chinery seems very practical for a
large dairy, but it is doubtful if
CHARTERS pay for themselves, yet,
at any rate. The milkhouse on this
dairy farm had been plastered twice,
but the steam and dampness. had
twice made it fall off. Iron sheeting
would doubtless do better.
Our Farmers Club has helped keep
away gloom through the past grow
ing season. One June all the Farm
ers' Clubs in this vicinity gave a
picnic, to which they invited the Be-
midi business men. The state leg
islators, who were touring the state,
attended. We farmers all felt
tblue'' as could be, not only with dis
couragement, but with cold. But
after we had beaten the business men
in game of baseball, we all felt
much better, and went home ready to
chit the line" again.
In summary, would say that the
past year has taught me these things:
the need of variety of crops. to in
sure one7 against total failure; the
advisability of seeding timothy with
clover; the need of rotation includ-
ing clover; the value of hot-bed ;
a study of our soil and climate; the
need of social life; the advantage
of good drainage and silo.
