In regard to Mrs. Howie's lecture
we quote the following from the
Southern Ruralist:
s'Mrs. AIDA F. HOWE, the lecturer
on dairying is an authority on all
that pertains to the dairy cow with
25 years of practicl experience. She
is the only woman member of the
State board of agriculture of Wis
consin, was awarded the degree OF
honor by the University Of Wlscon-
sin for agricultural achievement and
the only woman who was ever invlt-
ed to membership in the American
Jersey Cattle club.
beginning with single cow on a
worn-out Wisconsin farm OF l2O
acres at the end of rs years she had
herd of $50 registered Jersey cat
tie of the finest strains and a repu-
tation for breeding that brought her
the top prices for her cattle-prlces
that gave her competency for life,
and enabled her to visit Europe, the
homes of the Jersey, the Guernsey
the Ayrshire, the Alderney, the Hol-
stein and the Brown Swiss, and make
study of their history and achieve
ments.
"Her lectures are not technical de-
scriptions of methods and profits, but
are poems of love and affection for
the deer-eyed beauties that furnish
mankind with the one perfect food
for it is love of her work and he1
working partner as she calls them
which made her success. She says
that no one can be successful
dairyman without loving care OF MS
cattle. The lecture is illustrated
with portraits of the prize winners OF
different breeds. Her descriptions
of the regeneration of the soil Of
Wisconsin-worn out with a one crol
system of wheat-by dairying is pc
culiarly applicable to the wornou
cotton fields Ct the South. These lee
lures can not fail to awaken some de
gree of interest in dairying in ever!

,ered."
