DICKINSON COUNTY 



C. W. Taylor, Abilene.* — It is a farm worth 

 looking over that furnishes the home for the 

 Taylor Shorthorns. Several large houses and 

 large barns and sheds provide slielter for men 

 and animals I'equired in carrying on operations 

 on this tract of 17()0 acres of excellent, tillable 

 land. Eveiything is done on a big scale on this 

 farm. Just now the herd is comparatively small 

 — between 100 and 200 head — having been re- 

 duced temjDOi'arily in order iJiat more wheat 

 could be raised. Its normal size is J'rom 200 to 

 800 head. Everything indoors and out is under 

 the immediate supervision of William Harvey 

 and his estima))le wife, who came from Scotland 

 si.ane ten years ago to take charge of iliis big 

 farm. The pro]»i-ietor devotes much iime and 

 thoughi- to the business and e\'erv minute spent 

 with him reveals tlu' wide; awake man of big af- 

 fairs.
