with his stock which is promptly load

county farm is that contained on the
W. D. Low place two and one.half
miles northwest OF Sac City, where
Angora goats are being used to clear
the place Of hazel brush while they
bring a neat return for their owner
In wool and natural increase. A year
ago Mr.. Low purchased 127 goats
from Missouri dealers and as result
|of the exercise Of their ravenous ap'

the brush out of the way by fall.
Meantime he is selling the wool clip.
ped from the animals at $1.l5 per
pound and already this spring has had
100 young kids added to the herd.
They are nearly all twins.

The prospects for a good crop OF
spring pigs seems to be very good.
have visited a number of farms re.
Gently and found them there a plenty.
b. w. Hunt reports his pure bred Du'
roc brood sows are not disappointing

Lewis King operates stock farm
about four miles north Of DenisOn. He

Mr.. King intends to build new cat

found Herald Johnson on his
quarter section far mtwo miles east Of
Deloit. He bought the d. Schrader
farm last fall and moved upon the
same this spring. The Schrader fam
lily moved to a farm near Kiron. Last
fall Mr.. Johnson built large hog
house on the farm and is now making
other improvements. A forty acre
timber pasture will be fenced hog
tight and all the buildings reprinted.
He has a fifteen acre field of wheat
and has rented an adjoining forty
acres to keep him busy this summer.
Mr.. Johnson told me he had been a
Review subscriber for nearly twenty
years and could not get along without
it. The Review is the best county
newspaper in northwestern Iowa-its
a fact-I admit it.
