Churchill county, through the ef-
forts of II. j. Long, has taken the
position of one of the purebred Hol.
stein rearing sections of the west
This is a large assertion but the re-
cent inquiries at the Longheath farm
bear out the statement.
OF recent date Mr.. Long received a
letter from one of the largest breed
ers of Holsteins in California asking
for prices and conditions of Holstein
bulls. In part the letter stated that
breeders were turning attention to
the selection of herd bulls to Nevada
and Churchill county owing to the
cleanliness of the blood lines and the
freeness from tubercular reactors.
Other sections are making inquiry
for both male and female members
of the Long breeding, as the records
that have been passed about by the
Holstein-Freisian Association have
fallen into the hands of scores OF
breeders who are looking for better
and harder grade of cattle with the
disease-free breeding back of them.
1t is expected to ship bull to Michi-
gan within a short time, and several
to coast points.
In speaking of the hardness of the
Holstein in this section Mr.. Long
| stated:
when l came in here and looked
over the valley l. decided that this
section would be ideal for breeding
of purebred Hulsteins. l knew that
the low lands of California we're IN
clined to infections, and realized tllat
if l could get started here that the
herds would be practically free from
tuberculosis. That l was right is
shown in the results, and the cattle
that leave my farm are guaranteed
against the disease, or other diseases.
1T takes long time and lot of
work to put herd line before the
buying public. The strains must be
shown, the best of blood must be In
troduced, and there must be care in
breeding, and then comes the rec
ords. If cows do not show butter
records there is no good in trying to-
tell the world that yen have some
thing to sell. The standardizing of
herd is the difficulty and it has
been so in my case. With the win
nings at shows, the official records of
the cows, the gets of the bulls and
the disease free records, are begin
ming to have the effect that I was
confident would come.
For many years the west has been
buying from the eact, and some
exchanges have been made from west
to east, but / am confident that the
continual expansion in dairying will
tude raised stock, which | consider
the ideal situation for disease free
cattle.
I'VE are going to keep right on
making records at the farm, and
there is some great promise in the
young stock that is coming in this
season, while some of the older cows
