A Fine Dairy Herd.
It was the pleasure of the G -T.
editor to spend a few hours some days
ago at the farm borne of Mr. and Mrs.
E. M. Shutt on lower Rhea crees,
and to be treated to a very elegant
dinner of fried chicken and fresh gar
den vegetables.
Mr. Shutt is getting nicely started
in the dairy business and now has a
herd of some thirty cows. He is
raising Holstlens, principally, and
will shortly be milking a number of
fresh cows of this stock. His little
herd contains some very excellent
cows now and he is planning to breed
them up to the highest standard as he
owns one of the best aires to be bad
in the country.
The first crop of alfalfa is op in
good shape and the second Is coming
on rapidly. With an abundance of
water all the year. Mr. Shutt baa no
fears of crop shortages, and his idea
of raising lota of hogs, chickens, tur
keys and ducks along with good dairy
stock is bound to put him ahead and
spells hor him abundant success.
H. A. Zehrung departed last Thurs
day morning for Valley points. He
will spend his vacation of three weeks
with his family who have been down
there for some time.
