Now that the dairy question is
being agitated here it will pay
our farmers to look into the
matter of improving their cattle.
The stock question has been
receiving considerable attention
of late years and Camas Prairie
farmers are now raising some as
fine horses and hogs as can be
found anywhere but the cattle
have been neglected, principally
because they have been raised
for market alone and with no
thought of dairy purposes. In
future, however, they will be
called upon to serve a double
purpose and good dairy and beef
a nimals will come at a premium.
That the dairy business will be-
come.an important one here all
will admit and it is one that
means a great deal of money to
the farmer who will handle it
intelligently. Consequen thy the
first and most important question
is that of improving the cattle to
meet the new conditions and
other questions will be met and
solved as they arise.
