Our "Bob'' is the Colonel (red kernel) of these redsj In some of the mountain communities, he is spotted as 'R. I. Red" for his advocacy for the Rhode Island Reds, as the hen for produc tivity in the egg line at 11 times Then again as "Red. Cattle Bob" his fondness for red cows and bulls as best yielders in calves, milk and cream fastens that title to him too. "Red Hog Bob" falls from the lips of many.
