Too Busy to Ship.

Live stock shipments have been a
little slow this week and the only
stock billed out on the 60" were those
shipped by William Darner, a carload
of hogs and one of cattle. What
with the putting up of the hay crop
and the harvesting of oats and the
finishing up of the cultivation of the
corn, the farmer has been too busy in
the fields to pay much attention to
the shipment of live stock to market.
