citation Sale Totals $12,975.
The annual sale of the St. Francois
County Hereford Association, held at
the Clardy farm, Tuesday of this week,
totaled $12,975. Fifty-two head of
cattle were sold, making sale av-
erage of $249.50 each.
A lot consisting of an excellent
Fairfax cow and calf and re-bred to
c. B. Denman's herd bull, Don Fair
fax, topped the sale at $3.50. This
lot was consigned by C. B. Denman of
Pennington and was bought by c. C.
Weimer of Pennington.
John Burlbaw topped the sale in
the heifer class, with an excellent
yearling heifer of his own raising,
sired by his herd bull, Gartside, and
with almost equal lines of Dale and
Beau Donald blood on the dams side.
This heifer was purchased by Albert
Wulfert of Pennington, at $400. Mr..
Burlbaw consigned four yearling
heifers to the sale which sold for
$1365. These four heifers were
bought by Albert Wulfert, H. ]. Ber-
thold. Herman Heck, and Henry De
tring.
c. ]. Westmeyer sold a promising
young heifer having Dale, March On,
Beau Brummel and other excellent
blood lines, to John Mueller for 1865.
c. B. Denman sold heifer ofrex-
cellent breeding and individuality to
H. X. Berthold, of Bismarck, for $500.
Henry Manley sold a good double
Beau Donald COW with first calf at
side, sired by Don Fairfax, to Mrs.
c. B. Denman, at $500. J. A. Weimer
sold two cows with strong Beau Dom
aid and Beau Brummel breeding. One
went to w. C. Rohlander for $3.50, and
the other to Geo. Tetley for $500.
The Red Cross special cow and calf,
contributed by C. B. Denman, sold for
1915. This cow and calf should have
brought more than this for the COW
has been one of the best breeding
cows in Mr.. Denman's herd. One of
her heifer calves sold in the same sale
for $500. This cow carried a perfect
red cross in field of white on her alb
domen and, according to Mr.. Denman,
must have been selected by nature to
aid the Red Cross. Half of the pro-
ceeds of this sale was given byIIMr
Denman to the Red Cross and the
other half to the United War Work
Fund. The St. Joseph Lead Company
generously agreed to subscribe one
dollar for every three the COW
brought.
Other members of the Association
who consigned cattle to this sale
were Ed Drew of Caledonia, L. E.
Feezor of Pennington, Lloyd Fergu-
son of Mine La Motto, H. j. Harter
of Weingarten, Ed Turley of Knob
Lick and C. c. Weimer of Pennington.
There were positively none but
high class cattle sold and considering
the influenza epidemic, which prevent
ed people from travelling, and scarcity
of feed, the sale was very satisfac-
tory one. 1t is the opinion of all the
members of the Association that had
conditions been as they were last
year, the average would easily have
been $50 higher.
