Hood Farm Stock at n. n. Tator's.


The numerous purchases by farmers
and breeders in this state of richly bred
stock from Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass,
and the general upward tendency in the
quality of dairy herds and dairy products
that has been noticeable as a result OF
these purchases. show that our people
are recognizing the fact that tor the pro-
duction of the best results in dairying,
animals OF great butter and milk inherit
ance, as well as good individual capacity,
are required. Hood Farm is conducted
upon principles which give assurance that
young stock coming from this herd shall
possess both these qualities. The deter
mination to produce the best has been a
ruling motive in the busy life of c. l.
Hood, whose wonderful success as the
proprietor Of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
great medicine that is well known to
have enormous sales and an unequalled
record Of cures, proves that the people
know and appreciate superior merit.
Among the most notable purchases re-
Gently made is that by M. M. Tatro, who
has secured for his farm at West Concord
the young prize winning bull. Pogis 9Th
of Hood Farm. He is by Hood Farm
Pogis, prize winner wherever shown,
son of the great Kathetta's Fancy, test
II lbs. 61a o., and has given over % 900
pounds oil milk in two consecutive years.
The dam of this young bull is Oouan's
Laudsee Wax, grand COW, that traces
to CONAN, test, % lbs. 21a o., dam Of
six in the list; Landseer's Fancy, test, 20
lbs. "a OF. in seven days, GAG lbs. 14s4 OF.
in one year. dam of six in the list; and
Beeswax, test, II lbs. o., dam of FIVE
in the list.
With this bull comes the two-year-old
heller, Tonona 1201S7, a grandly bred
and superb individual. With these as
foundation, Mr.. Tatro should be able to
produce some great show stock and high
class dairy performers.
Mr.. Tatro has also purchased from
Hood Farm fine pair of Berkshire pigs.
They are superior individuals and are
bred in the choicest lines. The boar is
by Duke III. of Hood Farm that was
never beaten in the show ring, and from
