Fifty-one Cows
In Dairy Herd:
Heavy Producing Faxn
BY Bert Tabor

Out near Olney Springs what
might be termed brand new"
dairy is springing up as II it were
done in a night. This dairy is that
owned by Bert Tabor and will hence
forth be known as the Star Dairy
ranch. Not long ago one passing the
place and noting the house which
was then being made ready for occu
pancy might have taken 1t from the
looks of the immediate surrounding
to be a homesteader who had fled
on a piece of land, but go by there
now and you will see comfortable
dwelling house, a good COW barn and
a big silo besides a lot of other i'm
provements. But best of all is herd
of fifty-one fine grade Holstefn cows
in the corrals at the barn.
Mr. Tabor has been milking COWS
for the past two years. That is, he
has been edging into the dairy busi-
ness during that time. Thirteen OF
his COWS were bought in Pueblo and
not long ago he bought ten more
from a car load shipped to La Junta
and then as recently he added twen-
ty-eight head to his herd by q pur-
chase from A. L. Butcher. This gives
him hfty-one head, and they are
high grade bunch. all of them excel
lent producers and some of them we'll
up to top-Dotchers.
Mr. Tabor is getting over 100 gal
Ions of milk a day now and when the
balance OF his cows freshen he will
have a product of from 40 to $50
gallons. The milk is shipped to
Pueblo. where he gets 80 cents gal
Ion for it. The milking is done early
enough in the morning to catch the
early morning train west into Pueblo.
On the Tabor ranch of thirty acres
enough feed is raised to take care Of
this herd of cows. He attributes the
heavy crop yields to the manure
which he has put on the land and as
an illustration of what this fertilizer
does he raised twenty tons of ensil-
age to the acre on a sixteen-acre
field. Other crops have done equally
as well and small field of alfalfa
turned out big yield of hay. Mr..
Tabor proposes to keep dairy cows
and thus keep his land enriched
/ thereby. greatly increasing his prof.
/ its.

faster" and a few minutes after that

demonstrated at each succeeding per-
Torrance by their applause and the
cheers of approval Both Messrs.
Nickel and Driesen, the men who are
plotting the good ship Folly into
popular favor were overwhelmed with
congratulary kilograms from we'll
wishers upon the launching of their
