The Charles Mix new era. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1???-1911, 1905-06-23

Last SATURDAY IN per aQVef'
tisement, Kelsey q Sons pulled
of one Of their full blooded cattle
sales at this place. About thirty
five head were sold. Although
late in the season there was d
goodly number Of buyers pres.
ent, who came for stock cattle,
and the bidding was brisk on
nearly everything. There seem.
ed to be bigger demand for
cows and heifers than breeding
bulls, and tits safe to say twenty
head more of the former could
have been sold at good prices.
The remark was heard several
times that it was the best string
of stuff ever offered for sale in
this part of the state. Especially
so WAS this true of the offerings
from the herd of Welch & Welch,
of Academy this county. They
had nine head that were perfect
pictures Oh the Shorthorn breed,
all being of q dark cherry red
color and perfect individuals. 1t
was Il revs alton to many, that
these cattle had been bred and
raised right here in our own
coungv. and many were the COM
plimsnfs paid them by the out
side cas ele men who were present
to attend blie sale.
The bunch included Young
Prime tile head of their herd.
aid after being put up and sold
for S1o0, hey concluded he was
good enough to keep and bought
him back, returning him to the
ranch at Academy. Mr.. Kelsey
remarked s. us that he had heard
/. these people had some good
catCle but that he was not pre-
pared to see as good bunch as
they had present. Col. Barclay
said, in lm king them over, that
they we1 good enough TO go into
any Sd il Wisconsin, Minnesota |
or Iowa They were certainly a
good a.tvertisement for their
owners and we predict that in
tie near future Charles Mix
county, through them, will be
called upon to carry off some first
premiums for Shorthorn stock.
We hope this will not be the last
sale of this character Kelsey q
Sons will put on here, as there is
nothing better for the future de-
velopment of q new country than
the infusion of good blood in our
cattle. The effects of this sale
will bemore strongly appreciated
in one, two and three years than
atthe present time. The following
parties from this immediate vici-
nifty purchased stock: William
Donahu1, Jacob Eggers, Andrew
McKenna, John Wysuph, John
Morgan, Frank Potter, John
Burger, Beck Mitchell, Henry
Cavier, 4. S. Barrett, William

A good many farmers will a
point to June IL, 1905, as the day il
from which they began to better v
their grade of cattle. A better .
grade means better prices; bet v
