Show DAIRY COWS AND HOGS TO AUGMENT MILFORD VALLEY FARMERS INCOME j Ten carloads of high producing cows and at least three hundred head of hogs will be brougjit into the Mil-ford Mil-ford valley within the next few weeks which will augment the present dairy herd and the hogs will give the farmer farm-er a profitable source' for the disposition disposi-tion of their skimmed milk. The new Valley creamery is running run-ning steadily, producing a high quality qual-ity of butter, but is limited by the lack of milking stock in the valley at the present time. The prospects for more and better cows in the immed-, immed-, iate future is bright. Fred Levi, of the Milford State Bank and Gilbert Thatcher, livestock ju-je of Ogden, Utah, are now in Minnesota buying dairy cows for the Milford and Min-ersville Min-ersville farmers. A wire from these gentlemen this week state that on their trip east, they stopped in Denver, Den-ver, and were fortunate in buying a : large number of registered Holstein cows that were being sold at a receiv-j receiv-j er's sale. These cows, forty in num-j num-j ber, will be shipped to Milford at ! once. From Denver they continued their ' trip on into Minnestota, where they i are carefully selecting the very best j dairy cows obtainable. A number of carloads of these Minnesota cows will -.be bought. With the class of dairy stock being selected by Messrs. Levi i and Thatcher, the farmers will be as- sured that they will get the very best ! in the country. j As a by-product to the dairy indus-itry, indus-itry, considerable interest is being : t manifested among the farmers of ; ' Milford valley and the Minersville - section in buying hogs to feed their J skimmed-milk to, and an effort is be--jing made to secure at least three hundred hogs this fall to distribute 'I among the farmers who are engaging 'in the dairy business. I Wednesday several truck loads containing con-taining fifty-four head of these hogs arrived from Panguitch, and arrange- . ments are being made to ship in several sev-eral carloads. Even through the present slump in nearly everything produced by the farmers, the dairy business is standing stand-ing up remiarkably well, with every j indication that the industry will be one of the first to receive the benefit of any improvement in general conditions. con-ditions. With the dairy business, backed up . with the fattening of hogs on the byproducts, by-products, underway, the farmers of ! this section will find the revenue well 1 wortli the effort. |
