Stauffer, as tenant, has developed
one of the choicest Guernsey herds tc
. be found in Ohio. Six years ago he
started and now about 25 head can be
shown. The cows were much admired
by all for their dairy capacity and
beauty. Two really excellent bulls
were shown. When the records of these
were apnounced it was easily seen
that Stauffer is planning on advanc-
ing the already creditable standing he
has.
From here the assemblage of autos
moved on to J. C. Indoe's farm in
Granger. Here was shown an excel
lent dairy equipment; good barn, con-
veniently arranged; electric lights,
milking machine, running water etc.
The cattle were back in a pasture lot
but the crowd didn't stop at that.
Back they went and rounded them up
for few minutes inspection. Then
for the last Holstein herd Of the day.
Thirteen years ago C. I. Miller
started to build herd. To say that
he has succeeded is putting it mildly.
There are mighty few men in Ohio or
any other state that can lead out
such Holsteins as this Medina County
breeder. His aim has always been to
bred the best. He has known what he
wanted and has stuck to his convic-
tions that COW to be good must be
beautiful as we'll as productive. Beau
ty is remarkably present in this herd.
Big strong straight topped deep
bodied we'll proportioned cattle these;
ready for the show ring or the milk
ing contest any time.
Many of those present wanted to
stay longer but one more stop was
scheduled at C. E. Harris & Sons,
breeders of Jerseys. This is also
Granger outfit. The crowd was we'll
repaid when they examined the grand
daughters of the state record cow
The Harris herd is real father and
son proposition. The son spent two
years at the agricultural college and
then came home to help expand the
business already started and to i'm
prove its standing with the breeding
fraternity. Today Harris and Son
stand out as one of the few in tn
business of developing record cows.
After the Jerseys had been thor
oughly inspected it was nearly six
o'clock and the machines began to pull
away for home, after claiming to have
had one Of the greatest days in Me-
dina county ever known.
Altogether there were 36 machines ,
about 125 men and women in
this company. Everyone enjoyed
and many suggested that ,
another such trip be planned in the
near future.

that, however much he might be i'm

The llrst pictures that came to him
were merely pictures, though astonish-
ingly clear ones, of Webster's boat, the
Flamingo. Of Webster himself, and Of
the men and the old dog Sailor; but In
all this he might have been visualixing
from actual knowledge. Yet the, de-
tails were curiously exact. Presently
his gaze becoming more fixed:
