Nebraska's first dairy train has
visited Alliance and neighboring
owns, In "swingln" around the cir
cle," and has left an Indelible im
press upon the communities visited
and the country aa a wbole. The
success of the enterprise is far by
yond the expectations of its pro
moters and most sanguine support
ers. For some years past, there ba3
been a great awakening in Nebras
ka, and particularly the northwest
ern part, to the importance of se
curing greater returns for the labor
and money expended in agriculture.
Following this line of development
has brought an In rease In the
amojnt of dairying, and now the
farmers and dairymen are beins
shown that the profits from their
cows can be multiplied by improve
ments that can be easily made.
It was expected thait there would
be a fair attendance, but the large
crowds that met the train and greet
ed the lecturers gave all inter?3te'i
parlies a very agreeable surprise.
The train reached Crawford over
the North-Wes'ern on Saturday and
S.jpdayed there. Leaving Crawford
over the Burlington Monday morn
ing, the first stop was at Belmont
on Pine Ridge, where a hundred
peo?i'ekhad assembled notwithstand
ing he early hour. Probably two
hundred vnd fifty people were out
a Marsland and as the train pro
ceeded south the size of the crowds
In (reaped. Hemlngfcrd and the
surrojndins country turned out
rnoie tun seven hundred strong,
headed by the brass band. The
tvo lecture cars were tilled and an
overflow meeting held outside Al
though a larger crowd assembled nt

on the route wbre a greater Inter
cut has been n a nl tested than at
Haiuingford Inf. Gregg dropped
off there for an afternoon meetimj.
coming on to AMiance by auto In
the evening.
The first altcrnoon meeting was
at Bridgeport, Mth a good attend
ance and good interest. Angora be
ing a small town, the surrounding
country sparsely settled and th
people Interested mostly In ranching
It was expected the attendance there
would be small, but to the surprise
of all on the train more than t
hundred people greeted them upon
th.Mr arrival. Mr. Bushoetl, the
press representative, remarked
The Herald: "It was a remarkable
meeting, one of the best we hi
had. Farmers and homesteaders
were very much interested."

soil, the way it conserves fertili y.
Is carried home with emphasis. ;
Mu h importance is given ii ta-J
leciures to the value of weeding out
poor cows from dairy herds. MMk!
producers are urged to weigh the
milk and keep a rceord of what thi
cow produces. Also to test the
milk, testing It for Is butter fat
quality, and In this way get com
plete Information of the value of 'ne
cow aa a producer. Examples are

the weeding out process. Another
point urged Is the importance of the

pending on Colorado mines for fuel

Governor Amnions today notified
