WATCH US GROW.

Mineral Point is noted for its blue
grass pastures and also its fine field
land Land that will grow as good
corn as ever a cut-Worm relished.
Many of the farmers around here had
their land tested to find out whether
they will have to apply lime in order
to grow alfalfa, and the word comes
back to go ahead and SOW alfalfa, the
land is O. K. Our blue grass pas
lures had won fame the world over
We have seen steers shipped here
from Chicago and unloaded at our
yards that look to be in prime con-
dition when turned out to pasture.
We have seen the same steers being
shipped back in the fall with large
increase in weight. We are sorry to
see the men, who have been in the
steer industry, get such a trimming
as they have received for the last two
years, for they are the men who
made Mineral Point famous.
But now we are on the road to
more fame. Fame as being one of
the best dairy districts in Wisconsin.
We find the farming community
gradually turning towards dairying
and the men who are dairying tell us
we have the best land that can be
found anywhere.
The men who are promoting the
dairy industry are taking the right
steps toward success.
They are preparing to milk cows
the year round-that means they will
have steady employment and a con-
slant income. They are joining Cow
Testing Associations, getting &C
quainted with the good cows and
junking the poor ones. Some of
them are building up herds of pure
breds which will be a credit to the
staid old town of Mineral Point.
They have organized a Holstein
Breeders. Club for the dairymen who
are handling HoIsteins and we under
stand thA Guernsey breeders are
about to clsanize club also.
Now wei how from experience that
wherever there are two breeders
associations in any community that
there is always a friendly rivalry
carried on among them
The members of the different asso-
Citations work for the advancement Of
their breed as we'll as for the dairy
industry in general, which assures us
that Mineral Point will soon be
among the best dairy districts in the
state.
From all indications there will be
men in both clubs who will welcome
any rivalry that may come UP.
Men who are not afraid to come
out and give their honest opinion;
men who don't give a hoop whether
you get sore at them or laugh at
them. The man who wishes to sue
coed must expect criticism; he must
theories and take every knock as a
boost
We give below list Of breeders
of pure bred dairy cattle who have
had their herds tuberculin tested
within the last sixty days:
+. Roy Gordon P. B. Holsteins.
Harry Bennett, P. B. HOlsteins.
