STRONG ESTABLISHES
HERD OF GUERNSEYS
AT FOUNTAIN CITY

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind, June "A
Guernsey dairy cattle herd, the first
in Wayne county, has been establish
ed here by W. B. Strong, as result
of efforts beginning just a few years
ago. With few grade Guernsey
heifers, and a pure bred bull bought
from the herd of Perry Crane, OF LIE
banon, who is also secretary of the In
diana Federation of Farmers, the herd
has been built up until it is not only
a source of a comfortable income to
its owner, who is a stakeholder in and
patron of the Richmond cooperative
marketing organization, but also
makes the farm, which is on the edge
of the town, a show place for visitors.
Not only Mr. Strong himself, but
also his son and daughter, Frank and
Lucille, are thoroughly versed in the
pedigrees and performance of all the
cows on the place. Every one is con-
sidered as an individual, almost per-
sonal acquaintance and their peculiar
tiles humored accordingly. One young
COW is never known TO go into box
stall without beng led, and even with
her calf quartered in the stall, some
one must be present to escort her
through the open door before she will
visit her offspring. Several others
have a fondness for a certain stanch-
ion in the barn, and even with others
standing unused, each COW must wait
her turn to get into that particular
stanchion before being MIXED.
All of the herd, COWS and heifers
are family pets, and on good terms
with everything else on the place
even down to the dog. Continual han
ding and unfailing gentleness have
contributed to their fearlessness, and
the timidity, which is is said to be
less in this breed than in many others
seems absolutely absent in the Strong
herd
Bull Is Gentle.
The young herd sire, Don" the sor
of the bull originally bought from the
Crane farm. also has had constant
fearless. yet gentle treatment which
have resulted in a pet which, while
no precautions are neglected in con
nection with him, never has given any
trouble TO his owner. He seems as
DESTROYS of human company as any o.
the more domesticated animals, anC
often follows his master about tht
barnyard until his mute request for al
@ear of corn is fulfilled.
The high quality of the milk in but
ter fat content which he claims in ad
ditto nto heavier yield of milk thar
the nearest competitor the Jersey, j!
Mr. Strong's best reason for his pref
erence for the Guernsey. While thu
percent of butter fat with the Guern
sey is not equal to that in the Jerse!
milk as rule, it is very high, and thu
greater volume of milk given by tn,
spotted cows results in a total yielt
of butterfat in excess of that givel
by Jersey cows, the Guernsey mel
claim. Whether this is true or not
is matter for settlement between
the representatives of the two breeds
but several Wayne county farmers il
addition to Mr.. Strong are becoming
converted to the Guernseys. d.
Funk, who owns a farm near Middle
boro, Is the owner of a foundation
herd of this breed, and several neigh
bors of Tony Strong, as he is callet
by his friends, have secured calve!
