The eYRNEs SALE. :.

The J. T. Byrnes & Sons dissolu.
ton sale has passed into history. 1t
was held at the farm eight miles north
east of Denison Tuesday of last week.
Coils. Teaquist & Mclaughlin were on
the block and they sustained their
L previous reputation as excellent live
stock statesmen. While the weather
was quite cold the attendance was
good and the large new modern hog
house was filed to its full capacity.
The offering was in good condition,
especially the swine. We have never
seen a more even bunch of bred sows
60 into sale ring. When we stop to
think that this was the first pure bred
sale on the Byrnes farm the grand to-
tai seems larger. Nineteen head of
Poland China .sows were sold and the
entire offering sold for an average of
$1O4. The top price was an even $3.50.
paid by Mike McGrath, of Vail, and
she was well worth the money. Harry
Mcleod, of Manila, purchased sever
al Of the tops, paying $145 for his best
one and she was the bargain Of the
day. The cattle did not sell quite so
well, but nevertheless the entire Offer
ing made an average of 1926. They
were not In as good condition as the
swine and many of them were only
calves, so the price was not bad at
that. C. w. Lindgren, who owns one
OF the best herds Of Angus cattle In
Ida county, got the top COW, paying
s152.5O. She goes to a good home.
Norman Inghram, neighbor of the
