milk from Denglerls grade Guernsey

man that the Bahcock test might tell
him Things. -. ,, - .sn

home near timbered stream. We all
agreed that prairie land was not desir-
able property because timber for its
development would never be available.

prairie homes unprotected by the shell

awful winter weather of the west
