JERSY HERD IS
A MONEY MAKER
WHAT PRESIDENT 5ATcHELoR
OF FINGAL FIRST NATIONAL
BANK DID IN WAY OF MAKING
NET WITH HIS HERD DURING
MONTH OF JANUARY.

A net profit of $55 is what Charles
E. Bachelor secured from his herd of
twelve Jersey COWS at Ffngal for the:
month of January.
Mr.. Bachelor is president of the
First National bank of Fingal and in
addition to his duties in the bank has
found time to raise one of the finest
herds of Jerseys that has ever been
brought into the state. Sam F. Crabbe
Of this city, who has a fine herd, pur-
chased many of his from Mr.. Bachelor.
The Fingal bank president was in
the city today and was a caller on
President Weiser of the First National
and the two got to talking OF the cat
tie business in this tate.
DO YOU know" said Mr.. Bachelor,
that from my herd of twelve Jersey
COWS sold during the month of jan
uary Sill worth of cream and in addi-
ton supplied three families, the whole
amounting to about $131. Deducting
the interest on my investment and the
cost of keeping and other expenses,
this gave me clean profit OF just 500,
which 1 consider to be very good and
worth the work. just carry that news
to Sam Crabbe and see what he has
to say"
It would appear from the action Of
the recent State Dairymen's associa-
tion that the members thereof think a.
good deal of the Jersey COW and that
stock for at that meeting Mr.. Crabbe
was elected president and Mr.. Batche-
lor vice president of the association
and they are both Jersey STOCK ralsers'
Mr.. Batchelor believes that the Jer-
sey stock will prove to be among the
best that the North Dakota farmer can
raise, although for beef purposes they
are of course not the best. But for
general purposes he thinks the Jer-
sey will meet the requirements. He
takes a great deal of pride in his hend
and stated that Sam Crabbe, at the
last state fair. was enabled to carry
off 500 in premiums through the Jer-
sew stock and boasts of the fact that
he sold Mr.. Crabbe the greater part of
the herd with which he started in the
business.
