TWENTY HEAD OF
Pure BRED STOCK
Shipped to Warren to Improve
Farmers Herds in this
Vicinity.

j. S. Hilleboe and w. G. Miller ar
rived Monday with a carload of pure
bred stock purchased in southern
Minnesota for farmers in this vicin
ity. At Tyler, Lincoln CO., Mimi,
Messrs Hilleboe and Miller found
what they wanted in the stock line.
The country around there has many
Dane farmers, who are experienced
stockraisers and have splendid herds.
The local paper, The Tyler Herald,
speaks of the visit Of the Warren
gentlemen as follows:
AT the Commercial Club meeting
Tuesday night, J. S. Hilleboe and
William Miller Of Warren, Minnesota
were the guests Of honor. These
two gentlemen are farmers living
near Warren and are officers Of a
live stock association formed in that
community. Mr.. Hilleboe and Mr.
Miller went to DR.. Ward Estate We
terinarian) asking that he direct
them to a part Of Minnesota where
they had a good veterinarian and
where they could buy some choice
live stock for breeding purposes for
themselves and for several other
members Of their local association.
Our state veterinarian directed them
to DR.. Rasmussen Of Tyler, assuring
them that he was a very capable and
reliable man in every way and that
he would find for them just what
they desired.
It may be Of interest to the read
ers to know that these gentlemen
purchased car load of pure bred
registered holstein, red -polled and
shorthorn cattle in this community.
These cattle were bought at long
prices and the buyers showed ex-
lceedingly good judgment in buying.
Among some Of the animals bought
were descendants Of the famous Far
mer's Farm Herd which has been
bought at a long price by Walter.
1 Hill (son Of James j. Hill). It may
be safely said that these prices paid
AbY Miller and Hilleboe were lower
than those paid by Walter Hill, yet
as good cattle were probably pur-
j chased right in this community.
i The cattle purchased, will be distri-
buted among farmers in the COM
rnunity of Warren which is in the
Red River Valley and will beyond all
doubt create a desire for more stock
of these breeds. Therefore it may
not be the last time that we will see
these estimable gentlemen
The sale was participated in by
! all Of our live stock breeders each
furnishing a few head to make out a
car load. 1t was harder to get the
I breeders to sell than the buyers to
! buy. They realize that they might
utilize all their breeding animals.
! ! Those selling were K. j Knud. Chr.
In. Norgaard, Jorgen Johansen, N. N.
