Mexico weekly ledger., 1922-10-19

ciuD. 1nls Work Is pracucaliy new
in Galloway County as only one pig
club has Leen organized and it has
just FIVE members.
W. W. johnson, who with his son
have already imported 1900 sheep
into Audrain county from the West
for feeding purposes, says that
10000 or more sheep have been ship
ped into the county this fall by feed
ers.
Mr.. johnson has fully 1000 more
to come before his allotment is COM
pleted. In Eastern Audrain William
Cunningham, William Schultz, VIII
liam Bailey and Henry Stewart are
all feeding large numbers of sheep.
Mr.. Johnson has imported more
sheep than he has this year, but says
the total on feed here today is more
than is usually on grass at this time
of year in the county.
In writing up the top cattle sold
Wednesday for S. S. Shay, Galloway
county, Mo-, we failed to mention an
interesting fact concerning this beef
maker. This is his 18th year in fat
tening cattle and he has topped the
market in ten of them. Few stock
men in the country can equal 3 re-
cord such as this. His Hereford
yearlings at $11.75 were practically
thoroughbreds, and their extreme
high quality caused general favorable
comment from all who saw the beeves.

At 5 o'clock Monday afternoon a
wind arose from the northwest and
for several hours the mercury fell
rapidly giving the people Of Mexico
their first real touch of winter this
season. The lowest temperature
during the night was twenty-eight de-
grees above zero. This is the coolest
weather of the season thus far but
is the second time it has been below
freezing.
The sale of Hereford cattle held
by John Herndon of Centralia last
week brought total of over $4,000,
averaging about $85 an animal. The
crowd was small and bidding was
n t as good as had been hoped. F.
W. Vance of Iowa, father-in-law Of
Dennis was the heaviest buyer, pur-
Dennis Moore was the heaviest buyer,
urchasing carload. Some Of the an
imals sold belonged to the Buckley
herd.
Ellis Brothers, who Rambouillet
flock of show sheep has been winning
at all the state fairs, again captured
Grand, Championships at the Okla.
City and the Muskogee Fairs. At
these two fairs these flocks brought
home a total of 26 prizes in rings
against strong competition.
Word has not yet been received re-
garding their success at the Texas
State Fair in Dallas, last week. They
are being shown in Shreveport, Ia,
his week at the state fair there.
These sheep are giving Audrain
more advertising along this line than
any sheep ever shown from this CO.
unity. In fact they are becoming al
most asf good an advertisement as our
Saddle Horses once wore.
The weeks receipts were swelled
by two loads of cattle which sold
Wednesday Oct. 18th at $10.10; a
veraged 1877 los; shipped by Joe
Gregory of Audrain county, Mo.
These cattle were fed by Mr.. Gre
cory and he went home we'll satified.
He says he thinks this is the
ear to feed, an intends COM
ing back to the market in a couple
of weeks to buy three or four loads
to put into his lots. Mr.. Gregory is
one of the most successful auctioneers
Of Audrain county, and while young
man, has shown marked ability for
his particular line Of work, as his
steady success and the continual de.
mand for his services demonstrated
