecture cars.
In order to secure the best lecture
talent obtainable, the combination din
ing and sleeping car was obtained to
make the speakers comfortable and
permit of a greater number Of stops.
Already great interest is being
shown in the proposed trip by farm
ers of southern Iowa, and Mr.. Van
Pelt is receiving numerous letters
from persons interested in dairying,
asking that the train stop in their
town .
every farmer in southern Iowa will
have an opportunity to obtain some
facts relative to the improvement that
should and will be made in milk and
butter production" said Mr.. Van Pelt
in speaking Of the purpose Of running
the dairy special. This train repre-
sents portion of the campaign being
carried on by the Iowa State Dairy
mems association for the betterment
of dairy conditions, made possible by
the $4,000 appropriation of the last
general assembly.
with the Iowa cow yielding an in
come to the state of S50,000,000, the
possibility of increasing her produc-
ton to insure an income of 100000
900 lies within easy reach Of the Iowa
farmer. The speakers will make plain
to the farmer how this result may ne
accomplished. The fact that one-third
Of the 1,450,000 cows now being milk
ed in Iowa are scarcely paying for
their feed illustrates the possibility
of improvement. The average pro-
duction of the Iowa cow Is 140 pounds
Of butter per year. 1t should be 300
pounds, and can be made to reach
that point If the man who milks the
cows will heed suggestions offered for
imnrOVlng their herds"
