three cars of stock shipped down from
the farm and entered in the fat STOCK
competition One car consisted of
finished two year old grade steers.
They got second prize. One car was
hereford grades: yearlings, got first
prize; and the third car was short
horn grades, yearlings, and took Sc
cond.
The two year old boar, which has
been at the thead of the herd of
swine at the farm, was also exhibit
ed and took second prize in his class
of registered poland chinas.
The carload of two year olds was
sold at $3.50 per hundred. The re-
guIar market for grain fed steers the
same day, as shown by the city pa
pers, was s4.5O to $500. The lot that
took first prize in competition with
them was sold fol s6.25. The reason
fort his was that the other lot was
little higher grade and therefor
showed little finer quality in the
ring, but they were not capable of
dressing out as large percentage of
meat to the carcass as those from the
Riverside farm.
When the steers were taken from
the farm here they weighed pretty
close to 1900 pounds each. They had
been on grain ration since last No
vember, about ten months. They
brought about ninety dollars each.
Does it pay to feed grain to cattle?
1t is not everyone that could do as
" ell as the above. Mr. Lamberson is
able to put capital into the business
and carry it through under circum-
stances that would sink others. He
has al experienced man as superin-
tenden5 who understands all the ins
AMI outs of the business of feeding.
1t is not merely matter Of turning
the stock loose in a grain bin. But
anyhow the profits that appear to fol-
| low Mr.. ~Lamberson's efforts go to
SAIo" eiieso iiCoio CApCiiiuCIIoiliS oh
that line by Others would not be a
| waste OF effort.
There is more interest taken in
this branch OF farming every year.
Soon there Will be q few head of good
stock being fitted aud finished on
every other farm in this region.
That will be enough to give the
county reputation, and give CONT
dence in the results, and then the
| battle for diversified farming is won.
County Attorney Brown has sold
his automobile. This may be a sur
prise to those who know how much
pride and pleasure he got out of the
contraption. Il it hadn't been a
political year he might have con-
tinued in possession of the machine,
but he found that he couldn't give
the campaign and the automobile
both the attention they demanded
SO he decided to dispose of the latter.
He can get another next year, when
there is no campaign. Mr.. Brown
had speedy machine and took great
pride in his ability to operate it.
That was where his troubles began.
When out calling on his political
friends he would speed up once in
a while when he struck particular
ly good piece of road, and would get
tc going so fast that he lost count
of the section corners and before
he knew it would be electioneering
in the next county. It sounds a
good deal like the story Of the trains
that ran SO fast that when the young
man leaned out of the window tc
kiss his best girl goodbye, on the de-
pot platform, he kissed cow two
miles up the track instead. But
there we're more troubles yet. Mr..
Brown was always careful when he
met teams on the road he would al
ways give them the right Of. way
and if the horses were really frac-
tious he would stop his machine and
Ihelp to get the team past. On one
of his trips lately, he noticed an old
lady hastily clambering out of bug.
| gy at his approach. An old gentle.
man was holding the lines on a staid
old nag, and there seemed to be nc
call for anxiety on the lady's part.
lMr. Brown stopped and called K
know If the horse was scared. The
old man baWled back that the nae
was all right, but that it might b
we'll to come and lead the old woman
past the machine. That evening
Mr.. Brown traded his automobile fol
a pair of driving norses and q phae
ton.
HE'LL Worth Trying.
