Sutter county now has a registered stcek farm located on the Jackson ranch, just a mile below Tuba City. Davis and Peterson, two well-known stock men, one from Colusa and the other from Los Angeles, are in charge of this fine stock ranch. These two gentlemen have looked the State over and find Sutter county the most de- sirable location for the business in which they wish to embark. They have leased 600 acres of land from Mr. Jackson for a long period and have established one of the finest and largest registered stock farms in Northern California.

They took from the herd of N. H. Gentry of Sedalia, Missouri, the pick of the Berkshire. The Gen- try Berkshire is known to every well informed hog raiser as the cream of that breed. From Mr. Thornton of Blackwater, Mo., they selected the pick of his Durocs, the finest bacon stock now known. They secured sev- eral specimens of the Tamworth breed from other noted breeders of the East. This goes to show that these men have the pick of the noted swine herds of the United States and it means that Tuba City will soon be the headquarters for the largest and finest swine herds in California. About 100 acres of the ranch will be devoted to general farming and the balance will be sown in alfalfa. Corn will be grown extensively on the bottom land. A large herd of dairy cows will be pastured on the ranch and these men will have registered short horn Durhams and are now offering some of their calves for sale. o A NEW WHEAT.
