i - " SAac very USSC dairy COWS
OF all breeds that this country has
produced, including also many famous
grade COWS. Everything in the line
OF modern dairy machinery, milking
machines, machinery for the manu-
1acture OF condensed milk and milk
powder, butter making machinery and
other contrivances for the sanitary
handling of milk and cream will be
shown. The speaker explained and
emphasized the importance Of the
dairy cow as an aid to the return of
national prosperity and he pointed
to numerous examples in this state
where the dairy COW has been the
means Of lifting farmers out Of debt,
increasing bank deposits and bringing
about prosperity.
@ In connection with the Dairy Show
will be many other worth while fea-
lures to entertain and instruct the
visitors, among them $32, 700 health
show, exhibited for the first time west
of New York city. This show is a
? most marvellous and unique attempt
at spreading the gospel Of good health
and is alone worth a trip to the Twin
Cities, =: =. z-..-.,,-.
Mr.. Aldous extended a cordial in
vitation to the farmers Of Marshall
county to visit the Dairy Show and
assured them that they would be well
repaid for doing so. At a time like
this when agriculture is at low ebb
1t behooves us to learn all we can
about dairying, which time and again
has proved to be the sure road to
agricultural prosperity.
At the conclusion Of MI Aldous'
address, R. G. Mathwig, the president
OF the Club, called upon several
farmers present. Mr.. NJ Z. Warner
made good talk touching upon many
of the problems now confronting the
farmer. He urged the farmers to
meet these problems courageously and
manfully and never give up. BY do
Ing so they would be on top in time.
he emphasized the Importance of the
hen on the farm and said he will get
500 So d bushei for every bushel Of
wheat consumed by his chickens.
Mr. A. c. Knudsen thought it would
be good thing for the farmers here
to investigate the matter of growing
sugar beets. He intended, he said,
to make a trip to Fisher soon to learn
what success the farmers there have
had in growing, this crop. # they
can make a profit raising sugar beets,
we also can. - -
Mr.. Harvey Rosendahl told about
new method he has tried for feed
ing hogs during the summer months
In short small plots Of ground fenced
and seeded to rape, barley and corn,
into which the hogs are turned sue
cessively, have furnished summer feed
for five brood sows and their litters,
with only little corn meal added.
The scheme should include also plot
of fall rye and one Of alfalfa, but he
has not had these the past summer.
When the corn has been hogged off,
the porkers, it is thought, will be fin
ished off for the market by this meth
cd of summer feeding.
