Farmers school.

A Farmers school.
Last week the Farmers meeting at
the State Normal and the Experiment
station were very interesting, Prof.
Reed from the Agricultural college

on soils, tillage, etc. In the dairying
it took in the separator and the tester,
stock judging ad feeding, of their
finest dairy cows being sent here from
the college, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire
and Holstein and as many had never
seen some of these breeds the exhibit
was interesting, while few knew any
thing OF practical eck-j0dRing-
One COW shown produced Is, TIA lbs
of milk or GIT lbs of butter, fed com
mon Kansas feeds, a production OF a
much as common COWS.
This week Prof. Jardine is here &c
ia on Grain Crops for Western Kar
sas' and Prof Lippencott on Chick
ems and the best breeds suitable tt
the western half of the state.
W. A. Cochel of the Animal HusbaT
dry department is here with car Of
fine stock; cattle, horses and sheep
the same as shown at the great stocl
show at Chicago this week and shipped
direct to Hays from there.
It is much regretted that many more

did not attend these meetings and de
monstrations here in the west as i
was instructive and encouraged ths
Agricultural college to keep it up eve
~ year. The Professors sent here az
experts in their work at the Agricul

educate the students who attend.
The Course continues all next week
and promises to be best of all. The
demonstration of the use Of straw in
stead of burning it, by Prof. Jardine
should be seen by our farmers. Ths
chicken raising, testing and talks vii
be interesting TO the women.
