FIND MOULDERS SAND
ON c. F. COOLEY FARM
AT NORTH FREEDOM

Forty acres of mOlders' sand, a sub
stance extremely valuable for use in
foundries, have been found on the
farm of G. F. Cooley, Madison coal
dealer, at North Freedom The sand
is of first quality and is an unusual
find in Wisconsin. Foundries in this
state have to have it shipped from
New York, where the Albany sand is
found, and from other states.
State Geologist w. o. Hotchkiss, in
company with Mr.. Cooley, will go to
North Freedom this week to make an
examination of the sand and verify
its quality.
Mr.. Cooley was digging a vegetable
celler when he made the discovery
Molders' sand is worth about 81 a
ton. If the sand discovered at North
Freedom is equal in quality to the
Albany sand used by. foundries, it is
highly valuable find, it was declar
ed at the Southern Wisconsin foun
dry.
The discovery will mean a great
saving in freight charges if the bed
proves to be extensive enough to sup
ply foundries in this region.

HOLsTEIN ASSN
HOLD PICNIC

The Sank County Holstein Freis-
ian Breeders association held their
annual summer picnic and meeting
at HAITI Bros. farm on Sank Prairie,
Saturday, June 18th.
About 400 or 500 people gathered
on the beautiful lawn Of the farm
home and at 1900 o'clock most
sumptuous cafeteria dinner was serv-
ed by the ladies.
Lieut.. Gov. Geo. T. Comings then
gave a splendid address. He en-
phasized the fact that much OF the
high cost of living is due to our sys-
tenn of taxation, high freight rates;
and too many profits gotten by the
middleman. He urged the farmers and
consumers to- organize and get away
from the latter evil and asked every
one to demand of his representative
in Congress and the legislature to
change our system Of taxation and re-
duce freight rates. Lieut.. Gov. Com
ings owns and operates a farm near
Eau Claire where he has fine herd
! of Holstein cattle.
A selection by the Prairie du Sac
orchestra came next and was followed
by talk from Prof. Collentine OF the
College Of Agriculture. Prof. COLLEEN
tine thinks that now is the opportune
time to buy pure bred stock. A read
ing by Miss Margaret Gasser was one
Of the. very best numbers on the pro-
gram and was thoroughly enjoyed by
all.
James Gasser, who is at the head OF
the Wisconsin Live Stock Advertising
Co. of Madison, spoke next as the
/ representative of Secy. Oldham. He
urged all breeders of Holsteins to join
the state association. Through the
state organization at the national
meeting last week at Syracuse, N. Y,
Wisconsin secured three directors on
the national board, John M. Kelley OF
Baraboo being one of them. Mr.. Bailey
of Spring Green and Mr.. Walters OF
Reedsburg also gave short talks.
The Witwen band then gave several
splendid selections and the meeting
adjourned. All were then taken
through the barns to see the beautiful
herd of pure bred Holsteins. HAITI
Bros. have one of the best herds in
the county, all being splendid individ-
uals of good size with fine udders and
/ in good condition. They also have one
of the best sires in the county, his
three nearest dams averaging 80 lbs
butter in Z days. Enough alfalfa is
/ raised on the farm to feed so to so
