Growth look, a two year oiu, tnat
measures over six feet long three feet
high with a ten inch bone and perfect
enough to win the bluo ribbon from Big
Tec. 2nd, 1909.
This typo oi hog lias proven very
profitable in Bpito of the high price
tor feed. Having lived on alfalfa with
a small grain ration, they were in show

for the market if need be.
Soma of the bulls have a close

cows running in the same pasture with
their other cattle were fat and in good

cattle were thin. We have advocated
this, and are nlcased to hear others
shout "Amen," and feel the better
prepared to face the leea proposition,
which is fast becoming a vital ono.
