DAIRY cows ARRIVE.
The Wendell Shipment Pass Through
Here Saturday Evening.

cows that was enroute from Wisconsin t.
Idaho, has reached its destination, anc
on Saturday evening five cars of thi.
train passed through Jerome over the
Short Line, enroute to Wendell. On
Sunday, Mr.. W. j. Youngs, of the Ster-
ling Dairy Products Co., of Twin Falls.
who accompanied the train, passed thru
Jerome enroute home, after seeing the
COWS safely landed at Wendell.
Mr.. Youngs states that the trip through
was very satisfactory one and that the
cows stood it fine. He is very much elat-
ed over the success of this last under
taking and is firmly OF the opinion that
this shipment is the finest lot OF dairy
cows that ever came over the divide.
This opinion is also expressed by Mr..
f. V. Ellington, of the dairy department
OF the State University, who accompanied
Mr.. Youngs and assisted him in selecting
the cattle. Upon his return to Boise, in
an interview with Statesman reporter.
Prof. Ellington stated that they had pur-
chased 3O6 cows on the trip at cost of
Sl7 200, and that the state of Wisconsin
was secured for the best dairy cattle to
be had.
II believe this shipment-the greatest
ever sent out OF Wisconsin-is but the
beginning of bigger things to come" de-
clared Mr.. Ellington.
"The enterprise of the farmers of Ida
no in this matter, created sensation in
Wisconsin. The papers were full OF the
proposition for several days. When the
special train pulled out of the station at
Fort Atkinson on its long trip across rhe
western plains, streamers telling OF Ida
hos enterprise. placarded every car.
Along the line the streamers told the
story OF the states awakening TO the inn
portance OF the dairying interests. Pho
tographs OF the special were taken and
printed in some OF the papers OF the
east.
'With the state veterinarian we spent
days riding over the country selecting the
cattle. In some places we selected five.
and other places as high as % animals
for the shipment. Where we thought
We had struck IA herd especially fine, we
bought the owner out. Our sole object
was the selection OF high grade stock, and
| believe we have that kind.
''Our herd consists of the best known
breeds of dairy cattle We bought l5s
Holsteins, los Guernseys and 43 Jerseys
One thing struck me more forcibly in
Wisconsin than anywhere else. We are
right now as far advanced in the dairy |
industry as Wisconsin is with all of its
years OF experience.
Il came back home more enthusiastic
than ever over the advantages of this
state in dairying, and | believe that this
trip is but the first OF those coming annu-
ally from now on"
We take this occasion to heartily con-
graduate our farmers around Wendell in
being able to secure this high class of
dairy stock, as it means much to the
tract in general. 1t is gratifying to know
that substantial start is being made
along dairy lines, and with class ofsuch
high grade stock as a foundation it will
only be few years when the North Side
tract will be capturing blue ribbons on
It's DAIRY products, as it has in the past
On many OF our other products.
This section with its 4O-acre tracts has
been looked upon as sort of garden
patch by the farmer who was Possessed
1f several hundred acres in the east Tho
OF the past winter, however
show that the little garden patches of
southern Idaho have produced an annie
supply OF feed to keep this eastern farmer :
Win his broad acres, from allowing his
took to starve. When it is known more
that this section offers superior
inducements for dairying and stock rails 5
ng there will be much greater demand
or land in this section by the eastern
armer who imagines he must have GOV
raj hundred acres of land to accomnl;sh Z
ny results. :
