Loup City Northwestern
A LIVE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN A LIVE TOWN
VOLUME XXXV. LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1916 NUMBER 7
FIRST SALE IN COUNTY
By ALFRED FLINT.
The first sale of pure bred stocks
ever held in Sherman county of home
production of any amount, was held
at Litchfield on Friday, January 28th,
by A. D. Jones of his pure bred Hamp
shire hogs. It was his first public
sale, although he has made many
private sales, and considering the cir
cumstances under which it was held—
Cold stormy weather, and his first ap
pearance before the public, and not a
little prejudice—It must be considered
a successful one. E. C. Stone of
Peora, 111., and secretary of the Hamp
y .shire breeders’ association, and edi
tor of the Hampshire Advocate, would
have paid much higher prices for the
hogs he purchased on orders from
Alabama, Tennessee, Kansas, South
j Dakota, and Nebraska. He said in1
Y 1 my hearing one gilt he bought for $56 i
was worth $150. He considers he |
bought some very cheap hogs for his j
patrons.
I have heard it remarked that his
purchase were only a sales bluff and
that they would go back to the farm,
but any one at the depot on Monday
morning would have seen six crates
of hogs going south to the places,
mentioned. Total weight 4,150 lbs. i
you had ought to have seen brother
Thompson’s smile; $9.11 corn at 5
per cent. Who wouldn’t? This sale
was cried by Col. J. C. Price assisted
in the ring by W. L. Miller of the
South Omaha Stockman. Col. George j
Slote, R. A. Stoufer, Mr. Price, al- j
though he mixed his English brogue
quite freely, certainly knows hogs,
and can talk hogs intelligently, and is
certainly an auctioneer of merit. You
can’t make a mistake by employing
him, in regard to our well known local
auctioneer, no remarks are necessary.
But Stone! Oh my; he’s a live wire.
I could not possibly explain him. His
talk on the Hampshire was worth
going to hear without the sale. He
was the life of the ring.
In regard to this breed of hogs I
was like very many others are strong- j
ly prejudiced against it. I had only j
seen them from the distance, never
having been close to them. I thought '
, they were all head, almost rail split
ter. I want to say that on close in
spection I was most agreeably sur-1
prised for they have less head than |
any hog I ever saw. They are1
strictly a bacon hog, not lard; you (
get meat, not fat. I do not pretend to :
know all about hogs but I have han-1
died them all my life until the last
few years. I have raised and fed them
and shipped them for many years, and ;
butchered them for thirty years. I
not only wipe out all my prejudice,
but pronounce them the best paying
hog to raise here, or anywhere else.
They are the best dressers and the
most meat leaving hog I ever saw—
the meat the people want to buy.
A. D. Jones came to this county,
north of Litchfield, about three years
ago, with his heart wrapped up in
bacon. He has certainly made a suc
cess of this special breed, as is show-n
by his many prize-winning ribbons,
and right here let me show- you boys
on the farm what you can do with
one of these sows if properly cared
for. For this is what A. D. Jones did.
He strated with one of these Hamp
shire sows a few years ago You farmer
\
who have hogs on the farm that are
getting a little restive and discon
tented, buy them—one of these Hamp
shire sows and yet them show you
what they can do. The following
extract gives a good account of Mr.
Jones’ career as a breeder of these
hogs:
He appeared in 1914 at the Nebraska
state fgir, just a young man who had
quit a good railroad job to satisfy
his desire to raise Hampshire hogs.
His desire was gratified to such a de
gree that he won first prize in the
Senior Yearling Boar class where com
petition was plenty and in the hands
of expert show men. A. D. Jones had
never had the experience of showing
hogs, but Litchfield Lad was so good
that even a breeder of Duroc hogs, as
judge, could see his superior quality.
Harve DeKalb, although he possessed
a rather noted career, is a most compe
tent judge of high quality Hampshire
hogs. He persisted in declaring that
Litchfield Lad was the best boar that
he had seen, not only at the Nebraska
state fair, but at any of the state fairs
in the fall of 1914. Several other
breeders which we could name, also
believed that Litchfield Lad would not
have been much out of place if he
had been named the grand champion
of the Nebraska state fair. In the year
1915, Mr. Jones returned to the Ne
braska fair again. Thm time he brought
Litchfield Lad. which was second only
to a boar which had many times been
first, and then he presented Genera!
Jones, a pig which he had purchased
from E. N. Manley, of Lyons, Neb., in
the junior yearling class. This boar
was an easy first prize, although there
were some very high priced boars and
other boars of good quality in the
show. This boar show was an excep
tionally strong feature.
Genera! Jones, under the judgment
of Mike Sharp, of Coal Valley, HI.
arose to the grand champion boar of
the show.

A Fine Pair
to draw to, is what
they say of some
things aside from
horses. Just the
same, to draw well,
a horse must have
Harness For All Occasions
Made in This Shop
Single or Double Carriage and work harness that is made
right in this shop—harness that is guaranteed to be
stronger than the horse that wears it—that is the kind I
sell. Everyone that has my harness knows the quality.
Remember!
That with every purchase you get a free coupon that may
win you a $55 set of work hames or one of the celebrated
Horton washing machines that never fail to please.
Also remember that these coupons are given in payment
of all book accounts.
