BUHL DAIRY CATTLE TO NORTHERN IDAHO

A. F. Tage of Salmon City Sends Out Fifty-two Head of Jersey and Holstein Cows

A. F. Tage of Salmon City, Idaho, has begun shipping dairy cattle from the Buhl country to the neighborhood of Salmon City, the first shipment of 52 head of choice Jersey and Holstein cows being sent last Friday.

Mr. Tage, who is considered an expert cowman, says that they are the best he has been able to find. THe success of the dairymen in the Buhl country has attracted widespread attention from other parts of Idaho, and during the coming year there will be many new dairy herds founded, and the Salmon City country is already taking active steps in that direction. The Buhl herds, all founded during the last seven years, have for foundation stock some of the best blooded lines in the country, and the dairymen have spent much time and money in developing their stock. Nineteen head of the shipment were from the herd of C. H. Kreigh, all were in the Pioneer Cow Testing association and brought Mr. Kreigh $1500 in cash, the entire shipment of 52 cows and two calves bringing to the farmers who sold them $5500 in cash.
