Tilson) There rte lots of wonderful dairy ileifer c U'res on the farms of Jackf son ooujty this spring. These calves sired b> the Piuebred dairy bulls placed in the various communities of the county last year are attracting lots of attention. Due to the unusual 1 lv high milk and butter production back of their sires these calves will when they become cows produce from 1-4 to 1-3 more milk and butter than their mothers. The laws of dairy cat tle .breeding assure this and their looks already show that they should be better cows than their mothers Those calves are not for sale at any reasonable price whatever. And when they grow iii^to cows and fresh en two years from right now one mindred dollars in cash will be the market price for one of them. Folk the demand for good milk cows i? only half what it)will be two years and four four years from now. It you raise more than, you want yon sure will be able to sell them at vo ir own price. As sure as you and I live dairy cows are coming into all west ern North Carolina just about as fjv.t for the ne?t' five to ten years as the automobile has come during the past ten years. We have a cream market now that pays well aityl cows pay we'll with chickens and pigs, and wo are going to have jjood cows arid lots if them on practically all Western N. C. farms. Don't wait but start now to have your heifers by breeding your cows this season, to the purebred dairy bulls in your community and you will raise the heifer calves at a real profit. Heifers from scrub sires pro duce from 1-4 to 1-3 less milk and butter than their mothers and no body wants them. i V SEVEN MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUE!
