P. H. Munk recently purchased -
ed a flne registered Duroc Jersey

bers in thc sta te.
Nc George of Cumro , an extensive -
tensive raiser of cattle and hogs
after looking over several herds
of hogs with the view of selecting -
ing a thoroughbred Duroc-Jersey
male , found the animal of his
choice last week in the herd of
G. B. Cadwell , south of the citv
which hc bought. As Mr.
George is not only an extensive
hog raiser , but a man of experience -
ence it speaIs well for Mr. Cad-
well's stock of hogs. He has a
large number of males as well as
guilts to select from and those
wanting the best will do well to
see his hogs before buying.
