SrocK SALEs.--We learn that at the stock
sale of Messrs. HILLS & JONES. at their
farm, on Friday last, there was a small NUM-
Der Of buyers, consequently those who were
there purchased cattle at very low prices; it
being the determination of these gentlemen
to make all their sales satisfactory. they will
not permit any bidding in or reservations.
Thomas Lavender, of Thompson, purchas-
ed a thoroughbred young bull and a full
blood cow. Hugh Cole, of Troy, bought a
thoroughbred bull calf. II. G.. Andrews,
of Delaware, a thoroughbred COW. Messrs.
Cunningham, Main and GreenIee, of Troy,
bought several full blood COWS and heifers.
They also sold a few of their choice South
Down and Leicester sheep.
We understand that they sold at the re-
cent Ohio State Fair, a splendid thorough
bred yearling heifer, sired by Master Miller,
693, to Mr.. Taylor, of Knox county, and
more recently to Hon. Columbus Delano, Of
same county, one thoroughbred young bull,
and four or FIVE young heifers, got by Master
Miller.
Their sales within the last two years have
reached a very large amount, one tnat would
astonish an old line farmer who breeds
nothing but scrub stock, while many farmers
within our own county, have taken adyan-
:age of The opportunity of purchasing of
them. Their largest and best sales have
been made to persons abroad.
We trust our farmers will be awakened to
the necessity Of breeding good stock, as it
costs no more to raise an animal worth
one hundred dollars than one worth but ten
dollars, to say nothing about The comforta-
bic satisfaction derived from the possession
of a handsome and valuable one.
