We have for sale 6 1000 acres Of the
famous Ed. c.. Lasater's Falfurrias ranch
in farms of 40 acres and upwards. Con-
sidering. location, quality Of soil, high pro-
ductivity, salubrity Of climate, railroad
facilities, ETC., Copita prairie lands are the
cheapest offered for sale in the United
States today. Basing our belief on the
past performances in the developing OF the
country surrounding this section, we be-
lieve we are conservative in stating that
the 81, 900 acres we have for sale will in
crease in value during the next decade 20
per cent or more annually, as the result of
the development now under way. The
value of Mr.. Lasater's Jersey dairy herd
(25O0) to the dairy industry in the Fal-
furrias country can not be over estimated;
can not be fully reckoned. The cows,
both graded and registered, are as good
as can be purchased anywhere. They are
ed. They are tested, and the profit max
ing value of each cow is a matter of rec
ord. Mr.. Lasater is selling his tested cows
to the farmers for reasonable prices. He
sells cows on time. The farmer applying
two-thirds of the daily butter fats sale on
the purchase price of the cows. and re-
tain one-third to pay running expenses
until the cows are paid for. 1t is all there.
It's waiting, and a farmer can get firmly
established in the dairy business on Copita
prairie in the Falfurrias country in a short
er space of time, and on a smaller amount
of cash than in any section OF which we
have heard. As an indication OF the ex-
c~elle1ce Of the animals heading this herd,
the following is worthy of special mention:
Falfurrias Jerseys won thirty-three first
prizes; nine championships and eight
grand championships at the National Dairy
Show, S~heibyville, KY. The Ohio. Ken

nineteen first prizes, Junior champion bull.

heifer, and seignor and grand champion
COW, at the State Fair of Texas in 1912.
This record has never been excelled, It
equalled.
The Falfurias Jersey Dairy Company
j is incorporated with a paid up capital OF one
million dollars; The Falfurrias Jersey Dali
ry Company is now operating nine diaries.
at each of which diaries about one hundred
cows are MIXED: a total of about nine
hundred lows being MIXED at this time.
A careful record is kept of each cow s milk
and butter fat production, and all cows that
do not return a profit are disposed OF for
beef purposes. Only tested cows are sold
to the farmers of the community. Given
usual attention these cows will produce 275
pounds of butter fat per annum. The milk
from all the diaries is hauled to two princi-
pal separating stations to be separated. A
part of the separated milk is fed to calves;
the balance is fed to hogs. The cream is
