SAVE ON FEED COST

The dairy farmers Of Iron county
might with profit to themselves, fol-
low the scheme of dairymen living
near Tecumseh, Lenawee county, who
have found a partial remedy for the
high cost OF dairy feed.
Tecumseh farmers, who are mem
bers OF one OF the most active farmers
cooperative associations in the state,
have perfected a plan whereby they
have arranged for themselves the mix
ing in Chicago OF standard feed from
pure grains. This feed is now being
distributed to dairymen in southern
Michigan at cost. and is saving mem
bers of the association from 10 70 20
per cent.
The organization through which
the work in Tecumseh is being done.
Is the Tecumseh Cooperative assoc
iat.on. The feed-mixing project was
worked up by Il comparatively with
the Michigan Agricultural college.
Here is chance for our county ag-
riculturist to investigate.
