DR.. VanHouten Has
Model Dairy Farm

The Times-Record editor had occas-
ion to visit the farm and dairy owned
and operated by DR.. J. Van Houten,
recently, couple of miles or so south
east Of town. We had no idea that
DR.. Van Houten had such fine lay
out us this farm and dairy. In the
first place the doctor is a breeder of
fine Holstein cattle and has one of the
finest herds in the country. The herd
is headed by bull that has a great
pedigree and for which animal DR..
Van Houten can take check for ten
thousand dollars any time he wants
it. He is fine animal and we under
stand will be on exhibit at the Min
nesota state fair next fall. His name
is Sir Korndyke, Ormsby Piebe Sd No:
177GSl. There are forty pedigreed
milk cows on this dairy farm, in ad-
dition to many head of fine young one
and two year Odds and young calves.
The animals are kept in fire proof
barns, with all the modern conven-
fences that money can buy, in the way
of sanitary individual water buckets
where the animals have pure cool
water any time they want it. In the
winter the water is warmed by a regu-
lar process to the right temperature.
Patent stanchions hold the cows in
place. the barn is we'll lighted by cleo
tricity. and there is every convenience
for the animals provided, and the barn
is kept in fine order and cleanliness
as is possible to get. Carver Fouks is
the berdsman and takes great deal
CT pride in the animals and sees to 1t
that they are we'll fed, we'll kept and
have everything it is possible to give
them to Get best results for their COM
fort and for the best production of
milk. He is a good man for the job
because he has a heart for the well
fare of the stock-and that counts.
Then we come to the dairy, known
as the Florentine Dairy-which is in
charge of MIR. and Mrs. Wellington
Brown. A visit by any of our people
to this dairy will convince them that
the Browns are the right people in the
right place, because it is one of the
cleanest and sweetest diaries we have
ever visited--spotless and clean from
one end TO the other. The dairy is
eouipped with all the latest devices
for taking care of the products OF
the producing end, such as sterl'zcrs
for washing the bottles, which is done
by q steam arrangement so that al
the bottles are washed thoroughly by
boiling hot water. There are bottllne
devices and patent arrangements fol-
corking up the milk and cream bot
ties. twenty bottles being taken care
of every minute by these machines
The ice chests, cold storage room ant
every department is spotIessly clear
and the Browns who take care of thi:
part, invite any Of our people to an!
time they want to, and they will tine
it always clean and sanitary. Mr.
Brown has had the handling Of th'
delivery system and has been faith
fully on the job all through the colo
winter months, never skipping day
He tries his level best to give gooot
service along these lines and we ne
lieve he has satisfactorily ATTENDED
to this part of it.

DR.. Van Houten recently returned
from Southern Minnesota where ne
tended the great Holstein sale at Saw
age where 81 head sold for an aver
age of $2O22.50 per head and he was
especially delighted to see seven
year old sire top the sale at $4,000
it so happens that this particular an
i1nal has the same breeding on both
sides as the Van Houten sire only that
the North Dakota animal has AN
average butter record that beats ne
one sold very materially. The dam
Of this animal was sold in the Moor
head sale last year for $4,000. Few
people in the vicinity Of Valley City
know what has been going on right
in their own neighborhood in the past
few years to develop the dairy industry
that has made our sister state on the
east so famous. Dr. Van Houten has
in quiet way gathered some Of the
very best blood Of the breed at Flor
entine farms. Last year he purchased
of w. f. Schilling at Mortified three
very fine cows. One of these Rag
Apple Mercedes, is one Of the very
finest individuals in the state and
made butter record last year OF
23.75 pounds in a week. Another
Tweed Perfection End, is a daughter
of Highlawn Ondinus who has over
twenty daughters that average over
| 20 pounds Of butter in a week and SIX
that have over 80 pounds. This COW
has a butter record of over 20 pounds
f; in a week made in the heifer form?
Still another is Schilling Lafreka, q
very handsome COW that has made
~ the farm during the past winter
more than seventeen pounds OF but
ter in a week. The cows on Floren'
F! tine farm are all being put on yearly
! test as fast as they freshen and II
will not be many years before some
! good records will be made.
The herd is free from tuberculosis
and on the federal accredited list anc
| the milk from these healthy cows is
all sold to the public in this city IN
surfing the very best product possible
and a visit to the modern dairy house
and the fine fire proof barns makes
one feel that although the Doctor Il
