Dairymen to See Pure Bred Cows Prove Value at Lamont
A. C. Capper, Lamont dairy man, bought a pure bred Jersey cow from Hugh G. Van Pelt and plans to showcase the animal at the Lamont creamery to persuade farmers that pure bred stock yields more butter fat and profits. Capper asserts cows average 130 pounds butter fat annually, while the tested Jersey produced 600 pounds in twelve months with proper care. Van Pelt approves the plan, hoping a pure bred cow in each community educates farmers on benefits of pure stock. Traveling samples and wholesale undergarments adjoin the notice.
