Approaching Pure Bred Sows.

The editor of this paper is in receipt
of several letters enclosing bids to be
used in the pure bred Duroc sale just

bred SOW. If bred SOW or gilt, bred
to boar of any merit as producer,
or any record as a winner or sire of
good easy feeding pigs, is not worth
from $40 to $50 she isn't worth record

any man who is breeding and dis
posing of his boars and gifts to
farmers, but we do want to impress
on the minds of every raiser of pure
bred hogs who takes care of the records
and takes the pains to have every

thing marked and all his breeding
stock recorded, that he is losing
money by all this effort and pains If
he is going to sell pure bred boar pigs
at SO or S15 and his bred gifts in the
fall and winter for $40 or $50.
nine or ten months old gilt bred ought
to weigh at least 70 pounds in January
says the Duroc Bulletin, and at the
prevailing market price of seven and
one half cents would bring close to
the $40. Now, what's the use of
pedigree and all this trouble? At the
farm sales being held throughout the
hog belt we absolutely know that
brood sows without any pedigree and
carrying the blood of possibly three
or four different breeds, with only a
limited amount of the ''corn crib
cross" showing on her ribs, brings
anywhere from $25 to $40, owing to
locality. Then why should a man
pay expenses for advertising them or
in holding a thoroughbred sale II
breeders who need this new blood are
going to fool their time and talents
away and expect to buy stuff of him
for less than $40? We don't want
anything like boom to strike the
breed, as struck tia few years ago,
but until the breeders who take pains
to have the right kind of blood and
take the care to keep up the records,
put a proper estimate on their stuff,
buyers will haggle around and want
to get coed breeding stock for pork
prices. The recent sales in the east
have opened tile eyes of the buying
public to the fact that the pure bred
sow is appreciated at least in one spot
in the hog belt, and not only in one
spot either, for the sows from the ten
sales held in Ohio since February L,
have gone into more than a dozen
states of the Union, bought by people
who attended the sales and knew what
they we're getting. We are "bull''
when it comes to the worth Of pure
bred duroc SOW and no price up to
$75 is too high, if the blood lines
are the producing kind and the
individual animal carries the proper
quality and has record of producing
families behind her.

Sale of Percherons.

One of the most forceful indications
of the demand among farmers and
breeders for Percherons is supplied
in the 18th annual sale held by j. q.
Robson at Whitewater Falls Farms,
Towanda, Kansas, February IA. In
spite of the fact that crop conditions
in that territory the past year were far
from favorable. the sale attracted a
large attendance and resulted in the
higher average, with single excep-
ton, of the long list of Robson sales.
The 40 head made an average of
1868. SO, and when it is understood
that a number of yearlings were in
cluded the figures have additional
significance. The top price was 81, 200
for fine four year old stallion.
