Dairy Special Thru Rensselaer.

> Prof. G. I. Christie, superintend ent of the agricultural extension department of the Purdue experiment station, announces that a special dairy train will be run over the Monon railroad December 9 to 13. He says: The dairymen of Indiana will be interested to learn that arrangements have been completed for running a dairy special over the lines of the Monon railroad. This is a purely educational move; the result of co-operation on the part of the Monon, the Purdue experiment station and the State Dairy Association. The train will be. furnished and operated by the rail road company, the illustrative matter and speakers being provided by the Purdue experiment station

and the State Dairy Asaocation. Stope of forty five minutes will be made at impoHant statibns on the System and instructive talks will be given upon dairy farming. The rapidly increasing demand or milk to supply the needs for direct consumption and manutact uring purposes makes necessary on the part of the producers more specific knowledge of the principles underlying its economical production. The presence of large cities in all parts of the State naturally gives rise to more or less dairing in these puts, and it is for purpose of assisting all thus engaged that this effort is being made. Thru the train it is hoped that the dairymen of northern, central and southern Indiana will be reached in a very effective manner. Reasons for engaging in daily ing and the ways by which it can be made most profitable will be definitely

pointed out. Improved methods n home dairying will also be discussed. Members of the dairy department of the experiment station and representatives of the. State Dairy Assocation will have charge of the lecture. No man or woman : nterested in dairying should miss the opportunity trf hearing the •ctures and receiving the printed iteiature. Rensselaer will be visited and the date and time will be announced so soon as the arrangements are completed.
