every home, but do these cows fur
nish enougs milk and butter to sup
ply the bodily needs OF every indi-
viduai in the county, The feed used
by The cows already here if eaten by
cows of better quality will yield milk
sufficiently to supply every home in
the county. Why should we not get
that profit?
OF course we know that this can
not be accomplished ia day-but
we want the people to become a.
Weakened to the fact that the better
the quality of stock one owns the
| higher the profit from them. Think
about it, talk to your neighbors and
friends about what it would mean to
the county If every home was sup
piled with good milk COW.
The County Agents expect to hold
meetings at regular appointments on
that Gay, but should anyone desire
information concerning the selecting
and buying of better COWS. we shall
be glad to assist you 10 any way pos
sible.
The following are suggested menus

ROME. n. Y. March l4-Theh un-

making industry has caused thou
sands OF farmers in this state, prin-

up growing hops. the principal fla
voring ingredient of beer. At one
time the hop industry OF this State
brought the farmers $1O.OOO,O 900 a
year, and now it amounts 10 only a

Fruit growing has been substituted
by the farmers who formerly were in
the hop business. Some Of them hold
that a nice large Northern Spy apple

thirst as is beer, and there is just as
much money in fruit as there was in
