who addressed the corn growers at
the city hall, last night The dairy
cow is profitable from every stand
point" continued the speaker She
NOT only furnishes butter, milk and
food but also 1ertiizes and improv-
es the value of the farming land ON
which she grazes Every part of her
is useful TO man, and when she goes
10 the slaughter house even the blood
is utilized for Il useful purpose. The
use of the dairy COW is on an increase
all over the west and particularly in
South Dakota
Mr. Laity emphasized the fact that
i'm his opinion there is no such thing
as a COW. which is good for dua
purpose She must be either milk
animal or one for beef. He illustrated
by the anatomy OF the COW why TIN!
is true He remarked that the key
to the value of COW is the perform
ance test which is record of hel
daily work. He spoke OF the care o
the COW and declared that she AN,
not the horse deserved the careful
grooming and cleaning. He pointe'
out that cleanliness is the key to sue
cess OF the dairy business. He rec
commended Il change of food for tn
COW. and ii balanced ration. Stain;
that her food must be made palat
