The Witt sale last Saturday was a
success! Mr.. Witt had an extra good
herd of milk cows and the prices
paid were above the average at the
public sales that have been held late
ly. The secret of Mr.. Wits success
is the fact that he has endeavored to
keep the best blooded stock that could
be found in that strain. 1t never has
been much trouble to sell good stuff
and today the people are beginning
to see the wisdom of having the best
stock that can be secured.

USING WAREHOUSES;

The several br0OmcOrh warehouses
are being used this week, perhaps
owing to the shortage of cars at this
time. The local market for the
brush has been only reasonably act
i've. The prices range from $100 to
$50 and there is no excitement at
any time. The brush keeps coming
to market and occasionally there
comes a good lot for which good
price is paid, but the low grade and
lily handled stuff creates low price
for much of the brush.
