is altogether a rich man’s hobby,
though a large part of it is common

With the dairy herd one of the
bams is strictly a commercial pro-
position ,and the feed growing pro-

their own benefit.
Alfalfa is being grown on soil that

I find the manager, Mr. Schroeder,
always courteous and ready to show
these demonstrations to the people.
We have agreed that some time dur-

be held at this place, and he will put

not these experiments are profitable.
