anybody interested in fine cattle. Ii
borders the western limits of the city
and stretches down the Kankakee to
the extent of thousand acres with soil
as black and rich as the gold sands OF
California. The farm is owned by Mr..
Glenn Studebaker, and managed by Mr..
Frank H. johnson. A portion OF the
farm is devoted to agriculture, but
larger share is range for stock. The
business of the place includes dairy
which utiIizes the milk from 264 grade
COWS. in addition to that from the
thoroughbreds. A creamery is located
across the road from the stables where
the surplus cream is turned IN to butter,
and the SKINNED milk makes up part
of the food of the calves and younger
cattle. OF the calves over one hundred
and thirty have been dropped since the
Ist of March. They are largely from |
grade COWS by Hereford sires, and the |
young bulls are to be shipped to the !
Colorado stock ranges In which the |
Studebakers are interested.
