HOGS and CATTLE BRING HIGH
PRICE AT FARM SALES FRIDAY

ed by Shurley before some of them
got down from various perches. at
$751;; said bovine being of the male
persuasion by birth and breeding.
Mr.. Shurley also obtained four heif-
ers at say, $50 each, average. w. H.
Wilson paid 1913 for his purchases in
the cattle ring, a red COW costing
$40 of the money, the top on cows
without calves at side. After Plate
Montgomery had bought four cows,
some with calves, at from $50 to $l24,
he took over three steers at $S5 each.
George Hensley paid S131 for cow and
calf and Everett O'Neill $126 for a
similar pair. Among Ollie Hodgin's
| purchases were: A red COW and calf
at SAB, three heifers at an average
of $73 and four calves at about $50
each. 1t isn't every fifteen minutes
/ that one can buy a COW with twin
calves, but Mr.. Hodgin captured that
com bination at $12S on Friday. Cliff
Gard got two steers at $103 each.
With reference to shoats be 1t
known that there were no ''piglets" in
the lot, these feeders ranging up to
j125 pounds. Our impression is that
| they ran a good $40 per head average
and netted at least $4,000 for 100
! head Will l.. Gaar bought 70 head,
we think, and Harry Mccullough got
the balance in the shoat line. These
i two were determined not to run out
Of meat" apparently; wanted 1t worse
!. than anybody in the ring. The Sc head
of sows and gifts went to various buy
ers, the top being $66 on Chester
Whites and on Polands a shade less.
Bruce Herbert got a sow with 10 pigs
at SOS and one with nine at SOS.
| The records were kept at the Fleisch
sale by f. E. McNIinn and Jesse
Weichman, of the Dickinson Trust, the
later rep orting an intake of 400 as
cashier. Col. Tom Commit and Omar
Platt induced the bidders to part with
all that good money.
A Real Dinner
| The ladies of the Boston, Ind,
Cemetery association served real
dinner. Hot roast beef with dressing
/ and Drowned potatoes, mark We, with
! bread and butter and beans and pie
and good coffee, with nary wennie
in sight, bless Pat There are twenty.
! four good-looking women in this assoc.
iation, judging from those present
and whose names follow: Mrs. Emma
Parks, Mrs. Mary Peterson, Mrs
Grace Short, Mrs. John Phenis, Mrs
Polly Dill. Mrs. Laverna Eby, Mrs
Dan Kitchell, Mrs. Ada Bosworth. and
Mrs. Anna Overholser. Now you know
why men came miles to eat dinner and
then stayed on to buy stock. don't
you?
| LEvERTON and WisSLER SALE
The sale at the Willard Wisslel
farm, two and one-half miles souti
of Hiser's station on the National road
Friday, was very satisfactory to al
concerned. 1t was over in time fol
buyers to escape drenching in the
heavy downpour of the afternoon
| The only near-accident on account Of
! the high wind was the overturning OIL
a top buggy, just as the owner was
starting out to the road. No damage
or harm resulted.
Sight For a Hoa-Lover.
| If you fancy the great American
hog, particularly of the Chester White
va riety, you would have enjoyed gaz
ing upon ten brood pens in the hos
house at the Wissler farm. These re
corded sows were not put on sale, bu
on exhibit. Every last one of then
had a contented new family, ranging
at from "a hours to two or three
weeks. 1t was a sight for photo
