Every farmer knows that raising cattle an
! selling them at from fifty cents 70 two dol
lars pound on foot, is not bad business
} yet that is the plain truth as told by th'
! above figures. One bull sold at ten thOus
| and dollars; another ct four thousand fv
t hundred; and a heifer at two thousand
! Forty years ago when Mr.. Clay and other
} began paying high prices for short horns,
was reasonable to believe that such extr
t values could not lass long; but strange TO SIS
f good breeding animals bring five gold dol
4 lars now where they fetched one then.
