dollars have been expended in this di
rection and under the direction OF Mr..
Krebs himself and his manager, w. w.
Blake Arkcoll a recognized and sue

COWS on the place, giving from 800 to

1000 cubic feet Of air space. All are
tuberculin tested and in perfect condi-
ton. In addition 10 the milk COWS there
are 25 calves in a calf barn Just as
