NOTABLES VISITORS AT g.
DAIRY CONVENTION

Visitors to the Red River Dairy
mems convention include several
noted characters, including represen-
tatives of farm end dairy publica-
tions and l.. 3. Anderson Of Clear
brook, buttermaker.
]. H. Hughes is among the visitors.
He is from st. Patti and is the editor
of the Farm, Stock and Home Jour
nal and his duties takes him over
a wide territory, including the Da-
kotas and Minnesota.
II. Sandholt is the editor of the
Dairy Record, published in St. Paul.
His duties likewise take him to i'm
portant meetings throughout the
state and other northwest states.
Mr. Anderson's claim to distinc-
tion, besides being crackerjack in
the butter business, is that he holds
the belt as the champion loud
1augher of the association. He can
get more enjoyment out of a good
laugh than prize bull can get out
of healthy roar, and when he gets
started everybody becomes innocu-
lated and get in on chorus.

SAGE ADVICE FOR THOSE Who r
CONTEMPLATE DAIRY BUSINESS

edge and always shall ue, how i'm
portant it is for the beginner in
dairying to take up the work with
good dairy paper that will come to
your home weekly and read it. Take
the annual report Of the State Dairy
mems, association and study it. A
study Of your work will not only
make you more successful in finan-
cial way, but 1t will make your work
less laborsome. We are never too
old to learn and you will be sur
prised to find out how much there is
to know about .dairying.
b. ITO, study your business as a
dairy farmer is the most important
thing / can tell you. What I may
say about COWS, and about feed and
the manufacture of dairy products
and the sale of the same, you may
forget. =. You probably will forget 1t,
but il you remember to study the
subject Of dairying, the information
that will help you will be yours, will
become a, part of you and you will
be successful in your work. -
Feed Big Problem.
There Is a receipt in an old Eng
lish cook book that tells how to cook
a rabbit. 1t begins by saying, first
catch. the rabbit" A big problem in
dairying whether here in. the timber,
or on the prairie is to get feed. You
can't cook a rabbit until you have
caught it, and you cannot do much
in dairying until you are growing
not only sufficient feed, but the right
kind of feed. 1t takes just about
four acres of land to feed a dairy
COW properly; two acres for pasture
and two acres for growing winter
feed. The beginner may get along
with less-he may have tor the
farmer who has brought his land to
high state of production, but you
may take it as fact that under
general conditions, you will not have
solved the feed problem in dairying
until you have two acres OF good
pasture and two acres of clover, corn
and oats for each cow that you milk.
Put four acres down in your mind
and you have good start toward
the COW that will give you $100
above the cost Of feed that was men,
toned here this morning"
