of the foundation stock VIII be sold
at auction. Any man can bid on
any cow This plan pays all that had
an interest in Il. The stockholders
will get about % per cent dividend
on the share. The man that. bought
the COW got her for less than an
ordinary COW would cost and he get
the milk, half the bull calves, the
heifer calves and a chance TO buy
the COW at final auction. Such or
ganization helps get good foundation
stock which is a help TO community
in general. We should have such in
Texas In the meantime get the
best stock you can afford and breed
them up by using a good bull.
