VERNON COUNTY sH0RTHORN
ASSN. SALE is SUCCESS
Good Crowd, and AyerageIy Fair Prices
PrevaiI-A Big Boost for Pure
Bred Stock

The sale of Shorthorn cattle by the
Vernon County Association at the fair
grounds last Thursday was success
from many standpoints.
Values were conservative but even,
generally speaking, and satisfactory
average was made.
The attendance from the county
clearly demonstrated the enthusiasm
now existing among our farmers in
better live stock and the offering was
almost entirely taken by Vernon coun-
ty buyers.
The offering was of very uniform
quality and for the most part OF the
combination type and blOodlines pre-
scented in pasture condition having
been grown in the ordinary way.
The quality of the animals showed
clearly the advantage of well bred live
stock as compared with the common
sorts and the spirit of the buyers re-
f1ected the trend toward establishing
better farm herds and especially so IN
Shorthorn cattle.
Following is a list of the Vernon
county purchasers, number OF animals
purchased and the price paid:

While hunting near Rising Sun last

good fortune of spying a wolf and
loading the hide of the beast with a

brought a modest penny or two, and
the distinction of killing that kind of a
pest is not to be held lightly.
