ANNOUNCEMENT.

1t is a pleasure to invite breeders
of high grade stock to attend our
auction. We do not claim to see any
further into tie future than others;
we do not claim that prices of stock
will be much higher this winter than
last, but we know that the, larger
part of the world would starwe should
this country let up on production. We
also know that while prices of beef
and butterfat may be lower this
winter, it will be back again. The
harder they knock it down the less
there will be produced and the higher
it will bounce when the demand comes
from across the water for our already
depleted surplus. 1t took IL years
after the Civil War before prices
found their former level, and we had
only ourselves to feed. So take our
bunch, "the lucky ones are going to
be the ones who load up with good
breeding stock to sell at the inflated
prices the governments will have to
maintain to pay their debts"
The far-sighted ones are going to
reap the profits, and we are selling
red foundation stock for future pro-
fits, Tuesday, Oct. Fl. As head of
Red Polls at the Collins farm, five
miles southwest of Sank Centre. See
our advertisement elsewhere in this
issue of the Herald.
