(By United Press.)

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Aug. 28.-Belief by
farmers that the government is in

given by drovers today as the main
reason for the decline in live stock

Fifteen thousand cattle and ten
thousand hogs were on hand at the

Packing house experts said that the

KEEN & SONS SELL
FIFTY HIGH BRED
REGISTERED DUROcS
FOR A TOTAL OF $3,7t8-AN Av.
ERAGE OF LESS THAN $500
PER HEAD.
FIRST MIDSUMMER , SALE
Prices Paid Very Little Above Pork
Prices--Highland Farm Owners Un-
daunted But Will Go Right Ahead
With Their Educational Work.

w. C. Keen & Sons first mid-sum
mer sale was a success in as much as
Keen & Sons did everything they ad,
vertised that they would do, They
sold the best collective lot of individu-
ais they have ever offered, and al
though the hogs were almost taken
away from them they took their medi-
cine without sign of let up.
There were fifty of these splendid
sows and gifts sold under the hammer,
for total of $3,71S, an average of
$74,36. This is hardly pork prices for
some of the large sows that were sold
j. A. and George e. Sloan were the
heaviest buyers, while James William
son, of Old Homestead Farm, was a
close second. James Ridley and Tom
PEBBLES were also liberal buyers.
The highest price paid for an indi
yidual was paid by James Ridley and
a Mr.. Fariss. These were OF the De-
fender strain and sold for $125 each.
Either of the sows would weigh 500
pounds or more and were bred to Or
ion Cherry King boars.
One of the most exciting scenes of
the sale was caused when a large
brood SOW and seven hefty pigs were
driven into the sales ring. The bid
ding was at once spirited, but James
Sloan stayed longer and got the sow
and her brood for $3.50. The second
SOW. which was not so large as the
first, brought $40 and was also bid in
by Mr. Sloan. The last SOW sold had
a brood of seven pigs which were ev-
cry one fine individuals.
The sale was conducted by Iglehardt
and son, and was success in every
way except the price paid for the Of
ferings. The open gifts sold were
practically all bought by the local
breeders
Keen & Sons had their herd boars,
Highland Orion Cherry King, High
land Defender Major and another ex,
cellent herd boar on exhibition dad
were greatly admired by the visitors.
The ladies of the Ferndale Commu-
nifty Club served an elegant dinner at
the sale barn at noon and promptly at
1:30 Col Iglehardt began his short
preliminary address.
Keen & Sons will hold another sale
next February, and will keep up the
midsummer sale feature, as they are
not daunted by the inclination on the
part of the people to take their hogs
from them.
Thomas H. PEBBLES, Immediately
after the sale, rose and announced
that there would be a com mbination sale
at the Experiment Station today, at
which time himself, r. J. Owen and
Miles p Murphy would put up some
more Thoroughbred Durees for the peo-
PIE to take away from them
