Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 9, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1905 — THAT FAMOUS HEIFER. [ARTICLE]

THAT FAMOUS HEIFER.

Mr. Bryan is again the victim of misrepresentation He recently bought a hornless Jersey calf at the very reasonable price of SSO, but before the calf could reach Fairview by freight, the republican editors had changed its sex and multiplied the cost by ten. It is now represented as a SSOO heifer, and one of the cartoonists has gone so far as to portray the democrat donkey as objecting to the “golden calf” and saying that either the “SSOO heifer” or it (the donkey) “has got to go!” It is a pity that a farmer must be thus ridiculed "when he attempts to improve his Stock:. It is ofily a short time ago that he was being held up to public scorn because he, in a jocular mood, said that he had left his plow in the field and hastened to a democratic banquet. This statement was made the text for several semons on the carelessness of farmers who left their farm machinery exposed to the weather. This was really a just criticism, and the editor of The Commoner has taken it to heart and will in the future be more careful with his plow, but there is no excuse for the gross exaggeration as to the price of the calf.—Bryan’s Commoner.
