Pavilion.

One OF Blue Earth county's great
Holstein herds, until yesterday one
of the finest assemblage Of puIo-
bred animals of the breed in the
state went under the hammer at the
Mankato sales pavilion and as a
herd is no more but what is the loss
10 the community of Good Thun-
der proves to be one of the greatest
of boons to those dairymen who yes
terday took advantage of their op-
portunity for improving their own
herds by adding choice animals
from the herd of F. II. Sohre 4 Son
of Good Thunder who are today out
of the purebred business after sew
eral years of successful enterprise.
There were fifty three head OF cattle
sold yesterday including few ami
mails consigned to the sale by other
breeders of this county and the av-
erage price was just about seven
dollars higher than that paid at the
state sale at the same place >on
Wednesday. The average figure
yesterday was S235.60 per head and
the gross receipts TO the sellers
amounted TO Sl2, ,490 Slightly under
the figure obtained in the state auc-
tion.
Day of Brisk Selling
Yesterday was a DAY of brisk SELL
ing and it was agreed that even
with the slightly higher average
price that was obtained there were
the greatest kind of bargains OBJ
tanned by those buying. One man.
Homer E Bailey of River Falls.
Wis. purchased more head than did
any other buyer but aside from that
individual there was a wide dis
tribution in the sales. w. w.
Hulce OF Rapidan, a banker was an =
other heavy buyer and many other
cattlemen from Blue Earth took
some of the choice animals al
though outsiders also got fair
share of the offerings One OF the
surprises of the sale was the low
figure brought By the great sire and
head of the herd. Spring Farm
King VII. who was knocked down to
L. H. Matzke of Good Thunder for
the sum of 1915.
The high price of the day was
paid by. the Rev. W. p. Clark OF
this city who bought a COW, Sohre
ly animal purchased by that indiv
iduaI but was probably the finest
female offered yesterday.
II was noticeable that young heif
ers were bringing far better com
parative prices than were cows
whose records and ability were
proven matters and it was that
which puzzled many OF the dairy
men who were watching the pro-
gress of the sale.
