Her owner writes to FARM, STOCK & HOME: "We are very much impressed these days with the need of intelUgent use of dairy products, with ref- erence to their food value as compared with other sources of food. The practical phase of this with the farmer is to develop his resources, especially his dairy cattle, to their greatest production, and see to it that those cows are developed which will give a profitable return for feed consumed.

IRWIN. Pure Bred Live Stock in the Northwest A beautiful little bull calf, six months old, a Hol- stein aristocrat, sold at auction for $106, in Wisconsin in 1918. His half brother, two years old, sold in May, 1919, for $125, These events, and the record above of the great- est dairy cow in world's history, are examples of the character of pure-bred dairy cattle in the FARM, STOCK & HOME group. This wonderful animal was a Minnesota cow, of Minnesota parent- age and ancestry.

The average price received was $2,895, which leads any other state sale anywhere by $450. One Minnesota bred cow, Jenny Wren Pietertje, shown herewith, was sold for $10,100 to a Waukesha county, Wisconsin firm, which also paid $10,000 for another cow. Still an- other Minnesota cow also brought $10,000. A Wis- consin and Minnesota partnership pai
