Dairy Cows
Cor-only
Oregon Agrcultural College,
vails. Ore., Oct. "There are
four breeds of special dairy cows that
are really worth considering by dairy
men of bis state." says Dr. James
Withycombe. director of the Colllege
ExperimenUl Station. "These four
are the Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein and
the Ayrshire. Each of these breeds pos
sess a superior adaptability to certain
conditions.
"On the small farm or on high priced
land where the production of batter fat
is the principal object the Jersey is the
best. If the production of high class
milk for city trade is desired, no breed
surpasses thaGuenrsey. Guernsey milk
is highly colored and excellently
flavored. In sections where there is
an abundance of cheap feed, and milk
is to be produced for condensing or
cheese making, no other breed equals
that veritable milk machine, the Hot
stein. Under more rugged pasture
conditions where a good quantity of
milk is desired without heavy grain
feeding the Aythira is the cow that
fills the bill."
The Redmen's Hall at Yankton is
rapidly nearing completion. Tilli- j
cum Tribe feel so elated over the
rapid progression of the work that
they have decided to have a basket
social on Saturday evening, Oct. 25.

will be one of the attractions.
Songs and ghost drills will also at
tract. The large hall will be
decorated with trees resembling a
well kept garden and distributed
among the trees will be tables of
delieious things to eat Every
body come out and enjoy an evening
with us.
