ance. 1t is now called the Cohn
Ranch Consolidated being several
: ranches under one head with 1000
acres Of splendid land mostly under
cultivation.
Dutch Fred small garden spot
is net far from here, and the bray of
his sportive ass can be heard rollck
ing about in his big meadow.
There is splendid view from
this point, along the Carson river.
Far as the eve can reach appears a
prolific growth Of grain, hay. fruit
in fact all that 90 to make ranch
production. This years crop will
exceed every expectation.
The farms of Cohn, Dangberg
and Martin being most prominent
in this vicinity. The COIN prop
erty is divided into 3 parasitic
Home, Brood aud Dairy farms
| These ranches we visited in com
pany with some distinguished
Home rulers. This piece Of prop
erty is managed by NJ COIN Of
| Carson, and very creditably too.
AT the Home station, NJ. COIN
has his grist mill in splendid work
ing condition, and it does a Ne
yadan's heart good to note the
quantity OF -four 1t turns out. Mr..
Hawkins. who has charge of the
mill, is very thorough, and we look
to see our grain growers of the val
ley and elsewhere take their grain
to his door. The mill has a capac-
ity of 10 tons per day, i. e. can
turn out that much first rate flour.
IL would seem from this that the
utility of shipping -four from Cali
fornia for Nevada's needs might
now be held as not practical. Bust
ness economy suggests this much.
From the mill we ran down behind
a spanking team (bred on the ranch)
to the Breeding station and found
things epluribu. No one had eyer
been known to get his eyes on the
spotted Jack who is at this place
master of ceremonies without en-
larging his admiration for mulish
beauty. 1t ain t the kick, but the
wisdom which adorns the nature
and objects of this 1000 dollar
beast that sets him up in the mind
of his owner for so great value.
We can never forget his bugle note
when his boss approached him.
Then there is the stallion Kent.
He is full stopper when his dander
is up and he is on the right course
His gait is 2:35. The jumbo Dick,
a dapple bay, IS 4 sun downer. He
is draught animal, second to
none in the State.
This point of the ranch is mod
died after the Eastern plan, and |
under the management of a fore
man, who chokes with emotion |
when dissenting upon the amiable |
qualities of the spotted mule"
The dairy station would be de |
light to the heart of an angry |
housewife for its splendid sanitary
condition. Here is where the de-
lectable Cohn butter is made; and
such cream.
To US, the management here did
turn our prior theories and specu
lations of butter making, for every
thing was as neat as wax. Even
the cows had diffused among them
a splendid sanitary idea. 1t is the
rule of this dairy farm that they
battle in the Carson river at least
once a day, and they conform
strictly to it. This accounts for
their very healthy and sleek look
At this branch Mr.. Cohn manu-
features about 4UAfbs of butter
every week that makes the average
housekeeper feel only too good.
He will soon be in the cheese line,
then look out for pungent tastes
This branch is presided over by an
expert in butter and cheese max
ing, whs has made these two points
the study of his life. He has had
several medals awarded him.
