Mr. Chipman deserves much praise for bringing such fine stock into this county. He had on exhibition one bull, one cow and two calves. They were all of the Brown Swiss breed. This breed is without doubt one of the best for dairy and beef purposes and our farmers can certainly do no better than to invest in some of Mr. Chipman's stock.
