From HiuhIand County.

Mr.. E. A. Dudley, of Crab Bottom,
has recently purchased from Mr.. An
derson, of Greenbrier county, W. Va,
another full-blooded Hereford bull, for
his herd of fine Herefords' that he is
breeding up. Mr.. Dudley is a native
Augusta man and does not allow the
grass to grow under his feet, although
be lives in the bluegrass district.
Speaking of Hereford g, they are be-
coming very popular in Highland,
especially when crossed with our
short-horn COWS. The Herefords seem
to be heartier than shorthorns and fat
ten easier. Although cattle men of
this county have been trained that a
perfect short horn is our ideal of beau
beauty 1 think the Valley farmers
would find that it would pay many of
them we'll to get some of these full
blooded Hereford bulls. Just think of
it, Mr.. Dudley could have sold his
calves last fall for nearly $50 per head.
They were half breeds and more than
one half of the bunch were heifers.
The Monterey and Staunton Tele-
phone Company are extending thei1
line down Black Creek to Mill Gap.
Our winter is mild, wintering is
plentiful, and stock are doing we'll.
