goes high enough so country buyers
can pay $500 at home they will get a
good run.
Mart" J. Mullin. Abel, was here
with two loads of 1291-lb steers which
sold at $3.50. These cattle started on
full feed January / and cost 1928. He
also had car of 223lb hogs that sold

j. T.. Brown, the old-time stockman

They were uneven in weights, but
pretty good in quality. He says the
pig crop is coming good; not many
cattle in the country, and corn SO high
that he determined to ship his cattle.
The cattle cost him $3.50 last fall and
are good money-makers.
