are practically complete. The COM
mittee reports an unusual interest in
the meeting and estimates an attend
ance of at least 500.
Special attention is being given to
the dairy show, which is held in con-
nection with the convention. This
feature will undoubtedly be stronger
than ever before, because of the fact
that the best of Northfield's famous
Holstein-Friesian dairy herds are to
be on exhibition. F. d. Currier, sec
rotary of the association, in circular
letter to 1000 dairymen in the state,
says: II
Mortified can truthfully boast of
the best dairy cattle in the world and
they will be right on the ground, in
all ages and sizes, SO that every visitor
will have an opportunity to see what
good dairy cattle look like"
The Prizes Offered.
Cash prizes aggregating $242 have
been offered, in addition to the silver
loving cup awarded the best herd.
The program has been made as prac-
teal as possible and is being adver-
tised as -four days school for dairy
farmers-a meeting for men who milk
the cows and the boys who make the
butter" Speakers of national repu.
tation in dairy and agricultural work
