registered milking Shorthorns. cows
and heifers, fifty four head of Poll

acquired farms, the Frank Jewell
farm just at the edge of the city
limits and the old Jimmie Hea0ing-
ton farm two miles north of that
farm, Mr.. Logsdon having purchased
both of these places last year.
These two farms contain 639
acres, and oyer in Allamakee county
the big farm there contains 666
acres, which has been operated by
Mr.. Logsdon and his brother Leon

lamakee farm, where the big share
of the stock is, some $50 head
Logsdon Bros. have worked up a
reputation in the past few years in
the pure bred livestock world that
has sent their names and stock ali
over the United States.
For fourteen years John Logsdon
has devoted his time exclusively, al
most, to raising pure bred stock. He
was formerly president of the Ameri-
can Milking Shorthorn Breeders AS
tsociation, which was started by the
late James J. Hill, the Great North
Eern railroad magnate, Of ST. Paul
He is now director in the associa-
tion.
The people of Decorah and Winnie
shiek county will surely welcome Mr..
Logsdon here again. He is Winnie
shiek product and Is entitled to every
consideration and his word is as
good as bond
These cattle that Logsdon raises
are the cream of the country. He
recently sold a bunch at better than
$1,000 a head average, and another
instance of their value is the fact
that some of the cattle carry life in
surance policies of $500 each.
The Logsdons have sold an itn-
mense lot of stock which has been
shipped to all parts of the United
States. In the bunch of cattle brought
here last week are two of the best
bulls ever brought to this county.
One of them will weigh $500 pounds
and the other one is an imported
bull, very choice bred. These animals
can be seen on the farm any time
now. a
A part of the Belle Vernon herd
of Milking Shorthorns, of Independ-
ence, Iowa, will be located on one Of
these Winneshiek farms of Logs
dons.
Mr.. Logsdon has also shipped
54 head of registered Poland China
brood sows here. headed by line bred
Chief prize boar. They are said to be
some Of the finest hogs seen here.
Shropshire sheep are another fea-
,ture of the Logsdon farms and they
have great lot of them.
Last. but not least, is their Scotch
Collie dogs. some very beautiful ant
mails. which are always in big de-
mand
When John Logsdon gets settled
here on his big farms they will be
the stock show place OF the county.
and will bring many buyers here.
His farms are ideally situated, right
at. the edge of the city limits, and
Mr.. Logsdon is one of those fellows
who treats all visitors agreeably and
will give a. square deal to all. His
stock are not experiments. they have
proven their worth, and a person is
safe and then some in selecting ant
mails from the Logsdon Bros. Their
reputation has been established and
they are here to keep that reputation
unsullied. Again we welcome Mr..
Logsdon here and trust that he will
enjoy an abundance of good luck and
prosperity.
