Quite number of good dairy cows
have been changing hands this month.
The Wright Brothers of Lamar pur-
chased a number of good producers
from the Las Animas district and we
look for them to start testing next
month. The herd of Mr.. Jensen at
Holly has been dispersed, most of the
good cows going to other dairymen
in the vicinity. Another herd is to be
established by the man who takes Mr..
Jensen's place. Mr.. Helton of Lamar
sold two very good Red Poll cows and
two yearling heifers. Mr.. Wadhams
Of Las Animas has sold two boarders
to the butcher and row has an entire
herd Of good producing cows. Wilson
G. Maxwell of Lamar announce a sale
to be held the 7tk of March. They
have listed II head of dairy cows all
Of which have association records for
the past two years or more and have
proved to be good producers. The
price Of dairy stock is holding up very
well, good cows selling for $4,000 or
more.
Several of the association members
have become interested in freeing their
herds of tuberculosis animals. A num-
ber of herds have been tuberculin test
ed. The Model Dairy and l.. Writ
Markham have entered the govern
ment's plan for securing an accredit-
ed herd and the first test has been
made on their herds. Mr.. Bolinger at
McClave, and Johnston & Maxwell and
the Green Mt Dairy at Lamar have
had their herds tested and have isolat-
ed any reactors for shipment to the
slaughter house. A shipment of these
animals is to be made in the very near
future.

old registered Holstein owned by Har-
ry Heath of Lamar, was placed on Of
ficial test this month and made 5S3
lbs of milk and 2s.1S lbs of butter in
