Does raising stock pay? John Burgh-
durf, of Adams townahip, has a three
fourths Durham and one-iourth Hereford
cow that in the spring Of 1896 dropped a
hoiisr calf which, AZ the age Of 90
months, wss sold to John Bowditcl, of
Jefferson. II weighed 1920 pounds aud
brought $50 30. The Same COW in the
spring OF 1897 dropped twins, one OF
which at 10 months old was sold to Mr.
VanAtts, or Branch county, for $50. Mr..
3. has the other or hand and it is not
for sale. After tho first week these calves
were raised on SKINNED milk. This Is
pretty conclusive evidence that 1t pays
to raise good stock.
