Don't it pay to raise good stock?
0. NJ. Bovee, of Anita, Iowa, a former
resident of this town, who is engaged
in raising Hereford cattle, in sending
us his subscription, says: g" sold an
eight months old bull calf, weight $50
pounds, for $500; a five months old
bull for $3.50, and all my half-blcod
bull calves for $50 a head" What do
our farmers think of this? And how
much more does it cost to raise good
stock than scrub? We are sure that
many of our readers will be glad to
learn that Mr.. Bovee is doing well.
