Carlton County
Strong for Cows
FORMER REDWOOD COUNTY
FARMERS AMONG GROUP GET
TING SPLENDID RETURNS

| From Carleton County comes the
following very interesting and educa-
| tional report of what the dairy cow
is doing for the farmers pocketbooks
| in that section. W. H. Clark who is
mentioned in the report as the for
tunate owner of seven of these cheer
full producers of deposit slips was
formerly resident of Redwood Coun
ty, having been tenant on the Finn
farm south of the city for seven years
prior to his moving to Carleton, where
| he is now resident of the Moose
Lake territory. Walter Lewis, anoth-
er Redwood County farmer now liv-
ing in Mr.. Clark's section of Carlton
| Co., has twenty three head of grade
Guernsey's which bring him a semi
monthly check ranging from hun
! dred and fifty to hundred eighty
dollars. What can be done in Carl
ton can be done just as easily and
perhaps more easily in Redwood Coun-
ty.

''The pest friend the farmers tri-
butary to Moose Lake have is the
dairy cow. The best way, to secure
most from the dairy cow is to mar
ket her products through a gooc
creamery. Moose Lake has a good
creamery and many of the farmers
are finding that monthly cream
check is a wonderful help in aiding
them to clear up farm in this sec
ton of the state. Many farmers are
recognizing the advantages and i'm
portance of the dairy industry and
arc building up splendid herds of Hol-
stein and Guernsey cattle.
ain looking over the records of the
Moose Lake creamery we find that
their output of butter for the month
of July was $4,000 pounds. Over
$4,000 was paid to the farmers. The
average price of sweet cream was 63.5
and for sour cream SIC.
'The six farmers who drew the
largest cream checks for July are as
follows:
Harry Tague, IL cows $4,000
E. E. Schmidt, 10 cows $500 $4,000
B. Jacobson, IA cows --- 1880
Ted Cordner, 6 cows ----- 1860
David Almquist, 10 cows - $4,000
w. H. Clark, 7 cows ---- 1900
Harry Tague, who tops the list has
fine herd of high grade Guernseys.
Mr.. Tague is a strong believer in the
value of Pillsbury's dairy feed About
five pounds of this ration is fed each
cow daily. Mr.. Tague figures that by
using this feed his increased cream
rrol,,,fio, re hi,,,
per month. And Furthermore, he says
his cows thrive better and milk long
er.
"E. E. Schmidt has herd of mixed
Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey cows.
Most of his cows freshened last fall,
but the size of his cream check shows
that his cows are good producers.
Barney Jacobson milks fourteen
COWS, but most of them freshened
last fall. He has a mixed herd of
cattle. BY giving his herd careful at
tention, he has made them into mon
ey makers.
tied Cordner has made a remark
able record with only six cows, half of
which are Holsteins. David Almquist
has mixed herd, most of the cows
freshening last fall and winter. Cord
ner and Almquist are progressive
farmers who know the value of good
dairy cows
another strong booster for Pills
bury's dairy feed is w. H. Clark. He
has herd of high grade Guernsey
and feeds them this ration each day.
He says that he can prove to the most
skeptical that it pays. His cream
check for last month shows it.
