A ton of milk a day, cows that turn
out 10000 to $4,000 quarts of milk "a
year and bull for which you refuse
100000 of real money-that is the
kind of farm Paul T. Brady of this
city owns up in the Harlem valley,
near Pawling, Duchess county.
One hundred thousand dollars for
bull Think of it! 1t would buy
house on Park avenue. 1t could be
safely invested to yield $4,000 or $1,000
year for the rest of your life. 1t
could-well, 100000 could do so many
things for you that there is no use try
ing to catalogue them.
Nevertheless there are men In this
world ready to put 100000 into that
fine bred Holstein bull, The Mighty
Monarch, son of that great bull, King
of the Pontiacs, now at the head OF
Mr.. Brady's herd. But Mr. Brady is
wise business man, and he knows that
the calves sired by The Mighty Mon
arch will turn him back 100000 in
less than two years. So as a prime,
gilt edged investment he sticks to The
Mighty Monarch and refuses to discuss
selling prices, no matter how high they
soar or how many bidders there may
be.
Estate Of 300 Acres.
Broad Meadows Farms is the title
of Bradys place just south of Pawling,
and 1t fits the place perfectly. There
are fully 800 acres of land as level and
as productive as any you will find in
New York state. Broad Meadows will
turn out all the hay and slage needed
for this herd of $50 cows and then
have plenty for profitable marketing
elsewhere One hundred and ten acres
are planted with corn and soy beans.
Eugene Brady, second eldest son Of
Mr.. Brady, Is general manager of the
farming, while Henry e. Lee Is man.
ager of the herd. Eugene Brady sees
to it that the farm yields all the herd
requires, while it is Mr. Lees job to
get milk production out of the cows,
to add value to them by developing
their best qualities and to keep his
weather eye peeled for the best ami
mails to be bought anywhere in the
country. In these days of high prices
for grains, for help and for everything
you buy, Eugene Brady's task is by no
means light.
No one knows how much Paul T.
Brady has invested in his farm enter
prise, but, with the big barns, out
buildings and modern farm machinery,
all used for the comfort of The Mighty
Monarch and his multitudinous family
of cows and calves, the price undoubt-
edly tips the scales at half million
1t certainly looks it, especially when
you take a peep at The Mighty Mon
arch in his citadel and figure that that
one animal alone cost 100000.
Calf Sells for 500.
Besides, Mr.. Lee will tell you of
cows which he prices at $1,000 and
So, 900 each, and of calves four months
old, sired by The Mighty Monarch,
which command price of $720, as one
did at a Poughkeepsie auction two
weeks ago.
HE went cheap at that" said Mr..
Lee when discussing the matter 'but
we felt we ought to let the public put
its own price on some of the Monarch's
offspring and so sent that four-months-
old over to the SALE
1.-THE dam of the calf is not high
but it shows@how the people feel about
breeding. To the average person that
may seem a high price, but if that
calf carries out the promise of its an
cestry it ought to be worth at maturity
any price from $1,000 up.
1.-THE dam of The Mighty Monarch,
Segis Hengerveld Fayne, Johanna, you
must remember, sold for $4,000 a
month ago at Buffalo. That is the
highest price ever paid for cew. A
sister to The Mighty Monarch com
manded $4,000 at the same sale. Sc
gis has a record of AZ pounds of butter
in week, but her dam did better She
tested just over so pounds of butter
in one week. She had two daughters
in the AZ pound class. So you see The
Mighty Monarch comes by his title
through royal pedigree.
Prices Not Excessive.
81 have some Mighty Monarch
calves in the barns that l would not
sell for less than $4,000. They are
out of cows of high milk records and
high butter records-that is, milk eX-
ceeding 600 pounds in seven days and
butter exceeding 80 pounds in seven
days.
Nov, you will say these are high
prices, but my experience is that the
high priced, fine bred Holstein is the
cheapest COW in the world and the
best paying investment you can make.
at is not what you pay for her that
counts, it is what you make of her

ued. Her calves pay her out, and if
she increases her record under your
management you cannot figure how
high her price will 60 When you buy
