A Fine Hcrd of Hogs.
Brief mention was made in the
RnpuDLlcAN last week that Willis
Cadwell had rec ived a fine lot of
Duroc-Jersey hogs on Wednesday.
On Tucsday of this week we
had the pleasure of seeing this
consignment of hogs-twenty-
two in number-and in saying
they are undoubtedly th \ finest
bunch of Duroc-Jerseys hogs ever
brought to Custer county is not
putting it any stronger thap the
facts will warrant.
They were bred and raised at
Ragan , Nebraska , and purcbasecl
by Mr. Cadwell at a public sale at
Aurora. Mr. Cad well did not
,
purchase for the purpose of selli ng
again tor a profit , but as a neu-
clus to establish a herd of Duroc-
Jers ys which he can claim as
being equal 'to the best or better
than any in the state.
In the herd are four boars-
three last spring's and one ' year-
, ling-and each of them is , a fine
specimen of animal , the ye 'rling
, being well worth the time spent
in going to Mr. Cadwell's farm
to see.

smoke.
