FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



Two clubs are starting in Middlefield 

 this winter for the first time for several 

 years. 



Donald Pease, a former club member, 

 is to lead a handicraft club of six or 

 seven boys. 



SECOND ANNUAL 4-H DAIRY 

 CLUB MEETING, JAN. 22 



Parents Especially Invited 



On Saturday, January 22, 1927, the 

 Hampshire County Dairy Club holds its 

 second winter meeting at the Extension 

 Service Rooms at 59 Main St., North- 

 ampton. 



We would like to extend a special in- 

 ' vitation to every parent, guardian, or 

 other friend who is interested in Dairy 

 Club work. The program has been ar- 

 ranged to be of interest and to be in- 

 structive to any one interested in Dairy 

 cows, with R. A. Payne showing slides of 

 Alfalfa fields, C. J. Fawcett, giving a few 

 pointers on "Winter Feeding", and last, 

 but by no means least, Dr. Lentz of the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College, giv- 

 ing his well known talk on "Health in 

 the Dairy Herd." Dr. Lentz has some 

 very interesting figures on the use of 

 powdered milk in feeding calves, that will 

 be of special interest. 



Every dairy club member in the coun- 

 ty should come to help elect officers for 

 this year, besides li-stening to a program 

 that every one is intei-ested in. Every 

 one that thinks he can run or jump 

 should come prepared to enter some 

 games, races, etc., that will be held at 

 the close of the program.
