Last week a number Of farmers liv'
ing in the ncighborhood OF Manning
inquired Of me concerning the sixth
annual sale of pure bred Chester
White hogs which John +. Hoist. Jr.
will have, and seemed Interested in
the same. No doubt there will be
a big attendance at this sale when
forty head Of big husky fellows will
be sold. Mr.. Hoist has been raising
Chester Whites for number of years
and is we'll known in this and adj
Joining counties. After all is said
in regard to mans live stock, the
fact still remains that the stock must
be backed up by honesty of the
breeder. When it comes to honesty
the hogs going into the Hoist sale
October 10. will have as honest Il
man back Of them as can be found
anywhere. Any statement made by
him concerning his stock or any guar
antec made, by him. is as good as a
government bond If in the market
for a choice boar to head your herd,
I advise you to attend this sale at
the farm five miles west OF Dcnison,
Wednesday, October 10.

On the Charley Osscnkop farm and
tcnanted by his son, Walter. is
building which is now being re-
shinglcd for the first time since it
was built. The old shingles were
brought to the farm, which is located
seven miles northwest Of Manning,
by Mr.. Ossenkop just thirty-seven
years ago. He bought them in the
city of Clinton and brought them with
him when he moved on the farm. The
building was used as a dwelling place
for number Of years, but after the
new home was erected it was remOd-
elcd and has been used as a Sranary
since.

Golf returned the latter part Of last
week from a trip of 1900 miles through
Missouri and Arkansas in search OF
stock hogs for feeding and he brings
back an almost alarming report. He
says that there simply are no hogs
down there and that he is satisfied
that the government authorities are
not unduly alarmed over the shortage.
Down in the southwestern part of Mis-
souri, there is plenty Of fall feed but
little or no stock to which to feed 1t
and hay is selling as low as $40 pc:
ton baled. In the northern part OF the
state the dry weather ruined the
crops. That part of the country has
always been good but this year is the
exception and the farmers will have
hard time. Mr. Golf will look else
where, likely in South Daltota for
some hogs to feed for he is convinced
that they will be mighty high In price
John .Iurgcnsen is building a ma

bred for fall litters and they now

Seed was rather scarce last spring. so
he only planted an acre of potatoes.
He said the quality is good but the
yield only fair.
