The Grantsville correspondent of The
Republican, of Myersdale, Pa, has this
to say of visit made to one of our
Garrett county farmers; Mr. and Mrs
Frank B. Black and little son John, and
Mrs. W. S. Livengood, of Meyersdale,
Pa. fitted through town in Mr.. Black s
Cadillac and stopped at "Gnagey Farm
/ for an hour to look at Samuel Hersh-
berger's fine herd of Jerseys, his up-to-
date silo and other handy feeding ar
engagements, for all of which Gnagey
Farm is noted. Mrs. Black, who is d
successful farmer herself, and Mr..
Hershberger were soon deep in the
subject of the breeding of high-grade
Jersey cows and all that pertains to
successful dairyfarming, and it goes
without saying that both were benefited
by the exchange of opinions and
experiences. The party returned to
Meyersdale via Niverton and Salisbury
after very pleasant afternoons out
ing, not the least ENJOYABLE feature of
which was the visit to Mr.. Hersh-
berger's model dairy farm.
