ment was secured at the old price.

the members of the club; these sows
8are bred to thoroughbred boars. The
h sows are cared for by the club mem
h bers and at the time of the Spokane

the best young pigs exhibited and all
N the rest of the litter and who may at
Il ms option purchase the SOW and 9TH

#the raising of thoroughbred pigs and
" their offer is one that offers a great
opportunity to enterprising young
u Farmers.
