ESTABLISHING GOOD RECORD
Alfalfa Dairy Farm Cows Give 1880
Pounds of Milk in One Week.

During the past two weeks the
COWS, there are forty, on the Alfalfa
Dairy Farm, which is located west
of Bemidji, and owned by w. G..
Schroeder, the Bemidji merchant,
have given 14,O70 pounds of milk.
Last week they gave 1880 pounds
and the week before 7O40, which is
considered a very good record.
= Mr.. Schroeder has only a common
herd, for he is firm believer that
the common cow gives just as much
milk and in an all around way is
just as satisfactory as the more ex-
pensive milk producer. ~.~
He has been in the dairying bust
ness little less than year, and to-
day is known throughout the state
of Minnesota, as a thorough business
man, and his methods in connection
with the operating of the Alfalfa
farm are watched closely by all who
are interested in dairying. : -..

Andrew Rood, whose rich baritone
voice has been heard by every music
