Col. l.. b. Bell reached home from

competency amounts TO anything in
the drng business, these gentlemen
are fully alive to the responsibilities

years of experience in their immedi ate

What every breeder of either
horses or cattle wants is better stock
In obtaining it, however, the utmost
care should be exercised to avoid i'm
position in both the grade Of the ami
NAL and the price. A horse that il
pretty near a thoroughbred" is pret.
ty near nothing. There is probably nc
occupation which gives as much lati
tude for placing hoticious values as up
on stations. A two year old was sold t
someone on the Verdigris last year by
llutchins, the breeder living neal
Kansas City, for $500, which cost hin
year before 500. This case only
serves as an example to illustrate thu
idea we would impart. There arr
horses offered for sale in this towI
every week at prices which are. .withou
: doubt, twice as high as they are worth
Buy good stock, but do not pay exor
bitant prices, simply because they ar
asked.
