due to improved shipping condi-
tons, these early hog breeders
and dealers continued to breed
them on their farms.
After the passing Of the early
breeders their neighbors have
continued to keep the breed
pure. Today in Madison county
there are more than a thousand
either pure breds or we'll bred
crosses. We have an association
of pure bred Red Berkshire
breeders. Other prominent Mad
ison county breeders are J. w.
Parrish, J. Miller Lackey, c. T..
Allen. We have kept the Turley
herd breeding records for Is
years and have bred for show
purposes since September, 1913,
always keeping to the standard
Of perfection adopted by our as
ISOLATION.
We have made sales of Red
Berkshires into Is states includ-
ing practically every southern
state, as we'll as Indiana, Hi
nois, Missouri, Kansas, South
Dakota, New York, North Dako-
ia, Maine, Minnesota, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
We have also sent car lots for
exhibition purposes and sale to
the state fair at Atlanta, Geor-
gia, and made exhibits of Red
Berkshires at Louisville, Lexing-
ton, Maysville, Nashville and
other points. At many places
special prizes and separate
class is given to the Red Berk
shires in the premium list.
My own herd is headed by
Revelation go, who has been
the grand champion boar of any
age in 1921 at the Kentucky
State Fair. Seventy-fve per
cent of all Kentucky State Fair
winners date back to Walkers

and is still owned by me.

URGES more DUR0CS
FOR MADISON CO

Tom E. Baldwin, Jr., one OF
the largest and most successful
hog feeders and breeders, be-
lieves that there is a good chance
in Madison county for more pure
bred Duroc hogs.
In an interview with Mr.. Bald
win for the benefit of the Farm
Bureau edition of the Daily Reg
lister, he states that pure breds
dress out much better than scrubs
which is a strong argument for
the better bred animals. He
states that Mr.. Coy kept careful
records and the well-bred Durocs
dressed out five per cent higher
than the common stock. The
killing was done by the Middles-
boro Packing Company.
Mr.. Baldwin calls attention to
the fact that Madison county is
the most extensive hog feeding
county in Kentucky. He feeds
out 500 to 800 head each year or
his 1900 acre farm near Fort
Estill.
He breeds pure bred Durocs Of
the Sensation and Defender
strains and has some pure bred
Durocs now Junior yearlings, far
rowed in March last year, that
weigh AS pounds each before
being put on feed.
Mr.. Baldwin favors the perfec-
ton of an active Madison county
Duroc Breeders Association
which he believes will be encour
aged by the Madison County
Farm Buerau. A real swine show
with Durocs and other breeds is
one of the hopes for the fair at
Berea this fall. The leading pure
bred Duroc breeders in Madison
county are Baldwin & Burke,
Brutus J. Cotton and William

SAVED MEMBERS
MONEY ON GRAIN
System of Quoting Wheat Prices
Greatly Improved-Bank
Deposits Increase

The Kentucky Farm Bureau
Federation helped their members
to- better grain prices according
to the committee on markets and
transportation.
Through the cooperation OF
the market editors of the Louis
vile papers, the Louisville Board
of Trade and Glenn Hewett, of
the Bingham-Hewett Grain Co.,
the system of quoting wheat
prices was greatly improved.
Quotations were accurate and.
based on prices on Chicago and
st. Louis markets, were on
much higher level than has ever
prevailed before in Kentucky. As
local millers quote prices to far
mers based on Louisville quota
tons, this system added MANY
thousands of dollars to the bank
accounts of Kentucky wheat
growers.

THOROBREDS OF

1t should not be forgotten that

world wide reputation as a pro-
Queer of famous saddle horses
and trotters. She has also pro-
duced some great running horses
Among the immortal ones are
"Semper Fidele," bred by w. r.
Letcher and "Bill Letcher," bred
by B. B. Million, of Richmond.
Both of these horses won i'm
portant stakes. There are host
of other winning thoroughbreds
that made their first start on the
blue grass pastures of Madison
county.

Parks.
Mr.. Baldwin likes a Duroc for
feeding purposes. He believes in
plenty of clover hay for young
pigs and a balanced ration at all
times. He has fed considerable
tankage as we'll as Purina, mixed
feed and reports, good success.
He states that he believes much
good work can be done in foster
ing pig club work through farm
boys and girls, and advises start
ing with pure bred Durocs. He
has an average of II pigs per
year for the two filters and this
spring litter averages 8 pigs per
sow.
The increased freight rate to
Cincinnati, proposed by the rail
road for the immediate future,
will cost the hog. shippers Is per
cent more, and Mr.. Baldwin is
hopeful that the Kentucky Farm
Bureau and the American Farm
Bureau will be able to prevent
the increase in rates. A hearing
is to be held soon in Louisville.

MADISON TOBACCO
OF HIGH QUALITY

The highest quality of Bur1ey
tobacco grown in Kentucky is
produced on the sand soil of
Poosey and Jolly Ridges in Mad
ison county. The soil is of per-

the decomposed stone making
up the soil, contains by analysis
around 2 per cent PHOSPHORUS.
The tobacco is of splendid grade
and the yield is high.

MADISON ORIGINATES
BREED or SWIM:
A Brief Story of the Kentucky
~ Red Berkshire AS Told By
Brother" Turley
(By w. B. Turiey)

The Red Berkshire hogs were
first called Silver Creek Reds
from the place in Madison coun-
ty from which they sprung. La
ter the name Red Berkshire
was adopted.
John w. Walker, Hitler Gibbs.
Jack Burnside and others were
the early originatorS Of the breed
and they were large traders in
their day.
; The Red Berkshire is not a
new production resulting from a
crossing of breeds and foisted
upon the public, as some new
breeds" have been heraalded to
the public.
On the other hand, the Red
Berkshire is a pure, fixed type
which mas been breeding pure
for around hundred years.
During this time the breed has
been improved just as other
breeds have been bred up by Sc
Alection.
The early originators above
mentioned found out the good
points of the Red Berkshire i'll
driving their hogs to the South.
These trips to the markets in
volved long excursions, driving
overland and feeding as they
went They found that the Red
Berkshires would take on flesh
faster than the other types and
were much better hustlers. These
facts were also noticed by the
planters from which iced was
purchased enroute. When the
long driving excursions to the
southern market came to an end

POULTRY PRODUCTS
NEARLY A MILLION

Several years ago the poultry
and egg shipments from Madi-
son county had reached three
quarters of a million dollars.
The stimulation of the poultry
industry in Madison county dur
ing the last year or two has
raised the figure.
Turkeys and other kinds of
poultry also do remarkably well.

FIRST BREEDER
OF BARRED ROCKS

Mrs. M. F. Arbuckle, of Rich
mond, is one of the pioneer
breeders of Barred Plymouth
Rock poultry in Madison coun-
ty. She began with pure breds
40 years ago and still has flock
of pure breds of this breed. Tbs
is surely a record for consistency
and loyalty to her favorite
breed.

cannot be said. Their beautiful
red coats, their wonderful loins
and hams, the latter coming all
down to their hook joints, their
well sprung ribs give them dis
tinction. They are red in color,
or red with white face and feet,
and their upright ears give them
an alert, wide-awake appearance.
Their small tapering head indi-
Gates a scarcity of cheap meat.
They have big bones and carry
their weight well. They can be
fattened for market at any age,
and yet, if desirable, can be fed
to any weight. In some instanc-
es, individuals of this breed have
attained l,050 pounds.
Prepotency is an outstanding
quality in their crossing. The
sows are good mothers and the
filters large. They develop early.
Where hogs are raised for the
market we believe the Kentucky
Red Berkshire surpasses any
other breed,
