Of Ouroc Buyers.
TOP PRICE OF s142.5o WAS PAID
Hogs Purchased by Crawford County
Breeders, Which Speaks Well for
Messrs. Hunt & Mcdonald -,

.NE AaSL saturday AFTERNOON there was
a large attendance at the Hunt {; Nc
Donald sale of Duroc Jersey bears
The sale was held at the Laub barn
in Denison ard started at 2 o'clock
The auctioneer, N. G. Kraschel, in
his opening remarks, pointed out the
importance of raising more hogs next
year and the certainty of good price
for the same.
There need be no fear of the supply
exceeding the demand, for in times
of peace three-fourths Of the world
trade in pork originates in the Unit.
ed States, and the demand has been
greatly increased by the war. Right
now there is shortage in pork and
an increased demand for fats. The
raising Of pork is one of the quickest
ways to increase the meat supply,
There is an increased yield of corn
this year, but shortage in livestock.
The question arises. what shall we do
1t to the hogs and thus get it upon
the market in the shortest time pos
sible. 1t is the patriotic duty of all
who can to increase the supply of
pork and from financial standpoint

to reap his share of profits.
Regardless of the above facts, which
all should know, it seemed to many
that the Hunt & Mcdonald offering
sold at bargain prices" The top
price paid was s142.5O for fall boar
which p. G. Houston, Of Dunlap, pur-
chased All bidders were farmers who
lived in Crawford county, with the
exception of few from Sac county.
While we believe Messrs. Hunt & Nc
Donald were entitled to better prices
for their stock, yet we are pleased to
know that it will practically all remain
right here in the county to assist in
the good work of improving our live
stock. Several in the Offering were
not up to size to make good sale, but
It was no fault of the stock because
they were farrowed late. Had they
been narrowed earlier we believe the
prices paid would have been much
better. -Four head sold for one hun
dred dollars or better and seventeen
sold for sixty dollars or better.
q Col. Kraschel was ably assisted by
Col Malone. Cantine and Shaver
also assisted in the ring.
