FARMERS ORGANIZING
HORSE BREEDING CLUBS

Farmers i'm different sections of the
state are forming local horse breed
ing associations, the object being to
improve the breed of draft horses
for farm purposes and to supply such
markets as Chicago. Recently Il
dozen or more of the best known
stock breeders at De Ealb purchased
a fine stallion, paying $4,000 for the
animal. I'm recent years there has
been marked Improvement i'm brood
mares, and it is the purpose of horse
men To make DeKalb county famous
for it's production of horses for
heavy tcaming and driving.
\ great deal of attention is direct
cd to this industry in central eastern
Illinois. John Hershberger, who has
n farm near Arthur, on the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois road, recently
shipped to Chicago Il car load of
some of the finest horseAesh ever
sent to that market. There were
twenty animals, the average weight
per head being 1000 pounds. The
bunch sold for total of S4.792. or
nearly $40 each.
Horse clubs are being formed i'm
several counties in central and east
ern Illinois. and horse breeding is
being given a great impetus.

MILLER,
(Sig.)

The forecast for the year was read
by the secretary and is as follows:
For the next six weeks there will be
average winter weather. but at the
expiration of that term spring will
open with warm sunny days and bal
my nights. crops will be planted
earlier than usual anu bountiful
harvest will he gathered and good
prices obtained for farm products,
and general prosperity will prevail"
And so closed the 10th annual meet
ing OF the Taylor Ridge Ground Hog
society. Before closing this report
your correspondent in his own behalf
and for the benefit of those unac-
quainted with this locality who may
think we have drawn upon our imagi-
nation for some of the proceedings
recorded. wants to say that we have
observed the instruction given to us
when we consented to perform this
duty, which was to make Il faithful
record uf the proceedings just as
they occurred, and to this we add
our testimony, which is patent to all
who may visit this locality. that we
have not ovcrdrawn the picture-thc
magnificent farms and beautiful
pleasure resorts, the artificial lakes
of which there are threc-Lake Mil
Ter. Lake Hubbard and Lake Mohawk
all of which are supplied with
pleasure boats and stocked with all
the finest and most fashionable fish,
supplied by the state fish commits
sioners. These are found on the far
mers table whenever desired, winter
and summer. And the beautiful
groves that harbor these several
lakes are studded here and there with
modest but very comfortable cot
tages, and from the front piazza of
any of these ones eyes may feast
upon natures beauty in all its magni-
ficence as nowhere else. All the ma
tive wild animals in semi-domesti-
Gated state here abound and upon the
placid bosom of the lakes the maies-
tic swan is queen, and the wild goose,
brant, and ducks splash, splutter and
sport. afforSling the heholdcr unalloy-
cd pleasure and contcntment.
