ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES
Notes for Week Ending Nov. 3.

Farmers club meetings which the
county agent attended this past week
were held at the home of j. j. Alexander
Williamstown, and at the Odd Fellows
hall, Washington. At both clubs the
feeding question was discussed. Lack of
interest in numbers prevented accom-
plishng what few in both places want
ed that is, to make up cooperative
order for feeds. Possibilities of feed
shortage in this section because o. trans
portation difficulties and the increasing
price would make it seem worth while
for more to try this method of reducing
the feed costs and be sure of a supply.
Owing to the heavy rain, the county
agent was unable to get to Chelsea west
hill meeting Tuesday evening.
Two creameries were visited this week
to test samples and talk over feed prob
lens. AT Wells River two brought in
samples and at Washington three. In
one case the farmer was, by means of
this test, able to confirm his suspicious
about some of his cows poor productive
ability The value of this should be
worth more to him than the few cents
and little additional labor which the
tests cost him. II is interesting to note
the names of some of the cows which
failed to show reasonable hope of max
ing good. Three Tit" Long legged Heif-
err" Small Heifer" and 'Brindle Heifer
Have you any answering these descrip-
tons in your herd? They may be good,
but wouldn't it be worth while to test
them out and make sure = Their names
