y Charters greatest effort in behalf O
the big type Poland China's. He will

- lie the most select lot of bred sows
c that he has ever sent into an auction.
, In order to make the sale the more at
tractive, he has selected from his own
: breeding herd more than one-half of
the entire sale offering. This state

tons of breeding stock to be found in
this country. Under the circum-
stances which will place this collec-
ton Of sows in the sale ring, buyers
will be given the opportunity of plac-
ing values on magnificent tried sows,
fall yearlings and big spring gifts,
which would not have been for sale
except for the fact that the owner of
the herd has an ambition to give his
customers the best material at his
command, with the hope that it will
be appreciated.
The sows which will 90 into this
auction will represent the get of IS of
the best known big type sires in
America. This means that there will
be considerable variety of breeding,
from which breeders and farmers ,
may select animals with pedigrees I
best adapted to their particular use. J
