Guernsey Herd Owned by R. B. Webb, Glyndon 



R. B. "Webb is a native of New York 

 state and came to Clay County from 

 Wisconsin 38 years ago. In 1876 he 

 bought a farm south of Glyndon for 

 $8.00 per acre. Three years later, in 

 order to have the advantages of bet- 

 ter schools, he sold the farm for $15.00 

 per acre and moved to Glyndon. For 

 the next thirteen years Mr. Webb 

 bought grain for one of the elevators 

 at Glyndon, and sold farm machinery. 



Later he retired from business and en- 

 gaged in potato growing, dairying and 

 general farming. He is now making 

 dairying the leading feature and has 

 a fine herd of Guernseys. The cows, 

 several of them full blood, and the 

 registered bull are shown in the illus- 

 trations. Another picture shows the 

 dairy barn and silo. Dairying has 

 necessitated the raising of corn and 

 clover, which has been supplemented
