Gentlemen: Pursuant to notice by the chair
of the county board visited the Iowa
County Asylum and Home the 30th day of
June, 1911.
We found both institutions clean and sanitary
and the inmates we'll taken care of. Some i'm
provements in the cow barn were contemplated
in the line of cement floors and this consider
needed. The demonstration work done on
the farm in connection with the State Expert
mental station we commend and believe 1T will
prove of value to the ia m and surrounding coun-
try. We would recommend for the consideration
of the Board of Trustees the change from the
beef breed to a dairy breed of cattle on the farm
We feel confident that the receipts from the farm
would be greatly increased. The best care possi-
bic could be given that class of cattle this
farm Pure bred cattle should be gradually in
troduced till the whole herd were registered cat
tie We would then have valuable as ct on our
county farm.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
