If you plan to sow alfalfa next
spring and want to get some of the
guaranteed, pure Grimm seed, free

order before january LIST with one of
the six cow testers in the count. y,
your banker or send the order direct
to me. We want to purchase this
seed in January before the price goes

livered between 43 to As cents a
pound. Some seed houses are quoting
pure Grimm seed at so cents pound

where else, be sure that it is free
from noxious weed seeds. Ii you buy
Grimm seed you should require an

Ten Feeding Schools were held the
past week in various parts of the
county. 1t is the first time that any
thing like this has been tried out but
Judging from the attendance consid-
cradle interest was shown in the
meetings.. The average attendance
was 25, which was much larger than
we expected. Mr.. c. H.. Imig, Far
mer's Institute Conductor, and
practical farmer in Portage County
led in the discussion of care and
feeding the dairy COW. Time was
taken to figure out few rations fed
by different farmessto their dairy
cows. The new feeding bulletin, by
Humphrey & Morrison was also ey
planned and distributed to thos pres
ent. IL was found in figuring these
rations that farmers having corn
silage and good alfalfa hay w, I'D
not have to purchase very much high
protein feed such as bran or oil meal.
We are the second county in the state
holding such meetings and they GER
tainly proved very profitable to the
formers attending. We plan to con-
tinue this work next fall. These
meetings were held in church Ease-
ments, school houses and farm homes,
so that farmers in those communities
did not have to go very far to at
tend the meetings. Places at which
meetings We're held and attenda
at each: Martell Church 8; Andrew
Norgaards 18; Esdale 40; Abe Leon
ards SO; River Falls Is; James Cot
ter "a; Stockholm, a. III. Is; p. m.
