A rousing good meeting of Rusk
county dairy farmers was held in
the court house Wednesday after
noon. Although the weather was I'M
favorable, about seventyfive enthusi
astic "cow men" attended the meet
ing and took an active part in the
discussion Prof. G. c. Humphrey, OF
the state agricultural college, gave a
practical talk on "Calf Raising" He
urged every dairy man in the coun-
ty to raise each heifer calf and to
feed the calf well from the time he
was born until it come into milk.
Mr.. Humphrey advised farmers who
are patronizing cheese factories to
meal mixed with a pint of boiling
water for one pint of whole milk.
After the calf is six weeks old this
substitution should be continued un-
til the calf receives one half milk
and one-half meal Cruel The Lady
smith creamery supplied Mr.. Chas
Lyman, of Rhinelander, as their part
Of the program. Mr. Lyman gave a
very interesting and instructive ac-
count of his recent investigations in
ireland, about the methods used by
Irish farmers and dairy men in the
manufacture and sale of their dairy
products. He urged the farmers TO
be loyal to their cooperative cream
cry and to strive in every way pos
slble to deliver a first class product
to the butter maker. Mr.. Lyman's
talk was very instructive and his
arguments were absolutely sound
