Douglas has 16 good young cows that are making him a trifle over $60 per month, for butter fat. The cows have nothing to eat but alfalfa hay, no grain of any kind. Mr. Douglas has a goo warm barn that he keeps his stock in nights and stomry days. This should be an object lesson to the farmers to provide plenty of gocc alfalfa hay (which can be grown on any of our up land,) and a gooc warm shelter for the stock.

Mr. Douglas informs us that he is in re ceipt of a letter from the Hoods Dairy Farmer of Wisconsin, saying that he saw our article in the Alma Record on the Douglas farm some time ago. Mr. Hood was very much interested in our article, so much so that he wrote Mr. Douglas a personal letter.

He is also exper imenting with alfalfa in but thinks, from what he read in the Record that Harlan county is the ideal spot for dairy farming. We hope soon to arrange for a dairy mans excursion in the near future. We know their is money in dairying and alfalfa growing in Harlan county.

General Blacksmithing and Fred Fritz, the Wilcox butcher was down to the county seat last Saturday paying his taxes, while here he made the Record a pleasant call. Mr.

Fritz is a straight forward man. He will use nothing but the very best meat he can get. ie is willing to pay a good price or his goods, then he will charge according. His son ran a meat market at Ragan some time ago. But Mr.

Fritz feels that the Ragan people did not want a meat market there, for as soon as winter came the stores would handle fresh meats, and cut the price under him so he has decided to move his Ragan building to Wilcox, and let them eat stale meat in summer lereafter. We think this is a mistake in the Ragan business men to crowd Mr. Fritz out, by not pator nizing him if he was running a good market, which he informs us he was doing. Mr. Fritz is an old timer in Harlan county, having came here in 1879.
