HOLSTEINS OF HIGH ORDER
TO Be SOLD HERE MAY 10

The James Mullen herd which shall
be dispersed at Watertown, Wis. on
Friday, May 10, offers an exceptional
ly good opportunity to purchase Hol-
stems of a very high order. OF course
this claim is made in connection with
most sales. But in this case 1t is a
very easy task to establish the fact In
the first place Mr.. Mullen has been
breeding Holsteins for years-not only
breeding them but breeding them in
diligently, selecting his bulls with the
greatest of care, studying his work in
detail with a view to combine individ-
| uality with production, and he has
succeeded splendidly, as a review OF
his herd will readily indicate. The
| foundation COW of the present herd
combines the blood of Colantha 4th Jo-
hanna and De Kol Burke. On this cow
| without ensilage or beets and with no
special fitting Mr.. Mullen placed "a
pounds of butter-three Of her daugh-
ters-the only ones tested-made two
26 pound records>and - pound three
year record. Under proper conditions
these animals should make 80 pounds,
as matter of fact. A cow similarly
| bred, sold by Mr.. Mullen, made 80
pounds of butter.
Among the descendants of this
strain of breeding in the herd can be
found 10 year daughters of Homestead
Junior De KoI; IL granddaughter OF
Aaggie Cornucopia Johanna Lad Ju-
ior-the only one tested in this group
made II pounds as junior two year
old, and she was tested under cOndi-
tons stated above. They are as nice a
lot of young animals as you ever saw ;
and then there are sons and daughters
of Sir Johanna Fayne Homestead,
numbering ten, that are hard to fault.
Sir Johanna Fayne Homestead is by a
20 pound son of Fobes Tritomia Mu-
| tual De Kol and from 20 pound
daughter of Homestead Junior De
Kol, which latter cow has a 81 pound
dam. The COWS in the herd are in calf
to this bull and a 20 grandson of Ca
nary Paul Fobes Homestead. In addi-
ton to all that has been said Mr.. Null
lens herd has never shown a re-
action; it is absolutely free from abor-
ton. In short this sale presents an op-
portunity to procure Holsteins that
| embody practically everything one
would seek in starting out to purchase
foundation stock.

FISHERMEN TAKE NOTICE
PROVISIONS OF THE LAW

Fishermen should take notice that
under the law live or dead, minnows
cannot be used for bait in Jefferson
county until May 28 This provision
affects only Jefferson county. Fishing
with artificial bait is allowed.
To clear up a general misunder-
standing of the new special game fish
law, the state conservation commit.
tee has issued circular letter to all
game wardens explaining its applica-
tion
Inc flsh1ng season opens for resi-.
dents only, on May /, instead of Ma,
~, as heretofore, but "the daily bae
limit Of ten pounds Of fish, or two fish
OF any weight" is provided in the law
Also, during that period" the letter
specifics, mo fish classed as game fish
may be shipped, sold or bartered. Or
May 70 the regular law goes into eff.
feet"
The season for the taking of black
bass does not open until June Is. bu1
Oswego bass, green bass, and yellow
bass may be caught as early as Ma,
~. These laws appear to conflict, ac-
cordlng to the letter, because the large
mouthed black bass is the same fish as
the Oswego bass and green bass, and
the small mouthed black bass the same
as the yellow bass. Because of this, the
attorney general advises all courts tc
give the law a broad construction, an6
give the public the benefit of any douht
| that may arise.
