Farmers Are Improving Their
Dairy Herds.

many hearers. and If present indi-
cations may be accepted as a prom
Use for the future, We may rest as
sured that it will not be long be-
fore Aberdeen will be known as a
dairy center.
Several farmres have already es-
tablished the nucleus for good dairy
herds and others are making plans
in that direction. The greatest OBJ
staele in the way at present time is
the excessive cost OF grade and
pure bred cattle. Those who own
such stock do not want to sell and
the prospective purchaser must ne
essaryly go 300 miles from home TO
find the right sort of stock. No
where can good dairy cattle be pur-
chased cheaply and when trans
portation chages are added even
the ordinary mixer would cost 800
or more.
In the face of these facts there
are, however, several local farmers
who are planning Z o cooperate in
the purchase OF a car load of good
cattle and IL may be that a trip will
soon be made by one or more of
these men to eastern Washington or
q Cashe valley. Utah, in search of the
right kind of stock.
Among those most deeply inter
