shown over tho plnce by Mr. Blrge
who happened to bo spendlnp the af
ternoon there. Tho Tribune man
doesn't know much about finely bred
cattle and hogs, but Mr. Hoxlc is aJ
critical and competent Judge and he

Blrge's thoroughbred cattle and the
2200-pound master head of the herd,
as well as compliment the bunch of
250 thoroughbred hogs headed by a
black fellow who though somewhat
lean In flesh weighs G50. When Mr.

eral years ago his consideration was
quality regardless of cost, and tho de
cendnnts give evidence that "blood
tells."
Asldo from stock growing, some at
tention is paid to farming, and among
tho products this seasoli are six or
eight hundred bushels of exceptionally
fine potatoes.
