ENTHUSIASM EVIDENT
AT DEMONSTRATIONS
Meat Specialist Gives Very
Valuable Information to
Those Attending

Mr.. R. w. Snyder has been con-
ducting a slaughtering and meat
cutting demonstration in Audu-
bon county the last three days.
The killing demonstrations were
conducted on Monday and Tues
day mornings, followed by the cut
ting demonstrations on Tuesday
morning and all day Wednesday,.
This allowed the meat to cool
about thirty-six hours before cut
ting it up. After the carcasses
were cut up, the different cures
were discussed, in order to aid the
farmers in getting a better quality
of meat, especially pork.
The first demonstrations were
conducted on the William Sum-
merville farm near Gray. -Four
hogs and a beef were slaughtered
and cut up.
The next demonstration was on
the John Griffith farm, east of Au-
dubon, where two hogs and a beef
were slaughtered.
The last demonstration took
place on the Roy Hensley farm
near Extra, where a beef and five
hogs were slaughtered.
Attendance at all these demon
strations was exceptionally good.
The average at these meetings was
about fifty people. A great deal
of interest has been shown, es-
pecially in seeing the different cuts
OF meat and the cures recon-
mended.

Williams, brother of the groom,
was in attendance.
We had noticed that Cupid had
been shooting arrows at this popu-
lar couple for several weeks but we
little realized the mischief be was
doing until alas! it was too late.
The bride was seen vending her
way to the depot Thursday after
noon with suit case and broad
smile; but the smile which she
carried away with her was naught
compared with the one she brought
back. She visited friends in Allan
tic until Monday when she was
met by Mr.. Williams and they
Immediately pulled off the stunt
which always marks the end of q
successful movie,
The groom is the proprietor O
the Williams Cafe; is very sue
cessful business man and has scores
OF good true friends who wish hin
and his bride, who is also very
popular, all the good things which
this world affords.
