Judge R. B. Little is acquiring
fame not only as jurist, but as a
farmer and breeder of fine cattle as
well. When the Judge is not on the
bench or in his Office he can general |
ly be found on his farm, and his I
personal interest and attention is re-
sulting in bumper crops and fine
blooded cattle. He has herd of 10
Holsteins, and lately
two of the COWS were given a seven
day milk test by State College man,
which resulted in their winning ad-
vanced register records. Not many
cows in the county have been bred up
to that point, and it is a special mark |
of quality, as we'll as quantity, of |
milk and breeding. Eugene Otis is
the competent manager in charge of
the herd.-Montrose Independent
