Until we get once around we
would like our correspondents to
tell US about COWS in their re-
spective neighborhoods-a n d
chickens.
The editor recently in driving
out in the country saw chicken
sight that put him to thinking.
The chickens being white Leg
horns, Of course showed prom
inently in contrast with their
surroundings. but their being
every where there was no doubt
, of there being hundreds of them.
| and the sight was certainly beau
tiful.
We afterwards learned that
there were over 800 of the chick
ems. and what it put us to think
ing about was-"why not seyer-
al hundred chickens on every
farm?"
There's money in chickens and
eggs. besides the meat value of
both to the family.
Years aso the editor learned
that the man with cows doesn't
have to ask any favors of his
grocer or clothing merchant.
Five and six years ago there
was no dairying in Baca county
worth mentioning. Today there
are cream stations at about every
postoffi e. besides the great guam
tity that is shipped by the dairy
men direct to the creameries.
Whether they are shipping
cream or making butter for the

cows in your neighborhood.
