The transcsntinental Dairy Special

Farmers Week in Madison, Wiscon-
sin. when ex-governor d. w. Davis
Of Idaho, conferred with officials OF
the college of agriculture. Mr.. Da-
Wis is enthusiastic over the prospects
of dairying in his state and wants
farmers of Idaho to have lessons OF
dairyinr brought home to them IN
j tangible form.

this special dairy train to carry to
the homes of ME farmers OF the great
| states to the westward the story or
the development of the dairy indus
try in the middle west and especial
| " in Wisconsin, the leading state IN
| this industry.
In some sections of the west grain
farming has not proved very proht-
| able in the past few years and many
farmers believe that in dairying lies
tn esuccess of the future. 1t is with
| the object of showing what dairy has
| ACCOMPLISHED in Wisconsin and what
it may accomplish in like manner for
| other states that this unique idea OF
q travelling dairy exhibit has been
planned.
Both pure-breds and grades will De
| included in the dairy animal exhibit

start out with purebreds of both
sexes i'm order to have good herd,
in the belief of dairy experts, for
the purchase of a few good grade
COWS and a pure bred sire will IN
sure a dairy stock that has been more
than profitable on dairy farms in
Wisconsin.
"On this train," said A. w. Hop
kins of the Wisconsin, college of
agriculture and probable director OF
the .Transcontinental Dairy Special,
eve are going to nave animals that
have won state and world records.
There will be three picked animals
from each of the following breeds,
Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey,
Holstein, and Jersey. Some Of the
animals that have records are grades
and others are pure-breds, but each
of them has ben chosen because OF
it's unusual history and merit as
representative of it's particular breed.
The train will travel over the Great
Northern in North Dakota.
