Albert j. johnson, The GAzErTE's
Granite Rock correspondent, and
hustling young farmer of that vicinity,
was married to Miss Emma Larsen of
Johnsonville, at Hotel Francois. last
week Tuesday. A number of young
people from that town were present at
the wedding ceremony, which occurred
about ten o'clock. Immediately after
the minister had congratulated the
couple the party formed into process
sion and marched to the Palace
Restaurant, where Mr.. johnson had
left an order for wedding breakfast.
At the conclusion of the same Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson left for Franklin, where
they visited with relatives. The couple
returned home on Saturday. Mrs.
johnson is charming young lady, a
favorite in Granite Rock and John
sonville, and the people there will con-
graduate Mr.. johnson over his win
ming such bride.
Joseph Tyson-Last Monday I
shipped two fine bulls from the Glen
dale herd, one to Chas. Griswold of
Granite Falls and the other to W. A.
McHenry of Dennison, Ia, one of the
largest breeders in the world of this
most famous breed of cattle. Two
years ago we sold this same gentleman
a bull from our herd and last spring
after carefully looking over all the
herds in this country he went to Eng
land and Scotland in search of bull
to head his herd, but came back with
out buying, which speaks we'll for
Minnesota, particularly Redwood
county, but more particularly the
Glendale herd. We have never had
such demand for our bulls as we
have had this winter. I think it is due
to the fact that farmers are reading
more and getting better posted, and
are beginning to realize that it does
not pay to raise scrub cattle; that they
receive the most money for their feed
when fed to the best stock; that for
seven consecutive years this wonderful
breed has topped the Christmas mar
ket at Chicago; that at the late fat
stock show at Chicago this most ia
nous breed, that beats the world, cap
tured eight out of possible twelve
championship premiums and it would
be safe to say that the Shorthorn and
Hereford men breeders have 100 cat
tie to select from to the breeders of
the Polled Angus one; that in Febru-
airy, 1897, at the great combination
sale of fine stock at Penrith, England,
the premium Shorthorn bull sold for
500, while yearling Angus bull
brought ST. ,225; that at the Islington,
London, cattle market, March 22d,
Aberdeen Angus cattle sold for 14ss
cents per pound dressed weight,
bringing two cents per pound more
than any other; that on Nov. 20 last,
at the Union stock yards, Chicago, FL
yearlings, grade Angns, weighed 1l47
pounds and sold by Clay, Robinson &
Co. at S5.25 per hundred, or a triae
over $50 per head; that the Glendale
herd is the only one in existence where
grandsons of that wonderful COW, Alb
hess of burlington, that won the cham
pionship honors over all breeds of the
Worlds fair, can be bought. A Polled
Angus bull is the advance agent of the
wave of prosperity.
