Three managing editors and ora

dom have suddenly revived long
cherished dreams and have resolved
to become farmers. 1t all happened
between six and seven o'clock yes

This Is how il came to pass:

the u. S. boys working reserve, had
accepted invitations TO visit the old

When the journalists and Miss
Walden arrived. the boys were busy
playing votley bail in court laid out
in the old orchard. The days work
was over and. still in their work
clothes. they were enjoying the relaxa-
ton dear to hoyhood. The tractor
about which they had lowered all
morning anl afternoon had been put
away in 4 shed and the tinklc OF
kitchen utensils from the farm house
gave promise of Joys to come.
A truck arrived bearing a new
tractor, AMI the game stopped abb

sows owned by ]. NJ. Ballard Of Ma

1872 tons 800 pounds Of pork (1e4, 500
pounds). This makes an average pro-
ducing record for each SOW Of 2.52
tons. These hogs sold for the top Of
the market on the day they went to
the packer and including their spring
filters they yielded almost fifty thou
sand dollars In cash for pork sold.
These figures would prove that each
of these eows is worth slightly over
$500 for every year she Is retained on

While a few rich men have been
promoting Hampshires and like them
very much their history has been made
largely by men who find 1t necessary
to earn their own living. No other
breed in America has enjoyed such
successful summer and fall sales and
Hampshire men state that their bank
accounts fully prove that the adver-
tised prices are actual. These sales
have averaged better than twice the
market price, after paying all sale ex-
penses. Hampshires always bring big
crowds and spot cash.
