ing sold at satisfactory prices. Judge
O'Bryan, the auctioneer, says that the
sale demonstrated to his mind that the
business of raising well-bred horses in
Barber county is even more profitable
than handling cattle. Yearling colts
sold for $50; twOs from $40 to $50 and
threes and tours up to S75-fgures that
cattle of the same ages would not half

the stock sold, have yet big bunch of
horses on their farm and it is their plan
to continue to breed them up until they
have the best stock in Southern Kansas.
