PORE BRED STOCK SALE
Fine Cattle and Hogs to be Disposed
of In Fargo on Nov. 8: Farmers
Should Attend.

China hogs offered at the live stock
sale to be held in Fargo November 8
under the auspices of the North
Dakota Live Stock Association. In
numbers this will be the largest live
stock sale ever held in the state, and
in quality the best. The cattle sold
will include twenty-six Shorthorns,
seventeen Aberdeen Angus, fourteen
Herefords, and three Galloways. The
cattle are consigned by the best
breeders in the state; all are Of excel
lent breeding and their type places
them in the class appreciated and de-
sired by the farmer who is looking for
cattle OF marked and outstanding
quality. There is conclusive evidence
Of this fact in as much as people from
all over the state and adjoining states
will be in attendance at the sale. 1t
is supposed that the quality of the
stock to be offered has becomo known
to people in distant parts of tie
country and this is serving to influ-
ence them to attend the sale. Some
heavy buying is predicted.
The Poland China hogs are of excel
lent breeding and fully pedigreed from
the best blood in the country. These
hogs are not being held up so high
farmer cannot afford to look at them
but are to be offered at reasonable
prices. There is large consignment
Of fine boars of servicable age, and
farmers are to be considered fortunate
in having such excellent animals at
their command.
One of the especially commendable
things about the sale is the fact that
all the cattle offered will be tested for
tuberculosis, and must comply with
the requirements of the Minnesota
Sanitary Board. This is without
doubt the greatest move ever attempt
ed in the interests of the live stock
industry in this state, as it will serve
to nip tt is dread disease in the bud.
Prof. Richards Of the Agricultural
college visited the farms Of all the
breeders consigning to the sale and
inspectaa the stock before it was ac-
cepted. With stock inspected before
acceptance and tested free from
tuberculosis. This sale will undoubt-
edly prove the greatest opportunity
ever presented to farmers who are
looking for the sort of sires to improve
their cattle and hogs and to get cor
rect start in the breeding of pure bred
stock.
