eleven sons and daughters, own four
teen quarter sections Of farm land |
near Homestead Last year Mr.. |
Ouhtier raised 5000 bushels OF wheat, /
a part Of which he sold for $500 per |
bushel He owns a large number Of |
the best blooded horses in that part Of |
the country and recently he gave a
horse show at one of his large farms, |
and although the day was stormy and /,
there were over thous- I
and people in attendance Mr.. Quilt
Ter had a brass band present for the
of those who attended the /
show, He has all the modern improve
nents on his farms and owns every
thing even to the modern machinery
that is needed in the way of the labor
