dairy cows and reduce expenses The
COWS we bought cost $500 apiece, bu-
they are pure bred. guaranteed against
! tuberculosis and to be satisfactory.
sam B. GilIett, Of Gilletfs dairy, has
seen our cows and Bays we did not
pay too much for them He says he
has paid as high as $500 for pure bred
COWS and $3.50 for grade cows, and
that at those relative prices, the pure
bred cows are five times as cheap.

saw our herd. and then said he thought
the commissioners did right in buying
a registered herd He expressed the
belief that one OF our cows is worth
$500. Thomas Franklin, OF the FL PasO
dairy. inspected the COWS, and says
he considers they are well worth the
price paid for them. DR.. r A. Higgins,
