IN STEP WITH PROGRESS
E. L. Brown Believes in Pure Bred
Hogs and Cattle

Pure bred hogs and pure bred cat
tie find hospitabIe quarters on the
farm of e. L. Brown, living three
miles southwest of Hancock. Mr..
Brown has pure bred Duroc Jersey
hogs and pure bred shorthorn cat
tie.
Mr.. Brown has 13 head of Short
horn, ten cows and calves and three
bulls. He started in with pure
bred cattle three years ago and has
been gradually increasing the num-
Der of pure breds on his place. He
also has nine grade animals but ex-
poets to get rid of them as SOON as
he can get as many pure breds as
he wants.
Mr.. Brown started in the pure
bred Duroc Jersey game three years
ago also when he secured two little
pigs at SIS per head. One of these
two he recently took to market. He
has now 80 hogs, having kept six
brood sows over winter He had
early spring pigs with the conse-
quent bad luck that most people had
with them.
He is farming 100 acres of land
at present, having been at his pres
ent location for the past six years.
This year he has 80 acres in corn,
70 in oats and the rest in pasture
and hay. Last year he pIowed his
pasture up and this spring sowed it
to sweet clover and oats. While he
has at present good flock of chick
ems in another year he expects to
| have a flock of pure bred barred
Plymouth Rocks. Mr.. Browns herd
is accredited. he having received his
certificate last year.

taken advantage Of those fifteen min

The county Farm Bureau office has
received a copy of letter written
by Pres. Harding to J. R. Howard,
president of the American Farm Blu
reau federation, in which the chief
executive of the United States gives
outspoken praise to the Farm Bureau
organization.
Almost from it's earliest begin
nfngs 1 have been quite Intimately
apprfsed of the developing work of
the Farm Bureau Federation says
the presidents letter. "It has taken
it's place in an astonishtng1y brief
period among most important and in

of the best agricultural development
but also of shaping the community
sentiments of the country.
Its policies have been directed
with a uniform wisdom and breadth
of understanding which have we'll

Mr.. Bowser was rather quiet all

minutes. He was brought out of his

the judge, but there was: no returned

a scuffie, because the boy tried to bite
his hand. He told of Mr.. Bowser's in

Dinner was ready at the usual hour,
but Mr.. Bowser had not appeared.
Mrs. BOwser waited three minutes,
and then began to worry.
Why didn't Mr.. Bowser come?
Had he gone on a fishing excursion
and been wrecked, and perhaps been
cast on lone island, miles and miles
at sea? He might have gone up in q
flying machine and taken a drop. He
might have gone out into the country
to buy q piece Of land to raise grass
hoppers.
Half-past six, and no Mr.. Bowser!
Mrs. Bowser put on her hat and
walked up to the car line. She stood
on the corner for a quarter Of an hour,
and no Mr.. Bowser. She returned to
the house to telephone, but who could
she telephone to? Who kept track and
trace of Mr.. Bowser?
The cook came up to console her.
and she did it by saying:
do not worry, Mrs. Bowser. If Mr..
BOwser has fallen off the roof Of q
building and been smashed all to Jelly,
that's the end Of him, and you can't
help him any by worrying. He may
have climbed a tree and Is afraid to
come down."
Mrs. BOwser was moving toward the
telephone, when 1t began to ring. She
answered very quickly.

an officer while doing his duty, he was

"And nothing has happened to him ?
