NEW CASTLE. June 17.--Former |
Lew Court Commissioner Charles |
Meeeinson has a veritable gold mine
on his farm. He does not have to
send miners TO the depth of hundreds
Of feet in the ground and be troubled
with the washing process to get the
gold nuggets. His mine rs a herd OF
thoroughbred Holstein COWS. A rev
wears ago Mr. Megginson decided to
dispense with his ordinary COWS ana
put on his farm a stock OF thorough
bred Holsteins. Now he finds that
each miich COW is turning in a divi-
dend OF over S225 year. When
spoken to about his stock, Mr.. Meg
ginson said:
"Younp man. il is the same story.
A good man is the best human being
and good Holstein COW Is the best
COW. When a COW nets 800 IN milk
and $l25 TO $3.50 by the price OF a cali
each year there is surely no comment
70 be made but that such COW Is
a paying investment. Others may put
their faith in and get their dividends
from other breeds, but the thorough
bred Holstein is my choice. A herd
of Holsteins Is a first class bank,
with the owner as cashier, and every
day the grass grows so does the
dividend from the Hoisteins grow.
Mr.. Megginson is now unable TO NIL
the orders for calves, as pen who
purchased calves two years ago and
arain last year want more young
stock They are like Mrs. Angie
Crooks. Of Denver. Col, who now
owns a ranch. She started with one
COW and when her competitor in the
milk business moved away she bought
up all the milch COWS that she could
and acquired with the rest Of the
bunch. relic Of good old days Hol-
stein that later WAS found 20 be 20
years old She gave more milk than
anv of the grade cattle. despite her
advanced years. and that was the way
Mrs Crooks got interested in the
breed. After she had paid of the
debt on her herd and had begun to
make q good sized profit on the bust
ness. she made a trip TO Denver and
picked up a bunch OF Holsteins for
$500 About three years later she
sold that bunch OF Holsteins for three
times that amount. and from her
books she saw that she had realized
$4,000 on stock sold from them and
about $4,000 on cream and milk. de-
spite the fact that she was such a
distance from q good market.
