ding and lively contests, with buyers
from several states, though the larger
number were from Indiana and Ohio
towns within a radius of 100 miles,
made the first Duroc Jersey breed sale
OF Charles Hildebolt, held at his farm
southwest OF EaIon on Monday, fairly
successful
Prices paid were not sensational but
were considered good for the rather

lines or individuality were promptly
reflected in more eager bids, and high
er prices.

tertainment for the crowd, all sitting
up and listening to the bidding with
interest as soon as they learned his

then ran up the bids steadily until his
opponents dropped out. He gave his
bids promptly and left all of the auc-
uoneers urging to be spent on the
other bidders. Stewart Bros of Cam
