In 1911 F. ]. Stephenson of Buchan-
an county received yearly income
OF $50 per COW from his dairy herd,
while his neighbors in the same peri
cd realized only $40 from each COW in
their herds. This difference was di-
rectly due to the influence Of an Iowa
state college short course which Mr..
Stephenson attended few years ago
1t was there that he first saw Hol-
stein COW and first heard Of silo. He
was greatly impressed with the large
strong, heavy producing black and
white cows and Immediately decided
to have some of his own.
Accordingly. soon after arriving
home, he held public sale and dis
posed of all the dual purpose ami
mails which he then owned. The
money received was invested in grade
Holstein cows. The sale price of two
Shorthorns just paid for one Holstein.
thus leaving him only ten COWS in the
place of the 20 which he formerly
owned
The following August he had a silo
constructed at great cost. as both
material and labor had to be pro-
cured from distance. 1t was also
necessary to import silage cutter
from from the adjoining county. This
meant the expenditure of quite a sum
of money. and as result his neigh
bors became skeptical and were in.
clined to doubt the wisdom of the out
lay.
That winter Mr. Stephenson fed his
Holsteins on silage and bran, together
with supplementary feeds such az
hay, fodder and small amount OF
corn. This plan of feeding was radio
ally different from, the usual method
of the vicinity and again the neigh
bcrs wondered.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1914-05-28

However, Mr.. Stephenson stuck to
his purpose and waited for the next
pay check. When it came he was sur
prised even beyond his greatest hopes,
for the ten Holsteins on silage had
produced greater amount of butter
fat than had the 20 Shorthorns during
the same month of the year before.
The next pay check was even larger.
while those of his neighbors gradually
| dwindled away as winter progressed.
This fact caused the people of the
community to sit up and take notice
and hereafter the dollars of this farm
er were watched with the greatest in.
terest.
The following spring Mr.. Stephen
son added six grade cows, three pure
bred heifers and purebred sire to his
herd. Another silo was also found to
be necessary. From this time on his
success was remarkable and before
the end of that year he had won HE
neighbors over to his side.
The third year he was able to re-
place six of his grades with pure
breds and was also supplying his
neighbors with purebred Holstein
bulls The farmers Of the community
were also anxious to obtain his grade
COWS and he received good price for
all he had to sell.
Last year, the fifth after the short
course, there were few silos in the
community, and this year there ara
more than rs silos where six Year,
ago there was only one.
The farmers as whole are more
progressive. the creamery is coop.
erative institution and is proving
highly successful. while there is
growing interest in purebred stock
OF all kinds.
