With the Farmers
Grant County Cows Go To California.

Grant County Cows Go To California.
F. B. Mckay of Litchfield, California
has been in the county for the past
week and the writer has been able to
show him a class of cattle that caused
him to buy forty head in ALL Twenty
eight head of young grade Holstein
cows and eight grade Guernsey COWS,
also four pure bred Guernsey heifers
We are always glad to be able to sell
good class Of cattle into a new acouE-
try for the reason that. a we'll pleased
buyer don't forget. One thing that
was brought home strong on this sh u
ment is, if cattle have COW testing as
ISOLATION records they sell better. In
fact very good Guernsey COW that
her record showed we'll up toward 400
pounds butterfat sold for $4,000
Without this record $4,000 or $4,000
would have been the price on a COW
of that class. If you are not now in
a COW testing association, better get
in, for it sure will pay. Mr. Mckay
came to this section to buy COWS with
a 300 pound butterfat record in COW
testing association work. These that
were we'll up in this class got good
money
The writer feels very well pleased
to be able to sell dairy COWS to botn
coasts in a little over two months.
Cattle are in demand and if people
owning COWS and heifers for sale wish
to sell perhaps listing them with US
might help
The following sold cattle in this
consignment Clyde Walker, Lancas-
ter, one Guernsey and one Holstein;
Hal. Borah, Lancaster, three HoI-
stems; Walter Griswold & Son, Lam
caster, four Holsteins; Albert Brink

Those who are anxious to get rock
