June 1909 and the practice that now
calls him to every confine of the
Welsh country, and frequently be-

blief years that have since elasped.
He was born in Rapides parish, La,
in 1881 and after attending the public

In addition to his many other lines

To the intelligent, energetic pro-

settled on his farm three miles NORM
of Welsh. which through intelligent
farming, and the application OF pro-
gressiye methods he has increased

time. Mr.. Cosner takes advanced

lie of cattle in this locality has nearly
doubled within the past five years. To
make our meaning clear in this line
md show the actual increase in ca tie
values due to breeding only, and
not to the general advance in cattle
throughout the entire country, we
would site the fact that before the
present campaign was begun for
better stock, the cattle of this section
of the state were practically the same
as they were in contiguous territory,
and were worth the same on the
market. Now while all cattle are
worth perhaps fifty per cent more
chan they were then, the cattle in this
locality, that have been graded with
the better breeds are worth nearly
double as individuals on the market,
what cattle of similar ages from sec
tons not so graded bring.
