The article in recent issue of GER
tain daily newspaper relating to cows

of fermentation and consequently some

country in increasing quantities.

Two auction sales held in this vicinity
lately were almost exclusively adver-
tised in The MESSENGER and in both
instances the attendance and enthus-
iasm was all that could be desired. AT
the John Diamond sale, while it was
only advertised week in advance, and
only in this paper, there was large
crowd and everything moved at graft
flying figures. The same condition pre-
vailed at the l. r. Field sale and the
eight cows that were sold there brought
an average of $93 apiece, the highest
figure being $155 for cow and calf
and the lowest s68 for two year old
heifer. If any of our farmer friends of
this vicinity are contemplating an auc-
ton, we ask them to come to THE
MESSENGER office and investigate our
terms and service. We can prove that
both are very attractive. E. l.. Pow
ers, the Clio auctioneer, conducted both
the sales above, referred to.
