BUYING HNFERS IN NEW YORK.
tCor. Algona Republican,
Now Mr.. Editor did not intend
to write so much but you know me, SO
fully understand. One OF the surpris-
ing things Is how these people make
farming pay; anyway surprising until
one looks under the surface. Talk
about being lonely. not for me. A little
COW man would die OF grief and lone
someness here. have seen thousands
of Hoistein cows. two Jerseys and one
lone Guernsey. What a sad heart my
friend Quarton would have riding
along these valleys and over the hills
with not Guernsey in sight. 'Tis sad.
it surely is. but 1t is true. The Hol-
stein COW has captured the dairy coun-
try OF all the east, down in Ohio, Indi-
ana. Michigan. Illinois. Wisconsin,
Minnesota and the Dakotas There is
reason. She is queen Of all the dairy
breeds. Test her in what way YOU will
she always leads. until now she stands
in class by herself. the greatest pro-
Queer of milk. butter, cheese and in
total net profit per cow. She is big
and strong. and can stand more hard
knocks, better able to stand up under
average treatment and give better re-
suits than any breed on earth.
Now. Mr. Editor. am down here
in quest OF young heifers 10 take back

But I am having my troubles. They

them, and most buyers do. So soon az

interviewed at once. Now I am here
to make a close personal inspection
Of the cattle buy. so am going out
among the farmers who have from one
to five to sell. I look the heifers and
their dams over and even get him to
show me pedigree or certificate Of

to get good heifers. I have found a

to the cattle dealer and the man who

are high grade stock. when in fact they
are actually no better than scrubs.
Again, these big dealers want their
