Henry F. Lauber, Yates Center. — Mr. Lauber 

 lias been a breeder of n'ood Shorthorns since 1909 

 and before tliat time he had Ijeen producing 

 splendid high gi'ade cattle, always using higli- 

 elass Shorthorn bulls. The foiuidation cows for 

 the present herd we're bought at the annual sales 

 of tlie Woodson t'ountv Breeders Association 

 and at tiie -J. T. LJayer dispersion, the better fe- 

 males, only, being I'etained. The culling out pro- 

 cess has l)een carried on and the results are seen 

 in a herd much l)etter than the original pur- 

 chases. The car(.' and feed given the herd have 

 not been the l)est, }'et have beeu sufficient to ma- 

 ture a very credital>le l<:)t of cows that are breed- 

 ing well and su<-kling their calves in nice shape. 

 Mr. Lauber has decided, however, to dispose of 

 the grades and give his pure l:)red herd the care 

 and consequent devel(.)piiient a first-rate Short- 

 lioi II herd should liave. ' 



The c<:»ws with wliK-li he began lousiness were 

 nearl}' all l:)y good balls and the two high-class 

 bidls used in the herd have added to the quality 

 of the cattle untd the young animals are iu type, 

 coni'ormation and in actual Idood lines, worth}^ 

 specimens of the lti*eed and tlie kind that give 

 the maximum returns f(.)r the feed consumed.
