ty view when observed through tho
nearby valloys. The splondid pure
bred Pcrchcron horses, Hereford cat
tle and Poland China hogs brought
many favorable comments from thoso
present on this first stop.
Tho new houso nt tho Henry
O'Neill farm east of Jackson was
next visited. All wero glad of this
opportunity to visit this now andup-to-di.to
homo with all of its modern
ect , i iont. Everyone must havo
liu'. nvinccd that it is possiblo to
havv. ...i tho conveniences of a city
resldenco In a country homo without
tho numerous disadvantages.
At tho Chas. Blessing farm the
new house also proved tho center of
attraction. Whllo tho building is
not quite so large as tho O'Neill
homo it is modern throughout nnd
has some features different from
thoso found in tho first. Tho silo
and herd of Holstcln cattlo wero of
special interest to all tho men.
Tho picnic dinner was eaten on tho
lawn at tho Blessing farm. Rev. S.
A. Draise of Dakota City, gave an
address which was appreciated by all.
The entire crowd entered heartily
into the singing wnich consisted of
several songs especially for Farm
Bureau gatherings. Mrs. Blessing
treated tho picnickers to good hot
coffeo and real separator cream.
Hardly had they had time to drink
their coffee when Charley commenced
passing tho cigars. Then in conclu.
sion Guy Manning nnd Chas. Young
of Walker's Islandemptied a gunny
sack full of Rocky Fords on tho grass
and invited tho crowd to take hold.
Although wo wero at this place over
two hours, tho time passed too quick
ly for us all.
Tho Herman Ebel farm was tho
first Eton of tho afternoon. Tho
largo houso was first inspected and
next tho 'new barn Tho men. ores.
bnemmtt&uiutnlmousvi nUtawtlnc
tho barn tho best in tHo county;
lioin men ana women wero interest
ed in tho dairy hord, and especially
in some ot tno nigh producing cows.
For tho past year Mr. Ebel has bcon
weighing his milk nnd having it
tested at intervals by tho County
Agent. This work revealed somo
very interesting facts as wero set
forth by Mr. D. H. Propps, State
Dairy Specialist, who talked 6n tho
subject. Tho highest producing
cow of tho herd has only been milk
ed nine months, but in that timo pro
duced 12.GG6 pounds of milk nnd
gives promise to yield in tho noljjh-
ijornooa oi iu.uuu pounus during tno
year. Her butter fat tests show
that sho will yield at loast COO
pounds of butter. When wo remem
ber that tho average cow only pro
duces 140 pounds of butter in nyoar
wo readily begin to realize that this
is an unusually good cow. Mr. Ebel
also has somo other high yielding
cows.
Tho caponizing demonstration at
tho Ebel farm by Miss Florence At
wood, tho County Homo Demonstra
tion Agont, was very interesting to
both men and women. Tho work
was dono in n way that would bo a
credit to an old hand at tho job.
Tho inspection of tho hord of Ches
ter Whito hogs and tho boys pig
judging contest weru objects of par
ticular interest at tho A. W. Ilolkes
farm. Thirteen hoys entered tho
contest for tho three prizes of threo,
two and ono dollars. Two classes
of pigs woo judged by tho boys,
