ed a flne registered Duroc Jersey

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

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

see his hogs before buying.
