Shropshire Association Vice. President
OF the Association. This is quite au
honor and Mr.. Boles appreciates II
very highly. The American Shrop-

E. Il. Cline, farming east Of McCre-
die. had 10 acres OF corn last year that
averaged 70 bushels per acre. 1t is OF
Yellow Leaning kind, was checked In
planting and received level cultivation
all through the season. The planter
dropped alternate twos and threes,
and the plants received one cultiva-
tion with a Hallock weeder and three
plowings with a shovel cu~ltivator, and
although no ridge was made at the
last blowing, the stalks did not blow
down.-Fulton Gazette.
Henderson s. Son rounded up 1900
geese for shipments at Monroe City
last week. 1t was perhaps the biggest
and noisiest collection Of fowls Of that
variety ever seen in the county. A
cynical bachelor passing through on a
train, heard their racket and asked
Jim Lyons ii Carrie Nation was in
session down there. The geese were
loaded into one car and started to New
York, Friday, In charge Of Claud Hen
derson. This firm has shipped seven
car leads, 10000 pounds, of dressed
turkeys to the New York market in
the last six weeks. A tidy profit re-
suited.
Two OF the best mule sires in the
Kingdom-the Reynolds jack at Guth-
RE, and the Epersole jack, on the
Fisher farm, near F~ulton-were sold
to south-of.the-river parties last week,
the former for 81, 200 and the latter for
SLIGO. Both animals were purchased
by George Butcher, Of Maries county
and George Spradling, of Boone coun-
ty, who are agents for parties in
MarieS and Cole counties. The jack
sold by ]. r. Reynolds is famous the
county oyer for his fine breeding
qualities, and is a show animal besides.
1t is Of Duncan breeding on the i%sire's|
side, the dam being a jennet brought
from Kentucky by William Bass, Of
Boone county. The jack sold by John
r. Ebersole, Missouri Chief, is Of Old
Top breeding, five years old, and held
q front-rank place among the mule
slres Of the county, He was never
beaten In a sweepstake contest In the
show ring. While the deals are per-
haps profitable in an immediate way
Tor the sellers OF these fine animals, II
Is doubtful whether ia the long run
they are benefited, for 1t will be difii-
cult to replace such stock. Then, be-
sides, the mule industry OF the entire
has to bear the blunt OF the
oss OF two such excellent breeders
