w. F. Schilling And Charles L. Hill to
. Address Stock Raisers.
Word has recently been received by
the local dairy breed associations that
both w. F. Schilling of Mortified and
Charles l. Hill of Rosendale, Wis, will
be present to speak at the time of
the calf show and dairy cattle, and to
judge tile calves on exhibition Pro-
fessor W. A. McKerrow of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota will also appear on
the program.
This will be the greatest orportun-
ity the dairymen of this region have
ever had to hear leading dairymen of
the country and to get the best in
formation concerning dairying under
war conditions. The conditions now
make it more than ever necessary
that only well bred efficient COWS be
used. For the feeder of high produc-
ton cows, there has never been a
greater opportunity. On the other
hand, there has never. been time
when low production COWS would lose
more money for their owners.
:. These leading dairymen will ex-
plain the most prominent factors in
profitable feeding and breeding of
dairy stock. There will be both an
afternoon and an evening meeting.
The judging will be done in the after
noon, and the judges will be asked to
give talks on the selection of breed
ing animals and the reasons for their
placings.
