1t was not difficult to find Henry
Kruger in Gadsden. The barkeepers,
those efficient purveyors Of informa
ton and drinks, knew him as they
knew their thumbs, and casual round
of the saloons soon located him in the
back room of the Waldorf.

RECEIVED EIGHT CENTS POUND
Flock Brought Approximately $500
Besides the Wool Clip. from the
Ewes; Strict and Careful Atten-
ton and Fine Pasturage Cause.

Probably the heaviest lambs for
the middle of May ever sold in
Maury county were delivered on Fri
day afternoon by James r. William
son, of the Fountain Creek Stock
Farm, of Culleoka, to Hagey & Burn
EFT. 1t was an exceptionally choice
bunch, the average weight of fifty
two head being eightyseven pounds.
They brought eight cents a pound,
acking fraction Of cent OF total
ing $500 per head. The price re-
ceived for the fifty-two head was APP
proximately 1850.
| 1t is an exceptional thing when
spring lambs delivered the first OF
June, average eighty pounds, in fact
the average for the county would
probably be closer to seventy
pounds, but it is believed to be al
most unprecedented for May lambs
to make the weight of those sold by
Mr.. Williamson. Practically all OF
these lambs were dropped in Dec
ember and January. They were
from splendid native Southdown
ewes and the bucks were also of fine
quality.
! Mr.. Williamson's lambs have been
the admiration Of his neighbors all
Of the winter. Many predictions OF
the weight that they would make
have been made and to those who
saw the ambs the results were not
surprising. In addition to having a
fine quality of stock ewes and good
bucks, Mr.. williamson believes in
plenty of winter pasturage. His
sheep never in the bleakest weather
of the winter, knew what 1t was not
, to have all of the green, succulent
stuff that they could eat They
were pastured on wheat and rye and
barley. AS soon as the lambs came
: they ran in pasturage that was more
: than shoe mouth deep.

lambs, he will clip approximately VI

Some study things theoretically,

everything they learn to something

what we want today.
