Of the very best meetings since its
organization. There was large at
tendance and . wideawake interest
manifested In the affairs of the
club.
Plans for the forthcoming Dairy
Day, which has come to be so i'm
portant IN event In the life of Holly
were first- discussed. the plans final.
ly agreed upon appearing in an
otllsr column Of the Chieftain.
The Dairy School, which will con-
vene in Holly next Tuesday, then
came before the meeting for atten-
ton. There IL every promise that
this school will be . success from
whatever angle it may be judged
and every care is being taken to
leave nothing undone to insure it's
success. While the state depart
ment requires only m assurance Of
ten students to hold school this
community has already pledged
more than twenty and others will
probably register before the school
opens. The school will be held
from the 18th to the 18th, inclusive.
Work will begin each morning at
10 o'clock. the morning session be-
ing held in the club meeting room
OF the land company office. The
afternoon sessions will quite likely
be held ct the Model Dairy Farm
or at some other convenient dairy
where cows will be available for
demonstration and judging.
In discussing the objects Of the
club and what is being done by
the organization. President Part.
ridge referred very enthusiastically
to the Denver Stock Show. from
which he had rseantlys ratlaxnAd. -
indicating the rapid develop.
Iaent of the dairy industry in the
west and OF what may be done in
the way OF breeding high class stun
with profit. Mr.. Partridge was one
OF the honor guests at the big ban.
quet at Denver and placed Holly
on the map by delivering one of the
very best speeches of the evening.
President Partridge reminded the
club during the course Of his re-
marks of the advantage of this Sec
tion for dairy purposes. referring
with effect to his recent trip
through the central and eastern
states which were then snOw-bound
and in the grip of intense and pro-
longed cold. As dairy section he
thinks the eastern states have cas-
tern Colorado "bested" for about
three months of the year. but for
nine months of the year he is sure
we have the best of it. He can see
but one result of the unfitness of
the east for dairying and that is
the decrease Of the industry there
and It's development and growth in
the west. For Holly and vicinity
he predicts q brilliant future.
The subject, Mistakes Of Dairy
man." was the chief topic of discus
sion at the meeting. Richard
Wendt led the discussion. empha-
sizing the necessity of keeping cows
warm, of warming drinking water
and of giving the business the
closest attention at all times. Jens
Jensen thought it best to have re-
gular times of day in which to feed
and to milk and that this schedule
be followed carefully. J. H. Leo
nard emphasized the need of CIV
ing all departments careful study
and the best Of care George Schell
said that too frequently q ration.
over-balanced with protein was be
ing fed dairy cows and hoped some
method could be devised which
would overcome the necessity of feed
ing frozen silage to stock. Mr..
Mikelsen thinks grain ration pays
and recited an experience Of his
own which was given the closest at.
tentiOn by the dairymen present.
