Mr. G N Cochran enjoys the reputation
Of laising the finest young horse in this
section and Oh Tuesday OF this week sold
Mabel G, a brown tiIly to Mr. ] Sim
mons, OF Philadelphia, for 500 The sire
of this colt is Prince March, 220, dam |
Farmers Pride This colt is bred in the |
purple and should convince all farm

The average city man who goes Ihome at |
night SO tired he just cannot rake up the |
dead leaves in the front yard, is always |
yearning to get out on a farm. He crawls |
YEARLY out of bed about 7.30 in the |
morning, and before he starts for the Of |
fee or store he yawns and wishes he were
on farm. But if he had to get up at |
$50 in the morning he couldn't do it, and |
il he had to milk 'steen cows, carry feed |
to 40 hogs, split three armsful of wood
and carry it to the house and doctor |
sick horse after working IA hours day |
in the field, he'd naturally curl up and |
croak. 1t is awfuIly easy to sit at an Of |
fee desk and run half section farm.
