Peter Stoffel, living three miles
northeast Of Lancaster, shipped two
car loads of hogs and ear load of
cattle to the Chicago market last Mon
day. Mr.. Stoffel makes specially of
breeding and raising fine short horn
cattle and in this car were some
splendid specimens, both of grades
and fuil-bloods. 1t seems almost too
bad that such nice stock has to be
marketed at all. But it is the kind
that pays. The cost is no more to
raise and fatten a good animal than a
poor one and the difference in price
on sale day may be the difference
between success and failure in a years
farming.
